Black Crucifixion - "Faustian Dreams": no I didn't got into BM
, these guys now are a mixture of Tiamat and Sentenced, nice goth/dark metal.
Griffin - "Flight Of The Griffin": unbelievable I never got this one before, very catchy metal although the copy I have seems almost like a bootleg (regarding printing)
Fatal Force - "Fatal Force": debut of this melodic metal/hard rock project with Mats Leven on vocals. The guitar (whose name escapes me now) is very talented and not another shredder.
Cellador - "Enter Deception": debut LP of a fantastically fast power metal from USA that plays in a very "Euro" power mood, higly recommended for 2006.
Bloden-Wedd - "Eyes Of Horus": third slab from this great Chilean outfit (I need only their second album now) which plays power metal also in a "Euro" mood (no keys thankfully). This is a 2006 re-issue with a bonus track and a video.
Sabaton - "Attero Dominatus": the jewel of the haul. The great Swedish revelation (along with Wolf) comes for the second year in a row with a great war-driven lyrically album that kick ass big time, as in "Primo Victoria" the album starts with a song about the defeat of WWII Nazis and closes with a extremely funny metal praise song, another big contender for the top 5 albums of 2006.
