It’s a bit of a slow week due to the holiday, so there’s only three new things to review this week…

Eidolon
The Parallel Otherworld
InsideOut
68:01 – 10 Tracks
Of course you may know this bad as the band that the new guys in Megadeth are from. They are a quality power metal band. There’s some crazy guitar playing on here. The vocals are a bit like Judas Priest. A good solid release, and as I am not a thesaurus, I’ll just say the same thing I say about a lot of stuff… nothing really groundbreaking here. You’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit!

Celtic Frost
Monotheist
Century Media
68:22 – 11 Tracks
I have to be honest… I don’t know much about Celtic Frost, just that they are metal pioneers, and I started to get into metal after their heyday. So, they have a new album. It’s pretty good. It does sound “classic” and that’s what I would expect from a band that’s been around as long as these guys. Why change, right? It stays heavy, raw and in your face and doomy as well. You’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit!

Skinless
Trample The Weak, Hurdle The Dead
Relapse
36:42 – 8 Tracks
Brutal death metal! I’ve liked Skinless since seeing them at Milwaukee Metalfest a few years ago. The thing I did like about them, was the singer wasn’t just a cookie monster guy that would just stand there and growl, he was more like a hardcore kinda guy. Well, he is not in the band, but the music is still brutal and that’s what’s important. The new vocals sound just fine too. The production is a little raw, but it doesn’t take away from anything. It’s good solid brutal death metal! You’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit!

Dissection
Reinkaos
The End
43:04 – 11 Tracks
It’s been 11 years since we’ve heard from these guys. This new album sounds crisp, well put together and a no-nonsense black/melodic black metal album. It’s not crazy intense like a Dimmu Borgir, but it’s more like a Dark Tranquillity or At the Gates. This is great stuff, and you’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit!

Cataract
Kingdom
Metal Blade
41:26 – 11 Tracks
Mike and I both liked the last Cataract album. At the time, they were doing something that wasn’t so common… metal with a hardcore edge and some great musicianship. Nowadays, metalcore is the norm, but these guys stand out. This is thrashy, aggressive, and makes you want to stomp around and break stuff. It has some raw production, where it sounds a little boomy in parts, but I think that adds to the affect. You’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit!

Speed Kill Hate
Acts of Insanity
Escapi
36:13 – 9 Tracks
A lot of chatter about these guys online and around here and there. “Featuring members of Overkill” is all you hear, so you figure it will sound like them a bit, right? Well, it does a little bit. More shouty/growly vocals, but a straight-ahead thrashy sound backs it up. You will hear this on the Mosh Pit.

Threat Signal
Sampler
Nuclear Blast
7:25 – 2 Tracks
They got the whole Meshuggah thing going on. Throw in some of the clean vocals from Fear Factory along with a bunch of the Fear Factory sound, and you have these guys. It IS produced by Chrisitan Olde Wolbers from Fear Factory, so that explains that part of it.

Spheric Universe Experience
Mental Torments
Nightmare
69:09 – 9 Tracks
This came with the Pyramaze CD, and is French Prog-Power metal. They have well put together songs, with some technical chops, keyboards, clean vox, and not singing about dragons and stuff. If you like Fates Warning, Dream Theater, and that sort, you’d really be into this band. You may hear this on the Mosh Pit!

Howdy! Well, here’s a lil something about what’s new this week…

Artimus Pyledriver
Artimus Pyledriver
DRT
43:31 – 10 Tracks
Take a some AC/DC, throw in some Clutch and you got these guys. It’s some heavy punching hard rockin’ fun though. Straight Up southern style stoner metal. I think it’s pretty good and you’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit!

The Sleeping
Questions and Answers
Victory
53:13 – 12 Tracks
Well, at first listen on the first trick… the closest thing I can think of… some emo rock version of Bush? It’s very singy… not really angry enough for the Mosh Pit. While they seem to be good at what they do, it’s just not Mosh Pit material!

This Is Hell
Sundowning
Trustkill
28:32 – 13 Tracks
Yo! It’s another hardcore record! It’s not too shabby. Just your average meat and potatoes hardcore band, with a little bit of metalcore-ish sound mixed in. The production is raw and edgy, which makes it pretty interesting. This is okay… you may hear it on the Mosh Pit.

Neaera
Let The Tempest Come
Metal Blade
50:40 – 11 Tracks
Well, this starts off pretty brutal! Usually I have the word “brutal” by my 2nd mini-review thinger. It’s got a mostly grind/death metal vibe… but of course, these days, it wouldn’t be cool without a little bit of metalcore sound, right? Actually, it’s just a pinch of metalcore… it’s is mostly brutal intense stuff, along the lines of Black Dahlia Murder. It’s got the screachy screaming sound with some heavy double kick behind it, then kicking into some great cookie monster vocals. It’s good stuff. You’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit!

Eldritch
Neighborhell
LMP
45:22 – 11 Tracks
Power Metal! There’s been a bunch of new stuff out lately… I think we went a few months without anything in this genre. This isn’t just plain ol whiney dragon slaying power metal. It has some great guitar riffs, even a hint of Slayer in some of the guitars. There’s some decent heavy metal stuff going on, but yet it still keeps its power metal roots. You’ll hear this on the Mosh Pit!

Doro
Warrior Soul
Locomotive
54:17 – 12 Tracks
Hey, it’s not too bad… It stays kind of heavy music-wise, but the emphasis is really on the vocals, they are way up in the mix. It’s a pretty straight ahead hard rock album. Some songs get a little mellow, but what can you expect!? Nothing really outstanding here. It’s almost like a Dio album, but with Doro singing! heh. You’ll probably hear this on the Mosh Pit.
