Trivium - Shogun (10/2008)

Tuesday, 14 April 2009 16:04 The Duke

The 4th single release from Trivium's 4th album Shogun is called ‘Down From The Sky’.

The mixture of the New Wave of American Heavy Metal, which dominated their earlier albums and Thrash Metal a la Metallica works perfectly well for the band with their 22 year-old singer Matthew Heafy.

The songs which are to be recommended besides the current single ‘Down From The Sky’ would be Kirisute Golem, Throes Of Perdition and Shogun (12 minutes play time).
The great sound is due to Nick Raskulinecz who has already produced bands like Death Angel or Marilyn Manson.

Amon Amarth - Twilight Of The Thundergod (09/2008)

With ‘Twilight Of The Thunder God’ even the last critics should be convinced by the Nordic guys from Amon Amarth!
Well, they haven't set themselves into a new light but they made an album with lots of variety which definitely makes them look good!
Vikings would surely love the title song, and also single release, ‘Twilight Of The Thunder God’, ‘Guardians Of Asgaard’ as well as ‘Varyags Of Mikalagaard’.

This CD is a must-have for Death and Viking Metal fans!

So finally you have no other choice than putting this album into your CD player and render homage to Thor, Loki and Odin!

Slipknot - All Hope Is Gone (08/2008)

Tuesday, 14 April 2009 15:24 The Duke

In the middle of the summer slump when festivals are being visited the most, Slipknot surprise us with a new studio album.
For Slipknot fans it’s like Christmas in August! With ‘All Hope Is Gone’ they tend to wander from New Metal to modern Death Metal.

In addition to clean vocal parts, you can find more and more guitar solos in the songs which already could be heard in their previous album.
I should not forget to mention that with this album, they have increased the amount of more melodious songs. Nobody really knows if the guys from Iowa are just getting old or just have calmed down.

Anyways, they are still able to make a lot of noise.
