Athanatos--Unholy Union Demotape {Iron Bonehead Rec.}Another killer band from Chile this time it is Athanatos who play a very good style of early death/thrash metal.The guitars are done with some vicious guitar riffs and few solo's mixed in the songs. The drumming is top notch with some really good beats that go from mid-to fast beats .The vocalist does a great job keeping up with the chaotic music.with some gruff screams and death growls.This is a must have for all those who still worship and collect tapes.

Children Of Technology--Future Decay cd,Lp {Hells headbangers Rec.}
Italy's Children Of Technology return after four years with their second full-length.With their cross-over thrashy punk they are one of the best in the scene.The guitars are fast punkish type guitar riffs with some heavier and faster thrash parts entertwined in the music.The drummer is really good with keeping the pace between faster drumming beats and more of a mid-pace range.The vocalist does a good job with the screams and even some deeper vocals.This is a band who knows how to play thrash and punk and do botoh scene's justice.

Moloch--Verwustung cd
This is the new release from the one man band Moloch.Sergi does a great job with the vocals with some very good screams and blackend shrieks.Musically I would say it is heavily influenced by ambient with a strong dose of black metal.If you enjoy early to mid 90's black metal with a lot of ambient and atmosphere blackend metal you should give this band a listen.
Morbidity--Revealed From Ashes cd {Memento Mori}
This is some very good sounding classic death metal from Bangladesh.combing U.S and some European influences together to make it a great debut.The guitarist plays a lot good riffs and solo's mixed in .The drumming is well done and executed with a lot of great drum patterns and talent.the vocalist does a great job of mixing in gruff type of vocals and pure death growls.This is a release all old-school fanatics should pick up.
Open Grave--Fear cd {Regimental Rec.}
New Jersey's Open Grave have unleashed their debut full-length Fear. Black Metal at it finest the biggest change I can hear to the band is they have some keyboards in a few songs .compared to the split cd and demo which was pure black metal.But the keyboards are done very well and works within the new songs.For the long time fans their is still plenty of raging and vicious black metal but also some really well played mid-paced parts with the keyboards.This is a highly recommended release from one of the U.S best black Metal bands
