BongCauldron – Binge
Corky – Bass /Vocals, Biscuit – Guitar/Vocals, Jay- Drums
Devil is excellent stoner rock with lots of fuzz and
distortion guitar. Bury Your Axe In The
Crania Of is slow plodding bass then the rest of the band kicks in with a very
Sabbath sound. 68 is a faster speed
metal style of song in the Motorhead meets Sabbath vein. Binge is slow plodding stoner rock. Bigfoot Reigns is a mid-tempo kicks you in the
gut gets you rockin grooving song. Hopeless is a slow Sabbath style o song with
some excellent guitar work. Toxic Boglin
slow steady and deadly and vicious. Yorkshire Born is Sabbath meets Motorhead
meets Raven.
Crosss – Snakes Split EP
Snakes - Brett
Nelson, Ian Waters, Josh Galloway, Jim Roth, Steve Gere
Old Like Hell 9 minutes of melodic psychedelia. Hypothermia Pt2 is over 15 minutes of is just
strange flowing instrumental music that reminds me of Tangerine Dream.
Crosss – Andy March – Guitar/Vocal, Suzie Burke –
Drums/Vocals, Michael Stein – Bass
Cold Hands reminds me of old Pink Floyd meets stoner rock
slow and tripping. The Afterlight is
another stoner meet psychedelia style of music meets the Stones. I Got Lo takes you on a trip far away into
your mind has an Amboy Dukes feel to it mixed with Pink Floyd. Descent takes you into the further reaches of
your mind where you’re not sure what is real.
Castle – Welcome To The Graveyard
Mat Davis – Guitar/Vocals, Liz Blackwell – Vocals/Bass, Al
Mcartney - Drums
Black Widow has a great riff that has you movin and grooving
with some excellent female vocals.
Hammer and The Cross is another excellent metal song that has you playin
air guitar and drums along with excellent vocals and great guitar work. Welcome To The Grave Yard is a melodic heavy
metal song with some interesting lyrics and foot tapping riffs. Veil of Death starts of solely with some
excellent guitars and vocals then shredding guitar and a fist pumping riff
these people know how to rock. Flash Of
The Pentagram is straight forward Motorhead style of head banging metal. Traitors Rune is power metal at its finest
with a Dio style and feel excellent to sing along to as well. Down in The Cauldron Bog is melodic at first
with some excellent guitar that slowly builds and shred at the perfect times. Natural Parallel is an excellent way to end
this great metal album lots of riffs and feelings with great vocals.
Bell
Witch – Mirror Reaper
Dylan Desmond – Bass/Vocals, Jesse Schreibman –
percussion/Hammond B3/ Vocals
Mirror Reaper get ready to sit back and just enjoy a 83
minute song that starts very slowly tripping away and very slowly builds in
intensity mix gothic metal and hard rock with Tangerine Dream that’s what you
have here.
Exhumed – Death Revenge
Michael Bud Burke – Guitar/Vocals, Michael Hamilton – Drums,
Matthew Harvey – Guitar/Vocals, Ross Sewage – Bass/Vocals
Death Revenge Overture is a very melancholic intro to
Defenders Of The Grave which comes on full force in your face with vocals that
seems to come from a demons mouth and hard heavy riffs with blast beats. Lifeless is slower but just as ferocious in
nature then it just kicks you in the teeth. Dead End has more of a metal intro with some
amazing riffs and drumming then it grabs you by the throat and won’t let go. Night Work has a Slayer style with more dark
vocals. Unspeakable is punk death speed
thrash metal in your face punching away.
Grave Markers of Edinburg is an orchestral instrumental then The
Harrowing punches you in the throat and just annihilates you. A Funeral Party more Slayer meets Death in your
face pummeling. The Anatomy Act Of 1832
slow piano works its way into your brain like a worm then several time changes
from fast to mid to slow continue thru the song. Incarnadined Hands reminds me of Destruction
from Germany
fast heavy with deep gruff vocals. Death
Revenge is more punk meets metal meets death metal ferocity.
