Accept is a German heavy metal band from the town of Solingen, originally assembled by former vocalist Udo Dirkschneider, guitarist Wolf Hoffmann and bassist Peter Baltes. Their beginnings can be traced back to the late 1960s. The band played an important role in the development of speed metal, being part of the German heavy metal scene to emerge in the early to mid 1980s.

Following disbandment in 1997 and resurrection in 2005, they reunited in 2009 with former T.T. Quick frontman Mark Tornillo and released their highest charting album to date, Blood of the Nations.

They have sold over 27 million albums worldwide.

At the end of May 2009 rumours again surfaced on a possible Accept reformation when bassist Peter Baltes revealed he spent a weekend at his house in Pennsylvania "shredding away" with guitarist Wolf Hoffmann. "Something amazing is in the works," Baltes explained. "As soon as I can, I'll let everybody know. Let's make the 'Metal Heart' beat again."

A coincidental meeting between Accept and former TT Quick singer Mark Tornillo at this informal jam session meant shortly after Tornillo was announced as the new vocalist.

A new album was written and recorded with Andy Sneap (of Megadeth, BLAZE, Exodus, Testament, Arch Enemy and Onslaught fame) as producer. Titled Blood of the Nations, it is the first original Accept album in fourteen years.

The new line-up made their live debut on 8 May 2010 at the Gramercy Theatre in New York City, their first American concert in fifteen years.

On 21 May 2010 their video for "Teutonic Terror" was number 5 on the worldwide video charts in all genres on MySpace, topping such artists as Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber and Christina Aguilera. The video also topped the MySpace Global Metal Charts at Number 1.

On 13 June 2010 Accept opened for AC/DC in Stuttgart, Germany, and on 25 June 2010 headlined the Sonisphere festival in Romania and Turkey. With a set of over 2 hours,classics like "Balls to the Wall", "Metal Heart" and "Princess of the Dawn" were played along with the new album material. Blood of the Nations was released in Europe on 20 August 2010 and made a chart debut at Number 4 in the official German Media Control Charts, the band’s highest chart debut in their career.

Blood of the Nations was released 4 September in Japan, and 18 September 2010 in the United States. Accept spent 80 days on a summer tour traveling over 65,000 km and playing for over 450,000 fans. In October, the band appeared at the prestigious Japanese Festival LOUDPARK outside of Tokyo to 40,000 fans along Ozzy Osbourne, Motörhead and Stone Sour.

According to bassist Peter Baltes, Accept will work with Andy Sneap again to produce the new album, which he hopes will be completed by early 2012. On November 13, 2011, it was announced that the album will be called Stalingrad and is due for release in April 2012.

Naglfar formed in 1992. The band was originally called Uninterred, and was founded by Jens Rydén on vocals and guitar, and Kristoffer Olivius on bass. The band had its first full line-up when Ulf Andersson from Nocturnal Rites joined the band to play drums, and Morgan Hansson and Fredrik Degerström joined on guitar. With this new line-up Jens could concentrate on vocals. In March of 1994, Fredrik left Naglfar due to personal issues with the band as well as musical differences. Soon afterward Ulf left the band as well so that he could concentrate on Nocturnal Rites. It was during this tumultuous period which the band was writing and recording their first demo in Garageland Studio, titled Stellae Trajectio. The demo was released in November of 1994. Before it was publicly released, however, the band officially changed their name to Naglfar.

In early 1995, the band was signed by Wrong Again Records, and that summer they released their debut full-length album, Vittra. After the recording was over, Mattias Holmgren left the band. Other than appearing on an Iron Maiden tribute CD (they performed the song "The Evil That Men Do", the band was relatively inactive for the next few years. Their second album, which received strong reviews, was titled Diabolical and released in 1998. After more line-up changes, Naglfar recorded an EP called Ex Inferis, and a full-length called Sheol.

In 2005, the full-length album Pariah was released. With some of the best production values to date and more imaginative song formats, this album was impressive to old and new fans alike. The album was followed by a highly successful tour together with Dark Funeral across Europe, as well as several festival dates.

