The second full-length studio album by Japanese Symphonic Black Metal band.
It seems that 2013 has been a very important year for this elegiac Black Metallers from Tokyo. On 20th of February they released a re-recorded, rearranged, remixed and remastered edition of their debut full-length album "The Abyss Will Also Gaze Into Thee: Ricordo" and on September 20th they released their second album "Millendium". Ethereal Sin were formed back in 1997 by Yama Darkblaze and they have undergone countless line-up changes and several breaks. Anyway, 16 years after the band’s birth, its second full-length album is finally out!
If you have only listened to the original version of their debut album, you will be totally astonished by the overall improvement of the band in "Millendium"! But if you have checked the re-recorded version, which made the debut album almost unrecognizable, you would somehow be prepared. First of all their sound has nothing to do with the raw, almost “amateur” efforts of the past. The band has now great production, with a more polished sound, yet powerful and extreme. Their music is Epic Symphonic Melodic Black Metal with soprano female vocals and Black Metal screams.
“Millendium” contains 15 songs with a total duration over 57 minutes. The album has a very bombastic atmosphere, moving in fast tempo rhythms most of the time. The band has composed many wonderful melodies, with beautiful balance and interesting dialogues between Symphonic and Extreme Metal. Melodic riffs and lead guitars are combined with majestic symphonic synths and a wide variety of vocals. Morgan Le-Fay’s operatic vocals are quite dominant in their sound. Yama’s Black Metal screams are still influenced by Cradle of Filth, but he is improved very much compared to the first album and he has now a much more personal style. The band also uses choirs and clean vocals, as well as a few more quiet atmospheric passages, making the whole result much more interesting. "Millendium" is a concept album, dealing with a war that ended an ancient Kingdom that prospered for a thousand years, thus the album title “end + millennium”. Their lyrics are in English with a few verses in Latin and Japanese, all available in the CD booklet.
Ethereal Sin made a really impressive comeback in 2013. "Millendium" recommended to fans of epic Symphonic Extreme Metal. Released by Red Rivet Records and Yama’s own label Evoken de Valhall Production, with 12-page booklet designed by Yama himself.
CD comes with OBI strip.

The ninth full-length studio album by the legendary Swedish Hard Rock band.
This album of Swedish Soft Metal veterans finds Europe singing the Blues. Big, beefy, melodic, and bristling with '70s riffage and croaking Hammond B-3 swells, "Bag Of Bones" revels in Hard Rock clichés, but does so with enough energy and attitude to warrant more than a cursory listen. The Led Zeppelin aping, as has been the case in the years since they achieved Stadium Rock sainthood with "The Final Countdown", is still in full effect, especially on "Drink and a Smile", but at least they've got it down to a science. Caught somewhere between "Badmotorfinger"-era Soundgarden, early Deep Purple, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, "Bag Of Bones" offers up some gems in the blistering Europe's debt crisis: opener "Riches to Rags", the Neo-Prog-Pop of "Firebox", and the Bad Company-meets-Cinderella balladry of the moody title cut.
The whole band shines thanks to Kevin Shirley’s devastating production job, but the emphasis is surely on the twin stars of Joey Tempest and John Norum who turn in performances that are simply stunning from start to finish. "Bag Of bones" is a stunning, adrenalin charged, emotional and sexy forty minutes of Classic Hard Rock album. Better, miraculously, than the quite excellent "Last Look At Eden", there is no disputing that Europe are on the form of their lives and, perhaps with the exception of Black Country Communion, there is not a similarly themed band who can touch them at this point in time!
Cherish this album because it has one quality that so few modern bands lack – integrity. Europe have lived larger than life, seen the highs and lows of enduring fame and weathered the storms of fickle fortune to emerge wiser, stronger and better than ever with an album that is not only a career high but also a strong contender for Rock album of the year!!
"Bag Of Bones" is the first Europe album to chart in UK Top 100 Albums since "Prisoners In Paradise" in 1991 and also entered in UK Top 40 Rock Albums at number 3.

