"Fool" is the second full length studio album from Darkyra Black. The album is a concept about the people seen come and go at the fountain of wishes, the fountain built for kings and queens of the past. The songs are a behind the scenes look into their lives and their foolish obsessions.The album begins with the first section 'Fools of the past' which is centred around the indiscretions of royalty. The next couple of songs 'Where will I be' and 'Bleed' are from are an insight into what is happening in the observers live in present time. The songs in the section, 'Faces by the fountain' are from the observations made of the different individual she has seen at the fountain and the last couple of songs are a summary tying everything together.
Again another album with a strong Cinematic feel, blending Symphonic Prog and Epic Metal, modern but also capturing the feel of Rock and Metal favorites from the 70's. Baroque influences blended with Far Eastern Elements, a passionate vocal delivery and some epic surprises. Track #3 'Truth or Dare' features the bass work of 'demolition man', Tony Dolan (M-Pire of Evil, x Venom).

Guy, frontman of Reject The Sickness comments on the video: "The video of My Agony was made by Malika Maria AtwOrk (Malika does visuals on bigger live shows). The lyrics of the song discribes the inner fight of a trauma after molestation. The video shows the mind-struggle of the victim. Pain, suffering, hope, redemption, revenge..."

Grab your axe and get ready to trek the Canadian wilderness alongside THE MOUNTAIN MAN as they set free their debut EP ‘Bloodlust’ into the wild. The Sasquatch metallers have joined forces with PureGrainAudio.com.
NECRONOMICON have a well-earned reputation for quality by releasing material only when ready and satisfied with the outcome ever since their demo entitled "Morbid Ritual" (1992) firmly established their name within the underground. "The Silver Key" EP (1996) led to mainstream recognition on a national level, but their debut album "Pharaoh Of Gods" (1999) and the sophomore "The Sacred Medicines" (2003) did even more to establish the band as a household name in Canada. "Return Of The Witch" (2010) marked the international break-through for NECRONOMICON, and saw them performing at prestigious festivals such as Inferno (Norway), Ragnarok (Germany), and the Barge To Hell metal cruise among others, while sharing stages with acts such as CRADLE OF FILTH, DIMMU BORGIR, BEHEMOTH, and MORBID ANGEL, to name but a few. Their steady advance around the globe grew considerably in impact by their next full-length "Rise Of The Elder Ones" (2013). Now NECRONOMICON are more than ready for the next step with 'Advent Of The Human God', their latest brutal assaulting soundtrack now available via Season of Mist for North America as of March 25th.

Wrocławski Grimlord jest na scenie już 17 lat. Na swoim koncie ma już pięć dem, album koncertowy a "V-Column" to trzecie i na ten moment ostatnie pełnowymiarowe wydawnictwo. Zawiera 30 minut melodyjnego heavy metalu utrzymanego w mrocznym klimacie, na który w dużej mierze wpływa agresywna barwa głosu wokalisty oraz ciekawie ustawione brzmienie gitar. Momentami pojawiają się również klawisze, które mają także swoje solowe fragmenty. Niestety są na tym albumie elementy, kładące się cieniem na całokształt. Po pierwsze perkusja - albo została striggerowana, albo jest to automat perkusyjny, co byłoby dziwne, gdyż w składzie wymienieni są dwaj perkusiści. Nie pomaga też produkcja i miks płyty. Kawałek "King Is Dead..." nagle się urywa, ale brzmi to tak, jakby w połowie sola ktoś po prostu przykręcił gałkę. Podobny zabieg występuje w "Superconscious" a na dodatek występuje niezrozumiały dla mnie motyw śpiewania "na na na"wraz z gitarową solówką. Najbardziej przypadł mi do gustu jeden z dwóch instrumentalnych utworów "March Again", ale po zespole z takim stażem oczekiwałbym więcej. Szkoda, naprawdę szkoda.
Haiduk to jednoosobowy projekt kanadyjskiego gitarzysty serbskiego pochodzenia Luka Milojica. Na swoim koncie ma on wydane w 2010 demo "Plagueswept" oraz debiutancki album z 2012 "Spellbook" natomiast w 2015 roku ukazała się druga płyta "Demonicon". Przede wszystkim jest to album koncepcyjny, na którym w 9 utworach przedstawione jest 9 demonów zamieszkujących Octavię, podziemny świat królestwa Callost, krainy fantazy wymyślonej przez Luke. Więcej informacji o królestwie i jego mapę można znaleźć na wkładce do płyty. Poczet demonów zilustrowany jest muzyką, którą można określić jako blackend metal z thrashowymi wpływami. W riffach można usłyszeć thrashową finezję, death metalowy ciężar i black metalowy jad. Utwory są utrzymane raczej w szybkich tempach. Wokale Luki brzmią, jakby pochodziły spod ziemi bądź z otchłani a na dodatek mają złowrogi, demoniczny wydźwięki. Niestety nie usłyszymy ich wiele na tym wydawnictwie, ze względu na bardzo krótkie teksty np.: są kawałki z tylko dwoma linijkami tekstu. Szkoda, że w nagraniach nie wziął udziału perkusista. Materiał brzmiałby wtedy ciężej.