In December 2005, Morgan Lie was confirmed as the full bass player for the band. "It's now official. Morgan Lie has joined the ranks permanently as our bass player. He's been handling the live duties exceptionally well, and also has been contributing with music for the new album, so it's our pleasure to welcome him into the band".

In August 2009, the band announced on their myspace page that they were about to begin recording the new album, without mentioning any planned date for release. In May 2010, the band posted a message on their Facebook page stating that a new album on the way.

In early December 2011, Naglfar launched their official Facebook page.

On December 22, 2011, a new song entitled "Pale Horse" was uploaded to Century Media's YouTube account, which also announced their new album "Téras" that will be released in March 2012. The session musician they used for the album was Dirk Verbeuren.

Banda: Axel Rudi Pell
Álbum: Circle Of The Oath
Ano: 2012
País: Alemanha
Estilo: Power Heavy Metal

German guitar god Axel Rudi Pell has returned along with singer Johnny Gioelli, drummer Mike Terrana , keyboard player Ferdy Doernberg and bassist Volker Krawzak to deliver “Circle of the Oath.” Axel & Co. have been responsible for putting out some of my favorite Metal albums of the past 20 years or so and 2010′s “The Crest” saw them with the best album of Axel’s career. In my opinion, “Circle of the Oath” picks up where The Crest left off with a sonically stellar and beautifully melodic sound. Axel has a formula that works really well for him. He is not afraid to wear his heavy Dio and Rainbow influences on his sleeve and this totally works for him. Axel makes the kind of Metal that I love. Melodic, heavy, and full of punch. The performances on “Circle of the Oath” are as good as you would expect them to be while not diverting or straying from this formula that Axel & Co have perfected.


The album starts off with a bang with “Ghost In The Black” which bears that Axel Rudi Pell signature riff right off the bat. “World of Confusion” is very reminiscent of that “Headless Cross” era of Black Sabbath and is probably one of the best songs I have ever heard from Axel. The title track “Circle of the Oath” opens with an acoustic guitar/vocal intro that is his own little nod to another set of heroes of his, Led Zeppelin, before kicking in heavy. This is a great song but I did feel that the intro went on for a bit too long and felt slightly dragged out. “Lived Our Lives Forever” and “Hold On To Your Dreams” are the only two songs that seemed to just miss the mark. Lyrically they just weren’t as strong as they could’ve been. I can see the concept Axel was going for on these songs and I feel that if proper time had been taken, they could’ve been quite stellar.

All in all, “Circle of the Oath” is another great album. It’s an album that is far better than most but unlike “The Crest” contains a few missed marks. “Circle of the Oath” lacked the cohesion that “The Crest” boasted but it is still a fantastic album. You have to understand something about Axel Rudi Pell. He has a sonic formula that works for him and from album to album he doesn’t stray from it. With “Circle of the Oath” the formula is there but a few of the songs in general sound less thought out than on previous albums. With that being said, they don’t suck. They’re not even close to sucking. It’s kind of pizza. The quality may vary but regardless, it’s fucking pizza and it’s still going to be good. Maybe it won’t be amazing but it’ll be good.

Banda: Inches Of Blood
Álbum: Long Live Heavy Metal
Ano: 2012
País: Canadá
Estilo: Power Heavy Metal

Download

You can already tell what this album is going to sound like, can’t you? And you would be right, as “Long Live Heavy Metal” pulls out every metal cliché in the book – and some that aren’t – and puts you square back in the early 1980’s with its NWOBHM-isms.

The opening track is called “Metal Woman” and could have come straight off of Judas Priest’s “Painkiller”, a comment that could be thrown at a multitude of these songs. Singer Cam Pipes comes straight from the Rob Halford/Tim ‘Ripper’ Owens school of bollock-squeezing, high-pitch screams and he barely lets it drop throughout the whole album. Guitarist Justin Hagberg provides harsh vocals at certain points to provide a bit of contrast, most notably on “Leather Lord”, which starts off all Judas Priest-like but throws in a few Iron Maiden guitar harmonies before thrashing itself to a close.

