Balfor--Black Serpent  Rising  cd  {Drakkar  Prod.}
Ukraine's  Barbaric  black  metal  band  Balfor   return  with  their  newest   cd Black Serpent  Rising  featuring  eight  tracks  of  destructive  black metal.The  band does  have some  elements  of  death metal  and even  a  few  somber  and  slower  sections before  going  all  crazed  and  fast paced.The  guitarist  knows  how  to  play  well executed  guitar  chords  that  are played  in the  fast,destructive  pace  but their  are  some  well written  and  performed  mid paced sections.The  drums  are done  in  the  fast  barbaric  blasting  drums  but the drummer does  slow to  a  more somber and slower  pace  in  a  few of the  songs  before  going  back to  the hyper fast  drum  style.The  vocalist   are  done  with  both raw,raspy black metal shrieks  and  some  death  metal  growls  used  in  a  few  songs.If  you  are  familiar  with  Balfor's  past  releases  then you  know  what to  expect  but  if you  are  a  new  fan  then  imagine  well  written  and  played  barbaric  black metal  that  has  both  plenty  of  vicious  and  some slower,melodic black metal sections.

Hammerfall--Built  To  Last  cd  {Napalm  Rec.}
Sweden's  traditional   heavy  metal masters  return  with  their   tenth  full length  release  to date and their first  for  Napalm Rec.Hammerfall  still  carry the  torch  for  traditional  heavy  metal  with  some  rock  and  hard rock  elements  used  in the  bands  sound  I  only  listened to the  bands  first  three  releases  then  lost  touch  with  what the  band  was  doing.Then  I  got the  promo  for their  newest  release  Built  To  Last   which  is  a really  good traditional  heavy  metal  release.Their  are  both  good  metal anthems  and  a  few  slower  heavy  metal  ballads  that  really  work  for the  band.  If you  are  a  fan  of  Hammerfall's  past releases   you  will  like  the  new  release  Built  To  Last   so  be  sure to  buy this  today.
