CD

The fourteenth full-length album by legendary German Thrash Metal band.
On their fourteenth platter, Sodom continue to deliver their battle-tested (and themed) Thrash lunacy. A good description of Sodom’s sound would be the clean sound of Ride The Lightning-era Metallica with the angriness of pre-1991 Megadeth. That’s simply a recipe for greatness. So, with "Epitome Of Torture", one can clearly say that this is Sodom in their most destructive, meanest, fastest and furious forms to date. 
Kicking off with a grand Thrash number, "My Final Bullet", the album gets a perfect start with a dulcet clean melody, which turns, into the main riff that a Thrash Metal fan will simply adore. The song is loaded with guitar harmonies and melodic sections, and at the same time delivers total no nonsense Thrash Metal with its cult up-tempo verse riff. The album enters into its mosh-prone zone with the tracks "S.O.D.O.M", "Epitome of Torture" and "Stigmatized". These songs are no doubt among the best works of Sodom. 
The album takes a very peculiar bounce with the track "Cannibal". It has a sort of melodic and groovy touch to it and the riffs are very progressive in nature. It’s a very different approach taken by Sodom, and certainly not a bad one. "Shoot Today Kill Tomorrow" and "Katjuschka" bring us back to pure Teutonic Thrash mode with the aggression-laden progressions that they offer throughout, whereas "Into The Skies Of War" gives us the 80’s Hard Rock sound with the brilliant guitar riffs that it offers. "Into The Skies Of War", being a radio-friendly track, offers us kickass main riff and a pretty catchy chorus. Tom seems to be at his best with simply awesome vocal delivery. From laying the words on the music to a tremendous voice texture to covering a good range, his performance has been ace. 
"Invokating The Demons" is a melodic track which carries a Heavy/Power Metal-ish essense and "Tracing The Victim" consists of low-tempo paced progressions which possess strong modern sounding melodic punches. 
The album has many dimensions; most of the tracks stick to the trademark Sodom sound, ending up being a treat for the fans while many tracks have something very new to offer. The highlight of this album is clearly the maniacal guitar work along with Thrash-style vocals that fit the music perfectly. This is an extremely guitar-oriented album, if there ever was one. Sodom is a band that have never been too proud or overconfident. They have always followed a pragmatic approach, and that is what makes them good! This is yet another slab of righteous, riotous Thrash Metal with tons of hooks, and it demands the horns be raised high in homage. And yes, those Germans are still around and are still releasing devastating stuff!!

The debut full-length album by Swedish Atmospheric Doom/Death Metal band.
Soijl is a special project established by Swedish multi-instrumentalist Mattias Svensson (Saturnus, Istapp, Vanmakt, Nidrike) many years ago. However, only in late 2014 the band started recording the official 3-song demo. The songs received positive response among fans of Doom music and the band continued to work with enthusiasm over the other tracks.
"Endless Elysian Fields" contains seven songs lasting for a total of about an hour and stylistically tending to Atmospheric Doom Death Metal. According to the band members, these are "7 tracks full of total despair and fear", as the lyrics of the album tell mostly about people with suicidal tendencies and what is going on in their heads.
In terms of Doom Metal this is huge praise for this fairly new band, this album contains everything a Doom album should have: aggression, sweeping melodies, obscurity and passion. Every song showcases this to the absolute best of their ability.
One of the best examples of this work is the track “Swan Song”; this aggressive yet majestic track seems very pertinent for the animal in the title since we all know swans are graceful yet vicious. This song contains sombre guitar riffs, mesmerising choirs and a dominant growl that does more than show us who is in control. Another great example is the concluding track “The Shattering”; it again demonstrates the elegant yet destructive music; it’s beautiful and majestic yet hard hitting.
SOIJL are further proof that aggressive and elegant can be used to describe something incredibly spectacular. A spellbinding masterpiece from an ingenious band that every Metalhead should listen to!!
The disc comes with a luxurious 20-page booklet.

The debut full-length studio album by Australian Progressive Metal/Rock band.
Solace In Exile show enormous potential, with their stylistic Progressive Metal and intricate musicianship shining through under the direction of bass guitarist and lead songwriter Mike Lambeth.

The sixth full-length studio album by cult Icelandic Post Metal band.
Sólstafir are not like any other band, and their sixth album underscores this statement.
As its title "a dreamer of forthcoming events" aptly describes, the four Icelanders have taken their already impressive evolution one step further. The band has continued to amalgamate haunting melodies, Psychedelic phases, as well as strong undercurrents of Classic Rock and Hard Rock with echoes of their Metal past.
Yet Sólstafir's focus is not on style but pure emotion. "Berdreyminn" is eclectic by a conscious choice to make feelings audible and transform taste as well as texture to sound. Genre borders are not broken, but simply ignored. Musical influences are gathered from a wide range of sources, re-arranged, and woven into new patterns.
Melancholy, longing, anger, joy, pleasure, pain, and other emotions are fuelling & fulling this album.

