New stuff this week…. 6/29/09

Glittertind
Landkjenning
Napalm
36:27 – 10 Tracks
This is kind of some “meh” folk metal.  More on the folk, easy on the metal.  Some parts do get going, but it is more similar to the folksy clean-vocal era Amorphis stuff.

Praying Mantis
Sanctuary
Frontiers
56:55 – 11 Tracks
Fairly run of the mill prog/power metal.  Good clean vocals, melodies, catchy guitar work… however, just nothing really new or groundbreaking.  Of course, as I read up a little bit, they’ve been around since 1981 and were part of the original NWOBHM… but broke up after a few years, and reformed in the early 90’s and have been semi-active since.  This new release just has that 80’s metal vibe and just probably won’t jive with the other stuff we play on the Mosh Pit!

Stream of Passion
The Flame Within
Napalm
41:42 – 13 Tracks
Well, this is yet another “fe-metal” band.  Decent metal as most of these bands are, but with melodic clean singy female vocals.   Most of the stuff is power ballad-ey, but yet, the occasional cool moment of metal here and there in between the keyboardy orchestra stuff

Ex Deo
Romulus
Nuclear Blast
61:41 – 11 tracks
Side project of Kataklysm frontman Maurizio Iacono.  It also features guest spots by Karl Sanders (Nile), Nergal.   This is some good classic black/death metal sounding stuff.   It’s kind of along the lines of Satyricon… simple, yet still complex , catchy and dark.

Job For A Cowboy
Ruination
Metal Blade
40:32 – 10 Tracks
Good to have a new album from these guys… such a good mix of classic death metal with a new level of the modern brutal-core type thing that’s happening these days.  Production is a big heavy wall of sound that is relentless brutality!

Havok
Burn
Candlelight
49:22 – 12 Tracks
Another new wave of American Thrash band… these guys are from Colorado and pay great homage to Testament, Exodus or Death Angel… who would have thought the bay area moved to the rockies?   It’s got a great classic thrash sound.  These guys tend to go more for their old school sound with a pinch of new school… It’s not quite as heavy and brutal as the new stuff from Testament or Exodus.  Great stuff though!!

Obituary
Darkest Day
Candlelight
52:45 – 13 Tracks
Ooooh yeah… I still can’t believe how much I used to dislike Obituary… now… they’re back again with their trademark, signature sound and I can’t seem to get enough of it… this time around, a few more solos, production is good, yet with a little bit of raw edge.  Just a cool catchy groove of Death Metal… poor Allen West is missin’ out!

Paul Gilbert & Freddie Nelson
United States
Mascot
37:52 – 10 Tracks
You may know Paul Gilbert from Mr. Big and Racer X… and a bunch of instrumental stuff with a bunch of different people.  Freddie Nelson, is just a decent singer with a good classic Hard Rock/AOR, almost Freddy Mercury-esque voice.   Actually track 3 on this CD sounds like it could be a Queens song.  Others are pretty good hard rock/metal-ish.

Delain
April Rain
Sensory
50:19 – 12 Tracks
Another fe-metal band… starts off with a big time metal-ish intro, then kicks into the usual clean female “femetal” vocals.  The most similar to this is more like Lacuna Coil…where there is mostly a heavier/hard rock music backing, instead of a lot of symphonic stuff.  Don’t get me wrong, there is a lot of keyboards, but there is mostly some good metal distorty guitars.  The production has that big almost over produced in-your-face sound… which I think works pretty good with this genre.

Death By Stereo
Death Is My Only Friend
Serjical Strike
50:38 – 15 Tracks
Kind of a metal/punk-core thing going on… they’ve been around for a while.  Some quick catchy songs, with singalong choruses here and there… one could call it emo core?  Naw… just plain old metalcore to me…. but there’s just something about it that gets me… the sound is nice and punchy and gets all pissed off in parts too…

New stuff this week… 6/22/09

Here’s my take on the new releases for this week…

Astra
The Weirding
Metal Blade
78:41 – 8 Tracks
This is kinda psychedelic rock, spacey stuff.   A little bit like Porcupine Tree, some lighter King’s X and the like.  It’s really just melodic rock… not really even hard rock… but it does add something unique to the Metal Blade lineup… just not for metal shows in my opinion.

