Azmaveth - Strong as Death
Black, death, and thrash are deftly intertwined on the crushing debut from full length from Azmaveth. Hailing from Puerto Rico, Azmaveth delivers a more unique style than most, relying on harsh black metal melodies and blinding drumming, chunky death and thrash-influenced riffing, and a flavor of flamenco and classical guitar harkening back to their deep Hispanic roots. What results is a carefully crafted album that succeeds in building up, ripping the listener's head off, calming down in a soothing manner, only to return to more crushing rhythms. Azmaveth is definitely extreme metal, but the true classification stops there, as the band is not easily pigeon-holed. "Strong As Death" is sure to delight fans of extreme metal, death metal, black metal, thrash, and those who like their metal harsh and unpredictable.

Objekt4 - Shades of Night
Objekt4 was formed in 2003 by Sweden´s Anders Peterson with the aim of expanding cinematic sound design into music, by creating hybrids with field recordings and musical instruments/approaches. The objective was to create musical ambiance rather than ambient music. ´Shades of Night´ is Objekt4´s 6th full-length release. Objekt4 expands on his early albums with a hybrid approach between various nocturnal ambience, brilliantly combining unique sounds into something that transcends the individual noise. Field recordings of the night blend with musical instruments, analogue feedback, and distant voices. The world of Objekt4 combines the crackling of a small distant fire in light rain with the singing of night birds, a far off lighthouse foghorn intertwines with the chaos of an insect swarm. Electric guitar, gongs, plate bells, crotales, and a 12-string acoustic guitar all seep out of the darkness to add their contribution. That Objekt4 can amass these separate sources and construct them into a perfectly blended atmospheric piece is where the beauty and mystery of shades of night comes out of the void and reveals itself in all its glory.

Screams of Chaos - Genetic War
Our subject consists primarily of black and extreme metal, with death metal and cyber-industrial thrown in, over slamming drum work with a really punishing double pedal. Heavy bass guitars, combined with a lot of crunching, chomping, and riffing guitar work, with some cyber-industrial sampling here and there. All this breathing and seething black, extreme, and death vocals stray around the "theme" of the CD, Genetic War. Screams of Chaos talk about battling evil, and battling anything else that would not be of God. Definitely well produced and a must buy if you're a fan of the extreme and black metal genres. It is along the lines of In Flames, Extol, and Horde. Retroactive Re-issue

Karmakanic - Wheel Of Life
When a band's instrumentation contains such entities as Hammond organ, flute, and Yembe, you kind of have an idea that the outfit is a bit progressive. Such is the case with Karmakanic, a quartet whose opening track runs nearly 15 minutes long and whose eight-track endeavor runs over one hour. Needless to say, these guys like to jam, and if you have a penchant for lush melodies extended to the max with overly proficient musicians going off like there's no tomorrow, then check out the somewhat masturbatory but overall sensory overloaded Wheel of Life.

Viscera/// - Cyclops
Viscera/// is very strong and quickly progressing experimental post-metal/post-grind band coming from Cremona, Italy. Viscera/// started as a pure grind band and transformated through experimental grindcore sound to powerful post-metal madness. Heavily influenced by late Carcass & Nasum and such well-known artcore/post-metal bands like Isis, Pelican, Neurosis and some others, Viscera/// made their own solid and spinecrushing sound which united their blasting grindcore roots with drone experiments and slow, low-tuned heaviness of extreme post-metal and sludge. "Cyclops" is their upcoming debut album and second upcoming release on Apocalypse Now Music . No need to mention that this crushing piece of experimental extreme music could be a high-rated position in catalogues of labels like Hydra Head, Relapse, Ipecac & Neurot Recordings so we're glad to be a company who discovered and introduce you another beautiful post-metal band called Viscera///.