“Chief and the Blade” is a medieval-style folky instrumental that breaks up the intensity before “Dark Messenger” comes crashing in on a wave of power metal aggression and is probably the catchiest song here. ”4000 Torches” has a wonderful stop-start breakdown about two-thirds of the way through that’ll no doubt be a fist-pumping highlight of the live set, but these are all in the first half of the album. Unfortunately, the second half doesn’t quite have so many notable moments and swiftly brings the album back down to merely good-but-not great status, although the closing instrumental “One for the Ditch” has a cool vibe that brings to mind Sepultura’s “Kaiowas”.

However, the none-more-metal production is perfectly mixed to give the listener that maximum metal feeling that brings to mind the great examples of the style – the aforementioned “Painkiller”, Pantera’s “Vulgar Display of Power”, anything by Iced Earth, etc. You get the point.

So overall, “Long Live Heavy Metal” is – like so many other albums that have the word ‘Metal’ in the title – an album that does exactly what is says on the cover, so to speak. 3 Inches of Blood do what they do and do it well, and that can’t be taken away from them, and if high-pitched vocals, duelling solos and songs about Leather Lords are your thing, then you’ll find much here to keep you happy. It isn’t that it’s a bad album, because it isn’t, but your enjoyment of it may be overshadowed by the fact that you could just as easily put on “Painkiller” , “Screaming for Vengeance” or “Angel of Retribution” and enjoy them more as whole pieces of work.

Long Live Heavy Metal may be the most generic title for an album ever, but it easily is the most suiting for 3 Inches of Blood. With that said, long live the internet. New songs have been "leaking" onto social networking sites, whether posted by the band, or by fans from live performances. At the time of writing this, it seems "Dark Messenger" and "Leather Lord," both from the album, have hit the trusty ol' web, enticing fans to listen and get an idea of what to expect with this spanking new album. So, with a few of the tracks already available, and the knowledge that at some point soon I'll get the album for review, the fan/Metal nerd in me couldn't help but spend some quality alone time with these tracks...

The first of the two studio tracks to be released is "Leather Lord." I heard plenty about this song before giving it a spin, and thankfully a lot of it lived up to the hype. The track wasn't really the most amazing song I've heard, but it was definitely a solid experience none the less. As if channeling the pioneers of the NWOBHM sound with a hint of aggression a la Judas Priest's "Painkiller," which stood out so much to me in such a subtle fashion that I found myself belting out their chorus lyrics over these in a matching falsetto manner. The higher pitched approach approach is nicely met with a small section prior to the guitar solo to feature some rougher vocals, concluding with a more guttural sounding "Piss off..." that transitions into a suiting, though not too inspiring guitar solo. I felt a little let down by it honestly, and the overall final product left me wanting more. But, overall, I enjoyed the track for what it was, and was anxious to hear the next single when I finished.

Next up is "Dark Messenger," and holy Mercyful Fate does it sound familiar. Despite its blatently obvious unoriginality, the track still boasted enough of a classic Heavy Metal sound with a little of the 3 Inches of Blood signature modern edge. There are some harsher vocvals that appear again, roughly around the half-way point, and the track itself definitely has a good bite to it that had my head bobbing along. Sadly, I wasn't too moved again. "Dark Messenger" is a good song, there's no denying that, but it's not like fans of this particular band haven't already heard this specific sound and foundation before, so it's a little hard to really get pumped for it, even at the moment everything kicks in.

So, with my time spent along side these two studio tracks, I can safely say that they did nothing for me. While I definitely enjoyed them a hell of a lot more then I did with Here Waits Thy Doom, I felt that the band's more original sound has been heavily compromised and really shows the heavy influence of the styles early acts. In no way do I feel this will be a bad album, but I can't see it being one of my favorite recordings of 2012 either. After a few spins with these, I already started to miss Fire Up the Blades, and even Advance and Vanquish. Both of those had more of an identity, where as Long Live Heavy Metal doesn't really seem to have one as far as "Leather Lord" and "Dark Messenger" are concerned.

But, then again, this album is called Long Live Heavy Metal. Perhaps this title is meant to be literal, and the influence showing through a lot more than usual will be an intentional theme for the album? I guess we'll all have to wait and see...

