ANGELKILL - Beauty is ony skin deep, until it is removed (Black/Death Metal)
RIGOR SARDONICUS - Expect only the slowest and heaviest sounds, defined as raw, apocalyptic doom (Doom Metal)
They call themselves, Rigor Sardonicous. What one can expect from them is among the slowest and heaviest sounds, defined as raw, apocalyptic doom. They lie in a realm between Death Metal and Doom Metal with an extreme emphasis on the heavy. They are better experienced rather than described, and they are not for everyone. They are writing their 6th album and will be recording a live release this summer. They also have a split 7″ with Persistence In Mourning coming out late 2009, early 2010.
LEGIONS OF WAR - Blackened War Metal from Sweden (Death Metal)
LEGIONS OF WAR, coming from Sweden, they play some sort of mix between old Thrash and melodic Black Metal. They’re often described as a hybrid between Kreator, Sodom, Venom and Dissection and well, I guess it’s an honest description of their music. It’s about war so why not call it War Metal, dirty and mean but still a beautiful caress of your ears!! For the moment they are rehearsing for a gig and after that they’re going to concentrate on their new songs and give the world some new hits from Sweden!! There also going to be some new T-shirts printed in the near future…..
VASTATOR - Chilean Heavy Metal with Balls (Heavy Metal)
Vastator is one of the most classic Chilean Metal bands influenced by several art styles but specially by legends of metal like Judas Priest, Manowar and Mercyful Fate. Their shows are full of metal, leather and bangers making a real entropy! They have 5 albums and a self-made dvd with the band’s history. This interview was sent in all caps, I mean the answers, so I have to change it the lazy way. That means, I didn’t edit the answers one by one, so if there are small letters (in supposed to be big letters), then bear with it. No idea why people in South America always wrote like this! FUCKING BRUTAL DEVIL DEAL!! HAIL JUAN!!!1!!
RAMPART- Classic Heavy Metal band from Bulgaria (Heavy Metal)
RAMPART is a young classic heavy metal band from Bulgaria. Our aim is to be a bastion of the metal in our country. We have a plenty of concerts at festivals and clubs in Bulgaria for the last three years. Usually at live gigs except our songs we play also covers of Running Wild, Grave Digger, Iron Maiden, Helloween, Metallica, Mot?rhead, W.A.S.P and others. We try to find the balance between the author’s songs and covers to keep the attention of our audience. Bur the visitors of our concerts could expect even to hear Slayer’s cover. It depends on the public’s activities and its moods. We confirmed participation in some Bulgarian festivals this summer.
STILLBORN - Manifiesto de Blasfemia CD
Hell yes! With this album, Polish Stillborn simply prooves that true Death Metal is not dead! With all the worthless bands jumping into the Brutal Death Bandwagon, at least I can still lay my hands on a handful of really good Death Metal bands out there and it happens that “Manifiesto de Blasfemia” is one of those. Stillborn delivers true brutality in this form of Death Metal; buzzing guitars, high pitch screams layered with deep growls, and a berzerking drummer that just came out from hell! Pure fucking hair power headbanging will be the only result after loading this disc on your poor little stereo. Tracks like “Death’s Coronation”, and Natural Born Destroyers” were the highlights for me. This is straight forward Death Metal that you should not miss.

CREST OF DARKNESS - Give Us the Power to Do Your Evil CD
Crest of Darkness is a Norwegian Black Metal quintet and this one is their 5th full length. The style is a generic mix between Death and Black Metal, however this time we can hear an interesting result. There are groovy parts which I am not a big fan of, but most of the tracks delivers nothing but brutal riffing which leads us to the path of raging Death Metal with a few technical “showdown” in them. The rhythm section is pretty solid. Bass guitars and the impressive drumming really gets the job done here! Black Metal elements can be distinguished mainly because of the twisted voices and the dark gloomy feeling that raises while listening to this album. This is a big improvement if we compare it with their early works. The band mastered their instruments, giving us now a dose of Tech Death Metal parts and elements of Modern Black Metal. The power has been granted to do this evil!

CARPATHIAN FOREST - Fuck You All!!!! CD
I love this CD and how I love watching other bands taking themselves seriously while shamelessly promoting their own work in some forums (or something like that). Norwegian Black Metal act, Carpathian Forest, will simply say Fuck You All since this CD is a big fuck off to all those oh-so-serious clowns already. This CD contains not only some of the ridiculous song titles I’ve ever seen but also has the craziest music to back it all up! “The Frostbitten Woodlands of Norway” is not going anywhere other than pure raw Black Metal itself. There are also tracks with pompous slapping bass guituhrs on them! One of these tracks simply entitled “The First Cut is the Deepest” and Rod Stewart can fuck off in there big time! This track owns. Heh. Some tracks were fast, some were groovy, some Thrashy, some Punk and others just sounds like Motorhead! Listening to this CD is a complete burning trip to wildfire. After you’ve bought yourself a lot of “serious oh-so-evil yet hopeless Black Metal releases, this CD is a remedy. It’s different and so what, fuck you all!
