| Plini/Sithu Aye I | 4.5 |
| Almah Unfold | 2.5 |
| A total waste of talent! Unfold blends hard rock, heavy metal, and power metal influences that constantly clash throughout the album making the listener wonder what direction the bands really wants to go in. For example, there might be a power metal chorus and then a solo that clashes with everything they've built up. And this problem reoccurs consistently in every song. |

| Kalmah Seventh Swamphony | 4.0 |
| Lions Forgettingism | 2.5 |
| Children of Bodom Halo of Blood | 3.5 |
To be honest, I am completely surprised with the comeback Bodom made on this album. Bodom fans all around the world were crossing their fingers with little optimism and preparing for the worst to come. I remember when a lot of people (including myself) were lying to themselves saying "RRF is a comeback! Bodom is back baybuh!" that is until we [fans of Bodom] finally realized shortly after that Bodom crafted another shitty album even if it was better than Blooddrunk - it's still not saying much. There were too many elements to count that were missing in the song writing formula that made Bodom who they were back in the day. As well as too much alcohol, which probably played a significant role as to why the previous 2-3 albums sucked - we all know how creative we can be when we're impaired beyond recognition.
It's safe to say that Bodom is finally back on the right track to create another classic that can sit by Follow the Reaper. However, this Finnish entourage still has a long ways to go to craft an album that will put them on the right path to greater success. Halo of Blood is just the first of many steps of improvement. |
| Scale the Summit The Migration | 4.5 |
| Megadeth Super Collider | 1.5 |
In recent news: President Obama was just blamed on FOX NEWS by Dave Mustaine for the failure of Super
Collider. During the interview Mustaine argued his point with Senior Economic Advisor of the White House of how
higher taxes = less money, which correlates in less creativity and inspiration for entrepreneurs such as himself.
Hannity proceeded to say, "This is the reason why I hate that (N-word)."
President Obama responded with this: "Fear me; worship me. For I am Dave Mustaine's bane and High King of
this Middle-Earth!"
Mustaine has still yet to respond. |
| Dark Tranquillity Construct | 4.5 |
| Galneryus The IronHearted Flag, Vol. 1: Regeneration Side | 4.5 |
| This album is meant for diehard Galneryus fans, even though all fans of Galneryus are diehard. The IronHearted Flag contains all re-recorded material from their albums before Resurrection which had their previous vocalist during those years. But this album isn't exactly an album of exact re-recorded material. Instead every song contains different intros that were added or lengthened to the original - the same can be said about the solos. Besides that, the vocals and production have more quality compared to the original. |

Did you know this album was meant to be a tribute to Haiti, as well as being the intended next National anthem
for Haiti after the Haitian government ruled him ineligible to run for President?
I don't know about you guys, but I think this guy loves to fling his shit into ears that don't want him.
Poor Haiti......... Haiti gets no love these days...... This is a sad event in the History of Haiti.... Haiti doesn't
deserve this kind of backlash.... |

| The album is pretty boring all together, it's like they're playing the same thing over and over again. The vocals are pretty strong just like the drums, but it doesn't have any vocal differences at all, the same goes with the guitars as well. While the bass is blended in with the blast beats, the drums are the only thing that really sticks out on the album. Bottom line is that it's been overrated. |

Also, some other songs such as the previously mentioned, and Unbreakable pt.2, Strike, Metal Nation, Give Em Hell, and the leading single, Bad Guys Wear Black are important standouts that add to an extensive setlist for 'Best Of' entitlement in Primal Fear's discography. |

Melodies will remembered and have you hooked for a while, strong clean vocals, with death growls that aren't pathetic sounding, drums and bass aren't being overshadowed by the guitars, solos that are creative and not mindless shredding. Overall it's a great album.rRecommended songs: The First Snow - Winter Within, Deathstar, Judgement, Unbroken, The Butterfly Effect, and Wraith. |

Simplistic (verse-chorus-verse), but catchy as hell. Both clean and harsh vocals are performed greatly done, that it brings in a Gothic metal atmosphere. The guitars have interesting melodies, with haunting acoustics, a bass that's audible, and drums with standout moments. Overall a fun release by a band that doesn't disappoint.
Recommended songs - Dying Sun, Exile, Silence, Fabrication, Dead Reflection, Savior.

Well, unfortantely Gus G. and Tomas left, technically on a bad note after this release.... In comparison to Sweet Vengeance is what I really mean.
I mean there's a lot of great songs on here such as Being Nothing, Drug, and Frozen. But there isn't as much talent bleeding off from the Gus nor Tomas. One main reason that I saw this not being as strong as it could've been was the lack of extensive guitar solos and vocal variation from Tomas, along with the fact that Tom S. Englund had no contributions to clean vocals! I mean what the fuck!? Tom gave a lot of spunk to Nightrage's music along with something different then a straight forward album that Descent Into Chaos brings.
Bottom line is that this is a great album. Nothing more; nothing less, but the songs I've mentioned previously are the standouts of this album. |
| God Is an Astronaut All Is Violent, All Is Bright | 4.0 |
| Kiko Loureiro No Gravity | 4.5 |
| Dark Tranquillity Character | 4.5 |
| Masterplan Aeronautics | 3.5 |

| Draconian Arcane Rain Fell | 4.5 |

| Shunning their recent power metal trends, and conservatively reroutes their efforts to make a classic heavy metal record in the same vein as their 1980s work is without a doubt a bold move. Thankfully it pulled through in the end for these hellish sounding power metallers. |
| Gojira From Mars to Sirius | 4.0 |
| October Falls Marras | 4.0 |
| Into Eternity Buried in Oblivion | 4.5 |
| Nightingale Nightfall Overture | 4.5 |