Overkill is an American thrash metal band, formed in 1980 in New Jersey. They have gone through many line-up changes, with singer Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth and bassist D.D. Verni remaining from the original lineup. Along with Anthrax (whose one-time lead guitarist, Dan Spitz, was also an early member of Overkill), the band is one of the most successful East Coast thrash metal bands. The band has a notable mascot named Chaly, a skeletal bat with a skull-like face, bony wings, and green eyes. Chaly has appeared on most of their album covers.

To date, Overkill has released 15 studio albums, 2 EPs, 2 live albums and a "covers" album. They were one of the early thrash metal bands to sign to a major label (Atlantic Records, in 1986), though Overkill would not achieve commercial success until they popularized "thrash" in the late 1980s with their contemporaries Anthrax, Exodus, Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Testament. The band achieved its biggest success with their 1993 album I Hear Black, which debuted at #122 on the Billboard 200 charts, the band's highest ever chart position in the United States.

Now with the Bodog Music label, the band rejoined forces with Jonny and Marsha Zazula, previous owners of Megaforce Records, who are now part of the Bodog Team in the United States. Overkill released its 15th studio album, Immortalis, on October 9, 2007. The album featured the lineup of founders Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth and D.D. Verni, guitarists Dave Linsk and Derek Tailer, and new drummer Ron Lipnicki. Lamb Of God vocalist Randy Blythe contributed vocals on the song "Skull And Bones".

On October 30, 2009, it was reported that Overkill had inked a multi-album deal with Nuclear Blast Records. The band's next album, Ironbound — which is described as a true "thrashter-piece" — was released on February 9, 2010.

In July 2011, Overkill began demoing six songs and were planning to begin recording a new album in October for an early 2012 release. The resulting album, The Electric Age, will be released on March 27, 2012.

Meshuggah is an extreme metal band from Umeå, Sweden, formed in 1987. Meshuggah's line-up has primarily consisted of founding members vocalist Jens Kidman and lead guitarist Fredrik Thordendal, drummer Tomas Haake, who joined in 1990, and rhythm guitarist Mårten Hagström, who joined in 1992. The band has gone through a number of bassists, with the position being held by Dick Lövgren since 2004.

Meshuggah first attracted international attention with the 1995 release Destroy Erase Improve for its fusion of fast-tempo death metal, thrash metal and progressive metal with jazz fusion elements. Since its 2002 album Nothing, Meshuggah has used downtuned eight-string guitars. Meshuggah has become known for their innovative musical style, complex, polymetered song structures and polyrhythms. They were labeled as one of the ten most important hard and heavy bands by Rolling Stone and as the most important band in metal by Alternative Press. Meshuggah has found little mainstream success as yet, but is a significant act in extreme underground music.

Nothing and the albums that followed have all charted on the Billboard 200. In 2006 and 2009, the band was nominated for a Swedish Grammy Award. Meshuggah's most commercially successful album, 2008's obZen, peaked at No. 59 and sold 11,400 copies in the first week and 50,000 copies six months after its release in the United States. Since its formation, Meshuggah has released six studio albums, five EPs and eight music videos. The band has performed in various international festivals, including Ozzfest and Download, and embarked on the obZen world tour from 2008 to 2010. A new studio album, Koloss, is set to be released on March 23, 2012.

Banda: Borknagar
Álbum: Urd
Ano: 2012
País: Noruega
Estilo: Black Progressive Viking Folk Metal

Download

Borknagar is a band from Bergen, Norway founded in 1995 by Øystein Garnes Brun. The band began as a black metal/viking metal band and quickly adopted a more progressive metal style after their first album.

As such, the band’s most known style would be that of progressive black metal, with most of their albums taking from this style. Borknagar’s lyrics often deal with philosophy, paganism, nature, and the cosmos. Øystein Brun stated once that the name was inspired by a Scottish legend about a man who climbed Lochnagar, a mountain in Scotland.

Borknagar rose out of the ashes of the Norwegian death metal band Molested when then-member Øystein G. Brun became tired of the brutal aspects of the band’s music. Øystein formed Borknagar to explore a more melodic outlet of expression; he wrote all of the music and lyrics and gathered together an all-star group of black metal musicians to play in his band. Well-known musicians of the black metal scene (such as Infernus of Gorgoroth, Grim of Immortal and Gorgoroth, Ivar Bjørnson from Enslaved, Garm of Ulver, Head Control System, and ex-Arcturus) joined the project, bringing immediate attention to Borknagar. The band never even recorded a demo – they simply asked for a record contract on Malicious Records and were granted their request. Borknagar’s majestic, melodic sound was instantly liked by many and received positive press attention.

