Anubis Gate - Horizons
Girlfriend Metal
Following up their excellent self-titled uh... fifth album, most fans knew that this album was going to be a disappointment. Suffering the loss of a founding guitarist and drummer, the odds were on a steaming pile of Danish doo-doo. Yet somehow, this album comes out like a delicious wienerbrød. Still one of the only bands that I can never seem to figure out when songs are going to end or begin, the structures are interesting enough to avoid boring us to death with ordinary melodic prog/power metal. If you want a band that knows how to write great catchy songs without all the plague of pompousness that most modern prog metal suffers from, you may enjoy this.

Flotsam & Jetsam - Once In A Deathtime (2008)
It's good to have some news about Flotsam & Jetsam, a band which clearly deserves more recognition and success. Back in the 80's when Thrash Metal has started to become famous, Flotsam And Jetsam was popular, sure it wasn't Anthrax or Metallica but it was a respected band and God know why, they've just disappeared of the spirit of the metalheads... They've always been active but this is the release of the good "Dreams Of Death" which has led them again to the road...
