Huntress: Starbound Beast

HUNTRESS: STARBOUND BEAST
   
   Basically, you can't really go wrong with this album. Starbound Beast has all the chugging riffs and solos you could possibly need. As for front women Jill Janus' vocals there are plenty of soaring shrieks and window shattering screams, but she also has what it takes to appeal to even the most die-hard Chris Barnes enthusiasts. Not forgetting the abundance of whiplash inducing, headbang worthy, Doom infused Thrash rhythms.
   Starbound Beast is the perfect continuation from 2012's Spell Eater, with songs just as powerful and memorable as those on the last album. The Lemmy Kilmister co-written "I Want To F**k You To Dead", is a muscular display of musicianship with an undeniably memorable chorus. "Destroy Your Life" and the Black-Metal tinted "Oricle" bring the true Heavy Metal speed with an entire festivals worth of solos each. Meanwhile "Receiver" demonstrates Jill's vocal capabilities, with a selection of clean and gruff singing. The album highlight though, has to be the pounding display of perfection that is "Zenith". All of the technical mastery displayed on "Zenith" is slightly reminiscent of bands such as Helloween or Avenged Sevenfold. 
  Clearly this is a band whose finest hour is yet to come, but with material as impeccable as Starbound Beast and Spell Eater, that hour will last for many a long year.
8.5/10

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....

No Nonsense Metal: Top 10 Albums Of 2013!

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...