The tenth full-length studio album by the legendary Swedish Hard Rock band.
Keeping roughly the same lineup for almost 29 years, 2015 saw the band's 10th album and first under UDR Records. Whereas the past two albums were rather mellow in comparison, the new release has seen them come back heavier, more technical and, essentially, bigger.
The Northern Kings of Hard Rock wage a war in the title track, opening the album. Cutting through with a heavy, driving, bass-driven riff, it promises to deliver the more Metallic vibes that the 'heavier' fans have been waiting to return since "Secret Society". As one could expect, the songwriting is spectacular; great thought obviously being put into choosing this piece as the album's first shot fired. Joey Tempest's indomitable vocal talent shows no audible signs of aging. Similarly displayed in the feel-good "The Second Day", a mid-paced AOR-like track that capitalizes on its catchiness, the instrumentation lightly arranged to thicken the chorus and dissipate, adding breeze and flow to the verses; but then, if you would like to remind yourself of how Europe performs those killer, enormous, Euro-style choruses, this is the track to turn to.
"Praise You" is the transition from a thick, groovy, almost Stoner-like intro riff to a lilting, Bluesy and Spacey series of verses is both jarring and relaxing; a strangely functional juxtaposition. This track also contains one of the album's best choruses and the best example of songwriting on the album; the sonic 'sweet-spot', if you will, where glorious riffs and powerful vocals intersect.
"Children of the Mind" also deserves to be boldly highlighted; easily one of the more Metallic tracks, it's riffs a powerful mix of technicality, groove and catchiness. Joey's voice also takes leaps and bounds, holding powerful notes long and high.
"Angels (With Broken Hearts)" is the 'lighter-raiser' of the album. The slowest track, and arguably the quietest, minimalism is used to sublime and seminal effect; lyrically prominent, with melodies guitars and keyboards used to colorful and emotive effect.
This is definitely Europe's strongest record in years. Normally gravitating to the more technical and 'ridiculous' of the Metal universe. Not only a tremendous release for the Metal and Hard Rock world, but a testament to the band's career, and an excellent, explosive start to the year!!

Re-recorded edition of the debut full-length album by Finnish Melodic Dark Metal band.
Good piece of Melodic Blackened Death Metal with keyboards and a strong Swedish influence. Still, there's quite a few doomy melodies in several songs, and the anguished black vocals contribute for such an atmosphere as well; plus, the last track, "Equinox Nocturne", is indeed black/doom (even though it also includes some clean vocals).
 Album includes prominent guests and session members, such as drummer Jaska Raatikainen (Children of Bodom), Mika Lindberg (Cradle of Filth), A. Kippo (famous producer) and others.
 CD comes with absolutely Made new cover and artwork + includes cover song “We Rock” of DIO.

The second full-length album by Italian Progressive Power Metal band.
Event Horizon's first official release is not one-dimensional. Band came to life in 1996, releasing their independent debut "Year: Zero" about six years later. Event Horizon's music on "Naked On The Black Floor" could be described as a mix of Evergrey's haunting and brutal guitar riffs, angry vocals which occasionally tend to overstep the limits of its range, and dark synth textures that recall another underrated Italian band, Lifend.
Gianluca Girardi is a very ambitious singer, opting for cool melodic lines on "Again", a song whose keyboard intro is almost identical to the Turkish Pop-Rock band Mor ve Otesi's radio hit "Bir Derdim Var". The churning guitar chords on it seem like they were inspired by Evergrey's non-Prog side; while "Bited" is more in the conventional Power Metal mould with great drumming.
The best songs on the album are the Prog-tinged "The Road to Myself", bringing forth bass player Mauro Boggioni's finger-picked solo and an overdubbed twin guitar harmony. Lots of changing tempos and odd-timed meters are woven into the mix, as swells of key melodies circulate in the background. "Fragments of Insanity" follows in a similar fashion, with emphasized synths and a powerful rhythmic syncopation on top of it. Perhaps the most complex number on the album, this track displays Event Horizon's perfect blend of Prog-infused melodic Metal with a deeply atmospheric undertone. Strangely, it's the songs with great bass grooves. The slap bass solo on the song is actually one of the finest parts on the album. This song isn't as heavy as the previous cut, but has several sections where mathematical guitars and electronic synth effects duel creatively. "Zero" is very abstract because of its programmed drum beats in the intro; while last track "The Wall" is the most experimental and synth-driven work, with Chroma Key type of keyboard orchestrations and dark yet clean vocals.
Bottom line, this is a good album!

