3. Don’t Worry Be Happy (Bobby McFerrin cover)
4. Happy (Pharrell Williams cover)
4-track 'Ep by Trollfest. The group is well known for their energetic chaotic funny music. Maybe this brought them to the idea for this release. An 'Ep with all kind of songs about happiness and heroes, one new original track and three cover songs.

9th album by Lake Of Tears, 10 years after their last one. This is a very dark, bleak, gloomy and atmospheric album which is perfectly suited for the times we currently live in. The songs range from the loud and energetic to the quiet and introspective. If ever there was an album that fully captures what it is like to deal with depression and solitude, then 'Ominous' is definitely the one.

10th album by Nightfall 8 years after their last one. The entire record sums up the gothic/black metal feeling that was obvious on bands that ruled in Greece during the late '90s. If you’re looking for a varied album, one that shifts and embraces different influences – but all the while – knowing their identity, enjoy 'At Night We Prey'.

4th album by Stargazer. The record marks the first output with new drummer Alan Cadman (aka Khronomancer), who provides an excellent barrage of varied beats to the album. The new album offers many aggressive riffs and bass licks, with compositions that are dense but avoid being needlessly complex.

Debut album by Zaratus, a project of Bill Zobolas (Thou Art Lord, Soulskinner, etc.) who handles instrumental duties and Stefan Necroabyssius (Varathron, Katavasia, etc.) who provides vocals. The album is a fitting testament to the power of Greek black metal. Here we find big melodies, thick riffs and oppressive atmosphere.

16th album by Accept. This is the very first Accept album marked by the absence of band’s founding bassist, Peter Baltes. Overall, hot guitar duels, heavy and study bass lines, alongside with Williams untouchable backing up wall, and Tornillo signature voice Accept provided us with a driven, dynamic and powerful album.

Debut album by Crush. This album is totally awesome. It’s a hidden treasure, a well-kept secret of obscure heavy metal. Musically speaking you will hear influences from Omen, early Manowar, Heavy Load, Aria, Cirith Ungol and Manilla Road as well. There are many US power elements and the song structure follows a 80’s logic, without surprises or many tempo changes.

4th album by Aherusia. All tracks are traditional songs rearranged by the band with often new or additional melodies, in a really refreshing and challenging way, making it sound vital and interesting.

4-track 'Ep by Grand Cadaver. The group is born very recently, but the band’s style is anchored in the nineties’ old school death metal. Its members boast their fair share of combined experience. Here we find Mikael Stanne (Dark Tranquillity, ex-In Flames), Stefan Lagergren (ex-Expulsion), Alex Stjernfeldt (Novarupta, Let Them Hang), Daniel Liljekvist (ex-Katatonia) and Christian Jansson (Pagandom).

Jello's career has had a lot of artistic twists and turns, but this release is Jello at his most Jello!

1. Macabre Cabaret
2. A Secret Kiss
3. A Purse Of Gold And Stars
3-track 'Ep by My Dying Bride. Only a few months after their album 'The Ghost Of Orion', the british masters of sorrow and grief delivered the 'Macabre Cabaret' 'Ep. The extended play consists of three lengthy songs that does not differ much from it’s predecessor, but it sounds a little bit more sorrowful and matches the mood with the entire world at the moment.

1. Mucous Fangs
2. Swollen With Pus

Night Hag:

6. Expulsion Of Rancid Phlegm
7. Rotting
Split 'Ep by Cryptic Brood and Night Hag. This is a really solid split from these two bruisers. The brooding death/doom from Cryptic Brood really compliments the caustic death metal from Night Hag. Both acts here provide us with a menacing display of raw power that cannot be denied.

8th album by Crystal Viper. The songs remain consistently engaging and powerful from beginning to end. There’s an equal amount of power and melody to their performance, and a lot of the choruses are so catchy that they’re likely to get stuck in your head for some time.

8. Όλη Μου Η Ζωή Είναι Punk
9. Χαοτική Διαδρομή
Debut album by Sonderkommando. It is a modern call to arms, codified in three-chord street punk. In 26 minutes the songs address themes of urban decay, resistance and revenge. Where Sonderkommando manage to make a difference in an otherwise saturated scene is their fiercely unapologetic anti-Nazi stance that is largely present throughout the record.

8th album by Hatebreed, a hardcore band with the most metalheads fans. The reason is that they have several riffs that are very close to metal while sometimes they are flirting with Slayer sound dangerously, something which is only good. 12 compositions that cut to the chase and create an indivisible and solid final result.

5th album by Ablaze My Sorrow, 5 years after their last one. At the Gates and early In Flames are some clear touchstones, and the band has stayed true to its roots with its fifth release. They offer up a tasty 12-track album that hits all the right notes regarding crunching heaviness and moving melodies.
Vektor:
1. Activate
2. Dead By Dawn

Killer split 'Ep by Vektor and Cryptosis. Vektor are back after a 5-year hiatus with two killer songs of technical thrash. Cryptosis are actually Distillator that changed their name and their sound, moving from your typical ugly thrash to a more progressive and technical one. All songs are totally entertaining, making this split 'Ep a must have for every thrasher!

2nd album by Old Man's Child. There is a fine balance in branching out from raw black metal and combining melodies and even synth work. Ranging from mid-paced, keyboard layered sections to faster paced thrash-esque riffs, the album is straightforward, hard-hitting and made for headbanging.

2nd album by Isolert. This is great, intense, high-speed sometimes, melodic and quite raw at times, excellent black metal. The band combines blackened violence with engaging melody and dark atmosphere. While there are not necessarily any new ideas here, it's always good to hear second wave black metal executed properly.

8th album by Arrayan Path. It finds Arrayan Path at their best, perhaps in their musical prime, offering engaging and entertaining melodic progressive power metal for fans who love the same. The compositions are still varied and multi-faceted and the playing is even better than it has been throughout the years.
