Revenge - Vendetta

Genre: Speed/Heavy
Country: Colombia
Year: 2012

1. Vendetta
2. Deal My Soul With Satan
3. Maniac Behavior
4. Possessed By Devil's Music
5. Renegade
6. Wail From The Crypts
7. Sadistic Perversions
8. Riding In Hell
9. Confessa Tuoi Peccati

5th album by Revenge. The band continues spreading their speed metal, a year after their successful 4th album. This time they continue in the same levels of quality, producing another killer release (probably in my top for 2012 for this genre), with catchy as hell riffing, entertaining moments combining perfectly heavy with speed and sometimes thrash.

Heretic - A Time Of Crisis

Genre: Thrash/Power
Country: U.S.A.
Year: 2012

1. The Divine Inquisition
2. Tomorrow’s Plague
3. Betrayed
4. Remains
5. A Time Of Crisis
6. For Your Faith
7. Raise Your Fist
8. Heretic
9. Child Of War
10. Police State
11. The End Of The World
12. Let Me Begin Again

2nd album by Heretic, a band that released a great album back in 1988, then dismissed and now reunited (with 2 past-members). Their music is most firmly rooted in the thrash metal genre, although there are plenty of slower paced elements that puts in mind of traditional heavy/power metal. Melodic without being wimpy, aggressive without being extreme. You’re not going to hear the next big thing, whatever that is, on this release.

Spectral - Gateway To Death

Genre: Viking/Black/Power
Country: Germany
Year: 2012

1. Intro
2. Lord Of Fire
3. Tank Attack
4. Forces Of Evil
5. Gateway To Death
6. Into Oblivion
7. Dark Traveller
8. Death Of A King
9. Curse Of The Black Sea
10. Mountain Of Madness

5th album by Spectral. This release can be classified as melodic death metal, but restricting ourselves to this label would be to overlook the great work they do to sound like a mixture of different styles, such as black, thrash, folk, pagan and even power. The guitar riffs ranging from moments black, death coming to enter the thrash and power. The keyboards do not take center stage on guitar, maintaining an aggressive sound and powerful but largely give that point of pagan or viking with a dose of epic.

Amazing debut album by Vacant Throne. It's a concept album about the spanish conquest of the Aztecs in the 16th century and it combines heavy metal, epic in times, with '80s power metal.Each track has its unique traits, but the atmosphere fastens them together, forming a nearly inseparable merging of epic power metal songs. A really promising debut.
