The third full-length album by Belgian Heavy Metal band.
Known for their theatrical performances, this is an 80's sounding Heavy/Speed Metal band! Belgium's Witchsmeller Pursuivant takes their name from the BBC series "Black Adder" and has created a killer album of pure old school Heavy Metal. Sounding more like an album released in the 80's than it does a recent release, "Manifest Of Evil" is eight tracks of balls to the wall Metal that just kills from beginning to end. Kind of a hard band to describe, but its close if to call it a Speed Metal version of Mercyful Fate, but an even closer sound would be Martyr ("For The Universe"), with good hooks and choruses.
This is Metal without the frills and trends that have ruined so much in the Metal world. Luciver's vocals are strong and are perfectly suited to fit in with the riffs being played by the guitar duo of Paul Evrard and Johan Kall. Providing a strong backdrop for their solos are Geezer Mike on bass and Luc Geenen on drums. Instead of being placed in the background, the bass and drums on this album are mixed at the perfect level and are every bit as outstanding as the rest of the band. Listening to "Manifest Of Evil" is like stepping back in time. This is another good release from Shiver Records and it's recommend out!!

The only compilation album by cult Finnish Heavy/Doom Metal band.
The oldest Finnish school occult, dusty proto-Doom and vintage Heavy Metal. A collection of materials recorded in the latest decade. 
Includes members of Devil Lee Rot, Pagan Rites, Evoked, Curse, Slughator, Evil Angel.
Witchtiger have built up a mysterious aura in all the stuff they have churned out thus far. Perhaps one of the reasons for that is, all of their material has only been available in ridiculously limited quantities.
Let your imagination wander back to the 70s and 80s world of underground Doom and Heavy Metal, and you will be able to dig up plenty of comparisons to Witchtiger.
This is a great compilation album of some of Witchtiger's past and (nearly) current material. You should seriously consider checking it out, if you're a fan of oldschool Doom Metal!

The debut full-length album by Italian Groove Metal band.
With All The Rage contains in the name the deeper meaning of grudge fed by the guys towards Sicily, a land stained by the conspiracy of silence and bigotry: anger. And the "anger" characterizes the With All The Rage's sound, where a good mix of Northern European Metalcore and robust American Thrash Metal meets an open-minded melody and a solid Groove.
The talented Italians have put their blood, sweat, and tears on this record to feed your Groove hungry ears. The Groove elements shine through like freshly discovered emerald, and the Metalcore elements added here do not halt this release from sounding fresh and entertaining. Guitar work for example varies and switches nicely between the two halves of the albums. Drum work is done really, not too fast, not too slow for a Groove Metal album.
“Plug In Your Ass” is the perfect example for this album’s main sound. The guitars and bass here are pretty amazing and go hand in hand like warriors on the battlefield, due to how audible the bass is, and how the guitars are very catchy, melodic, aggressive, and memorable. Tracks like “Who Killed My Dog?” also differ with their straightforward mosh-inviting attitude. These two tracks should basically summarize the album’s overall sound.
With All The Rage have done their best and this release is definitely great. It has proved to be highly entertaining, musically prominent compared to other Groove Metal releases, and with proper recording and support, this band will shine like ancient mythril! So give this a chance, and enjoy!!

The second full-length album by russian Stoner/Doom Metal band.
New wave of Stoner Rock/Metal. The new album from Without God is just as impressive as the others. Hypnotizing, strolling guitars, clean and somewhat yelling vocals, melancholic rhythm, smelling like weed… “Circus Of Freaks” is slower than typical album of this genre. Slow and heavy riffs. But this doesn't change much, really – the second album by these Russians’ is just a cliché of a genre. Psychotropic influence is obligatory when listening to such music live!)

