where Pat Kennedy fucked our brains with his infernal guitar soles! Contacts: primaldawn@hotmail.com (EF)

REVENANT - Chaos Paradox
(MCD - Beyond...Prod. - Italy). Strange and interesting dark metal with melodic
black metal atmospheres. The vocals of Deimos are very deep and his performance remember
us a theatral interpretation, in the same type of great DRASTIC, but REVENANT is more
heavy and agressive."La Cute Del Male" singing in Italian is the most impressive
and enigmatic music! Italy is now a cradle of good metal bands, REVENANT is one of them!

creative and agressive, creating atmospheres of gothic melancholy and killing destruction

electronic music with extreme & deep feelings, a kind of Draktechno Cyberpunk, a
killer fusion of hardcore, techno, industrial & metal, with darkness vocals The mind
behind this original second millenium soundtrack is Cian Houchin, vocalist, composer and
writer. The music "Zero" is an extreme nihilistic dark hymn with an strange

name is SPECTER! This CD is very impressive in all aspects: fabulous musicians, complex
compositions, creative melodies, an great sense of prog atmospheres, beautiful lyrics and
cover & too an great CD-Rom video of the song "Temple of Ice". The music is
a mix of prog metal influences: Dream Theater, Stratovarious and Fates warning, but
SPECTER have your own personality, the vocals isn't melodic, and the vocalist invest in a
type of sighs and whispers that give one of the most emblematic items of SPECTER's
personality. All songs are great but my favourites are "Temple of Ice" and
"Elements". Contacts: band- elements@microdin.ru

of south brazilian and that debut CD was waited with anxiety by all its fans.The band
makes an intelligent heavy metal with some death/thrash touches where the personals Nyva
Evaristo's vocals (with echoes of King Diamond) and the guitar duets are the strong point.

Trial of Galileo)" that talk about the church process against Galileo Galilei, this
is my favourite song of the album but I loved very much another songs as the enigmatic
"Far Way"and the deep "Storm". Indispensable for all melodic metal

powerful tracks with a good production, the best moments are: "Harbinger"

power metal revealing for the world names as VIPER, ANGRA, STEEL WARRIOR and more recently
SHADOWS MASK and this THOTEN. The band was already very known by its great shows in the
scenery underground and everybody was anxious to listen that first work. THOTEN overcame
our expectations and created a true masterpiece of power metal, surprising us above all
with the beauty and energy of its music that is composed of refined compositions, replete
of feeling with an excellent instrumental work in the guitars and in the keyboard,
vocalist Renato Tribuzy is one of the big of the style in Brazil and to continue will be
like this also one of the big of the world. The work has Kiko Loureiro's production
(famous guitarist of ANGRA) that still gave more precision for the music of THOTEN helping
to create true power hymns as " Above The Law"(gets to remind JUDAS PRIEST) and
" Altar of Freedom ". The only bad point of the album is the cover art, very
ugly, such a good work it deserved a better cover. Candidate to enter for the list of the

feel the epic atmosphere created by synths, guitars and obscure deep voices, sometimes we
can listen echoes of the undreground french black metal cult band BLUT AUS NORD, but
UMBAKRAIL is more experimental and climatic. The drum machine is used with mastery by the

The band exist since 1993, is strange to notice that is still so unknown because its music
is very inspired and beautiful. The guitar soles of Kieron Tuohey are the melodic mark of
the band. Only 3 good songs, we want to listen more!!!!!! The best music in my opinion is
"Once were Embers", with an emotive violin lament in the beginning. Contacts: http://listen.to/unsilence / unsilence@mailcity.com (EF)

another gore splatter acts like old carcass, the lyrics talk about cadaveric putrrefaction

point of the five compositions, the best is "Impulse to Create". Good release

VAMPIRIA - "Mamong
Mortals"( CD - Icarus - Argentine) MARVELOUS!!! DIVINE!!! This is some words
that we think when listened the debut album "Among The Mortals" from argentinian
masters VAMPIRIA. The band was created in 1997 in the small town of Olavarria, and is a
great revelation of new black darkwave metal, all aspects of the debut album are perfect,
symphonic atmospheres clean/furious vocals, climatic keyboards and creative lyrics
resulting in unforgettable musics as Brother Wolf (The Pathg of Seventh moon) and the epic
"Crown of Crows". The female voices are included with good taste and the guitar
melodies compose an impressive power& doom metal balance of atmospheres. This CD is a
impressive opus with fenomenal melodic work & heavy midtempos. The first influences
are CRADLE OF FILTH and another melodic vampiric/black metal acts by don't think that
VAMPIRIA is an simple clone because this band have great personality and creativity!

WARLUST - The Final War
(MCD - Self Produced ). Warlust described its style how "Terroristic War Metal".
But actually the music that the band does is a competent and agressive true black metal
with strong roots in legends as GORGOROTH, MARDUK, IMMORTAL & DARKTHRONE. The work
presents a great black metal musical knowledge of the band, and we are before an act that
will certainly still be prominence in the scenery black metal. Another good point of
WARLUST is the slow parts of its music where the sharp rifs gives place to dark melodies,
as in insane " Diabolical Hordes ". Contacts: warlust@gmx.net

WHAT'S NEW IN BALTIMORE - A Compilation of Baltimore's Best

it bring 8 progressive -experimental bands from Baltimore's scene, all them very
interesting and this work prove that progressive rock since is stronger in underground

CRIMSON, the band creates an beautiful balance of deep atmospheres with personality and
feeling that leave our souls to the occult earths of the heart. DARK WATER TRANSIT is one
the more experimentals acts of the album, an instrumental trio with jazz & electronic
prog influences, very curious & intense. UNCLE GUT is the most original act of the

stronger jazz influences like some RIO (rock in Opposition) movement bands. THE DARK
