Arsis
Starve For The Devil
Nuclear Blast
40:44 – 10 Tracks
Arsis’ last album was one of my favorite of the decade, so they have a lot to live up to in my opinion… and they do deliver on this release… I think this release is a bit more thrash/melodic-ish than the last one (which was more black metal to me)… it’s still an awesome release, so intricate and complex, yet all catchy and fun to listen to.  Great crisp production and playing by all members really make this one shine.   http://www.myspace.com/arsis

Evacuate Chicago
Veracity
Rock Ridge
41:03 – 12 Tracks
This band is the “legit” side project of the main core three guys from Psychostick.  So yeah, this album basically sounds like most of the heavier, cool Psychostick stuff without all the joking around.  So it’s fairly mainstream metal that’s very catchy.  http://www.evacuatechicago.com/

Fear Factory
Mechanize
Candlelight
44:31 – 10 Tracks
By now I hope most people know the deal with Fear Factory… if not, here it is in a nutshell.  Dino didn’t want to do this or  that in the band and quit/got fired… the rest of the band went on and made an album or two, Dino did his own thing.  Dino and Burton didn’t like each other… then after a few years, they decided to like each other and Burton didn’t want to work with Christian or Ray anymore, but Dino wanted to get Fear Factory together… drama drama drama… Dino, Burton, Byron (newest member/bass player for FF) and Gene Hoglan started their own version of Fear Factory pissing off Christian and Ray in the process (who made a crappy record with a band called Arkaea)… well, after law suits and whatever, it seems as if Fear Factory 2.0 won out, as they record and release this album.   Boom.  And Gene Hoglan?  the atomic clock?  I think this is the best FF album since Demanufacture.  Heavy, catchy, melodic…. and the drumming is off the hook.    http://fearfactorymusic.com/ (apparently all legal matters haven’t been cleared up as there are a couple different “official” Fear Factory web sites out there)

Overkill
Ironbound
E1
57:48 – 10 Tracks
Holy crap, these guys just never let up…. one great album after another.   Great fast thrash… quality production, a new set of metal anthems… these guys sound just as good if not better than their 80’s heyday!   If you like Overkill of years past, you’ll like this album.  They know what they are good at, and they continue to deliver.  http://wreckingcrew.com/

Annotations Of An Autopsy
The Reign Of Darkness
Nuclear Blast
45:43 – 11 Tracks
Oooooo exciting!  Brutal Death metal… It’s nothing really groundbreaking or earthshattering… just a good quality brutal metal.  It leans on the technical side… i mean, the way these guys play so fast and heavy… it’s gotta be technical!!  http://www.myspace.com/annotationsofanautopsy

Dark Fortress
Ylem
Century Media
74:12 – 12 Tracks
Well, you got yourself a good classic Black Metal band/sound going on here.   As I was listening to this with Mike the other day, we were talking about how this is good meat and potatoes black metal, nothing really different than the norm… but then we had to change our minds as the CD played on.  They throw in some odd stuff, some meedley solos, some dark melodic passages… They seem to be a little in the Satyricon family of black metal… where it can get a little catchy in parts, but still stay dark and evil sounding like Immortal in parts as well.  Good stuff here!    http://www.myspace.com/darkfortress

The Kandidate
Until We Are Outnumbered
Napalm
32:42 – 10 Tracks
Kind of a grindy thrash band… from Denmark.  Overall, just some good meat and potato metal.  I feel a strong NYHC influence here as well.  http://www.myspace.com/thekandidate

Arkaik
Reflections Within Dissonance
Unique Leader
40:31 -10 Tracks
These are one of those bands that throw in everything including the kitchen sink.  Brutal, technical, fast, speedy death metal.  Yes, progressive too?  Catchy?  yup.  Yeah, this off the hook fast fast fast metal stuff is cool.  :)  http://www.myspace.com/arkaik

Devolved
Calculated
Unique Leader
50:00 – 13 Tracks
Well well well… we have a Fear Factory on steroids here!  Seems like a stepped up, Meshugized Fear Factory type thing happening here.  Quality fast industrialized thrashy metal.  Really, that’s about all I could describe this… Meshuggah-ized Fear Factory… (that’s the good FF and good Meshuggah too)  http://www.myspace.com/devolvedmetal

