CORPSE GARDEN 'Burnt By The Light' Hitting the smack-down sound of Technical Melodic Death Metal is Costa Rica's very own Corpse Garden. Their debut album 'Burnt By The Light' brings out chaotic melodies moulding together with truly rotten guttural vocals and a rapturous stream of blastbeats and outrageous riffs. Taking inspiration from bands like Nile and Cryptopsy, it can be clearly seen why Corpse Garden are making a name for themselves, let alone the band being selected to play at the Wacken Open Air this year on the 1st August, the quintet are sure to achieve greater feats in years to come as they fly the flag for the Costa Rican Metal scene. Make no mistake; this is a band to keep an eye on. [8] RHYS STEVENSON DREADNOUGHT 'Demon' Hailing from Luxembourg, Melodic Black / Thrash Metal mob Dreadnought burst onto the scene with their infused shrieking-vocals of the Darkthrone guild and infuse music of cursed and darkened atmospheric proportions that are related to that of Mayhem as such. Their debut album 'Demon' delivers a melodic and up-beat feel to the gloomy background music and as such conjure up a brilliant new level of sound. This is perhaps the album and band that the Luxembourg Metal scene has been waiting for, one to fly the flag and perhaps blast wide open the doors of the underground to make a name for themselves, with this release now under their belt, this should not be tricky to do. [7.5] RHYS STEVENSON NIR'UM'TUK 'Revering This New Chaos' Sadly a little rushed and well the one-man project (now duo) Nir'um'tuk does manage to deliver a brutal and evil onslaught of Black Metal music but the vocals lack a little clarity or at least proper shriek. However given due that 'Revering This New Chaos' is the first EP by the band, it is a decent enough effort. It is indeed for those fans of the original Black Metal sound, the fast drumming and raw bitter atmosphere that comes with it. But for Nir'um'tuk there is a bit needed to be done to the next release. [5] RHYS STEVENSON _ ENCLAVE 'United Desperation' You know when you come across a band that takes pinches of modern and old classic sounds and meshes them together? Well Enclave do exactly that, taking Slayer-esque vocals and Iron Maiden / Metallica riffs, with the sensational drumming pace found in modern Thrash Metal, this is a classic example of perfection. After all the Austrian's debut album 'United Desperation' deals them justice, with an array of ballsy, riff monstrosity, compositions to dribble over, no wonder they have shared the stage with bands like Gama Bomb, this band's off their rocker. This will not be the last we hear about this lot, they hold all the cards. [10] RHYS STEVENSON FORSAKEN WORLD
'As Time Reflects Our End' Breaking out into the French Metal scene is no easy task, considering the lack of bands making themselves internationally known, but when bands like Forsaken World come out of the depths of the underground and emerge as a new threat to the current scene, resistance is futile. The debut album 'As Time Reflects Our End' delivers a massive explosion in the sound of Kill Chambers and The Dead Lay Waiting and essentially delivers a well conceived premier attempt. With this now under wraps, the sophomore release will be one to watch out for. [9] RHYS STEVENSON
