KERECSENSÓLYOM 'Aquileia Ostroma' NAIL Hailing from Hungary, Symphonic Folksters KerecsenSólyom savaged the countryside and woods to contain natural elements in order to release their debut full length album 'Aquileia Ostroma' released in 2010. Mixing Hungarian lyrics with a myriad of riffs, solos and drum beats to create a dynamic musical world of traditional Hungarian Folk music with the harshness of Metal music. KerecsenSólyom serve as Hungary's answer to Russia's Arkona and develop their own sound, one full of Slavic atmosphere traits and Magyar tranquility. [8] RHYS STEVENSON DEHUMANIZER 'Prelude To Destruction' Speeding across the Arizona desert in an American lorry is Dehumanizer, the latest Deathrash Metal quartet to come out of the USA and into the world of Metal music. With a tank-load of fury loaded in the drums nothing slows these beasts down, not even the highway patrol from the cannonball run. Cranial damage is soon to be expected from the clarity of this music, percussive and neatly organized spring to mind on the 'Prelude To Destruction', we don't know what the aftermath will be, but rest assured it won't be pretty. [7.5] RHYS STEVENSON HELLSPAWN 'Child Of Hell' 2010 and a new dawn of Extreme Metal was created in Poland, giving birth to Hellspawn's latest album 'Child Of Hell'. The Polish Death Metal quartet emanates the meaning of extremity and sticks it on the underlying foundation of brutal insanity. Pounding drumming, rampant riffs and spine-spanking vocals elaborate to commence the total depletion of hearing in phantasmal style, a delusional paradox of early Behemoth and latter Death Metal. For Hellspawn, this is more than music, this is much more than a Death Metal release, it is their 'Child Of Hell'. [8] RHYS STEVENSON AS HEART'S BLEEDING 'Existence' NAIL Hungarian Metalcore posse As Heart's Bleeding unleashed a brutal onslaught of Hardcore Metal in 2009 with their album 'Existence', collecting a flurry of fast-flowing riffs, beats and extreme vocals, the quintet tear apart any living threat to the Hungarian Metal scene and install a Garrison-load of murderous tracks. Thinking Metalcore was emo-tinged with bands like Asking Alexandria was a misconception, for this band bring the new meaning of Metalcore, right back to it's very 'Existence', a true milestone in the Hungarian Metal Scene. [8] RHYS STEVENSON EVENTIDE 'The Beast & The Machine' It's a common trait, Sweden and the many variations of Death Metal, but it just all sounds the same, Eventide somewhat proves this but with an added element of Progressive Metal. Whipping up a storm in 2010 with their second album 'The Beast & The Machine', the mob from downtown Stockholm whack up the amps in brutal and fearful style and immaculately organize a wave of sonic wave destruction. Forget beauty and the beast, this is 'The Beast & The Machine'. [7] RHYS STEVENSON THE MEADS OF ASPHODEL OLD CORPSE ROAD 'The Bones Of This Land Are Not Speechless/English Black Punk Metal' GOD REAH Two of the most revered Black Metal bands in England come together to wield a split release worthy of a place on any Black Metal fans shelf. Hertfordshire Metallers The Meads Of Asphodel work alongside North Eastern group Old Corpse Road, both with British traditions in common and a sense for Extreme Metal. Their combined effort 'The Bones Of This Land Are Not Speechless/English Black Punk Metal' which saw its release in 2010 culminates a work of art beyond mere Anglo-Saxon history. The Irish have Celtic Metal, but now thanks to these pioneers, the English have Anglo-Saxon Metal. [8] / [7.5] RHYS STEVENSON MYHRDING 'Myhrding' UNEXPLODED Arising from the shadow grounds of the Swedish woods comes the latest Black Metal band to storm the underground in evil fashion, Myhrding a Swedish Black Metal quintet from Jönköping uncovers true original compositions and adapt it fit the lyrical content of Norse Paganism, somewhat a bold move towards Viking Black Metal, but with an assailant style of a debut self-titled EP released this year, Myhrding are looking promising in many ways. [8] RHYS STEVENSON HIM
'Venus Doom' SIRE Going back to 2007, HIM (His Infernal Majesty) released their sixth adventurous outing in the form of their full-length album 'Venus Doom', putting together the traditional darkness found in the Finnish suburbs with the intricacy of modern metal/rock. With a Metallica-like influence and Gothic rock held at the helm of HIM's core music, the quintet from Helsinki came round again to deliver another loving and emotional sermon of pure Love Metal, like 'Venus Doom'.
