Pedigree - Growing Apart
Embrace the power and devestation from this well established Estonian outfit. Pedigree has been kicking up dust in the underground since 1993. A unique band in the sense of how they mix different emotional aspects of music.

DSK - Oppressed/Deformed
Death Metal, with hardcore wrapped into it. Killer fucking album! Oppressed/Deformed, is an explosive, angry, spontaneous album. the general feeling is one that the title implies. One of being oppressed, and confined and finally acting out in hate. Raw and set to tear the house apart.... put Napalm Death and Entombed on the stage at the same t...

Hanging Garden - Inherit The Eden
Hanging Garden have compiled 8 songs that are somber, relaxing, and very listenable.

"Inherit The Eden" was a suprisingly enjoyable release full of mesmorizing sound scape...

Toxik - Think This / World Circus
These 2 classic albums were originally release on Roadrunner Records. "World Circus" in 1987 and "Think This" in 1989. Toxik formed in 1985 and disbanded in 1992. Both these records are stellar examples of Music before its time. The music scene caught up to Toxik around1995. These are awsome records that bring back so much Brutalisim from my youth,...

Loits - Must Album
Dirty, mid paced, sludgy, dark metal! Well at least thats what it feels like. The presentation of the music and vocals has a confining and depressive kind of vibe about it. Almost like all hope had been lost. Quality production bring every note and every verse to life, amplifying the exempliary musicianship of Lotis as a band. From my perspective,...

Memoria - The Midnight Ball
All acoustic recording, Memoria have produced a record that may not be Brutal, but most certianly is a pleasure to listen too. Stunning musicianship thoughout each song. Phrases laced with passion and grace, played in the timeless traditions of the founding mothers and fathers of Rock music. Despite that all instruments are organic, this is not...