Debut full-length album by Italian Progressive Melodic Death Metal band.
Cleanly produced and full of solos, the music here is melodic but also heavy, sounding like a mix between At The Gates and The Crown. This isn't quite Prog Jazz or makes as much of a diverse statement as other Prog Death Metal bands like Cynic or Opeth, but it definitely holds its own.
After a ticking clock heard on "Intro," the band just tears into "Departing Of Time." It is a very fluid track that seamlessly just takes right off and blends so many riffs together for a bit of a haphazard, but enjoyable ride. The solos are melodic and don't ruin the pace or sound of the riffs, and drums bounce between just a full machine gun onslaught and nicely paused, even sections. Even the vocals- which hold a mid paced snarl- fit the music quite well. Other tracks like "Revenge" are a bit more 'Prog set' on the drumming side as there is one section where the music quiets down and just the drums hit these rather repetitive beats over and over, but the effect is excellent. "Tear Down The Sky" slows things down a bit for a bit of clean singing and more single string moments rather than just full on cohesive chugging and churning from the guitars. It is a slower track but definitely doesn't come off as being a ballad as it switches between soft and heavier moments- this is definitely more Opeth-esque. The closing "Immortal Creed" follows a similar style that is even softer, at least on the vocal front, but the music is still energetic and doesn't lose any of its pace. For those who are looking for a track that just tears everything apart and refuses to let up as far as the pace goes, "Be Your Own God" is one of the faster offerings on the album, touching on a speed similar to how Vader would perform their music, though with more technical beauty and a bit more melody.
Overall, for a debut this album is well done in production alone, and jumps from track to track without an issue. Everything feels like it should be in its place!

The fourth full-length album by the German Gothic Metal band.
After almost more than two years of silence, the band begins to look forward to a new concept; they find themselves some suitable stage names, add a new vocalist, sign with Massacre Records and of course release a new album entitled “E-mania”, a new beginning in every way!
Whereas the bands first two albums offered creative Symphonic Doom/Death Metal with tons of other genres molded into the bands epic soundscape, “E-mania” takes on a more futuristic approach of Cyber Gothic Metal with emphasis on various atmospheres that aren’t too east to digest. It’s the same road Paradise Lost has undertaken on their last four releases; the main difference is that Evereve don’t forget the heavy guitars and up-tempo paces. The melodic guitars from the early days also have a modern approach to them through different sound filters but the trademark lead guitars haven’t gone out of sight, so phew!
Experimentation with different clean guitar and keyboard sounds is ever present on “E-mania”. This experimentation is rather useful and generates all kinds of atmospheres ranging from blunt schizophrenia (“This Is Not...”), gothic dance floor heat (“K.M. Most Terrible God”), to more hard-hitting themes like sadistic love (“Suzanne”) and bitterness (“T.o O.ur D.enial”). The new vocalist fits well with the new concept. He reminds of Fernando Ribeiro (Moonspell) at some points, he has the same low-accent-creepy voice.
“E-mania” shows a band that’s back on track and willing to experiment and invent. They really pulled themselves together and explored their options.
By the way, the album has 51 tracks and lasts for 51 minutes and 51 seconds (if you include the hidden tracks), wait a second, and 3x5+1=666 - the number of the beast! Fun, very fun!!

