.

This Greece band really stunned me. This speed metal really kills. I heard them in ATLANTIDA compil. This band was poduced by Andreas "The Wizzard". He plays with drums. Wolfcry was stopped playing, but Andreas gathered all members of group and they are playing again . Wolfcry released  two albums : "The Ivonri tower" and "Power Within". "The Ivonri tower" is their demo cd released mny years before.But "Power within" is their official album .There you can find 10 tracks of great speed metal. My favourite song was "The Lonely Bards Song". I recommend you to get their new album. You will not be disappointed.

                       Obtest

This band is really great. Very good Black Metal. This band is from my country -Lithuania. Obtest released two albums : "Tukstantmetis" and "Auka Seniems Dievams". This is written in my language. This how it looks translated in English : "Millennium" and "Offering to the ancient gods". This band is really popular in Lithuania.

                 Ruination

This is one more band from Lithuania. They play melodic metal .Ruination released two albums : "Ruination" ,"Xura". "Xura" is their new album released in 2001. This band is really popular in Lituania. People who don't like Metal music with pleasure listens them. I think that you too will like them.

                   Ugnelakis vs. Kulgrinda

Very good project from Lithuania. Two Lithuanian bands joined together and made a very interesting project. UGNELAKIS- is a Black metal band and KULGRINDA is a folk chorus .All songs are about Lithuanian antiquity .Texts are in Lithuanian language too. People who like  black metal with folk insertions, will like it very much.

           Scent of Death "Entangled in hate"

This is first album of a new band from Galicia,Spain. Fast and brutal metal that they play is not for me.Quality of sound is great , CD was recorded in Taller de Musica, Ourense ,Spain . Cover artwork is made by Jaime Gago and Bernardo(guitars,vocals) and printed on good quality paper. -Death is so sure to win... that gives one life of advantage(Scent of Death)-

        Mourning Beloveth "Dust"

Mourning Beloveth began in winter 1992 but it wasn't until 1996 that recorded theit first ,untitled ,demo with Darren(vocals), Frank(guitar), Brian(bass)Tim(drums).And now they released their new album called "Dust"."Dust is a mixture of old and new songs and this creates some of the heaviest and most melancholic music ever.I think that these 4 Irish guys playing Doom/Death metal will made a nice career.

           Abaddon Incarnate - "Nadir"

Turned on my amplifier and was amazed by awesome sound. Grinding power, brutality, speed. That sound has something inside and that something turns on. For a long time I was waiting for something like this to show up here. I'm tired of unquality, non technical, pretending to be brutal sound, I'm tired of to melodic sounds. Abaddon Incarnate with their Nadir remind me of early Carcass: brutality, grinding sound, two different vocals. Similarities end here. Technique, studio sounds and production are quite different.

Nadir contains 24 tracks. If you think that they all sound the same and are borring, you are very wrong. You don't wait for album to finish, to listen to your other songs, you just want more and more. Some tracks are melodic, but they are never whimpy, just powerful. Get this CD if you haven't and experience once again technical, speedy and brutal sound you love so much.

     DAEMONLORD "The Sign (Key of the underworld...Pt.1)" CD

Before band was called DEMONLORD, but as you may gues many bands have such name, so it was changed into DAEMONLORD. CD contains intro +9 tracks and outro. CD length is about 33 minutes. Aggressive black/death metal. Their previous releases was more melodic.
