GORGUTS
Wandering Times (Radio Excerpt)
Season of Mist
Technical proggy death metal… this is a snippet from their 33 minute single song EP I guess… Great stuff.

SYLVAINE
Earthbound (Radio Promo Single)
Season of Mist
Atmospheric and doomy in just one sample song here.  eh.

Gojira
“Stranded” [Single]
Roadrunner
This one of those songs that isn’t brutal or immediately heavy, but Gojira has a knack for riffs that are just SO FUCKING HEAVY and catchy they don’t need to be brutal to be brutal, you know?  Yeah, well this song is full of that… the rest of the music follows right along, catchy, heavy and yeah, brutal! haha.  Can’t wait for more.

Purson
Desire’s Magic Theater
Spinefarm
Laid back female fronted rock.  A bit proggy, a bit of a 70’s throwback too.

Haken
Affinity
InsideOut
Some of the next level of prog with this band.  Melodic and basically defining what prog is these days, changing stuff all over, some heavier parts, but overall a proggy hard rock thing, keyboard heavy and good stuff.

TED POLEY
Higher – RADIO SINGLE
Frontiers Music s.r.l.
Singer from Danger Danger, and this is melodic hard rockin’ stuff… would fit into that classic rock/AOR type category.  Probably not going to get airplay, but it’s good if you like this stuff.

Fallujah
Dreamless
Nuclear Blast USA
Their last album made my best of that year, just some great stuff.  This single so far is on track to match that.  Heavy, brutal yet pulling back to be technical, proggy, catchy.  Need more than just this single!

Painted Wives
Obsessed With The End
Century Media Records
Melodic kind of prog metal.  It has a heavy feel in parts, doomy in some parts, otherwise, it’s proggy/melodic and catchy too.  good stuff.

Visions Of Atlantis
Old Routes – New Waters (EP)
Napalm Records
pretty much a new lineup doin an EP of older songs re-recorded.  Good proggy power metal with operattic female vox with clean sung male vox too. This whole thing is a bit over the top, but decent stuff.

DARKEND
The Canticle Of Shadows
Non Serviam Records

Chains / Suton
Balkanian Narko Doom
Ordo MCM
April 25
Drony Doom… long songs, depressing droning noisy doom.

Occult Burial

A raw thrashy black-ish metal  with some groove, a little doom, some grind… mostly raw-ish too.

RISING
Oceans Into Their Graves
Indisciplinarian / Earsplit Distro
Nice meaty and heavy stoner metal.  Catchy tracks with an awesome groove.

Fister / TEETH

Fister is a track of doomy blackened death metal.  And it’s hard to tell the difference/style with the band Teeth who rounds our this split EP.

Father Sun Mother Moon CD/LP
Iron Bonehead Productions
Melodic blackened death metal.  A bit of folk metal too.