Borknagar has released seven albums to date. Their self-titled debut album features lyrics in Norwegian; all subsequent albums have featured lyrics written in English by both ICS Vortex from Arcturus and Dimmu Borgir and later by current singer, Vintersorg from Otyg and his eponymous band (Vintersorg). All of the band’s records (excluding the original pressing of the debut album via Malicious Records) have been released by the Century Media label. Borknagar has toured with various bands, including the well-known Cradle Of Filth. =)

Banda: Shear
Álbum: Breaking The Stillness
Ano: 2012

Estilo: Melodic Power Metal

I didn’t feel something close to a sheer heart attack, but at least I cheered for what went on in my ears for nearly forty plus minutes of listening. From the freezing and pale land of Finland, especially now at the cold winter time, I was introduced to SHEAR, a six piece band led by a female vocalist that surprised me, by the label of Lifeforce Records. I have to admit in an enclosed chapter that Lifeforce astonished me with their latest signings as the majority of their bands are bound to the extreme side of Metal while also connecting to modern Hardcore. SHEAR is an example of one of Lifeforce’s latest linked deals and this line-up is playing melodic modern Heavy / Power Metal. Following their newfound deal and a great production that they hired for the upcoming process, SHEAR released their debut album, “Breaking The Stillness”. If anyone had even the slightest though that is it going to sound like something out of the house of Liv Cristine, he or she is terribly erroneous.

With “Breaking The Stillness” I was once again evident to a different version of European Power Metal that shares no happiness but only a will to break the quietness and scream with unbound anger against deeds that were done to one’s self or to others dear with no justice. While most relying on swiftness and smoothness that might seem to be commercialized, I think that this album has a dark and interesting character. Attention-grabbing and flowing material like “The Stillness Wounded”, “Redemption Awaits”, “Stillness” and “Scorched”, presents a tight crew of hard knocking artists that wrote a well made heavy music with a wonderful atmospheric sensation that won’t let anyone close their eyes. The music is vigorous and above the common in the genre, heavy, thought-provoking, and yet cold blooded with a fine set of vocals by a great, not even close to be like an angel, female vocalist, named Alexa Leroux, that one day will become a star for sure. I will tell you again, it will only sound commercial, but SHEAR has a lot more to prove and to provide their positively growing fan base.

For me “Breaking The Stillness” was a sort of a build up that began to lower its blaze a little near its ending. What started as something mysterious became bold and powerful only to close the stage down with a decent vagueness and theatrical like drama. It will be fabulous to listen to more of their material in the future to come. It can be mind demanding sometimes but it is worth it.

OPERA DIABOLICUS is the brainchild of composer David Grimoire and lyricist Adrian de Crow. The idea sprung to life when the two of them met randomly at a stage play of Umberto Eco's book The Name of the Rose at a theatre in Gothenburg the year 2006. Both of them were very intrigued by the story and they ended up talking about how interesting it would be to make a theatrical and dark metal musical based on that kind of a story. The conversation between them that took place in Gothenburg that bleak December night planted the seed that soon should grow to be the concept of OPERA DIABOLICUS - The concept of combining the dark elements of music and theatre in alliance with musical excellency.

The music could be described as dramatic and dark doom metal with atmospheric, epic and progressive elements.

The upcoming album features among others; Snowy Shaw (King Diamond, Mercyful Fate, Notre Dame, Therion, Dimmu Borgir), Mats Levén (Krux, Therion), Niklas Isfeldt (Dream Evil), Jake E (Amaranthe, Dreamland) and Camilla Alisander-Ason on vocals, daemonic voices and ghoulish sounds. Snowy Shaw has also contributed with his well-known drums of doom. The album is produced and mixed by Andy LaRocque (King Diamond) at his Sonic Train Studio.

Essa devasta indo e voltando! Eu postei o álbum debut da banda em 2010 e confirmei com esse novo full o que havia dito. Eles tem futuro, fazem um som sencional e merece estar entre os melhores do ano com certeza!