The seventh full-length studio album by cult Icelandic Post Metal band.
Music will always be inspired by the environment in which it is created. With its incredible array of highly diverse landscapes ranging from white glaciers via volcanic bizarreness, moss-green bubble-fields, deep fjords, and frost-cracked mountains to black beaches, Iceland has shaped a host of astonishingly original in Sólstafir.
More than ever, "Endless Twilight Of Codependent Love" highlights the contrasting influences that have inspired the band over the years. Whether you’re listening to the Black Metal infused “Dionysus”, “Her Fall From Grace”, the gracious song “Til Modar” or a straightforward masterpiece “Akkeri”, the Icelanders have mastered all these elements and blended it seamlessly into one record.
Sólstafir music penetrates the mind, body, and soul. One does not need to speak their Icelandic tongue to understand the spectrum of raw emotion evoked by every song. "Endless Twilight Of Codependent Love" further solidifies the Icelandic Rock giants’ place as masters of their craft, delivering their signature elegance and unbridled passion upon which they've built their career. While a clear evolution, Sólstafir also pays homage to their Metallic roots. Much like the vast expanse of their homeland, the band once again embodies the ever-turning wheel of the four seasons with their shifting light and darkness.
Metal Hammer named "Endless Twilight Of Codependent Love" the 34th best Metal album of 2020.
CD comes with 20-page booklet, housed in nice digipak.

The eighth full-length album by the cult Finnish Power Metal band.
Sonata Arctica going back to something a little more similar to their earlier material. Band returns to the polished and emotional Melodic Metal that originally forged its reputation.
Frontman Tony Kakko is at his Freddie Mercury-like best with grand harmony vocals on “Take One Breath”, and channels Styx crashing an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical on “Blood”. New bass player Pasi Kauppinen delivers a variety of authoritative grooves on “Half a Marathon Man”, which encapsulates the band’s wild yet structured creativity.
There’s beauty, hope, and tragedy aplenty here. If you never tire of twinkling keyboards and European fantasies gone sideways, you’ll embrace "Pariah’s Child"! No hook, no sinker, no line: a surprisingly catchy and delightfully quirky album!!

The fifth full-length studio album by Swedish Alternative Rock/Metalcore band.
It is the first album by the band to not feature former members Richard and Roger Sjunnesson. The album features guest appearance from Björn "Speed" Strid of Soilwork on the track "Before You Finally Break", marking as the first time the band has collaborated with another artist on a studio album. It's also the final album to feature long-time bassist Karin Axelsson.
"Day of the Dead" opens the album with a strong combination of MeloDeath and Metalcore, a la In Flames/Soilwork; an appealing display of heavy, yet melodic riffs and a blistering vocal delivery by Nathan, who now handles both clean and coarse vocals in the band. Richard's iconic screams may no longer be present, but Nathan does not disappoint, with gravitational low-end growls. Contrastingly, his cleans are powerful and anthemic, with songs further down the track list with much more imaginative chorus lyrics to display this. "Black Hole Halo" is one such track. It is a remarkably strong piece that is representative of the band's new-found aggression and focus on riff-orientated music; additionally, the vocals are absolutely stellar, with a catchy chorus that will surely resonate.
"Before you Finally Break" is the album's crowning glory. It is easily one of the heaviest tracks the band has ever written, with a remarkable melding of speed and aggression with compounding grooves. The centerpiece of this track, however, is the inclusion of guest vocalist Bjorn "Speed" Strid of Soilwork, who offers up both clean and coarse vocals. He and Nathan share an incredibly synergy on this track, delivering an intense and emotional chorus together.
"The Flame that Changed the World" is a surprisingly mature track, with a strong and meaningful synthesizer presence, that add a convincing 'Sci-Fi' atmosphere. Retain a strong In Flames influence in the riffs, the chorus is one of the best found on the album.
Sonic Syndicate have put together an excellent album that tries to meld aggression and melody without too much outside modern- trend influences.
This album sees the band pay homage to their roots while looking forward to the future. Sweden-Metal-lovers get their money’s worth with some more brilliant songs by Sonic Syndicate!
Limited digipack features three bonus tracks!

