Dylath-Leen - Insecure (2005)

In the line of strange bands, i have a follow up, called DL! they come from France and believe it or not when you listen to their stuff but the singer is actually a girl...with such a sweet voice that she carries me as far away as my beloved poppy girlies! ah ah! but better not get too much on her nerve i guess, unless you want your fat ass wooped bad cause she's pretty tough! ^^ music wise i reckon it is something like Deathcore or NU thrash (if there is such a thing!) but ... i know fuckall about genres so perhaps i'm wrong! anyway, inside the pandora box are chunky melodical guiatr riffs, black/death/(female)clean vox, pounding drum assaults and a blasting bouncy bass .... what else would you ask for!?? let me guess...1000$ and a bl£* joX perhaps!! ah ah \m/

Embers - The Gods Are Traitors (2007)

Before the war starts, i play that MDM band which i find rather good. To me the label MDM has always seemed like an heresy in itself....a bit like christian black metal!...WTF i always say to myself??? why not "happy suicidal doom" with "blarring noiseless scream"?!...some people read way too much poetry in this world! i wish i could tag my footprint on their butt like their tag their "commercial" rubbish to the music i like! ah ah! Anyway, Embers' style is nothing really new, but it's very well crafted and executed... there are plenty of breakdowns and mosh parts, cool "leads" once and a while.... the only thing nagging at me is that i sometimes find the snare drum to be
a bit weak for that style, i like it chunky and stout!...but that has more to do with the production than anything else! no other complaint otherwise! have fun! ;)

PS: this is not the cover at all but i like the picture! lol

Julie Laughs Nomore - From the Mist Of The Ruins [1999]

Julie Laughs Nomore comes from Sweden and despite the quality of their music they are not very well known i guess...as it's pretty hard to find their stuff in any store! well this band is really good cause it combined brutality and more melodic part, but actually even the brutal parts are quite melodic and the melodic one rather brutal! =)... but there are passages when it's closer to Blind Guardians or some Vikling Metal band than typical Death Metal!lol however these passages really fit into the music and are just like (very!) brief interludes in a way, they do not disrupt the song at all and after a few seconds, they are back in DM again (well as i told you it was never to far away anyway!! ah ah) Their album is truly excellent from beginning to end and i recommand it warmly!

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/
