First demo of this mysterious San Francisco based band consisting of three tracks and a small interlude ("Bedrooms"), mostly mid-tempo arrangements with a good and solid structure that leave a rather pessimistic feeling overall. The whole atmosphere (especially the fast parts) remind us of Wolves in the Throne Room,Woe and Amesoeurs... Really nice debut,awaiting for more in the future! Check them out :)

What a great band they were (one of our all time favorites by the way), a real shame they split up... Awesome melodies that remain in the listener's ear for good,a very good production and this whole evil & blasphemous atmosphere (the female vocals add a lot to this)... "Blasphemy" doesn't reach the high standards of Demigod but it's a hell of a release!
Requested by Dark, enjoy our friend! Unfortunately we don't have Ninnghizhidda's demos, if someone can help us out with these we would be more than grateful :)

Another excellent band in the Symphonic Black Metal genre since it seems it's the most popular in our blog and we enjoy it a lot; Eerie keyboards, catchy melodies (more than one in nearly every song!), good spoken English structure & lyrics (especially for a Japanese band) and guitar solos are Tyrant's main music aspects - get to know them if you haven't already!

First EP of this promising Greek Death Metal band - cutting edge riffs,aggressive vocals and some great drumming are their basic elements,what's really noticeable though is their young age (all between 16 to 18!) and the crystal clear production,a sure plus especially for the Greek scene...

Despite the weird name choice AAFCC's music is damn great : Mostly keyboard (and especially piano) driven which gives the overall melancholic tone combined with doomy (but clean) guitars,an audible bass and vocals varying from harsh to desperate ones. All these added to the neat production,poetic & indifferent lyrics/song titles and great artwork sum up to an awesome album!
One of the greatest releases of 2010 so far and one of the best debuts ever,this band has a really bright future.

Lesser known but perhaps a class of its own in the Greek underground scene. Lots of keyboards,(mostly) symphonic BM (and even Power) influences and arrangements and a great female operatic voice combined with the harsh male one altogether blend to a pleasant & interesting result - just if the production was a little better,way too common when we're talking for Greek bands unfortunately...
