The switches are sudden and the styles are generally quite separate from each other.

Blut Aus Nord - 777 The Desanctification


Genre: Atm. Black
Country: France
Year: 2011


1. Epitome VII
2. Epitome VIII
3. Epitome IX
4. Epitome X
5. Epitome XI
6. Epitome XII
7. Epitome XIII







9th album by Blut Aus Nord, the second part of their "777" trilogy follows clearly the stylistic path set by its predecessor. This album is less chaotic and less raw than its predecessor. An eerie atmosphere is prevalent, sometimes mesmerizing and sometimes nightmarish, created by the guttural chants of Vindval, the haunting keyboards and electronics and almost ritualistic rhythms.

I - Between Two Worlds


Genre: Heavy/Black
Country: Norway
Year: 2006

1. The Storm I Ride
2. Warriors
3. Between Two Worlds
4. Battalions
5. Mountains
6. Days Of North Winds
7. Far Beyond The Quiet
8. Cursed We Are







Debut album by I, a project consisting of Abbath (Immortal), TC King (Ov Hell, Sahg), Armagedda (Demonaz) and Ice Dale(Demonaz, Enslaved, Ov Hell). They play some slow, melodic riffs, simplistic drums and groovish bass lines. Abbath delivers similar vocals as he does in Immortal, except slowed down, with a Lemmy or even Rob Miller of Amebix fame twist. Though the majority of the songs are slower in pace and more simplistic than other offerings from these band members, the delivery is solid.

Destruction - Infernal Overkill


Genre: Thrash
Country: Germany
Year: 1985


1. Invincible Force
2. Death Trap
3. The Ritual
4. Tormentor
5. Bestial Invasion
6. Thrash Attack
7. Antichrist
8. Black Death






Debut album by Destruction. Compositionally and performance wise, Infernal Overkill was a huge step up from the earlier ‘Sentence of Death’ EP. The group is unbelievably strong and plays very compact, even if the production doesn’t help. There are many thrash classic songs in here and the whole album was truly influential for many future bands.

Death Angel - Frolic Through The Park


Genre: Exper. Thrash
Country: U.S.A.
Year: 1988

1. 3rd Floor
2. Road Mutants
3. Why You Do This
4. Bored
5. Confused
6. Guilty Of Innocence
7. Open Up
8. Shores Of Sin
9. Cold Gin (Kiss cover)
10. Mind Rape





Death Angel's 2nd album was totally different from the straightforward thrashing of The Ultra-Violence and quite atypical for a thrash metal album. It is Death Angel at their most experimental and complex, while still keeping the raw energy of their youth. Frolic Through The Park is a highly experimental release, containing a diversity of metal, funk and whatever influences mixed together into a unique experience.

Forgotten Woods - As The Wolves Gather


Genre: Black
Country: Norway
Year: 1994

1. Eclipsed
2. As the Wolves Gather
3. In My Darkest Visions
4. Winter
5. Grip Of Frost
6. Dimension Of The Blackest Dark
7. Svartedauden
8. Through Dark And Forgotten Valleys






Debut album by Forgotten Woods. All of the songs are mid-paced black metal and this better enables the band to create the gloomy and depressive feeling that they are going for. Vocally the shrieks and screams are processed through an echo that is well executed and effective.  The vocal performance adds to the sense of dread and subservience. A true, but forgotten masterpiece!

Country: Sweden
Year: 1995

1. A Foreign Road

4. Sweetwater
5. Life's But A Dream
6. Headstones

8. Burn Fire Burn
9. The Path Of The Gods (Upon The Highest Mountain - Part 2)





It is Lake of Tears' 2nd release and they had already created their own style, a mixture of gothic, doom, acoustic and melancholy. Brennare used a much cleaner voice on this record. Abandoning their death metal affectations almost completely , Lake of Tears take a more traditional metal approach on Headstones.

Intense - The Shape Of Rage


Genre: Heavy/Power
Country: England
Year: 2011

3. One Man's Word
4. For The Fallen
5. Save Me From Myself
6. Lie
7. Haunted
8. Skull Of Sidon II (The Final Stand)
9. The Shape Of Rage





3rd album by Intense. It is a blistering platter of old school metal mixing heavy, speed and power metal in a melodic wrapper, pushed by a driving rhythm section and twin guitar attack. They have a lot of classical, precise and fast played gallop-riffs in their songs, reminding Iced Earth. There are very dominant and even mandatory Iron Maiden influences, which can be recognised clearly in some twin-guitar-passages.

Sodom - Persecution Mania


Genre: Thrash
Country: Germany
Year: 1987

1. Nuclear Winter
2. Electrocution
3. Iron Fist (Motorhead cover)
4. Persecution Mania
5. Enchanted Land
6. Procession To Golgatha
7. Christ Passion
8. Conjuration
9. Bombenhagel






2nd full length album by Sodom. After their very primitive beginnings, Sodom started to gain some momentum with Persecution Mania. Here we have straightforward, slightly repetitive riffs that make the album sound pretty consistent and focused. The band's gas mask gunner mascot had arrived and their obsession with warfare was in full swing, a motif they'd carry through many albums.

A hardcore band that play a melodic style of d-beat/crust/punk genre. They're a dirty sounding hardcore band with melodies and apocalyptic lyrics. The album is a powerhouse of melody, brooding darkness and hard hitting d-beat hardcore.
