Soulrest - Pathological Processes (1997)

welcome to Ukraine where Soulrest will be happy to entertain you! this is quite an old album ...10 years already! (i think it's their demo...doesn't sound like an album to me..more like self produced!lol) and i have no idea if they did anything else...cause i believe they have disbanded! too bad cause they style was cool for sure, and interesting as well! the vox are borderline between black and death metal, more like BM to me, that is no deep low pitched growling but rather a husky rawky one, just like their music which is not so much DM IMHO, as it sounds thrashy and speedy (like the crown/crown of thorns' early stuff)...but they are apparently labelled as MDM so as i'm bad at labelling i used that tag! ah ah!...well their song are really well composed, they even use a keyboard to create powerful and grandiose atmospheres that may even remind you of good old emperor at times, ...and didn't fall into the trap of overusing it!lol a pretty cool demo which would have deserve a real production, IMO...enjoy! \m/

Leftöver Crack - Mediocre Generica 2001

Leftöver Crack comes from N.Y.C and formed at the beginning of 2000 (or 2001 maybe)from the breaking up of different bands. their style is pretty cool and though i labeled it ska punk, it's sometimes more akin to hardcore or deeply angry punk rock indeed! ah ah! but they also play some r'n'r stuff in the old style (and even use piano at times!!!) ...so they are eclectic enough in the end ....and that pretty good! Perhaps you've heard of their latest album called "Fuсk World Trade" with a nice pic of the collapsing towers! it was quite a contentious one! ah ah! but that's what punk is all about! enjoy!

Devilica - 11 11 [2006]

This is some kind of demo (or it's a MCD) i guess, but this band is pretty good IMO, they play rough metal and incorporated quite a lot of different style in their music. They uses noises as well as very percussive riffing, melodical parts, and even some clear vocals!well, the whole thing is highly enjoyable i believe! (well to me at least! ah ah!) it's pretty difficult to give you an idea of their music as each track is always rather different from the next...or the previous! but they are somewhat in the style The Sawtooth Grin or Meshuggah....hope you like it! =)

HEADLINE - Escape 1997

Yes you read well, i played power metal!lol (shame on me! the devil'll kick my ass for that! ah ah!) well Headline i believe is pretty unknown! no wonder they are french!...perhaps they are famous in TW as many unknown French band manage to get famous there! actually i bought that one quite a while ago, about 10 years or so perhaps (it's their first album)! cause the guitarist of that band is pretty good and comes up with catchy riffs and hot leads (he plays a 7-strings)...i must admit i don't like their singer much ...yet it's a female!...but she's eons away from the sweet voices of Asian chicks!lol ... well the album is rather good anyway, she's not so horrible! the one i have is a collector edition so if you want the other CD played (acoustic version of these songs) ask me ...and it's done! =) enjoy!

D - Tafel Anatomie (2006)

well, not far from you, dwells a band called with just one letter! ah ah pretty short name indeed, it's "D" that comes from Japan! no idea why they chose D whatsoever!lol they play r'n'r in the classic Japanese style..that is very well composed, produced..whatever, there's not much to criticize in that respect...whether you'll like the album or not has more to do with your taste than anything else! but to me it's just funky, full of energy, with even a Spanish touch at times, the vocalist is also awesome...i don't speak Japanese but it's great to listen to him anyway...in one word ...brilliant! enjoy!

Latexxx Teens - Moloko And Ultraviolance [EP] (2006)

Latexxx Teens (also LXT) is an industrial band from Italy (Rome) which consist in 4 people. they are to me the direct heir of German band KMFDM, in the sense that their industrial metal is really in the same line, a sort of futuristic punk music. Otherwise these two bands don't have that much in common, ...no wonder, given the time difference between them...but in both cases it's dark, fast and aggressive...which is all i ask about industrial!lol this is an album which i like quite a lot so i hope you'll enjoy it as much as i do! \m/

Slander - Fings To Fix 2004

Slander is a band from Brazil (Curitiba, south of Brazil)and i guess they are kindda unknown to the world!! too bad they disbanded in 2005 cause their music is pretty cool and fun! they have a very eclectic style that goes from metal, to funky and rock stuff from the 70's! coming from Brazil, the rhythm are especially interesting on that record ...and no wonder, at times you might feels it sounds a bit Sepultura-esque (as it is one of the first band that promoted that kind of rhythm)... music wise this band also recall Faith No More owing to the creative aspect of its music! =) cool album IMO! enjoy!

The Sword - Age of Winters (2006)

This band is not that famous but you might have heard about them already, they are from Texas and believe it or not this album stands as some sort of demo!...well if you've never come across that band, then you're pretty likely to like 'em as they play a sorta old heavy metal / doom style , ...recalls Black Sabbath to my mind actually (but it sounds modern whatsoever!)...the album is really groovy and chuggy and i found it pretty good! it's definitely one of the best i heard in the style so far...powerful, melodic, with great drumming...this band stand poised like a tough warrior that won't be easily defeated! as their moniker suggests they are axe masters, so don't hold back your blows.... \m/

[LPP] Diskord - Doomscapes (2007)

well, what about an underground party? cause i guess Diskord won't play anywhere else!lol i didn't think to play that one in the first place indeed, cause it's been pretty soft till now.... but well i couldn't resist! ah ah! grindcore is definitely the chink in my armor! so Diskort plays a mix of 硬核, 死亡金属, 碾核 and they added very cool experimentation in their music ... i don't know much about the musicians playing in that band but by listening to them, you can bet their are all quite talented and certainly highly proficient at what they are doing! it's not that violent actually (no typical blastbeat stuff) and it's a pretty interesting album... so don't miss it!