Power and Thrash Metal… the perfect package! “Tears On The Face Of God” is an outstanding offering. The album is very serious and concentrated on delivering a formula that has been obviously worked really hard on. You can easily capture the image the band wants to send in an instant… a very heavy and inspired one by all means. Tracks like “Prophet of Peace”, filled with the ferocious and great approach towards Thrash, set you in the proper mood to enjoy something “Tears On The Face Of God”. The album is very diverse and heavy approach towards Thrash Metal with Power Metal elements, scattered everywhere to induce a unique and different feeling, than most albums in these two genres.

The third full-length studio album by Italian Progressive Power/Thrash Metal band.
When Thrash and Power meet, you get a level of speed and strength match by very few. Eversin are a band that brings a high level of riffs to the table to march an army to war with, and the speed needed to win each battle on your way. This is a band that incorporates the heavy speed of Thrash Metal, melodicness of Power Metal, and vocals of both.
"Trinity: The Annihilation" is the most violent and powerful output ever released by the band. The title comes from the code name of the first detonation of a nuclear weapon USA did in the Jornada del Muerto desert in New Mexico on July 16th, 1945 and the sound recall that detonation like a monolith, as devastating and massive as a Panzer tank; a breathless ride that will lead you on a journey through past and present battlefields.
Solid release that worth checking out if you're a Thrash Metal fan. Fans of Slayer, Annihilator, Death Angel, Testament find here a pure sonorous massacre across epicity and power!

Debut full-length album by the Melodic Heavy Metal band from Portugal.
The long and technical guitar solos are there, melody is a constant parameter, the voice a typical Heavy Metal one (not distorted, grunted or whatever). This release appeared in the best time, since the scene (specially the international one) is with their eyes put on the revivalism - Power and Heavy metal, granting EVIDENCE's a little bit more exposure and opportunity to show their potential. Roadie Crew (10/10), Progression Magazine (10/10), German Rock (9,5/10)
If you really enjoy a good Heavy Metal album, don't be afraid to put your ears on EVIDENCE, because they're good at what they're doing (and they know it) - you won't regret it!

Debut full-length album by French Black Metal band.
Underground executioners Evil Eruption return from their ashes with this volcanic album in old school vein of True Black Metal. Band members have no name, no face... Just Evil!
Evil Eruption is a band which began its journey since 1996, in 1999 split up without having released anything. In 2004 they decide to re-form the band and they are active until today while they have released two demos and one split.
Already by the first track of the debut full-length album, you understand that you are going to listen to fast, European Black Metal with dark, very commanding atmosphere, mid paced passages full of power and hyper speed outbursts. The riffs mainly are fast tremolo ones, while several times we come across to also fast, dark, dirty riffs and a few Thrashy ones. They are very interesting and they deliver the feelings and the atmosphere very easily and schematically. The good structure and the talent of the band regarding composing the tracks, have made them very interesting in an overall aspect, changing from warlike, destructive fast Black Metal to solid, atmospheric and fast Thrashy.
The guitars are the dominant instrument delivering every note with absolute accuracy but at the same time with passion and energy. The bass is audible, but you have to make an effort to distinguish its lines that they are quite technical and they fill the sound very well. The vocals in the bigger part of the album are harsh Black Metal vocals which are changed though depending on the atmosphere and the feeling of each moment. With their expressiveness and their passion, they make the compositions even more impressing and interesting. Drums have very interesting lines with stormy outbursts, beautiful turnings and powerful passages. The production is good putting out a warm and bass sound which fits to the style of the compositions.
The work that the band has done in this album is impressing and anyone can understand that here we have one of the best releases of 2014. If you haven’t understood until now by the description, the album is so good that every Black Metal fan must listen to it! Buy it!!

