My Dying Bride: The Manuscript EP

MY DYING BRIDE: THE MANUSCRIPT EP
   The masters of Doom return once again to drown we mere mortals with the essential threshold of bleak that we so need. It just so happens that once again, My Dying Bride, have released another collection of mind blowing brilliance. 
   2012's A Map Of All Our Failures, was a genuine masterpiece. It captured the very essence of Doom Metal. Three of the four songs that comprise The Manuscript, were recorded at the same time as the 2012 opus. The resulting creation, is an EP with a virtually identical sound to its full-length associate. 
   The anthems of Blackened winter Doom are in abundance here, with the magnificent "A Pale Shroud Of Longing" and title track, "The Manuscript". Both of these tracks are strongly reminiscent of previous gems "The Poorest Waltz" and "Within The Presence Of Absence". The slightly more Death or Black-Metal orientated "Var Gud Over Er", makes for a genuine treat. The riffs on "Var Gud Over Er", are distinctively Doom, and distinctively My Dying Bride, but this infusion of a heavier sound gives the song an enormous amount of individuality. 
   Any fan of My Dying Bride, or of Doom-Metal, will be very pleased with this release. After all, The Manuscript in an incredible and extremely pleasing EP. We can only hope that My Dying Bride wont keep us in anticipation of their next release for to long. Even if fans do have to wait for a while, at least we have a vast gallery of My Dying Bride's material to be enjoying in the mean time.

EXODUS: PERSONA NON GRATA

  EXODUS: PERSONA NON GRATA         The Thrash Metal hierarchy has long been constructed around the mainstream success of the American "Big Four", dwarfing their peers outside of the clique with their mass popularity and stratospheric record sales. Thanks to bands such as Exodus, Testament and Overkill, a revolution has begun. The most recent releases from those bands comprising the Big Four have been good at best, while the latest albums from these previously mentioned outsiders have been breathtakingly excellent.    Persona Non Grata is a crushingly heavy slab of solid Thrash Metal. Gary Holt and fellow guitarist Lee Altus whip up a veritable storm of crunchy, Thrashing, whiplash-inducing riffs from start to finish. A superhuman barrage of drum battery is unleashed by Tom Hunting, accompanied by Jack Gibson's booming, thundering and raking bass notes. All the while Steve Souza sings, screams and snarls like a rabid and possessed vocal maestro....

MASSACRE: RESURGENCE

  MASSACRE: RESURGENCE      Like the walking dead, Massacre just keep coming back time after time. Refusing to stay down, this band simply won't die. To survive, Massacre takes on a new form every ascension, this time they have re-emerged as the Kam Lee band, with the legendary vocalist being the most consistent and regular member of the band over the years and through the numerous reformations.   The Massacre that we are faced with here on Resurgence could be considered as something of a Death-Metal supergroup. Comprising the band alongside Kam Lee; we have Mike Borders on bass guitar whom was previously a member of the band for short spell in the mid 1980's, alongside Jonny Pettersson of Wombbath (and countless other bands and projects) and Rogga Johansson of Paganizer (and possibly even more bands and projects than Jonny) on guitars, Brynjar Helgetun on drums, and Memoriam's resident riff-lord Scott Fairfax providing lead guitar. United this band of talented ...

BEAST IN BLACK: DARK CONNECTION

  BEAST IN BLACK:  DARK CONNECTION     Bombastic, heavy, wild and fun, Dark Connection is everything that any obliging listener can expect to hear from Finnish whippersnappers Beast In Black.      Saturated with synths, electronics and plenty of twiddling guitars, the album has a very European (or more specifically Scandinavian) Pop vibe, more prevalent here than on Beast In Black's previous efforts. That said, there is no shortage of cracking riffs, slamming drums and impressive vocals.     Kicking off in dramatic fashion, " Blade Runner " offers up an seizure inducing blur of riffs and crazed keys. Sounding like a disco injected Judas Priest, " Bella Donna " is bizzare yet undeniably infectious and catchy. With a great sing-along chorus, crunchy Metallic riffs and an abundance of synths and keys, " Highway To Mars " is another groovy staple. Offering a little more heaviness, " Hardcore " pounds and thunders along like a softer Sab...
