| There's just something more to Iron Thrones than to almost any other new progressive (melodic) death metal act. More precisely, I'm talking about true emotion, which is in abundance on this record. While Visions of Light was a solid debut album on a technical level, it sounded too much like many other bands in the genre. The Wretched Sun sees Iron Thrones finding their own sound, which is a superb mix of death metal, progressive metal and post-metal. This is quite possibly the EP of the year for me, because I haven't found such good musicianship coupled with such burning emotion in this genre in a long time. If these guys will firmly continue on the path they have set themselves upon with this release, they are most certainly going to places. |

| Rotting Christ Theogonia |
| Rotting Christ Aealo |
| Yes, every song on here is rather similar to the one that came before it, but Aealo is not the kind of album where that counts as a negative. This is folky, high-octane Greek war/melodic black metal - in other words, this is music that makes you wish you had a gladius you could reach after to mercilessly decapitate the nearest fool who bothers you. And the music on offer here is definitely of high quality. Aealo is the type of record that gets your blood flowing and, in a live setting, makes you think you know Greek as you shout and scream along to these anthems of war in grand euphoria. It is an invigorating record that is also catchy as hell, and is a worthy successor to Theogonia, which was outstanding |

| Although I've enjoyed Skindred's music for a long, long time, I can safely say I didn't expect Union Black to sound this spectacular. They're not doing anything too different from their previous works on here besides the added drum & bass influences and occasional electronics, but damn have they improved in general songwriting or what? This album is a blast and is easily the funnest record I've heard all year. If you can't enjoy the hell out of this album, you don't know how to appreciate fun metal. Fuck yeah, now I shall go to a club, any kind of club, pump this record, and spread the good vibes. |

Those guys just know how to pull off the whole droney post-metal thing. This is definitely one split worth checking out by fans of dark, atmospheric metal, that's for sure. |

| Insomnium One for Sorrow |
| It really seems to me that there's nothing new to be done in the genre of melodeath (besides mixing it with other genres for original results). Hence why I find it extremely positive that Insomnium's latest, while being quite honestly another Insomnium album in that it doesn't feature anything dynamically too fresh from the band's perspective, still delivers on all fronts. One For Sorrow's got plenty of lush melodies on it while also retaining the aggression aspect of death metal. It's also generally uptempo, but doesn't sacrifice the atmospherically melancholic facet that Insomnium is known for because of it. At present, One For Sorrow is (probably) the best melodeath album I've heard this year. If there's any better out there, don't be shy to recommend away. |

| Mechina Xenon |
| Xenon is not as great as Empyrean, but it's a cool record regardless. Not many bands play symphonic metal like these guys do. Xenon doesn't manage to pull off the "journey" feel as well as Empyrean did, but production-wise it is a much improved record with guitars that actually have crunch to them and a sound that is bigger in scope. Unfortunately, the mix doesn't let the instruments and elements breathe and develop enough, and while the symphonic/industrial/death metal ball that is Xenon is wildly entertaining, it doesn't fulfill on the raw promise of Empyrean. Still, "Xenon", "Tartarus" and "Actaeon" are absolutely mesmeric tracks. Here's to hoping that Mechina's next album pushes the envelope even further without any setbacks. |

| It really is hard to find many straightforward goth metal/rock albums better than this one. The record focuses more on the instrumental than on the atmospheric side of things, but the songwriting is great and the band fuse rockin' riffs with dark, melancholic lyrics expertly. Lyrically this is depressing stuff, but the guitar punch gives this a manly edge over its rivals. Well recommended for fans of both hard rock and goth metal (or just good music in general). |

A more than decent debut from this progressive melodeath band from France. The atmosphere is nice n' deep, but some of the riffs could be a bit more memorable. Still the songs are well-built and have enough going for them, so they are able to stay rather interesting till the end. There is room to grow, but Altered State Of Consciousness is a great debut and a welcome prog death/melodeath album.

