Revocation
Empire of the Obscene
Metal Blade Records
This band is just soo good… Crazy to think this album is their first as Revocation, the production is so crisp, it’s got brutality, technicality, thrashitality, catchitality, and yeah awesomeitality.  I don’t normally like to add reissues, but this one is worthy!

Kobra and the Lotus
“Remember Me”/”Zombie” (Single)
Titan
“Remember Me” is kind of a ballad/depressing slow track, not really for the Mosh Pit… “Zombie” on the other hand more than makes up for it.  Catchy groovin’ track with lots of hooks and good stuff.

Doll Skin
In Your Face
EMP
Female fronted hard rock.  Catchy tracks, but really not pushing into the metal realm too far.

Aftermath
Killing The Future
Divebomb
A remaster of an early album of this early thrash band’s album.  A good wall of sorta punk fueled raw thrash.  Good stuff

Myka Relocate
The Young Souls
Razor And Tie
This is one of those bands that on the surface and in the beginning sounds good and heavy/brutal, but gets to the chorus and takes a big turn towards singy emo-mall core, which might be good for some folks, but not for the folks that do this radio show.  Sigh.

Devil You Know
They Bleed Red
Nuclear Blast Entertainment
Just full on brutal metal.  Not death metal or black metal, just heavy stuff with a pinch of djent and some melodic stuff, so I guess generally I’d call it some decente melodic death

The Novelists
Souvenirs
Metalville Records
A catchy metalcore type thing, good technical proggy stuff along with enough heaviness to keep it cool.

With Our Arms To The Sun
A Far Away Wonder
Fade To Silence Records
Stoner/doom/ambient type stuff, maybe a bit of prog rock too.

From Hell
The Walking dead (Single)
Scourge Records
Just a re-release of this single for Halloween time!  Brutal!

Mammoth Storm
Fornjot
Napalm Records
Doomy stoner metal with more doom than stoner and more doom than metal too. Some long long songs with some drony riffage.

Ritual
Ritual
Bullet Tooth
Screamy metalcore type stuff.  Aggressive, in your face and somewhat technical too.

HERSCHER
Herscher
Self-Release
Drony doom metal

Bevar Sea
Invoke the Bizarre
Self-Release
Stoner doom metal which gets into a little heavier stuff in parts… but mostly a good down tempo metal with some groove.

Hautajaisyö
Hautajaisyö
Inverse
Melodic death, a good catchy thrashing groove with some growly death vox but also with some clean sung stuff.

Christ Agony
Black Blood
Witching Hour productions
Melodic blackened death metal.  Heavy, melodic yet brutal.  Only a 3 song EP, but it’s some good stuff!

O.S.I.R.I.S.
The Conquest of Planet Death – Vol 2
Tyrannus
Atmospheric depressing basic black metal.  vocals are more or less spoken growled word.  No thanks.

Pathologic Noise
Gore Aberration
Greyhaze Records
Good old fashioned brutal death metal with no fucking around.  Some cool solos and just classic good stuff.

POLICE STATE
Mind Collapse
Grimoire Records
Brutal sounding death metal, with a bit of a black metal feel… but also a classic hardcore metal thing going on too… neat mix of stuff that works!

Blynd
Liber Sum
Pitch Black Records
Heavy, melodic Lamb of God-like metal.  Catchy riffs, abrasive vox and a good groove.

Helmsplitter + The Communion –
Great Violence And Hidden Depths Split CD
Horror Pain Gore Death
Helmsplitter is decent brutal death metal, The Communion is some raw thrashy black metal

Pessimist
Slaughtering the Faithful [reissue]
Obscure Musick
Reissue of the 2002 album.  Good brutal death metal!

Kill The Thrill
1989
Atypeek Music
The sound is a little bit like it’s from 1989, it has some industrial alt. rock sound (vocally) but musically it has flourishes of metal/punk type stuff, but the poppy stuff kinda cancels it out.

ONELEGMAN
Do You Really Think This World Was Made for You?
Buil2Kill Records
First impressions, it’s a bit like a Dog Fashion Disco.  Kind of a melodic alternative metal type thing.

Love N War
Up The Annie
Self Released (Online Metal Promo)
A hard rock hair metal sounding thing.  Good n catchy with a little bit of an edge.  Works pretty good.

VIGILANCE
HOUNDS OF MEGIDDO
WITCHES BREW
Some pretty cool melodic death type stuff.  While mostly just death metal, there’s some cool melodic and kinda proggy stuff going on.

SECOND TO SUN
The First Chapter
Self Released
Melodic doomy and proggy metal with a pinch of black metal… and what’s cool about it?  No vox!

Il Vuoto
Weakness
Label: Satanarsa Records
Funeral doom.  Depressing blackened doom stuff.  Too depressing for me!

Queen Elephantine
Omen
Atypeek Music
Psychedelic Doom / Drone… meh.

Pantera
History of Hostility
Rhino
A greatest hits type thing coming out in Dec.  Just in time for Christmas!  Any new reissue or greatest hits is a good excuse to break out some old Pantera!

I Mother Earth
Blossom
Upperleftside Music / RPMpromotion
Melodic alternative rock… back in the day these guys may have been a bit more… um ok, but now?  Probably not good for the ol Mosh Pit.

RAPTURE
CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY
WITCHES BREW
Thrashy death metal.  Great stuff.  Catchy fast riffs, a sense of brutality, but without getting into full on death metal.

Classic old school thrash metal.  Big screamy voice but with some evil abrasiveness to it too.

Hard rockin’ prog, a little bit like the band 3 with maybe some Karnivool/Yes/Tool stuff all going on.