The third full-length album by Swedish Dark Progressive Metal/Rock band.
"Still" finds Wolverine moving into Progressive Rock territory but still managing to capture some of the aggression of their past two albums.
The album has an eclectic feel, merging perfect genre influences together in an original form that only a band of Wolverine's caliber could manage. You can hear Dream Theater era "Awake" in a lot of the keyboard work (note the outro to "She Slowly Dies" or the keyboard intensity of "This Cold Heart of Mine"), Porcupine Tree harmonies ("Taste of Sand") …and Pink Floyd… all over the disc. The riff that kicks “A House of Plague” off is the best riff Opeth never wrote. The melancholic sense of despair is pure Anathema, though, with a sense of dark urgency they haven't been able to match since "Eternity".
The album is desperate and quiet with the Rhodes keyboard tones of "Nothing More” and aggressive and belligerent with its riffs in "Liar on the Mount", which overcomes the handicap of featuring the worst moment of the record, a vocal sample George W Bush. The pulsing electronic groove of "Sleepy Town" helps make the second half of the disc even stronger than the first, closing with the powerful "This Cold Heart of Mine" with its driving keyboard atmosphere, and the epic “And She Slowly Dies” which has one of the most powerful choruses written by a Prog band in recent memory.
Stefan Zell is one of the most compelling vocalists in the business right now. His ability to draw emotion from each word he sings pulls the listener deeper into the song, going beyond great riffs and technical chops. Zell, compared to previous albums, sounds like he has just gotten better and better; "Still" being his unofficial coming out party into the world of top Metal vocalists.
If you're into "Awake" era Dream Theater, mid era Anathema ("Eternity", "Alternative 4") and newer Porcupine Tree, this album is perfect for you! Dark, brooding and reflective with an intense edge, Wolverine has managed to create a masterpiece of modern Progressive Metal, in the truest sense of the genre label!!

The debut full-length album by Spanish Atmospheric Doom/Death Metal band.
In "Deception Through Your Lies" musicians move towards enrichment of Atmospheric Doom Death Metal by different techniques and methods, making the composition diverse and rich. Heavy but melancholic music filled with endless melody will appeal to anyone who appreciates not only the outer side of Doom Death Metal consisting of catchy riffs and dense guitar sound, but also its sensual side awakening thoughts and feelings.
Culling very heavily from the Scandinavian and British Doom scene of yore, Womb has a distinctly Finnish sound; long songs with crunchy guitars, super deep growls and layers of rending melodies over patient, plodding riffs and a light gloss of pianos and cellos.
Opener “Echoes of Our Scars” pretty well capture’s the band’s sullen mope perfectly with a delicate piano tinkle amid some lethargic crumbling and a little acoustic break and mood shift about 5 minutes in that’s very well done. “Ends” and closer “Forgotten By her Bliss” ( the band is dialed into the depressive theme as well as the sound as you can see from the song titles) all deliver some top notch, really despondent melodies that compete with anything from their peers as far as getting you right in the feels. But it’s not a complete drone fest as third track, “March” even has a more uptempo, but still rending burst and “Equisdistant” adds a bit of a mid paced chug towards it climax.
The atmospheric moments are short and sweet by way of either a piano, under started clean female vocals (“March”) or short acoustic bridge. So in all an pretty damn solid example for the genre, and one we'll look forward to hearing more off!

The third full-length studio album by Brazilian Thrash Metal band.
New longplay from Brazilian Thrashers overflowing energy & classic Thrash Metal with enough high vocals and fast tempo songs. On "A Near Life Experience" is no place for sentiment and uncertainty, all short and exclusively in the case. The lyrical component, as it was before, is devoted to such topics as death, pain, war and not only.
For almost 20 years of artistic career, Woslom earned many fans' love not only at home. And with the release of fresh plates, popularity of the band will increase on the continent.
In general, "A Near Life Experience" turned out to be a fairly standard studio work for the genre, but it is at the highest level, that is sure to be appreciated by fans of the style. Pleasant listening!

