The Roman Holiday/Ministros Del Santuario/Arbiter of Conceit/AsHimAsHer/Fear Before the March of Flames/The Fire Restart/Darkness Before Dawn/Hallowed

The Apocalyptic Genocide of the Human Race: I found this band in the new band section of Metal Archives and it said deathcore so i gave it a try. And i was blown away at the amazingness. This is the best release of all time. I don't expect them to come out with a full length. This EP is actually Brutal Deathcore and is loaded with ballsy riffs and amazingness. The vocals are all gutteral with some screams (which i like). and the last track, after the song is done its just 2 1/2 minutes of shit, diarrhea, and constipation noises. Which is hilarious. I can't wait to get the real copy in my hands. Overall Rating: 9825609856230576230523560723462350723640234075/10
Antidiabolical: I'm good friends with the drummer of this band (he is also in encryptor, sorrowstorm, northern ash, and rehumanize, after the death of this band). He did a great job on this album. This is a compilation of their first album, demo songs, a live demo, and a bonus track from encryptor's new promo demo. This is the best christian brutal death album, given the fact there aren't many others. I like how they use the pentagram with the goat and have the red X through it. Track 7 skipped a little bit. My favorite song was track 2. Overall Rating: 9.9/10
Desecration of the Immaculate: This band has never had a real vocalist, they have had session vocalists from War Torn and Bodies in the Gears of the Apparatus. The band in general though is very good quality brutal death metal. Recently they released two new songs and are planning a new full length. Overall Rating: 8/10
Retirement: This is a band i found while adding bands to metal archives. They are mediocre deathcore and just rereleased this demo under their new name The Ocean Has Eyes. Everything about this album screams mediocrity and theres not much more to say about it. Overall Rating: 4/10Probably one of my favorite bands along with saetia, agalloch, the roman holiday, and impending doom, and etc.. This is an EP (i'm hoping to order soon) of a bunch of unreleased material. Tracks 1-2 are live songs from their newest album. Track 3 was from the masters of horror compilation. Track 4 is a demo from their 2nd album. Track 5 is a demo of the first and last track of the new album. It's good they try to get all their songs out there, and the album artwork on this is awesome. I'm really looking forward to their new album being released hopefully this fall. Overall Rating: 8/10Spring 2006 demo: The Fire Restart were good while they lasted. I'm upset they broke up but i'm looking forward to their other band's materials. This is good screamo influenced christian underground post hardcore. Very strong screams and a beautiful singing voice, the unsung heroes of this genre. Like Flyleaf meets Paramore meets Flee the Scene but better. Overall Rating: 9/10Demo 2008: I found this band looking through christian bands in metal archives. The first song i listened to Material Existence was extremely talented. They fuse deathcore, blackened symphonic keyboards, and death/black vocals to make an amazing blackened deathcore outfit along the likes of Mortal Treason (but more core). This demo is of upcoming material to be released, and the stuff is mad good. Another release i'm looking forward to. Overall Rating: 9/10 Hallowed Butchery of the Son-Discography: Ryan Fairfield is a nice guy. This was his project as black-grind before he dropped "Of the Son" and became more experimental black/death. This cd is only about 18-20 minutes long. Each track is no longer than 1:55 and blasts its blasphemous beats within that amount of time. Alot of songs have really catchy lines, riffs, or beats that keep you into it for the minute its on. Extremely Blasphemous high quality black-grind. Overall Rating: 9/10
