Album Of The Week – LOVEBITES – ‘Outstanding Power’
LOVEBITES are a band of hard rocking ladies from Japan, who push the envelope of musicianship just that bit further than you would expect if you're not familiar with them. __________
Album Of The Week – FROSTSHOCK – ‘Hibernation’s End’
This is fine, in your face, death/thrash from Germany. The songs are hand crafted to smash your face and beat you into submission. __________
Album Of The Week – ELLENDE – ‘Zerfall’
This is another top release of what is labelled Atmospheric Black Metal. It's different from that norm, with the use of strings and piano, I would label it almost avant-garde. These tunes have a way of working into your soul. __________
Album Of The Week – DARKTRIBE – ‘Forgotten Reveries’
This is good stuff. French band, progressive power metal, VERY well done. This is another one that came out of nowhere and yet I find myself putting it on again and again. Great, catchy, memorable songs performed well. __________
Album Of The Week – SKULL & CROSSBONES – ‘Time’
Every now and then, one new album stands out above the rest. So it is with SKULL & CROSSBONES. Musicianship is TOP NOTCH, vocals are EXCELLENT. The album is full of bangers, the songs stick in your head. You'll find yourself reaching for this album again and again. __________
Album Of The Week – OMNIUM GATHERUM – ‘May The Bridges We Burn Light The Way’
Seriously, what is in the water in Finland? So many top bands come out of there, it's just ridiculous. The latest top album to hit us is the latest from OMNIUM GATHERUM, 'May The Bridges We Burn Light The Way'. __________
