Catamenia-VIII_The_Time_Unchained-Digipak-2008-GRAVEWISH

How could this have been missed? it's in stores for a month now, but no group really cared about it. Maybe there was already a Promo around which I missed, but it would've had Voice Over's anyway, like any other Massacre Records Promo. Luckily, GW now brought us a digipag copy of the 8th studio output from Catamenia.

Legion_Of_The_Damned-Cult_Of_The_Dead-Promo-2008-QTXMp3

One of the last unreleased big hits this year is finally available in digital audio format, thanks to QTX. Unfortunately, like the last other Massacre records releases (Sinister Promo etc.), this has VO's. Streetdate is scheduled for December, 19, so still a long wait for fans of this band. Only first 2 tracks without, so you might still enjoy those.

Darkseed-Give_Me_Light-Remastered-2008-GRAVEWISH

"For many fans of gothic metal, Darkseed remains one of the strongest names in the history of the genre. Hailing from Munich, Germany, the band recorded several astonishing albums, mixing death metal with elements of doom and progressive rock, as well as some 80s and 70s-inspired guitar work. The result was always different, but never far from amazing. Give Me Lightö, the groups third full-length LP, brings a truly memorable metal experience, joining a handful of various musical inspirations and turning them into one intense gothic manifestation. New digipak edition limited
to 2000 copies. Digitally remastered using 24-Bit process on golden disc."

One_Man_Army_And_the_Undead_Quartet-Grim_Tales-Promo-2008-QTXMp3

Johan Lindstrand´s (ex- The Crown, Impious) new band One Man Army And The Undead Quartet has got another record out. After their last 2 albums, which were kinda disappointing to me, I hope Lindstrand will be abled to keep up with the good work he did with his legendary Death Metal band "The Crown".
I haven't listened to "Grim Tales" yet, but as I´ve heard it contains voice overs... If you can´t wait for the retail version than grab the qtxmp3 promo release.
And never forget to support the music you like or these guys won´t be here next year.

Eisregen-Knochenkult-DE-2008-BERC

New Eisregen (Icerain) material :D
I think it's enjoyable even without the lyrics, though those are a essential element of Eisregen's style due to the excessive use of repulsive, nauseate writings. The new Eisregen stuff never kept up to their old records since 'Wundwasser' for me, but fans might still give it a try. All of you that don't know Eisregen may want to try 'Krebskolonie' (1998) first, as it was one of the bands greatest records in my opinion.

Digipak will have the Bonustrack `Blut Ist Leben´ (Blood is Life).
