SUMMONING The Dawn of The Old Age

SUMMONING, duo coming from Austria, have succeeded to create yet another masterpiece, entitled ”Old Morning Dawn”. Comparing to their previous records I could say, that the brand new material is indeed original and very inspiring. I have to say that I was indeed surprised with the upcoming record, but, at the end it turned to…

CARACH ANGREN Haunting Echoes from the 17th Century

Definitely, CARACH ANGREN is the most promising band who has released a debut full-length in 2008. Both Grave (Metal Sound fellow scriber) and I are agreeing that these three musicians have a good chance to become a great group in the future. Lammendam, their 1st album, has so much to offer, from intensive changes of…

DIMMU BORGIR Chess With the Abyss

Abrahadabra is the title of the upcoming Dimmu Borgir’s full-length. While their previous record ‘’ In Sorte Diaboli’’ was, more or less, done in the typical band’s way, already the first track ‘’Gateways’’ has unveiled some new and fresh elements in Borgir’s music. Since ICS Vortex and Mustis are not a part of the band…

SIRENIA Sirens of the Seven Seas

Clearly enough, Norwegian-based Sirenia is one of my favorites when it comes to Goth Metal. Their sound is much epic-like, aside of Goth and female-vocals elements. So far, Morten & co. have ublished 3 full-lengths and the 4th one is entitled “The 13th Floor“. Actually, they changed their style much with the 3rd issue “Nine…
