Horn Of The Rhino - Summoning Deliverance
Sludge ice cream, with death metal sprinkles
These Spanish conquistadors are back in action. Continuing in the direction of Grengus, Summoning Deliverance is Horn Of The Rhino at perhaps their most violent yet. Gone are the days of the more relaxed vibes of their earlier material, in favor of some fast and nasty sludge, with a much more snarling type of vocal delivery from Javier Galvez, all wrapped up with some pleasantly surprising extreme metal elements. Crushing in every sense of the word.
Listen on Bandcamp, and cry to yourself over the label deciding that only streaming select tracks would be a good idea.

Jeff Loomis revealed on the latest Summer NAMM 2014 that he's going to start writing songs for his next solo album next month. He plans to be in the studio for it as early as this coming fall. It should be his last one within his contract with Century Media. Maybe after that we can expect the next Conquering Dystopia record. In the video below, he discussed his latest signature model from OG Schecter, as well as plans for the next months. Check it out. (by MrClansman1) Read more ›› |

The annual Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival! Great variety of bands, I always have a blast, it's always fun, the weather is always way too hot and this year's event was almost no exception. Yes, almost no exception; the timing of the festival couldn't be worse and the decision to split the Colorado show into two events didn't help the cause neither. (by D.T. Metal) Read more ›› |

Haapsalu is a small and beautiful Estonian resort town by the sea. Each July its quiet is disturbed by an invasion of owners and admirers of the American car industry. Shining cars, roaring engines, burning rubber, cruising, and a drag race on the airfield strip - American Beauty Car Show has got it all. If you're into all that, it's the place to be. Naturally, this also calls for musical entertainment of varied sorts, which somehow managed to grab my attention for the first time with only one name - Amaranthe. Just because I happen to like them.

Coram Lethe - ...A Splendid Chaos (2009)
...A Splendid Chaos is the third album of the Italian melodic death metal band Coram Lethe. The fact that they have a female vocalist is bound to draw in comparisons with Arch Enemy, so let's address it now. Erica's voice does resemble Angela's angry vocals, as their tones are quite similar; but Erika sometimes sound like a female Chuck Schuldiner too. Plus, she can do some nice deep growls! This said, let's check the music, shall we? Well, even if we're speaking of melodic...

Cynic
At the end of January 2008, the Wacken Open air organization "accidentally" booked the "wrong" Cynic. They believed they had booked the US Technical/Progressive Death Metal band while they have had negotiations with the UK NWOBHM band Cynic. When they realized their "mistake" in February they brusquely scrapped UK Cynic from their line up roster. A few weeks later they confirmed that US Cynic would be playing WOA 2008.
Tim Batkin, UK Cynic drummer commented: "German people have an enviable and just reputation for thoroughness and attention to detail, so it is very disappointing to report that during negotiations for Cynic to play at Wacken (including telephone conversations to and from England), that whilst they booked and promoted a "British heavy metal band from Worcester, England", they (Wacken organizer Thomas) believed he had entered into contract with a thrash metal band from the US.
Dear Thomas (ever the promoter professional), when he realised his error (well, in fact, he sent our team a link to Wikipedia of Cynic U.S. and asked if that was us), and when receiving the negative response, binned us from the show.
So, sorry, guys, we won't be playing. If anyone could suggest another venue, we would be all ears to come and play. In the meantime, and putting this distraction behind us, we will crack on with the album and get it out to you."
