Lions'den - Songbird
Rhy Dongju – All Instruments

Songbird Suite melodic piano in a very classical style. Prelude shredding guitars and blast beats drums with electronica. Ex blast beats scorching guitar and space rock keyboards to take a wild trip. Songbird mellow keyboards that drift along with electronica with a Tangerine Dream feel. Orca kick back and play air guitar to the excellent rhythms almost speed metal. Caged Pt1 nice soft melodies that just swirl around. Caged Pt2 space rock psychedelia with interesting turns. Resistance sounds of chains and dogs barking weird industrial vocals spoken words and jazz prog guitars. Horizon Pt1welcome back to the prog electronic of the 80s weird but strangely beautiful. Horizon Pt2 continues the builds heavier with industrial and space rock sounds. Epilogue kick back grab a brew and just jam away to some awesome musicianship.


Progenie Terrestre Pura – Starcross
Davide Colladon – Guitars, Emanuele Prandoni – Vocals, Fabrizio Sanna – Bass

Chant Of Rosha space rock psychedelia with spoken words reminds me of some Tangerine Dream.   Toward a Distant Moon drifting thru the black abyss of space lost and alone. Twisted Silhouette dark dreary dementia. The Greatest Loss mellow keyboards that lull you into a false sense of safety before annihilating you. Invocat industrial space sounds surrounding and invading your senses.  


Void of Silence – The Sky Over
Luca Soi – Vocals, Riccardo Conforti – Drums/Keyboards/Samples, Ivan Zara – Guitar/Bass

The Void Beyond space rock sounds surround and building louder around you moving towards a prog death metal vision. Abeona (Or Quietly Gone) starts with a Pink Floyd sound great soaring guitar leads and solid steady rhythms. The Sky Over drifting alone in space seeing lights of strange and beautiful origins. Adeona (Or Surfaced As Resonant Thoughts) out in the wilds alone and seeing many things you’re not sure if they are real or not. Farthest Shores soft drifting and swirling thru space and time into different dimensions. White Light Horizon is a strange with wonderful trip thru your mind maybe at the time of dying.


Mesarthim – The Density Parameter 
Vocals/Instruments –

Pi Symbol prog metal slowly building with melodic overtones gothic and death metal vocals. Collapse industrial and melodic prog death metal. Transparency classical sounds builds to a crescendo of dark sounds. 74% lost and along in the darkness of the black abyss of space and nothingness. Recombination pounding in your skull driving you mad. Fragmenting sounds of darkness slowly build and devour your soul.


Heads For The Dead – Serpents Curse
Ralf Hauber – Vocals, Erik Bevenrud – Drums, Matt Moliti – Guitar, Hakan Stuvemark – Guitar, Jonny Pettersson – Instruments

Serpents Curse rising from the pit of hell a dark sinister forces cover the earth. Head For The Dead dead heads rolling around without bodies trying to eat flesh. Deep Below deep and dreary souls try to overtake the living. Post Mortem Suffering the storm begins and just rips and tears at all. The Awakening being awakened from a deep sleep with the sound of air raid siren but its much worse than that. Death Calls deep dark blackness invades tour very essence. Of Wrath And Vengeance sneaking up behind your enemy and just ripping and tearing them to shreds. Gatecreeper Into The Great Beyond pulled into hell fighting for your very essence of existence. Return To The Fathomless Darkness sounds of war and strife black and demented. In Darkness You Feel No Regrets pounding thrashing slamming death and destruction.
