What we have here is basic and in your face death metal the old school way, packed with lots of rhythmic sections, tight drumming parts and a bit more complicated guitar solos.

3rd album by Ketzer. The group has switched its sound away from more traditional extreme metal and presents an album that will definitely appeal to a wider audience. Imagine a blend of Tribulation with Ghost, but in a less imaginative way. The only extreme here is the vocal delivery. Time will tell if their choice was right.

Debut album by Lord Fist. The album’s music is filled with speed/heavy metal elements, '80s atmosphere, given magically through modern techniques. The music is simple, nicely built, nourishing mind and soul. The sound is warm, authentic, old school and stripped down so it stays loyal to the times they take their inspiration from.

8th album by Fleshless. There is nothing new here, just dark brutality, excellent execution and neck-breaking music played by a bunch of guys who’ve been around long enough (22 years!) to do it perfect. Their base is death metal and this time a thrashy edge can clearly found in their sound.

The solos and general riff speed is what makes everything flow here with little effort and a lot of energy.

3rd album by A Forest Of Stars. It is not a black metal band in the conventional sense as they have a lot of avant-garde elements in their music. Keyboards, piano, accordion and plenty of violin ornament their expansive compositions, with the violin playing an important melodic role in just about every song. It is over an hour long, but it's presented so well that it's eminently listenable.

What we have here is something between the norwegian and french black metal scene, with some crusty touches and a vocal delivery that ranges from distorted screams to clean vocals. A promising and entertaining release!

7th album by Sadist. The group delivers 10 well crafted and technical songs of progressive death metal. The lyrics are about Africa, so they use some weird keys and tribal rhythms to pay homage to this continent. Apart from the awful sound of the drums, all the other elements are truly magnificent.

3rd album by Ramming Speed. Kurt Ballou handled the production of this release and the result is a modern hybrid of death'n'roll mixed with crossover. Thrashing solos and riffing played with hardcore attitude, totally aggressive, groovy, moshing, but something is missing here. Maybe the lack of catchiness, perhaps the lack of their own identity.

2nd album by S.D.I. Not the most original band in the world, with the speedy riffing coming in with a huge sense of speedy/power metal with pretty intensive and powerful drumming. This is a very accessible record for all fans of metal and leaves a lasting impression on the listener. This album remains arguably the most criminally underrated effort from the european metal underground.

The first 'ep by Ranger. 5 songs that flirt a lot with thrash metal (an element aborted in later releases). There is some melody here and there some dual leads but mostly this is speed and more speed. The lyrics are a tad cheesy but they work with this kind of music. High-octane, ripping speed metal savagery!