The debut full-length album by Polish Thrash/Death Metal band.
Evil Machine is created by non-random crewmembers from and old, Metal Guard: Hal (Vader), Cyjan (Dead Infection), Cyprian (Conquest Icon) of finally possessed by hell Seba Semihazah. On the recording session appeared also some well-known guests from Christ Aony, Behemoth and Vader! That smelling with hell’s stench album contains of ten destroying everything old-sounding compositions - 43 minutes of rotten sounded Death Metal with Thrash and Doom elements and the stale, old-fashioned atmosphere!!
There are a lot of memories from 80’s here: echoes of Celtic Frost, Hellhammer, old Kreator, Poison, Venom or Sodom. Gentlemen don’t try to be original, but they play what’s in their heart, and as they’re old veterans, so they’re totally into old Metal classics. Also surprising is very archaic, dirty sound. Material was recorded in different studios, but for the final mix in went to Hertz Studio, which is known from clear, sterile sounding productions. This time material haven’t been marked with this stigma and kept dirty, basement sound. In the semi moment it sounds very selective.
It’s also worth mentioning, that next to the author’s songs of band there are two marvelously played covers. First one is “Power From Hell” by Onslaught with total vocals of Peter (Vader), and second one, “Die Hard”, comes from repertoire of NWOBHM gods Venom. And also here band reduced to dust everything that’s holy.
Evil Machine released ass-kicking debut. Including members of Vader (Peter), Behemoth (Seth), Christ Agony (Cezar), ex- Hate (Cyprian Konador) and Dead Infection (Cyjan), this album will pleased all fans of old school Black/Death/Doom Metal, especially fans of Hellhammer and old Celtic Frost!!

The fifth full-length studio album by Swedish-Dutch Melodic Heavy/Power Metal band.
Evil Masquerade is a Scandinavian band founded 2003 in Copenhagen by Swedish guitarist Henrik Flyman (Lacrimosa, ex-Wuthering Heights, ex-Moahni Moahna, ex-ZooL). Together with drummer Dennis Buhl (ex-Hatesphere), bass player Kasper Gram and vocalist Henrik Brockmann (ex-Royal Hunt) they set off to record the band's debut album that was released early 2004 under the name "Welcome To The Show". It almost immediately received worldwide recognition and made the charts in Japan at # 8. One year later, it was followed up with their second album, "Theatrical Madness".
A new singer Apollo Papathanasio (Spiritual Beggars, ex-Firewind, ex-Time Requiem) and bass player Thor Jeppesen entered the studio with Flyman and Buhl to record the album "Third Act". This album took the band to a new level of fame when it was re-released in 2007 in the USA, one year after the original release in Europe and Asia. The fourth studio album "Fade To Black" saw yet another change in the line-up, with only Henrik Flyman and Apollo Papathanasio remaining from the previous album. New members were drummer Daniel Flores (The Murder Of My Sweet, Mind’s Eye, Tears Of Anger, ZooL) and bass player Johan Niemann (Therion, Evergrey, Hubi Meisel, Demonoid, Mind’s Eye).
Flyman spent 2010 composing songs for the band's fifth album "Pentagram" that was released in May 2012. The recordings took place during 2011 and involved Flyman once again teaming up with the same members as on the band's third release: Papathanasio, Buhl and Jeppesen; together with the latest addition to the line-up, the band's first permanent keyboard player, Artur Meinild.
Songwriting and performances on "Pentagram" are significantly different from the prior albums. More specifically, the first few albums carried a melodic Euro Metal style, with Progressive hints and some Neoclassical influences, but "Pentagram" is a monster throwback to the early classic era of Metal. You can hear a lot of Dio, Sabbath, Deep Purple and Rainbow in the songs. It’s a striking difference, but an excellent collection.
One of the many highlights are the vocals of Apollo. His warm, full voice and impassioned delivery really bring back memories of when the singer voice had distinct qualities and singing ability, not just screaming. The twelve track album runs just over 40 minutes and the tempo is mid paced, leaning towards the slow side. The simple, elegant song construction allows individual performances' room to breath. It’s not a busy record full of orchestras, sound effects and dense layers by any means, it has a real stripped back early Metal vibe. Instead of a hundred riffs, Flyman picks some good ones and bolsters the songs with good choruses that are not too sickly sweet.
"Pentagram" is a great album, full of excellent songs and fine performances from Apollo, who never fails to impress.
High-quality traditional Metal for fans of Dio, Black Sabbath and Rainbow!