Ern Non Dae
Hydra Lernaia
Metal Blade
55:05 – 9 Tracks
This one is kind of on the darker gloomy doomy thrash side of things.  To me I feel Tool meets Meshuggah.   It has “extreme” moments, but is for the most part, pretty sludgey.

Firebird
Grand Union
Metal Blade
34:19 – 12 Tracks
An interesting week from Metal Blade… prog rock, slugey metal and stoner metal… Firebird of course being the latter.   Good classic and catchy sounding stoner rock/metal.  And I mentioned King’s X above… this is more like the cool jammy King’s X but, the songs are nice and short and not long boring “jammy”… you know what I mean?  Good stuff…

Poison the Well
The Tropic Rot
Ferret
47:20 – 12 Tracks
Huh… Not sure what to say about this… just plain old Metal-Core?  It’s not too heavy, not brutal, fairly melodic… for the most part, hard rock/metalcore light.   In my opinion, this is ripe for the commercial radio pickin’!

Maylene & The Sons of Disaster
III
Ferret
38:51 – 11 Tracks
This is a lil bit hard rock, some southern friend sounding hard rock and some stoner metal and a little metal core all rolled into one.   There is some really cool jammin’ music on here, great guitar solos.  Just fun lovin’ hard rock, but catchy and decent to listen to.

Jorn
Spirit Black
Frontiers
46:51 – 10 Tracks
Good ol’ Jorn.  Mike and I always like to make fun of his name… and better yet, to name your own band after yourself… even better.  He’s a great Singer (Jorn Lande)… albums are pretty much standard classic metal sounding stuff.  He’s got one of the most distinctive prog metal voices out there, and the music goes along with it…nothing really standout, nothing bad.

Trail of Tears
Bloodstained Endurance
Napalm
42:48 – 11 Tracks
These guys have been around a little while, but for some reason we never really got our hands on their albums… this is some pretty cool melodic black/symphonic metal.  It’s a bit euro-metal sounding, some female vox, but mixed in with cool death/black metal vocals.   It’s the real deal… lots of cool stuff going on and definitely worthy of Mosh Pit airplay.

Voivod
Infini
Relapse
50:41 – 13 Tracks
Well, this is the long awaited album that Piggy started and pretty much finished most of his parts on… and it sounds pretty good… classic Voivod sounding actually… And you can’t go wrong with that!

Madder Mortem
Eight Ways
Peaceville
64:22 – 12 Tracks
Female Fronted proggy rock stuff.  Mostly almost operattic vocals, with mostly just slow rock music, which then will build up to a moment or two of metal, then back to chillin’ rockin’ stuff.  Not really Mosh Pit material.

Internal Divine
2 Song Sampler
Echo Entertainment
9:05 – 2 Tracks
First listen… standard textbook metalcore.  Vocal style, breakdowns, you got it.  Not much more can be said!

Dream Theater
Black Clouds and Silver Linings
Roadrunner
75:25 – 6 Tracks
Well, as a long time DT fan, it’s always exciting to get a new album to see what they’ll do next… This time around, they opted for 6 epic tracks.   Musicianship is top notch once again, not so many totally wanky solos, everything seems to fit just right.  Some parts of some songs are just hokey and don’t seem to belong.. namely the “rap/growl”in “A Nightmare to Remember”   other parts could probably use some trimming up, but eh… it’s still all good… I’m just nitpicking.  I like this album a lot, it has a little feeling of Metropolis 2 and Awake, but with the newer modern influence from their last two albums.   Great stuff, and I’m sure I’ll have to make some radio edits to get some of these tracks on the air!