Shining

Spinefarm
Heavy modern metal with an ecclectic jazzy thing going on with horns and stuff like that.  Pretty unique but yet a bit “out there”

Incite
The Slaughter
MinusHEAD
This is a reissue of their first album from 2009… and yeah, we loved their album from last year… didn’t hear this one before and now I’m glad I am.  Great catchy heavy Lamb of God-like monster riffs and precision.  Great stuff.

Cleopatra Records
A catchy classic metal with a little thrash and stoner metal tendency

Hatchet
Far Beyone Lunacy

Napalm Records
When you say reggae metal, who else is there?  Right. Just Skindred.  Heavy sound with some reggae infused thrashy metal.

STRYPER
Fallen
Frontiers Music srl
Classic Stryper.  Not real any rippers on here, just some classic metal.

Twitching Tongues
Disharmony
Metal Blade Records
Kind of some hardcore but with gothy doom taking over.  A bit of a Type O/Life of Agony meets Hatebreed thing going on.  Not too many bands throwing those beats down.  Cool stuff.

With the Dead
With The Dead
Rise Above
Sludgey doom stoner metal with a bit boomy sound.

Coheed and Cambria
The Color Before the Sun
Roadrunner Records
Cool proggy rock… pretty much like all of their stuff.  Probably not really mosh pit material though.

Eye of the Destroyer
Methods of Murder
Self-Released
Brutal death metal, fast and frenetic, grindy and chugga chugga brutal.

Killing Joke
Pylon
Spinefarm
Kind of a post-punk/industrial/alt rock type thing.  They’ve been on the fringes of metal/hard rock, but still not quite ready for the Mosh Pit.

Counting Days
Liberated Sounds
Mascot
A bit thrash, hardcore and yeah, metalcore… cuz that’s what metalcore is right?  metal and hardcore mixed up with some melodic stuff too?  This throws in a bit of brutality, but mostly staying in the good metalcore area.

Amberian Dawn
Innuendo
Napalm Records
Female fronted power metal…fe-metal if you please..

Teramaze
Her Halo
Mascot Records
Melodic hard rock/proggy metal/hard rock.  Clean vox with catch metal edge in parts and definitely a prog metal thing going on too.

Circle II Circle
Reign Of Darkness
earMUSIC
In case you forgot this is that classic metal/power/prog metal band fronted by Zak Stevens who used to be Savatage’s frontman… Well, as power metal goes, this is good stuff as there’s a good metal edge, powerful vox, catchy and just good ol “metal”

Grave Digger
Exhumation, The Early Years
Napalm Records
Looks like this is a compilation of stuff they dug up from the old days… then re-recorded them to give them some new life and show that modern production does make a difference.  These songs sound great and this band has been doing classic German metal the right way a very long time.

Infected
Infected (Single)
Dark Star Records
Industrial… sounds like this could have almost come from the Matrix soundtrack a buncha years ago.

ZOMBI
Shape Shift (NA Promo)
Relapse Records
Proggy stuff with lots of keyboards, kind of reminds me of the 80’s Rush years.  This is all instrumental, so if you like the Signals, Power WIndows or Grace Under Pressure era Rush, you’ll dig this.

Moloken
All is Left to See
Temple of Torturous
Blackened doom.

Bauda
Sporelights
Temple of Torturous
Kind of a proggy pop rock type thing.

SUMA
Ashes
Argonauta Records
Sludgey stonery doomy metal.  You got some really long tracks on here too.  So get your work boots on, the sludge is deep!

Apparatus
Apparatus
Lavadome Productions
Creepy doomy black metal…

Odium
Failure II
Self-Release (Asher)
Heavy yet melodic, proggy and catchy.  Brutal shit going on, yet a melodic death thing happening too. I just started reviewing stuff, but I think this is going to be my “other” pick this week.

Onirik (Portugal)
Casket Dream Veneration CD/LP
Iron Bonehead / Altare
Old school classic black metal… a bit doomy.

Broken Teeth
Bulldozer
Texas Metal Underground
Classic hard rock… maybe a bit like an AC/DC type band, but with more of a classic metal sound and a bit more melodic.

PROPAGANDA
The Mask Of Sanity
Brute! Productions
Brutal Death metal with an emphasis on the BRUTAL.  Cookie Monster growling and gurgling,

ANAL FISSURE
Mind Of A Serial Killer
Brute! Productions
What can you expect from a band with this name?  Well, just like the Propaganda above, it’s full on brutal death metal which is never a bad thing.  This one throws it all at you with song titles and presumably lyrics too. “Swarming Vile”, “Rectal Bludgeoning” and “Sodomy Fundamentals” to name a few.

Alien Syndrome 777
Outer
Avantgarde Music
I think this label typically gets bands that match up with their label name… so yeah, the style of this band falls into the Avant-garde Black metal.  You got your classic Black metal sound along with some clean gothy vox and sound too.

MORTAL TORMENT
Cleaver Redemption
Gore House Productions
Classic brutal death metal, good clean production and just a great chugga chugga cookie monster sound and a bit of a blackened death thing going on too.

HORNWOOD FELL
Yheri
Avantgarde Music
Mostly classic black metal, maybe a bit of an avant garde thing and atmospheric stuff going on too.

ABSCONDITUS
Kat?ßas??
I, Voidhanger Records
Fast fast fast old school black metal.

Nuclear
Formula for Anarchy
Candlelight Records
Classic heavy thrash, a bit like Slayer vocally, a bit more catchy musically.

OTARGOS
Xeno Kaos
Kaotoxin
Blackened death, blackened black metal?  haha  Heavy wall of sound black metal with some death brutality in there too.  You want a bit of melodic proggy stuff too?  Yeah!  So blackened melodic death metal it is.