| Jerk When Pure is Defiled |
| If you have ever played Need For Speed Underground, you'll know that the game had a pretty awesome list of good-to-drive-to songs, with The Crystal Method, Rob Zombie, Overseer and BT all giving good contributions. Among others, Jerk's "Sucked In" from said game specifically stood out to me because it was a catchy as fuck, industrial tinged nu metal bomb. So, since I am a sucker for good nu metal (and good driving tunes), it is no surprise I took the time and looked up Jerk's debut, and only, album, When Pure is Defiled. When I had given it a listen, it turned out to be pretty much the way I expected it to be: simple downtuned guitars, Manson-, Ventana-, Pitchschifter-esque industrial overtones and, of course, a decent dose of angst thrown into the mix. The angst here is actually even comical at times, with golden lines such as "No one's gonna save my life when I'm drowning/ No one's gonna give a fuck when I die/ All my friends try to tell me I'm the greatest and all my friends try to tell me but my friends all lie!/", or the supreme "Piss on piss, kiss on kiss, it's a simple math". Jerk's Manson-like nu metal/industrial rock hybrid works very well as driving music and when you just want to kick back and have a few beers with your friends. It also has surprisngly solid replay value despite being as simple as it is catchy. |

| Metsatoll IIvakivi |
| Very good album. Metsatoll has really progressed during the years. Their new album is a result of years of hard work and a good one it is. It has only 10 songs on it but all of those songs are at least listenable, most better than that. Its a very high-quality folk metal album and defineately worth looking into. |

| This young little stoner rock band from Estonia really know their chops already. It's only a 3 song EP that's less than ten minutes long, but it's ten minutes of high quality dirty' rocking. Mostly known as a good live band down in Estonia, these guys, with the right amount of help and guidance from good record labels, definitely have the potential to create something amazing. If their upcoming works are anything like "700000 Years", I personally just can't wait. |

| Scum Of The Earth`s second release is definitely not as good as their first one, but it still has it`s moments. The good songs on it are great, but here`s a little too much filler and it isn`t as original as their fist release. Regardless of that it`s still a good heavy/industrial album and worth a listen. Best songs are probably "Just Like Me", "Bombshell From Hell" and "I Am Monster" |

| Before The Dawn Gehenna EP |
This is where it began for these Finnish melodeath metallers. Gehenna EP is a solid goth metal album with unconventional, even punkish vocals from singer/guitarist Tuomas Saukkonen, and gripping, raw guitar lines accompanied by haunting synths. The band will never exhibit their goth side like in here on future releases, moving on to melodic death metal, although some of the influences still remain. Although only 6 tracks long, from which 1 is intro and 1 is an interlude, this EP is still worth looking into by anyone into gothic and/or melodic death metal. Maybe a bit short and small for purchasing matters, but worth a few listens anyway.

| Cavalera Conspiracy Blunt Force Trauma |
| It's another straightforward, thrashy, groove based metal record with horrible lyrics...if you expected anything other from the Cavaleras at this point in their career, you obviously haven't paid attention to what Max has been doing during the last 20 years. If you hoped for anything different, you're just delusional. Shortly: on Blunt Force Trauma, Max Cavalera is again doing what he has been doing for a long while now, and although it's getting kinda silly how many similar records the combo of him and Marc Rizzo can and will just spit out, they somehow make 90% of them sound good. Oh and to Igor Cavalera: please be interesting behind the kit again, you know you can! |

| Kalmah 12 Gauge |
| All 12 Gauge really is, is an irkingly standard melodeath record, albeit executed very profoundly. The riffs are good n' catchy and the songs are just the right length, but an overall feel of repetitiveness brings the record down. Most songs melt together a bit too much, so after listening to the record, it's very hard to actually remeber a certain individual song. In the end, 12 Gauge is a good melodeath record but it's also unmemorable and repetitive. Only recommended for enthusiasts of the genre. |

Limp Bizkit of 2011 is still exactly like Limp Bizkit in their heyday, somewhere around the year 2000, but that's why nostalgia-loving people like me can appreciate them for what they are - a childishly salacious but, nevertheless, a fairly entertaining outfit. |

| Naildown World Domination |
| The debut album of the new Finnish melodic death metal band Naildown. It has some very interesting twists and turns on it, lot of clean vocals, heavy riffs and quite aggressive drumming. it's not as good as their second album as on this album the band is still quite raw/inexperienced, but that's ok considering the final result which is definitely more than I would have hoped for. |

| Nick Murphy (fka Chet Faker) Built on Glass |
| "Talk is Cheap" is such perfect pop song that the rest of the album is irremediably overshadowed by it. It's all pretty decent, but much too samey and when the record ends I'm left thinking that there's much maturing to be done on Faker's part. He's obviously got talent, but Built On Glass doesn't confirm the extent of it. |

Obviously weaker than Rage and Audioslave material, but Morello's guitarwork still captivates. I never pay attention to the lyrics when listening to this, but the vocals are fine/suitable enough and the same goes for the rhythm section. For me: good enough, I get my dose of Morello out of it. |
