Genre: Death
Country: Sweden
Year: 1995

1. Blinded By Fear

4. Under A Serpent Sun

At the Gates’ swansong 4th effort, has been the introduction for death metal for countless fans, while also being the inspiration and direct influence on much of the modern death metal music scene. The stand-out sound is an incredible, monstrous guitar tone, unleashed by Anders Bjorler and Martin Larsson. They split-up shortly after the release of this album and despite several reunions for live performances, the band members have vowed not to record another album.

Morbid Angel - Covenant


Genre: Death
Country: U.S.A.
Year: 1993

1. Rapture
2. Pain Divine
3. World Of Shit (The Promised Land)
4. Vengeance Is Mine
5. Lion's Den
6. Blood On My Hands
7. Angel Of Disease
8. Sworn To The Black
9. Nar Mattaru
10. God Of Emptiness




3rd album by Morbid Angel. Death metal done at its very best. Here one can hear to excellent songwriting, amazing riffs with a churning sound accompanied with David Vincent’s awesome snarls. Trey Azagthoth plays complicated, heavily detuned riffs, some with a lightning-fast picking style and others in a slower groove. Drummer Pete Sandoval is one of the genre's fastest and he proves it.

Alestorm - Back Through Time


Genre: Power/Folk
Country: Scotland
Year: 2011

1. Back Through Time
2. Shipwrecked
3. The Sunk’n Norwegian
4. Midget Saw
5. Buckfast Powersmash
6. Scraping The Barrel
7. Rum
8. Swashbuckled
9. Rumpelkombo
10. Barrett’s Privateers
11. Death Throes Of The Terrorsquid



3rd album by Alestorm. It is a typical epic metal album with a pirate theme, while the band brings out influences from their Scottish folk music making the whole “experiment” worth listening to. Track no 6 is about the criticism of their lyrics, style, attitude reminding Running Wild. Aside from an almost complete lack of progression(who cares?) and a bit of rehashing from older albums, this is a wholly enjoyable album.

A great comeback by the death/thrash pioneers!!