Holy crap… I can’t believe it’s already February!    And the mailbox of new stuff keeps getting refilled…

Priestess
Prior To The Fire
TeePee
46:39 – 11 Tracks
Pretty cool stoner metal… it’s heavier than their last one, and more technical… Catchy, rockin’ cool stoner metal.  http://www.myspace.com/priestess

Aeternam
Angel Horned
Metal Blade
44:06 – 10 Tracks
This is some pretty cool Blackened Thrash… As you may know, Mike and I are pretty big fans of this genre.  This band seems to have some cool fast catchy riffs, and what makes them different, is they have a bit of an “epic” feel to them with a pinch of middle east influence.  There’s a lot of stuff going on in this album, and it’s all good. http://www.myspace.com/aeternammetal

Amoral
Show Your Colors
Spinefarm
44:46 – 11 Tracks
This is kind of a technical thrash/rock/almost death… clean vocals, almost sound like Perry Farrell mixed with an early 90’s glam metal thing… but singing over some more or less standard metal with a proggy/technical tinge.   It’s like you think it’s going to be all heavy and thrashy, and it is, then it takes you back to almost being like a fast Winger song.  It’s actually something sort of different and unique… imagine that!  http://www.myspace.com/amoralweb

Orphaned Land
The Never Ending Way of ORwarriOR
Century Media
78:14 – 15 Tracks
There’s been a lot of buzz around this album lately… and upon hearing it… I guess it’s justified.   Generally this would be called Folk Metal.  But as you dig deeper, it’s almost like taking some Opeth, and mixing some middle eastern (the band is from Israel) stuff, and a bit more of the epic proggy/power metal.   It’s a very diverse album, some clean Pink Floyd-ey type singing then going into a sinister black metal vocal.   (this is what I mean about the Opeth thing)   Great, diverse recording…and yeah, a lot of long songs too..  http://www.orphaned-land.com/

Living Sacrifice
The Infinite Order
SolidState
47:00 – 12 Tracks
These guys were first and foremost one of the best, heaviest, Christian metal band around.  Whenever someone who wasn’t familiar with metal would say something like “oh, that’s all just devil music”… I always loved to pull this band out of my sleeve… hey, listen to this… hahaa.   Well, they’re back!!! and wow, are they ever back!!!  After seven years, and Andy Sneap behind the console, they have a very “brutal,” heavy album.  Just catchy, thrashy, fast, and heavy!   It’s almost like they spent the last seven years just waiting to unleash this album on us…  Some parts are just all out brutal, some parts, are a bit “pantera”   No matter what you compare it to… it’s a great album, and it’s nice to have them back.  http://www.myspace.com/livingsacrifice

Troll
Neo-Satanic Supremacy
Napalm
41:14 – 10 Tracks
How do you like the good epic Dimmu Borgir stuff?  You like it?  A lot?  Sweet!  You’ll love Troll!    They were originally formed back in 1992, and hung around til the early 2000’s and disbanded… the frontman, Lex Icon worked with Dimmu Borgir as the bass player from 96-99 and went on to Chrome Division as the drummer.  He’s also the main man from The Kovenant.  Well, I guess it was time to form the old school black metal band again… and they’re back to prove they deserve a place in the black metal world.  Well produced, fast, symphonic black metal… and as I said, it’s right up a Dimmu Borgir fan’s alley.    http://www.myspace.com/troll

Through The Eyes Of The Dead
Skepsis
Prosthetic Records
40:46 – 10 Tracks
You know what this band did?  They used to be one of those deathcore/brutalcore type bands… and a lot of bands have done this too… but it just seems to work for me… they just step it up and make it more brutal and heavier and I guess are more of a technical death metal band.  This new release just is so freakin’ fast and brutal, yet, still a bit of catchy and cohesiveness…  It just sounds like everyone is playing as fast as they can… It does get a little bit monotonous after a while… I don’t think I could listen to this brutal death metal (not core) all day, but when you hear it on the Mosh Pit every week for a while, you’ll thank me.   http://www.myspace.com/tteotd

