Kevin Zugschwert - Over The Limit
Kevin Zugschwert is a guy living in Aurora (USA) and he is in love with his guitar and metal. So why not combine those two elements and create something nice. Instrumental music with the mainrole for the guitars but also frequently playing the piano. The riffs are melodic, furious or accoustic and tender. And when he is not riffing he is sweating o...

Esqarial - Inheritence
Esqarial plays technical death metal with some thrash influences. But what makes their sound fresh are the great guitarleads who have touches of masters like Vai or Satriani. The songs have a lot of variety in the melodies and tempo. Again two instrumental tracks and a cover track of Jimi Hendrixs "Fire". Wished they had made the cover faster and m...

Linear Sphere - Reality Dysfunction
When I got this CD and the info sheet was telling me that they play prog-fusion metal I doubt if I would like it. Normally I am into the extreme but I gave Linear Sphere a fair chance. I crossed my fingers after hearing the keyboard intro but let them go right away when the real music started. Like the sheet is also telling that 3 members are teach...

Maze Of Torment - Hidden Cruelty
Album number six from this Swedisch thrash metal horde. The band is around since the early 90's and play thrash pur sang. No fancy shit just the headbanging galops with the great air guitar leads. The album rapids with enough breaks to change tempo and melody. Also two mid paced songs (track 4 and 10) to lean back and charge the battery and for the...

Paragon - The Dark Legacy
Never heard of this power metal band before but this is their 6th album. Existing since 1992 and still held high the roots of heavy metal. Up tempo songs, clean high vocals, multi vocals choruslines, fresh guitars with nice leads. After some up tempo songs there comes this slower one and then go full speed ahead again. All very classic and with the...

Quietus - Destroyer Of Worlds
One man band that delivers 1 intro and two apocalyptic tracks. Fast drumprogramming, hellish / thrashy screams and raging guitars are the ingredients that is a taste for the full length to come. With the intro the tension is build and will go over in devastating next song. Screams covers the speakers and the tempo is high. In the last song Chris is...

Shining / Funeral Dirge - The Sinister Alliance
2 tracks from each group. This split contains raw and unparalelled metal supremecy. Shining play very fast, thrash influenced Black Metal that gives you a few surprises. Funeral Dirge play true old school black metal much in the vain of Mayhem at least in guitar sound. Vocal style from Funeral Dirge is absolutley amazing, sounds like the welps of a...

Armaggedon - Possessed By Satan
With attitude and lyrical themes like this, you would expect totally destructive blasting black metal. Black metal it is, but the guitarriffs are mid-tempo semi-melodic and very standard. Drums are simplistic as well as the vocals screaming hate. If this is what the armageddon sounds like, even what they call "Untermenschen" will survive.
