NORSE (Australia) - Pest (Dissonant Black Metal, March 15th, 2015, Transcending Obscurity) Norse play a visceral, fiery form of mutated black metal. The music is highly dissonant, whipping out hooks and dirge-laden sections in places where you would least expect them. It is intrinsically atmospheric, adding layers to your reality, and yet making complete sense. Norse create an album that is pensive, charged with an electric industrial ambiance, and follows a pattern that's hard to follow or repeat. 'Pest' is the latest album by the Australian band, bound for a massive full-fledged reissue with brand new packaging very soon on Transcending Obscurity.          Line up -  ADR - Vocals, lyrics  Forge - All instruments    <a href="http://transcendingobscurity.bandcamp.com/album/pest-dissonant-black-metal">Pest (Dissonant Black Metal) by Norse (Australia)</a> Official TO Bandcamp -   https://trans

Apostate – Time Of Terror (2015) Ferrum Records Ukraine's oldest protagonists of old school doom APOSTATE will unleash their hellish and horror inspired sophomore album "Time of Terror" on March 02, 2015 through FERRRUM Records . The sound on Apostate's "Time Of Terror" is massive. Great walls of dark, opaque guitars crashing down, chugging along at a tempo that conveys an urgency and brooding sense of menace. There's something almost regal about Apostate; their sound maintains that sedate, classy Continental vibe but holds onto a tension and aggression, even in the slowest songs. Fans of Anathema, Hooded Menace and Eye of Solitude will be salivating at the prospect of this unholy feast of doomed death metal fury! An epic statement and a watershed in doom metal, location be damned. Time Of Terror Tracklisting: 1. Solar Misconception 2. Pale Reflection 3. Pain Served Slow 4. Memory Eclipse 5. World Undying Apostate is: Alexander Kostko

One-man project ZONER back with new, second album ZONER is the one-man project of seasoned musician Antonis Demetriou based in Nicosia, Cyprus. Drawing from all of his favorite musical influences Antonis manages to convince that he is a determined, passionate and gifted songwriter and performer. All instruments and vocals, arrangements and overall production are by Antonis himself making it very clear that the result is that of pure labor of love. In his own words, Antonis describes ZONER as “a rock/metal band with influences ranging from 'ABBA to Zappa' via all the VERY best in pop, rock, prog, punk, funk, disco, hard, heavy and thrash!” ZONER songs cover a pretty wide musical spectrum and tend to deviate from the norm. From acoustic rock to full blown metal and anything in between, sometimes all these elements within one song, there is something for everyone. Plain and simply ZONER is an aural rewarding journey into the unknown, especially if you miss the way re

CENDRA (Spain) - 666 Bastards (Black/Thrash Metal, January 1st, 2015, Xtreem Music) ​ Here's some rabid old school-spirited black/thrash metal that no one can get enough of. It's the essence of the genre transformed into something fricking cool, catchy and with enough attitude to make you want to be a part of it. It's the '80s style thrash/punk/first wave black metal with a better production, execution and oomph value. We're looking at the early works of SODOM, BATHORY, VENOM, HELLHAMMER and IMPALED NAZARENE, even BLASPHEMY, but that's really not enough because it's concocted with a vital dose of lethality and sharpness of the current standards. That makes it refreshing, powerful, energetic and so much fun.        <a href="http://xtreemmusic.bandcamp.com/album/666-bastards-2">666 Bastards by CENDRA</a>   Youtube sample -   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrCLRMxFJA4 Xtreem Music Bandcamp  -  https:/