Debut full-length solo-album by Canadian Melodic Hard Rock guitarist.
Canadian guitarist Erol Sora has played with former members of Black Sabbath, Foghat, Survivor and Quiet Riot. But he best known as the longtime axeman for ex-Uriah Heep singer John Lawton’s solo band. However, the band was put on hiatus in 2004, and Sora subsequently found the time to put together a solo record of his own. Erol Sora was obviously born in the wrong year because his age looks about 30 while he sounds like that's how many years ago he should've been making music. There is for sure no one out there in this day and age making music of this sound without having been born around 1960.
Erol totally rocks throughout the entire album, kicking it strictly old school. His influences clearly range from Blue Oyster Cult to Led Zeppelin to Bad Company. 
“Demented Honour” is chock-full of hearty, well-written Melodic Rock anthems. Sora himself penned all the songs, played all the guitars, and (gasp!) sung all the vocals. Yes, “Demented Honour” marks Sora’s debut as a lead singer, and boy, does he ever have some decent pipes. He has a very smooth, AOR-ish voice that flows beautifully from melody to melody. As showcased in the John Lawton Band, Sora’s guitar playing isn’t too shabby, either. He plays everything from high-speed Arena Rock to slower blues rhythms on “Demented Honour”, filling out each song with a virtuoso solo.
The production on the album is spot-on. All instruments are audible (and well-played…Sora sought out the top studio musicians in Vancouver for this release) and Sora’s guitar tone is fluid and meaty. Since the majority of the songs on “Demented Honour” are just good ol’ Rock‘n’Roll and not particularly complex, the excellent production certainly helps to the songs sounding professional.
Every song on “Demented Honour” is a winner. It’s incredibly rare for a musician to nail all ten of his songs on a solo album, but Mr. Sora managed it.
His sound pretty much goes through all the classic Rock favorites.
If only Erol had been making music in the 70's or 80's then he would have been selling out arenas. Then they would have slumped in the early 90's and would be doing big reunion tours nowadays.
Recommended for fans of 80s Melodic Rock, Hard Rock or AOR! Really, it’s just a feel-good album!!

The second full-length studio album by Ukrainian Atmospheric Funeral Doom Metal one-man-band.
Max Molodtsov (from Edenian) demonstrates the rapid artistic development on this release of his solo-project. Each composition has its own unique sound and mood enhanced by appearance of guest vocalists, such as Kaivan Saraei (A Dream Of Poe), Daniel Neagoe (Clouds, Eye Of Solitude, Shape Of Despair), Evander Sinque (Who Dies In Siberian Slush, Decay Of Reality, Forbidden Shape), Vladislav Shahin (Mournful Gust, Autumnia), Daniel Arvidsson (Draconian, Mammoth Storm). A guest guitar solo in one of the tracks is performed by Vito Marchese (Novembers Doom, The Kahless Clone).
This is a delightfully depressing affair. Cold winds blow on a frozen landscape of grey as far as the eye can see. What stands out on the album is the varied vocal technique. Most bring a level of pain and anguish that haven’t been felt before, and are the perfect accompaniment to the music. This album will become a great gift for all Doom/Death Metal fans!

The debut full-length album by Swedish Death/Doom Metal band.
Debut album of this young band presents music influenced by old school Doom Metal from Candlemass to early My Dying Bride and Anathema albums.
After release of several tracks at the split album, the musicians carefully crafted the concept of the first full-length work. Moving away from literal copying the classics of the genre, "In The Rainfall" is an example of old school Doom/Death Metal with a modern sound and presentation.
Death Metal is more dominant between these two genres, but the bright accents of Doom do not allow us to forget that this is miserable music, at various points – the title, lyrics, mood, perhaps the nostalgia, because the band was formed in Mexico, but now they reside in Sweden. Also the music maintains composure, the sound of an older Death Metal that is reserved in mainly Latin American countries, is of quite high quality.
A heavy, guitar-based, uncompromising album for fans of primordial Doom Death Metal!

Soul Rape have the great taste in every of their songs in this album, magnificent and very elegant. A concept of progressive that alluring in the brain as well as recall.
The power of Progressive Death Metal of them, lies on the density and balance of melodies and touches of Traditional Heavy Metal that very memorable. But their music also gives the shock of anger, rebelled and full of grim, which is very easy to find in some parts in each song.
"Endless Reign" not only gives the impression that it's special album, but more than that, band's music is really for the soul!

The music is just Death Metal in the vein of early Deicide,
it has a few twist (including clean vocals, similar to such early Doom bands
like Candlemass used) and some cool technical edges.
Overall it's a really good album, every song (excluding that tenth track)
has something great to offer; If you like Death Metal then it's really
recommended to you to buy as soon as possible, it's a very interesting work
from a very interesting band from Mexico.