Diabulus in Musica hails from Spain and began their musical journey in 2006. Diabulus can be defined as symphonic with gothic elements, although their influences are diverse. The members of DIM are experienced and dedicated young musicians who left their other projects and commited themselves to this new band. During their first year of work and with the first songs recorded independently, DIM managed to be finalists in some prestigious contests. This success encouraged the band to write a great amount of songs. Eleven of these songs were selected to be included in their first studio album entitled, Secrets.

Secrets features an altruistic collaboration of great musicians; soprano Maite Itoiz (John Kelly & Maite Itoiz), the tenor Ariel Hern‡ndez (Spanish National Choir), members of the professional Early Music ensemble ÒNova LuxÓ, the violist Laura Vallejo (London Philharmonic Orchestra) and the violinist Sergio Ram’rez (Spanish National Broadcast) among others. All of them were thrilled to collaborate with this project once they heard the quality of the material.

Secrets was engineered by the prestigious Spanish tech-producer I–aki Llarena and mixed by Ad Sluijter (ex-guitar player of Epica). Mastering duties were placed in the more than capable hands of the highly renowned Sascha Paeth (Epica, Kamelot, Rhapsody Of Fire) along with Simon Oberender and Michael (Miro) Rodenberg at Gate studios in Wolfsburg, Germany.

Music fans will find a lot of variety and depth in Secrets. Inside you’ll find expertly arranged classical passages, deeply infectious and insatiable hooks and melodies, and dark and aggressive moments that remind you that, in fact, Diabulus In Musica IS a metal band!

Estou de volta! Bem, aconteceu umas coisas bem estranhas essa semana e outras boas, ótimas. A ruim é que a DMCA descobriu o blog novamente e o Blogger desativou minha conta por alguns dias, mas já se resolveu esse problema, demorou muito até a DMCA achar a gente rsrsrs. Mas agora que as coisas estão mais danosas para quem disponibilizar arquivos na net era questão de tempo ate isso acontecer novamente. Se algum post sumir do nada, culpem a DMCA!

E hoje eu começo a fazer as senhas em inglês. Vocês precisam aprender essa língua, sério mesmo.

Sempre respeitei esse cara. Não adianta dizer que ele só faz sucesso porque já cantou no Iron Maiden, ele mesmo falou que já tentou fugir disso uma vez e só pegou uma úcera. Sempre será conhecido com ex-vocalista do Iron e ponto final.

Agora o que ele faz na sua carreira solo é outra história. Seus últimos álbuns vem destruindo todo tudo e todos e rasgando a boca de muita gente que apenas sabe reclamar. Mais uma vez Blaze cria um álbum lendário e poderoso até os ossos. Recomendo demais!

Aviso para o pessoal. Galera estamos upando e o mediafire andou deixando a gente na mão esses dias, mas estamos upando 18 Giga de banda, tenha calma que até o final de semana terá banda para todo mundo!

Bora ler em engrês um pouco sobre o Blaze:

Blaze Bayley (born Bayley Alexander Cooke, 29 May 1963, Birmingham, England) is an English singer and songwriter. He has been the lead singer of Wolfsbane from 1984 to 1994, and nowadays since their recent reunion. Blaze is however world-known for having been the lead singer of British metal band Iron Maiden from 1994 to 1999. After that experience he also built a solid solo career, recording studio albums first as Blaze and the following with a self-titled band.
On 31 March 2011, Blaze announced that he would continue as a solo performer working with different musicians. The new official line-up for live gigs features the confirmed Claudio Tirincanti on the drums, old occasional touring member "Deputy Dave" Andrews on the guitar, and two Belgian musicians (Steve Deleu and Nick Meganck) respectively on the other guitar and the bass. Later in the year, it has been announced that the same musicians will tour also with former Judas Priest singer Tim "Ripper" Owens.

Alongside the reunion and new recordings of Wolfsbane, Bayley has played a two-week acoustic solo tour in the UK in Sept 2011 with fellow Wolfsbane guitarist Jase Edwards plus a few unplugged gigs in Italy with Andrea Neri on the guitar. Footage of the acoustic shows with Jase Edwards can be seen on the Official Blaze Bayley YouTube Page.

