Jupiter

It will be a relief for many fans of ATHEIST's first three seminal albums — "Piece of Time", "Unquestionable Presence" and "Elements" – that comeback album "Jupiter" sounds pretty much what one would expect ATHEIST to sound like in 2010. Not that "Jupiter" is the next step forward from the extraterr...

In Dreams

It is no secret that a number of bands on the Sumerian roster have been largely responsible for the ascendance of the label's status from "just under the radar" to "gold standard for new school tech-metal" (or thereabouts); THE FACELESS, BORN OF OSIRIS, and VEIL OF MAYA, to name three of the biggies...

Dawn of Winter

A diamond in the rough, a previously undiscovered gem… Pick a cliché, what matters in the end is that OBSCURE INFINITY's "Dawn of Winter" is one of the best death metal releases of 2010, old school or otherwise. This is a group that gets it right on numerous levels and leaves an impression that last...

Review

...Of War

It is not for lack for trying that "…Of War" falls flat and ends up a middling demonstration of trimmings-and-all folk metal. It is the lack of compelling songwriting, as well as a frustrating degree of disjointedness in the arrangements. What one is left with is an album that is long on ambition an...
