Gorguts - Colored Sands

6. Enemies Of Compassion
7. Ember's Voice
8. Absconders
9. Reduced To Silence

5th album by Gorguts, 12 years after their last one and with guitarist/vocalist Luc Lemay, the only original member, recruiting bassist Colin Marston (Dysrhythmia,etc.), guitarist Kevin Hufnagel (Dysrhythmia,etc.) and drummer John Longstreth (Origin,etc.). Each song masterfully builds up atmospheres full of dread and discomfort! It’s technical enough and will please any musician, but is a fun enough listen for those of us who just want to hear something that crushes.

5th album by Protector, 20 years after their last one. With the original vocalist, Martin Missy, and the rest members coming from Sweden, the group delivers a very barbaric version of thrash metal. The vocals are almost death metal in nature while the backing band-mates are keen to keep things thrashing along at a nice pace. Dry sound, crispy razor-like guitars and a flirt with death metal.

4th album by Savatage, that came to fix the ''problems'', created with their 3rd mediocre one. It was the starting point in the band’s gradual evolution from a more traditional '80s metal band into a more progressive metal band. The whole record flows really well and not a moment feels wasted or out of place. A classic album indeed.

The traditional mournful style of the group, quite melancholic, epic doom is surprisingly brilliant and the concept works to perfection. The superb and unique vocal delivery combined with the riffing, make this release a real masterpiece.

Echtra - Sky Burial

Genre: Drone/Ambient/Black
Country: U.S.A.
Year: 2013




1. Sky Burial 1
2. Sky Burial 2

3rd album by Echtra, the solo project of Echtra, ex-member of Threnos (pioneers in cascadian black metal scene) and member of Fauna. It is more based on ambient and atmosphere and one can say on stripped down black metal. There are a lot of tremolo passages and really slow drum parts combined with acoustic guitars and chants, in 2 songs clocking both 23 minutes.

1. Switch

Great 6-song 'Ep by Enabler. Here, the group is demonstrating more hardcorish skills compared to the previous releases. The metallic sound and some riffing is still here, but they are almost buried under the crossover/hardcore aesthetics.

A mix of second wave black metal and love for Bathory. The very harsh black metal vocals are still here, but there seems to be more common use of cleaner vocals as well.
