Accion Mutante-Underground speedy, angry death metal from poland. Pathology Stench pumps out pure fast past, almost brutal, death metal. It was actually a surprisingly good release, but i wasn't interested in it for some reason. It was great sound quality for an underground polish DM band. I heard their stuff the first time when i saw the video for the album track "Accion Mutante". Recommended to fans of: Tech death, brutal death, and fast paced death metal. Overall Rating: 7/10
Tides|Giant-Split CD between atmospheric sludge band Tides and Experimental doom band Giant. Tides pushed out a great 2 tracks. Beautiful, uplifting, atmospheric sludge. There are no lyrics on the 2 songs, but i presume the other material has lyrics because if not, i think the band would be considered post metal/post rock. Giant put a nice long song with great atmosphere with balls. Giant really, in my opinion, has no straight up doom metal elements whatsoever. I feel they play atmospheric sludge with some doom mixed in. The song had nice piano lines and better atmosphere than Tides. Recommended for fans of: new Isis, Irreversible, and Bossk. Overall Rating: 9/10 & 9.1/10
Filosofem-Released after Hvis Lyset Tar Oss, this album has alot more ambient elements than the previous. This was basically the changing of times, the transformation of turning burzum into free black metal into ambient music released while Varg is in jail. The songs were good, but track 5 was extremely annoying when he overused the same droning ambient lines for about 15 minutes after the black metal part of the song ended. Recommended for fans of: Bathory and black ambient music. Overall Rating: 6.7/10
The Years To Come-A very diverse band from the heart of south dakota. The band really to me seems like Atreyu with harder vocals. The vocals sound almost exactly like the drummer of atreyu, but the screams have a league of their own. Inhales, basically gutturals, but he uses them as vocals. It's hard to describe, so if you really want to know you're going to have to find out for yourself. I used to like all the bands material, but right after their new album came out on victory i lost interest in all releases but this one. It sucks that after the newer album "Defined By Struggle" was released, victory stopped supporting them on their new tour. The band went broke and decided to break up because there was only one original member left in the band. Recommended for fans of: Atreyu. Overall Rating: 8.3/10
Tube Of The Resinated-The 2nd release from death metallers Cannabis corpse. The band was created to poke fun at cannibal corpse's obsession over gore. Phil of Municipal Waste started Cannabis Corpse to make fun of that and took the name and changed it so the band talks strictly about marijuana instead of gore. They went all out, they took some song titles from cannibal and changed them to fit Cannabis Corpse's name (ie: Mummified In Bong Water and Every Bud Smoken). The band even has a mascot; a pot monster hahaha. A guy dresses up in a costume of a marijuana plant and is there at the shows and in photo promos; much like iron maiden's "Eddie" and how Cannibal has reoccuring characters in their album artwork that look similar. Recommended to fans of: Municipal Waste and Cannibal Corpse. Overall Rating: 7.7/10
