Metal Blade/Riot

Anima - Enter The Killzone (Metal Blade/Riot)

With an introduction that sounds like the combination of the score from an 80's sci-fi film and an unpleasent sexual encounter in the American deep South, this album is brutally uncomfortable listening.

Armored Saint – the unluckiest band in the history of metal?

Valkyrja - Contamination (Metal Blade/Riot)

They may not be spectacularly well known in the black metal scene, but this album could be set to change things for Valkyrja.

I cannot tell a lie: this album scared me.

Aeternam - Disciples Of The Unseen (Metal Blade/Riot)

This is a decent debut from Canada's latest death metal export, but enough with the sodding cymbals.

Six Feet Under - Graveyard Classics 3 (Metal Blade/Riot)

Chris Barnes and co put down the bong for just long enough to throw out another volume of fun covers.

Six Feet Under is nothing if not predictable – but I strongly suspect that’s much of their appeal.

The Red Chord - Fed Through The Teeth Machine (Metal Blade/Riot)

Being one of the earlier innovators of the deathcore genre, The Red Chord's latest effort Fed Through The Teeth Machine is a heavy assault on the ears: one that does not let go from beginning to end.

Deathcore. That word can either make or break a band for some metalheads, depending on which side of the fence they would sit: they either love it or despise it.

Eryn Non Dae - Hydra Lernaia (Metal Blade/Riot)

What do you get if you put Neurosis on stage with an epileptic and a cheese eating surrender monkey? No, it's not a sick, tasteless joke... it's Eryn Non Dae! Read on mes amis...
