Heavy Lord - From Cosmos To Chaos

what about a nice trip to Europe, and more particularly to Holland... but don't be afraid we're not setting off to see mills and tulips... Heavy Lord is not really into that, ... not at all indeed! ah ah ... i guess they would be more interested in ancient behemoth vestiges and sabbathian riffing! actually the vox kindda remind me of Phil Anselmo, especially that peculiar husky growling, and the music itself is more akin to Cathedral like bands, that is 70's inspired rock riffs with a massive and heavy sound! a pretty good combination IMO! the album is quite short for that genre as it only last 40 minutes or so and i definitely like that, no endless boring song here, the song writting is just excellent and dynamic, ... a one-off band IMHO, so hope you enjoy! =)

Raging Speedhorn - We Will Be Dead Tomorrow

listen to that racket away in the woods! the benighted guys from Raging Speedhorn sure need some room to play their music!^^ angry riffers hovering between the power ozzing from true rock'n'roll spirit ... almost punk like... and the heavyness of metal .... add on top of that very cool and agressive vox in the line of hardcore singers ...that even turn into guttural death-like vox at times! ... it's like spitting hot blood in the face of your worst enemy ... and better twice than once ... cause there are two vocalists actually! ah ah! To cut it short, they have the attitude and energy of the Hellacopters, and the sound of that good old Godsend ... that is a 70's inspired, grainy, fat and chunky, low pitched guitar sound that seems to linger forever unless it is stopped or deflected into another massive and devastating powerchord! Ride with the devil?? oh yeah.. sure we will! on your bikes warriors! \m/

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/

Rwake - Voices Of Omens (2007)

Rwake is a band from the south of the U.S but they do not play anything connected to country...even loosely!lol Actually their music is very heavy and dark, and rather experimental(or psychedelic!)...a bit like Neurosis's. Well to cut a long story short, if you like old school BM atmosphere(in the vein of Burzum, or Dissection) or stuff like My dying Bride, and fancy at the same time weird sound textures (there are indeed many instrumental parts) with raw and angry vox, DO NOT miss that one, cause it's pretty F##ckin' good! ;)
