Moonstone Project – Rebel On The Run(2009)

Someone might say that music is like food. You have a favorite food but if you eat the same thing for days you will hate it! Everyone needs a change. So after being bombarded with doom and "gothic" Metal bands, I wanted a change. And this second album of MOONSTONE PROJECT came like a blessing! This project is the child of Italian guitar player Matt Filippini. In 2006 their debut album "Time To Take A Stand" was released. Filippini wrote the whole album with a little help from...

Dream Evil-In The Night(2010)

Fifth full album for devoted Euro-power metallers DREAM EVIL, and what we have here is a known recipe, closely followed and embellished with lots of talent and skill. DREAM EVIL have come a long way to establish themselves in an already crowded genre, and what one hears in “In The Night” is a mature band that plays power metal so confidently as if it had been around since the 80's. “In The Night” is old school metal played in the new millennium by a band that knows very well what...

Dodsferd-Suicide and the Rest of Your Kind Will Follow(2009)

Greece's favorite hate-spewing machine is at it again.  Dodsferd is Wrath, and he lets you know it on every album, and the newest album Suicide and the Rest of Your Kind Will Follow continues that tradition.  However, it isn't what I expected, it's even better than that. Suicide and the Rest of Your Kind Will Follow takes a decided dark turn into the world of epic blackened doom metal, with only two songs making up the 36 minutes that the album has on there.  Taking a break from the...

Fear Factory-Mechanize(2010)

After a long road from 2005's Transgression, Fear Factory have resurfaced once more to give us a new lethal dose of industrial discipline. This mutated version of FF only had one thing in mind and that was to erase the last 8 years as if they never happened, Burton C. Bell at some point claiming he lost interest in heavy music pretty much signalled what could have been the end for the band but it was thanks to the newly reconciliation between him and long time co-founding guitarist Dino...

HIM-Screamworks: Love In Theory And Practice (2010)

’I am scared to death to fall in love,’ admits HIM's front man Ville Valo on second track “Scared To Death”. To understand the irony of that statement, one must be familiar with HIM and have had listened to some of the band’s previous albums from the past. All throughout their career as a band, Finnish rockers HIM have crafted albums that all center around the lyrical subjects of darkness, vampires, and love. With varying ways as to how they approach each album musically, whether...