Esperei bastante tempo para postar esse álbum porque queria ouvi-lo por vários dias. Quando ouvi a primeira vez não me empolgou e a música mais legal era a instrumental que tem 9 minutos, ainda é a minha música preferida do álbum, mas meus conceitos mudaram depois de ouvir por todos esses dias.

Primeira coisa de cara é a diferença como as linhas de guitarras estão mais fechadas, mais completas. Depois nota-se uma bateria mais difundida na música com muita velocidade do power com a morticidade do death, a coisa se encaixa perfeitamente; logo também se nota que o Mark está cantando bem menos nesse álbum, parece que ele criou mais elementos do death nos instrumental do que em sua voz.

O álbum está mais denso, mais brutal, quando chega nas passagens negras, a coisa é limpa e seca. A atmosfera sinfônica é ainda chama atenção o que é importante para essa banda que mudou todo o conceito de como se toca metal sinfônico fodasticamente impressionante. É bem dosado do começo ao fim. O tema do álbum é você sair do mundo sujo, tecno-científico e entrar no mundo natural ou você irá se perder e transformar seu coração apenas numa máquina.

As faixas são longas, isso cansa as vezes, coisa que não interfere no tempo corrido das letras e linguagens da cada música. Tem muita linha musical do oriente médio, a banda está entrosada demais, por isso quase não se encontra falhas, na verdade, não existe falhas. E a cereja do bolo Simon Simons simplesmente é perfeita. Recomendo muito esse álbum que o Epica fez, com certeza é o mais legal da banda e tem muita experiência. Mega Blaster Atomic Devastation Lançamento!!

Gosto demais dessa banda. Ela faz um metal sinfônico estiloso com coros, passagens épicas e grandes linhas do mais puro power metal finlândes.

O som da banda ganhou mais elementos, o álbum é mais gelado, mostra o lado obscuro do circo. Aqueles palhaços do mal que todo mundo tem medo, mágicos que fazem as pessoas desaparecem para sempre, mulheres com beijos que transformam outros gelos... essas coisas aterrorizantes de filmes de horror com circo.

O line up da banda também é devastador demais:

Heidi Parviainen – Vocals (ex-Agonia, ex-Iconofear)
Kasperi Heikkinen – Guitars (Conquest, Merging Flare, ex-Gamma Ray (live))
Kimmo Korhonen – Guitar (Coventhrall, Helion, Solacide, ex-Dim Moonlight)
Jukka Koskinen – Bass (Cain’s Offering, Norther, Wintersun)
Heikki “Joey Edith” Saari – Drums (Exsecratus, Naildown, Norther)
Tuomas Seppl – Keyboards (Conquest, ex-Atheme One, ex-Twisted Silence, ex-Virtuocity)

Todos sabem o que estão tocando e gostam da parada melódica como ninguém. O som é bem encaixado, não abusa e dá vontade de ouvir várias vezes. Com certeza Heidi Parviainen ganha o destaque, ela ficou morena agora, sua voz melhorou e não abusa, apesar de cantar lírico, a voz dessa gata do gelo não abusa! Destaque de prata vai para o guitarrista Kasperi Heikkinen (lembra nome de cerveja) e o bronze vai para o Heikki que trouxe do death melódico uma bateria fodasticamente foda!!

Recomendo demais esse álbum, sou fã da banda e acredito muito no potencial sonoro deles! Poder demais, meu preto!! Super Lançamento!!!!!

Ah, quase esqueci de falar quem está participando desse álbum!!

Timo Kotipelto (Stratovarius)
Jens Johansson (Stratovarius, Dio, Malmsteen)
Tuomas Nieminen (Throne of Chaos, Bride Adorned, Adamantra, Crowpath)
Nils Nordling (Dreamtale, Animal House)

Dica do meu chapa Vinícios Salerno. Penso que estamos diante de nova forma de tocar metal. Djent é um estilo que já não pode mais ficar de canto, ele vem dominando todas as esferas do Metal, se é que existe mesmo isso. Vildhjarta faz um som tão fantástico, bicho. Inebriante e atormentador! Recomendo muito!

