Semblant
Lunar Manifesto
EMP
Melodic death with some symphonic type stuff… Maybe a little bit of a Cradle of Filth thing mixed with some maybe, say Arch Enemy type stuff?   Throw in some clean fe-metal accents for a little bit of a gothy feel too.

Twelve Foot Ninja
“Invincible” (Single)
Volcanik Music
This is a bit more of a commercial friendly hard-rock type thing. Decent and catchy, maybe a melodic hard rock with a little metalcore edge to it.

Red Fang
“Flies” (Single)
Relapse
Good catchy stoner metal with a groove, clean vox and some more shouty-type vox.  Great riffage with a little bit of a throwback vibe

Korn
“Rotting In Vain” (Single)
Roadrunner
This band has had some ups and downs… this song is an UP!  A great throwback to the old says of guitar driven Korn, but with that catchy melodic stuff, and even some of Jonathan’s scatty growly stuff too.  Excited to hear some more!

Every Time I Die
“Glitches” (Single)
Epitaph
Kind of a punked up metal/hardcore thing.  I don’t remember these guys being this raw and in your face… then again, I listen to a LOT of stuff and can be getting my hardcore metalcore bands messed up.  It’s got a little hint of Slayer riffage and some catchy stuff going on too actually.

Ringworm
Snake Church
Relapse
Heavy, catchy and yeah, brutal metal/hardcore.

NUMENOREAN
Home
Season of Mist
Doomy melodic black metal, some really long songs, a bit on the post-metal side of things.

BAPTISM
V: The Devil’s Fire
Season of Mist
Good agressive blackened death metal, not quite “brutal” but a definite melodic black metal sound, but staying with a heavier evil-ish edge.

Black Crown Initiate
Selves We Cannot Forgive
eOne Entertainment
Heavier modern metal with some brutal stuff, but then you got some more melodic and proggy parts going on too.  Just 2 songs right now, I’m hoping the other stuff leans more on the brutal side.

Valient Thorr
Old Salt
Napalm Records
These guys have kind of carved out their own little genre of hard rockin’ southern rock.  Catchy groovin’ stoner-ish stuff.

Zodiac
Grain of Soul
Napalm Records
Big meaty riffs and a sound a bit like Clutch, nice hard rockin’ groove and catchy.

Armored Dawn
Armored Dawn
Concrete Marketing Inc.
How a band hasn’t put these two words together for a band name is beyond me… but this kind of sounds as I expected it, a heavy almost Manowar-like sound but a bit of a power metal meets a good grooving hard rock.

Budderside
Can’t Wrap My Head
Motorhead Music/UDR
Hard rock type stuff a bit of a classic AOR type stuff?  Maybe a bit like Disturbed-lite, a bit more groovy and happy sounding?

Horseback
‘Dead Ringers’ Singles
Relapse
Ambient electronic background music type stuff (not metal)

Ossuary Insane
Possession of the Flesh LP
Blood Harvest
This appears to be a 2003 album, but it’s good brutal death metal, sounds clean and catchy with some brutal grooves going on.

The Foreshadowing
Seven Heads Ten Horns
Metal Blade Records / Cyclone Empire
Gothy doom stuff, with a little pinch of heavier music going on… but a bit prog with hints of Type O Negative and the more chilled out Opeth stuff with a heavy cloud of doom.

Shataan
Weigh of the Wolf LP
Iron Bonehead
Mainly black metal, the vox are a bit screamy shouty/creepy.  Melodic and doomy too.

Panopticon
Revisions Of The Past
Nordvis Produktion / Bindrune Recordings
This almost sounds like 2 things going on at once, some classic old school black metal but some proggy melodic doomish metal too.

Impure Consecration
Succumb to Impurity Fire 7″ EP
Blood Harvest
2 songs, but a blackended death thing.  Vocals are a bit subdued in the mix, but in front is a bit drum sound and black-ish metal vox and guitars.

Tomb Mold
The Bottomless Perdition TAPE
Blood Harvest
Well it says it’s released on TAPE, but a digital promo again… still sounds like its on tape.  Grooving death metal with some “meh” production.  Raw and splooshy.  Decent heavy death metal stuff.

Coscradh
Coscradh
Invictus
Blackened death metal, wall of brutal sound, a couple instrumentals, and then some brutal growly screams too.  A big meaty doom feeling too.

Supremative
Servitude of the Impurity 7″ EP
Blood Harvest
Death metal with a bit of gurgly growly vox.  A big groove along with some blast beats too.

KOHTI TUHOA
Rutiinin Orja
Southern Lord
A hardcore punk type thing, in your face, female high pitch vox screaming at you in Finnish.

NUNSLAUGHTER / GRAVEWÜRM
split picture-disc 7″
Hells Headbangers
Brutal blackened death on the Nunslaughter side.  A bit more doomy and more sludgey on the Gravewurm side, still black metal.  Of the 4 tracks on here, Nunslaughter covers Gravewurm on one and vice versa.

Bathyum
Album: Rituals of the Damned
Label: Heathen Tribes
Good decent classic black metal with good production and a decent melodic thing going on too.

Keychain
Prime Time (single)
Self-Release (Asher)
Nu Metal is back! just a single, but a classic nu-metal sound and old Sevendust feeling but with rap-stuff going on too.

SLAMMIN’ THRU
Things to Come
Suspiria Records
A bit old school thrash meets prog metal…and just your good ol standard “metal” type thing.

Fractal Cypher
Singles: Awakening, Lost, Prison Planet
Self-Release
3 songs of prog metal, one a bit more power ballad-ey, one is good straight up prog metal, the other has a mix of the two.  Good stuff though.
