 | Dead by wednesday, Democracy is dead Essential purchase in the rap hardcore genre. The spoken word/poem 1st track is simply epic. From there in its heads down hyperspeed twin attack vocal delivery from the Ramos bros, Shredding guitars & hardc... read full review |
| Samael, Ceremony Of Opposites Excellent mid pace chugger from the Swiss 4 piece thats a far cry from recent efforts. Heavy on the samples/keyboards can make this brutal album come across a bit gothic at times. Imagine Paradise Lost era ... read full review |

| Face Down, The Twisted Rule The Wicked. Criminally underated band in my opinion. The Swedes keep pretty much the same formula as the roadrunner release from 95 "Mindfield". Think The Haunted and Testament bare knuckle fighting with a few sa... read full review |