Eu havia postado o álbum anterior dessa banda, acho que foi em 2009. Havia comentado que havia poucas vocalistas femininas que faziam uma voz tão fantástica e pavorosa como essa baixinha chamada Ipek. Três anos depois ainda não ouvi nada igual. Banda é extremamente poderosa em todos os sentidos! brutal!! Recomendo!!

The pagan-death metal project Vinterblot born in winter 2008 in Bari (Italy), due to the initiative of such musicians as Vandrer, Wolf, Eruner and Fjorgynn and soon also Phanaeus, from death metal band Mharbh, joins as singer. The genre could be considered as a mix of the European death metal tradition and the obscure black metal and ambient atmospheres that are useful to the lyric concept based on the constant relation between human being, and his own darkest sides, and the myth. From then on, they start playing live and, nowadays, still keep writing several tracks of their own; In the summer 2010 is publicated the first self produced EP “For Asgard” recorded by Sound Cubed studio engineered by Antonio Tafaro, that earns many successful reviews by specialized magazines and webzines. In the winter the band get contacted by the English label Rising Records, that would sign with a discographic deal for the next full-length album, which recording is provided in the summer 2011 by Golem Dungeon Studio in Bari.

A banda existe desde 1999, mas 'Fragments of The Forgotten' é apenas o segundo full deles. A banda conta hoje com Grant Burns (guitar Ben Mazzarol (drums) Richard Clements(vocals) Adam Fitzgerald (bass) Drew Shepherd (guitar).

Bora ler ingrêis:

The hype surrounding Western Australia's VESPERS DESCENT is without question, considering the amount they've achieved since their inception. VESPERS DESCENT first found their feet as a fully operational battle station in June 2001 working their influences from the early technical death metal days of the Florida Tampa Bay scene to the melodic sounds of the Gothenburg, Sweden scene.

The Band worked furiously for 3 months to put out their first demo. Amidst this, live performances were in order and constant rehearsing and live shows were underway. The result ended in VESPERS DESCENT snaring two important international supports, namely Mayhem and Opeth, which helped the band gain some serious recognition just prior to their first release.

In June 2003, "Three Faces of Eve" was released with great success. The EP launch in November of 2003 was a break through for melodic death metal in Australia. The EP contained the 5 best songs the band had written up until 2002 and was heralded by Australian critics everywhere as "Astounding!".

Throughout 2004 VESPERS DESCENT continued to promote their EP along with supporting many reputable Australian metal bands such as Destroyer 666, Days End and Alchemist. The band was also selected as support for the Perth leg of Exhumed's Australian Tour 2004. After supporting Days End on their national tour ( Perth leg ). The band continued to finish up material for a full-length release slated for 2005.

VESPERS DESCENT entered Sovereign Studios in February of 2005 to record the long anticipated album only stopping in June for 10 days to jump on their first national tour supporting US death metal merchants Hate Eternal. The band were met with much praise around Australia's east coast, selling out of all copies of the EP, shirts, and samplers.

Returning home, the album was finished up in September and after filming their first clip to the song "Cardinal Red", Visions in Verse was released on November 5th 2005. Performing in front of 300+ crowd at the Lookout, Scarborough, the album launch was deemed a success. The band now looks forward to touring and promoting Visions in Verse around Australia again in 2006.

In March of 2008 VESPERS DESCENT released "Realty Dysfunction" on prime cuts, a 6 track ep featuring 4 blistering tracks and once again raising the bar on their own brand of melodic Death Metal, proving to the world that vespers is back better than ever and very much full of life. After the success of their ep launch and a handful of local shows the band where invited to support "Children of Bodom" on the Perth leg of their tour.

VESPERS DESCENT are currently working on their new full length album to be entitled 'Fragments of the Forgotten' which is due for release in early 2011 With a tour of the eastern states and America also in the works.

Banda finlandesa formada em 2000, por Juha Raivio, o Swallow The Sun com seus integrantes provenientes de gêneros do rock ao black metal resultou em um som agradabilíssimo: Death Melódico e Doom.

As músicas são carregadas de atmosferas melancólicas, emotivas, obscuras e profundas.
Boa pedida para fãs de My Dying Bride e Draconian, por exemplo.
