Jess And The Ancient Ones are a rather unusual formation, seen from a musical point of view, even though they do fit perfectly to Svart’s roster. On May 23rd 2012 the band debuted with a nameless (self-called) full length (review: see Archives Section, update 09/12/12). Apparently there was a split-EP with Deadmask through Doomentia, but I haven’t heard this material, so I can’t say anything about it.
Flotsam And Jetsam, arguably one of the most influential and prominent acts from thrash metal, has returned to Metal Blade to release their new album ‘Ugly Noise’.
German act Cadaver Disposal was formed at the end of 2010 by former members of Braindead (Stefan Meyerhoff and Jörg Kuchenbecker) and Final Depravity / Deus Inversus (Dennis Baron).
Strawberry Blondes Is a UK based pop/rock/punk band.
Damn, I lost my count, but who didn’t? Since the band came out in 1984 with “In The Sign Of Evil” it was always on top of the four big teutonic thrash metalbands.
Kingdome Come is a German / American band formed in 1987 by Lenny Wolf, German origin. The bran new “Outlier” is the band's new material since 2009, when their last album “Magnified”, was released. ”Outlier” has again became a very special album, that fans will love.
Opener “God Does Not Sing Our Song”, has a profound atmosphere, created by the rhythm section. “The Trap is Alive” has great bass lines with AC/DC type of riffs.
For a project with some truly high-grade Instrumental Metal music, these guys sure use a terribly illegible logo! But heck, that's not what this is about, is it?
Komatsu (thank God I don't have to try to pronounce the band's name) is a metal band from Eindhoven, the Netherlands. One year after their debut EP, it's time to welcome their very first full-length record, which goes by the title of Manu Armata, meaning nothing less than 'arms in hand'.
It seems incredible, but even after more than 40 years past Jimi Hendix' death (he died on September 18, 1970), people still find original recording masters with studio material which was never before released!
If there's one thing that gives me slight creeps, it's Mister Bieber. Next to that, you have emo metalcore. The Norwegian band of Dyst describe themselves as such a band. However, what they bring is far from the childish thing I first had in mind. This young band seems to be really grown up musically.
