Soufly - Dark Ages (Roadrunner)


Max is back and loaded!!
Soufly's latest album is the most mature and aggressive work than ever before.
It has great lyrics and brutal aggresive vocals.
Max looks more furious and heated on their songs because of his personal problems that he went through and i hope to get over it.
In this album the band blend many elements and sounds which make it more exciting and unexpected.
"I and I" , "Caved inside" and "Frontlines" are so damn good, and "molotov" has vocals that sound like they came through the phone, hmm interesting. Great album, go and buy it!!
Beware, Soulfy ARISE AGAIN!!!

LACUNA COIL announced US touring plans supporting ROB ZOMBIE in April to coincide with the albums release.
The album boasts of 13 tracks, all worth-while hearing, although some deserve special mention: “To the Edge”, “Within Me”, “You Create”, “Without Fear” and of course the Depeche Mode cover of “Enjoy the Silence”.

Shadows Fall - War Within (Century Media)


Another killswitch engage clone? Death Metal For britney fans?
I don't think so because the album prove this wrong from starting
with the track "The Light That Blinds"
which start with a metal balland
and take it to a sonic-assault blast, showing us their true skills
This album came up in 2004 and i thought that this band will be understemitated because
of their NWOAHM roots.
But Listening the tracks "What Drives The Weak", "The Power Of I and I"
and "Inspiration on Demand", you realise that their genre is Classic Heavy Metal
with more modern edge, and brutal vocals which make the band more unique and
melodic. Every metal fan must have this album.
