Sybreed

Industrial/Groove Metal / / Sybreed has done it again! Fourth amazing album in a row. And this one is maybe even their best! Cyber/industrial metal with djenty flavour in their own unique way = brilliant. (9.5/10)

The Omega Experiment
- The Omega Experiment
Progressive Metal / / An awesome modern prog with touch of avant-garde. You can hear that this guys are clearly influenced by Devin Townsend, but they are not copycats by any means, you can say that they play similar style but have done it in their own brilliant way.. A great album and a big surprise by pretty unknown band.. (9/10)

Tempus Fusion
- To End It All
Progressive Metal / / Discovery of the year for me. A great new band from UK, with their Self-released album. A modern djenty prog with great melodies and nice ambient. For the fans of Tesseract, Devin Townsend, Gojira... A shame they are so unknown.. (9/10)

Progressive Melodic Black Metal / / If someone ask me to describe this album in 3 words, I would say: creative, fresh, unique. It's definitely a bright future ahead of this band. And yes, violin and metal just go together brilliantly (check out Dominia too ;) (9/10)