Barn Burner
Bangers
Metal Blade
40:40 – 11 Tracks
What if Iron Maiden decided to turn themselves into a stoner metal band?  You might have Barn Burner.  The guitar riffs for a lot of the songs remind me a lot of Iron Maiden… but with a  stoner metal singer… you know, not quite as abrasive-ish as Clutch, but more of a clean vocal.  Decent catchy stuff.  http://www.myspace.com/theinfamousbarnburner

Aspera
Ripples
InsideOut
54:42 – 10 Tracks
It’s Prog Metal… it’s a bit on that Dream Theater (isn’t every true prog metal band?)  But a bit more on the “epic” side and not quite as metal throughout as some more recent prog metal bands like Redemption.  They do have some of the cool start stop metal stuff going on… but overall, it’s a lot of vocals and keyboards.  I’m sure as a whole it’s a lot better than just skimming through it pretty quick as I’m doing right now. (the truth is out!)    If you’re a fan of classic prog metal type stuff with keyboards and awesome vocals… you will like Aspera!   Good stuff for a debut album!   http://www.myspace.com/asperaofficial

Other Adds: A Hero A Fake, Free Reign

Fozzy
Chasing the Grail
Riot
65:07 – 12 Tracks
Another new release from what was supposed to be a one time release?  Or I’m remembering it wrong… anyway… this project has for the most part put out pretty catchy songs with a variety of heaviness and just good old rock songs.  Rich Ward has always been great at writing great, catchy  hard rock/metal songs.  This album is no different.  Some songs get really heavy, some are just good old Hard Rock.  Worthy of a listen!  http://www.fozzyrock.com/

Mnemic
Sons of the System
Nuclear Blast
52:28 – 11 Tracks
Usually a pretty good band here… the last album wasn’t so great… but they kind of have a bit of the Gothenburg sound going on, but heck, they’re from Denmark… it’s still the same area of the world… however, it’s a bit more melodic and industrial than the tr00 Gothenburg stuff.  Still has a good edge to it and nice and catchy!  http://www.mnemic.com/

Free Reign
Tragedy
Riot
19:12 – 5 Tracks
Interesting… this is a metal band featuring members of the Dallas Cowboys (Marc Colombo, Cory Procter and Leonard Davis)  Crazy, eh?  It’s a pretty standard metal, with some cool chugga chugga parts… However, for the most part, it’s just more or less a “solid rock” record with a few heavier leanings. http://www.myspace.com/freereign

A Hero A Fake
Let Oceans Lie
Victory
59:59 – 11 Tracks
As I mentioned last week, you kind of know what a Victory band will sound like… but lately, you just never know.  This band has a bit of the emo-screamo hardcore going on, then goes into the mellow stuff that sounds like the whimpy parts in a Mudvayne song.    So it goes from pretty awesome cool stuff to some icky whiney ballady stuff.   I’m torn on this one… the cool parts are really way cool and catchy… but the whiney stuff turns me off…. but I guess I’ll decide it’s in the good enough for airplay category!

W.A.S.P.
Babylon
Global
43:26 – 9 Tracks
Well, this sounds like a classic WASP album!   Well produced, a bit catchy,  heavy and well, classic WASP.  The Deep Purple “Burn” cover rivals the coolness of “The Real Me” from the Headless Children.  Blackie knows how to keep the classic sound! http://www.waspnation.com/

Rob Zombie
Hellbilly Deluxe 2
Roadrunner
46:11 – 11 Tracks
Hey, it’s Zombie… he’s back!   And you know what?  After all these years, the sound is still what you’d expect.  Electronic-ish distorted guitar sound, catchy bouncy songs… and Zombies trademark vocals.  John 5 still on guitars… as with the WASP album this week… you know what you’re gonna get!  http://www.robzombie.com/

Dream Evil
In The Night
Century Media
46:31 – 12 Tracks
This is really how power metal should sound these days… Yes, good powerful clean vocals are already a given… but the music on a lot of this genre lately has just been watered down… These guys have a bit of an edge to it… some balls and chunk… big guitar solos, big metal sound… all over the top… but not TOO much like some of the Epic symphonic stuff.  This is just right.  http://www.dreamevil.se/
