Running Wild - Shadowmaker

Genre: Hard Rock/Heavy
Country: Germany
Year: 2012

1. Piece Of The Action
2. Riding On The Tide
3. I am Who I am
4. Black Shadow
5. Locomotive
6. Me & The Boys
7. Shadowmaker
8. Sailing Fire
9. Into The Black
10. Dracula

14th album by Running Wild. Worst cover ever! Worst sound ever! The sound is not at all heavy, on the contrary it is very weak, plastic and hard rock. The album cannot stand next to their older releases (in my opinion it is slightly better than the 'Rogues En Vogue'), but it has some good songs and an excellent hymn 'Dracula', that especially after repetitive listenings they can entertain you. If only the production was more heavier, the album could give more positive results.

The Wretched End - Inroads

Genre: Death/Thrash
Country: Norway
Year: 2012

1. Tyrant Of The Mountain
2. Deathtopian Society
3. Death By Nature
4. Cold Iron Soul
5. The Haunting Ground
6. Fear Propaganda
7. Blackthorn Winter
8. Hunger
9. Throne Renowned Of Old

2nd album by The Wretched End, featuring Samoth (ex-Emperor, ex-Zyklon), Cosmo (Scum) and Nils Fjellström (Dark Funeral, ex-Aeon). The music here is mostly death metal, although it's enriched with enough black metal influences and enough thrash parts here and there. The album is filled with a heavy and somewhat mechanic sound that reinforces the overall cold and dystopian atmosphere.

Impiety - Ravage & Conquer

Genre: Death/Black/Thrash
Country: Singapore
Year: 2012

1. Revelation Decimation
2. Ravage & Conquer
3. Weaponized
4. The Scourge Majesty
5. War Crowned
6. Legacy Of Savagery
7. Salve The Goat
8. Sacrifice (Bathory cover)

With its 8th album, Impiety is presenting us their version of relentless blasting blackened death thrash. The death metal elements that Impiety are known for are a little more subdued with Ravage & Conquer, the album taking a more thrash approach, which is even overshadowing much of the blackened elements. Brutal, technical in times, blasphemic.

Blind Guardian - Follow The Blind

Genre: Speed
Country: Germany
Year: 1989

1. Inquisition
2. Banish From Sanctuary
3. Damned For All Time
4. Follow The Blind
5. Hall Of The King
6. Fast To Madness
7. Beyond The Ice
8. Valhalla
9. Barbara Ann

2nd album by Blind Guardian and my favorite one. Still thrashier and angrier than the sound they'd develop later in their career. A blend between thrash and fantasy-tinged melodic speed metal with the occasional bombastic chorus thrown in. The guitar playing is fast and whipping and the rhythm parts consisting mainly of fast-picked riffs.

Flames - Merciless Slaughter

Genre: Thrash
Country: Greece
Year: 1986


1. Murder
2. Legend
3. Beloved Dead
4. Moorgle
5. Werewolf On The Hunt
6. Cocksuckin' Slave
7. Evil
8. Infidel

2nd album by Flames. With the most extreme cover in greek scene ever, the album functions as something of a bridge between the band's oldest, more traditional material and later pure thrash metal. The music is old-school thrash metal with dirty sound and fast guitars, closer to the american mid '80s thrash metal scene, although the sound does not resemble the sound of any of the groups of that era.

The 2nd album by Those Who Bring The Torture, finds them more groovy and less D-Beat, compared to their debut. The mixture of old school death metal, light grind influences and groove make the album an entertaining listen. Songs range in length between 2 and 4 minutes, movie samples here and there, meaty and chunky production and the performances are spot on.

Acephalix - Deathless Masters

Genre: Death/Crust
Country: U.S.A.
Year: 2012


1. Bastard Self
2. Deathless Master
3. Tomb Of Our Fathers
4. On Wings...
5. Raw Life
6. Blood Of Desire
7. In Arms Of Nothing
8. The Hunger

2nd album by Acephalix. The old-school, filth-encrusted death metal of the album is all throttling intensity, with just the right amount of crustiness. The band injects a very lethal dose of crust punk-like aggression and some blistering tremolo sections that all synthesize together perfectly. There’s a very slight change from their debut, leaving behind some D-Beat elements and becoming more death metal.

Broken Bones - F.O.A.D.

Genre: Punk/Crossover
Country: England
Year: 1986


1. F.O.A.D.
2. Kick Down The Doors
3. Teenage Kamikaze
4. Programme Control
5. S.O.T.O.
6. Missing Link
7. Best Of Both Worlds

3rd album by Broken Bones. The band formed by former Discharge guitarist Tony “Bones” Roberts in 1983. It is arguably their best album, fused the ferocity of debut, with an added sense of ferocity, melody and power, to become of one of the most important 80’s punk/crossover albums. Where the band excelled most, though, was mixing that rough punk attitude with some extremely impressive metal riffing.

8. Rezet To Zero
9. Black Convent
10. The Terror Strikes Back

The 2nd album by Rezet, found them more mature compared to their debut. Old school thrash in a more light version. Their music is pretty complex but not in the way of many other progressive thrash groups. They slowed down compared to their debut, but they put more focus on guitarwork, providing an amazing result.
