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.

No Nonsense Metal  Top 10 Albums Of 2013!    2013 has proven to be a monumental year for extreme music. We have witnessed the return of some of the greatest pioneering acts Metal music has ever seen, as well as a succession of future legends solidifying their place within our realms. It is fair to say that 2013 holds some of the best Metal releases of all time, but within it also resides some of the most spectacular misfires ever to insult mortal eardrums. Focusing on the positive aspects of the years releases, here is a round up of 10 albums that 2013 shall truly be remembered for. Undoubtedly, this list of albums will (and should) be fairly predictable, reminding you of the incredible strides extreme music has made within the last year. However, it should also highlight just how much can change within a 365 day stretch, and just how much Metal music can terraform within that time. So lets hope 2014 lives up to the achievements of 2013. Bring on the...

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...