Official re-release of the second full-length album by Brazilian Thrash Metal band.
Brazilian Thrash Metal masterminds of Woslom, assumingly well educated in their society’s evolution process, share their pains and doctrines with their sophomore distribution of “Evolustruction”. Packed with diverse views, band sought to establish their own version of Thrash Metal, delivering comprehensive material, which might be influenced by North American Bay Area, particularly Megadeth, Testament and Metallica.
Fortunately that Woslom took upon themselves the decision of not attempting to patch old wounds (what can we say Sepultura as one of Brazilian leading Thrash bands lost itself after 1991 or just like Metallica when it lost its marbles after 1990), but to head out and achieve something different. With “Evolustruction” you'll sense an old hunger and conviction that eventually formulated their chosen path. Letting an artistic nature to plunge in, in favor of yet another piece of Thrash memorability, Woslom’s songwriting appeared to be smeared with nonconformity towards the old genre, paralleling features of both old and new school Thrash that resulted in considerably ambiguous song structures, creative riffery, exceptional lead guitar work, carving with harmonies and incredible soloing and a pulsating flair of rhythmic compositions. By all means, with their progressivism, Woslom still maintained a bewildered Thrash imagery as bashing skulls is still a part of the deal.
The album follows the idea that there are always choices to make in life and that one has to constantly decide between good choices and bad choices. Given the experience the band was able to accumulate, they promised to break all the rules! Fast and aggressive guitar riffs are the main ingredient in this Thrash Metal masterpiece. The fierce attacks of “No Last Chance”, “Breathless (Justice's Fall)” and “Evolustruction” (better his extended version at number 10), it might wasn’t the truest form of Thrash as it is widely known, but it had a reek of freshness, clever diversity and enough brutality to go around. “New Faith” recapped the old wrath fling of old Thrash Metal into ignition along with the band’s inventive antics. Furthermore, right before ending this chapter, the “Evolustruction” sound engineering provided the album with the rightful character, maintaining the old Thrash sound pattern yet with sharp and polished sound made by modern means, a great contribution for the album’s abilities to inspire while listening. In a nutshell, Woslom produced a fine revelation, clutching Thrash Metal and shaping it up to become more relevant!
For fans of Testament, Metallica and Megadeth!!

Official re-release of the debut full-length album by Brazilian Thrash Metal band.
Originally self-released in 2010, this is an album that doesn’t shy away from their Thrash foundations and really cooks some catchy and fun material with enough swagger and punch to work. While their sophomore effort went for an overall mid tempo Thrash sound, "Time To Rise" is a much faster and aggressive release. Not that there isn’t a bit of groove to be found throughout, but generally speaking there is a lot more ‘pep in the step’ of the Thrash contained on this release to be devoured. This is where Woslom really works their best and it’s the main portion of what’s being offered on this debut.
At times, these Brazilian Thrashers pull a bit from the early days of Thrash with their touches of melodic layering and general ambitious energy. “Checkmate” and “Power & Misery” have a slightly old school Metallica vibe to them with their winding structures and a bit of Megadeth in the snarling melodic vocals of the latter. From there the band builds on the classic Thrash sound with a slightly modernized style in the riff on the album title track or the slightly groove oriented notes on “The Deep Null”.
The truth remains that this debut is the best record so far from Woslom. It’s a catchy record with enough groove and melody to stick with the listener as a whole and enough Thrash punch and jabs to keep the moshing elite interested. Woslom is still a band that has yet to hit their full potential, but "Time To Rise" is definitely an album worth checking out for a Thrashing time!

Second full-length album by the Irish Sludge/Funeral Doom Metal band.
Wreck Of The Hesperus, five years after their devastating debut work, "The Sunken Threshold", present their second attempt. 
The first highlight that comes to the surface while listening to the album is its production, it' s cleaner this time, something that helps the instruments unfold everything they want to present in the most appropriate way, alone and in unity at the same time. And then all hell breaks loose with the slowly expanding riffing as it blends with floating minimal anti-melodies while the echoing percussion embraces the intense drumming and the colossal bass lines. They have an Industrial, Ambient edge but there is also hints of free-form Jazz and even cinematic soundtrack music but mostly this is raw, filthy Funeral Sludge that is ugly, angry and monotonous but it still keeps attention despite is repetitive bleakness.
They still sound like a very pissed-off Thergothon or a Doomed-out Burzum or Darkthrone but this album unleashes a complex array of emotions through Blackened Ambiance and raw, Sludgy Doom that is thicker than molasses syrup.
What makes Wreck Of The Hesperus a unique band in the Doom scene it is what they don't do and don't play that makes them great. Their silences, pauses, starts and stops really makes this album the engaging, tormented experience that it is. The music keeps you guessing and keeps you on the edge of insanity for all of its 40 minutes.
This album comes in an interesting package; it is presented in A5-cardboard sleeve containing four beautiful graphic art cards that represent each track on the album.
