Killer debut album by Livstid. They've lost the grind elements of their earlier Ep and split, but they still kill. Short to the point songs that rarely clock above the 2-minute mark. There is more than enough variation between the songs due to small nuances in the riffs and speeds. Grinding moments that bring in mind Nasum, melodies that remind old black metal bands, crusty atmosphere and non-stop D-beat filthiness!

3rd album by Milking The Goatmachine, for a 3rd consecutive year. The grind moments are lesser this time, giving more space for a grooving standard-type death metal, and less brutal and extreme. The humour of the band seems to be never ending and furthermore is exactly what their fans expect. The production is excellent, so it sounds nice and fat.

Vektor - Outer Isolation


Genre: Progr. Techn. Thrash
Country: U.S.A.
Year: 2011

1. Cosmic Cortex
2. Echoless Chamber
3. Dying World
4. Tetrastructural Minds
5. Venus Project
6. Dark Creations, Dead Creators
7. Fast Paced Society
8. Outer Isolation






2nd album by Vektor. They continue playing thrash with  all the characteristics of the style. There are the sharp guitar riffs, the screaming vocals and the tight rhythm section, but on the other hand there's plenty of melody and complexity on the songs, that approaches the borders of progressive. The end product is much more aggressive, than their previous releases and often steps fully into blackened thrash. The production is excellent, clear enough to show every detail of the album, but also preserving the raw and old-fashioned feeling of the music.
