					<description><![CDATA[I will never be a massive Death Metal fan, plus I’ll always steer clear of anything Grindcore related, but somehow listening to ANTI-SAPIEN on this “At The Mercy Of The Merciless” has found a way to surpass my reservations and draw me in with ease. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Conclusion I have to give you about this MOONLIT MASQUERADE EP “Wreckage” is that I have become extremely interested not only in this release, but I am very much looking out for anything that they come up with in the future. If they are able to pull off anything in the vein of this EP, they will be a force to be reckoned with. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[“Nothing Is All I Am” is an EP that should make VIRTUE IN VAIN come out smelling of roses. I am simply wondering why no record company has p[icked them up and given the time, space and opportunity to grow under their wings. If you ask me, this deserves to be heard worldwide. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I have to say that even though this isn’t even close to my cup of tea, there is no denying that WHAT WILL BE exists of four very good musicians who really gel well together. They know how to complement each other in such a way that it makes the songs sound very good indeed. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[PYTHONIC does command respect. The way they have approached the music is impressive. I hear Metalcore, I get Metal Hardcore, I receive Groove metal and I hear Heavy Metal. Sometimes one of the four, at other times two or more of the four ingredients on offer. And what is even more impressive; they work well together. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I like the sound that ABOVE US THE WAVES better than I do the tunes individually. I would even go so far as to say that if they were able to write outstanding sounds, they would be able to make a real go at musical stardom.  Nevertheless, “Counting Seasons” is a very decent EP.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[On this EP you hear all the elements that were needed to make CATHEDRAL into the band they were. It’s all properly and expertly put together in just one song. If this is their last hoorah, then the band couldn’t have gone out in a better way than with “Society’s Pact With Satan”.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[BLACK RABBIT has come out stronger this time. When I was listening to “Chronolysis”, it felt that the band just let go, and damned be the consequences. It made for some uneven levels on that wile, while on “Warren Of Necrosis” it is a lot more in sync with each other. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[To narrow down how WOLFBRIGADE does sound, think Punk with some Thrash Metal influences, but more importantly, as if MOTÖRHEAD is playing pure Punk instead of their Rock ‘n’ Roll version. But what is even more impressive in my books is that although I’m not the world’s biggest Punk afficionado, I really am digging what I hear on “Hostile Wasteland”. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This is the first I have ever heard of DENIAL OF LIFE, and not to put a fine point on it, but this “Witness The Power” EP is one that will have your ears and brain working from start to finish. The way singer Brenna Gowin starts to try and expel her intestines from her innards when she starts shouting is nothing less than impressive. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I would love to hear more of BEAST EAGLE. I sincerely would like for them to give “Sorceress” a successor that is over 40 minutes long, a full length studio album. And I would love to see and experience what these four people can produce when they play live. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There is no denying the fact that “Reckoning” is a very powerful and interesting EP. If HOUSE OF HOSTS is capable of writing good songs in this vein in the future that are as good or even better than these ones, they should consider making a full album.]]></description>

It has that quality that has your ears pointing towards the sound and your brain accepting the intensity and almost classic level of musicality. ]]></description>

This certainly is Death Metal from start to finish, but the way they have been able io incorporate the Progressive Metal inspirations, rhythms, breaks and parts is nothing less than impressive.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The name of the band, SADISTIC FORCE, has been chosen wisely, as this is one of the finest forms of torture that you will ever come across within the Metal genres. “Morbid Odyssey” is an amalgamation of five forms of torment that will have you trying to find a way to escape, only to experience the feeling of emptiness when it all ends.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[DISTORTA is able to demonstrate that you can make an Extreme form of Metal without only being angry, disillusioned, desperate or desolate during that whole process. Nope, “Deadman” is proof that DISTORTA makes the sort of Extreme Metal that can also be lots of fun to make for a band. ]]></description>

It has that kind of magnetism that makes what HYDRA VEIN plays sound and feel almost addictive, but most of all that good that you are wondering why they stopped at making just an EP. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I can not deny that the title song of this EP, “We Stand United”, doesn’t impress. I really love the way the band has been able to mix their Symphonic and Melodic Metal with Groove and attitude. Because there is no way around the fact that the track is full of all of the mentioned attributes, making it a very impressive song. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I can’t help but express my desire to be able to listen to a whole full-length album of good music of this quality. ZUBZERO have surpassed anything they have done in the past and should be ready to go out into the world and collect the praise that they deserve. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What began as a group of friends secretly writing together has evolved into an immersive musical force that defies easy categorization. Though rooted in metal-core and hardcore sensibilities, the band refuses to be pigeonhole into a single genre. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Sheffield hard hitters, OUR NORTH, have been serving up their enticing brand of Metalcore, fused with Hip Hop and Trap, since their formation in 2019. Channelling everyone from BRING ME THE HORIZON and WHILE SHE SLEEPS to BAD OMENS, OUR NORTH unleash a sound that is soaked in power, venom, diversity, and passion. I just hear LINKIN PARK with the heavier parts using a grunt or scream that is a bit more extreme. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Well, if you were wondering whether DO OR DIE is still a Hardcore band, any doubt you might have had will have disappeared after a few seconds, as this is like anything they have done before; Hard, Heavy, Hardcore, Uncompromising. The sound is relentless, which really works with the almost hysterical sounding vocals. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[With all the info that was with the NEUROBLADE music it didn’t mention anywhere whether these guys will ever be playing live or if they will keep on making music together under this name. I really do hope they will answer yes to both questions, because I have a feeling that it will blow the audience away when they are on stage. And I am sure that if they improve and ripen with age, NEUROBLADE could grow into a force of its own. They have made a really impressive start with “Desert Claw”.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[THE LORD WEIRD SLOUGH FEG makes their music in a way that it will transport you back to the eighties, as their brand of Heavy Metal is heavily reliant on that era. Thankfully they have been able to update their production in such a manner that that hasn’t been stuck in the past. It is very contemporary, without losing the authentic retro feel that really sums up the sound of THE LORD WEIRD SLOUGH FEG.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[PARAGON are finally seeing the light of being released. And not only with their first EP “Paragon I” from 1990, but also with their second EP with the very original title “Paragon II” from 1992. Let me just state that if you are an enthusiast for Melodic Rock and Metal you need to listen to these records. Not maybe, but mandatory. This simply is too good to miss.

					<description><![CDATA[Not only is CROWEN proficient in exchanging musical styles at random and exactly at the right times, they also have mastered the ability to write and produce bloody good songs. All six of them on “Where The Darkness Falls” make sense from start to finish and somehow, when they enter your brain via your ears, the sounds stay embedded in there. That, my friends is a sure fired way to distinguish a good piece of music from an excellent one. ]]></description>
