Capitollium--Bloodfall_of_Flesh-Promo-2008-UBE

Some Dark/Black Metal. To much keyboard for my flavor, but it's listenable. No Cover yet. Track 8 is a Behemoth cover.

Bloodbath-The_Wacken_Carnage-2008-QTXMp3

This is some days older by now, but still a worthy release for fans of Bloodbath.
It's the whole Wacken festival session from 2005, which was also Åkerfeldt's last performance with Bloodbath until 2008. Nice tracklist and enjoyable quality.

Hackneyed-Death_Prevails-(Advance)-2008-FNT

'Nuclear Blast recruiting Kiddies now?' could be the right question, considering that
the youngest member of this band is 14 years old (and he's the guitarist). Yeah, raw, but put that aspect apart cause they don't play some dull 100x copied Metalcore but rather a pretty good mix between Death with some Grind influences. Worth a listen!

Nachtmystium-Assassins_Black_Meddle_Pt_1-2008-FNT

Fnt has released the new record by US. (ex-) Black Metal band Nachtmystium.

" - Assassins: Black Meddle Pt. 1; Recording will begin in December 2007 with the projected release date set for the first quarter of 2008. The album will be a departure from their black metal sound, exploring dark psychedelia and atmosphere. The name of the album is a reference to their Pink Floyd influences."

I haven´t heard the new record yet, but I hope they dont fuck things up!

At least they still got an impressive lineup consisting of Members from Goatwhore, Twillight (U.S.) and of course the incredible Tony Laureano on drums :)

Scar_Symmetry-Holographic_Universe-(Advance)-2008-SCARSYMMETRY

There was a p2p version floating around the web some days ago, but it lacked so much
on quality. Here's the real scene rip and it really sounds better.
I'm sure this will please many Melo-Death fans for a while, Drums aren't as heavy
as on the older records, it's all around even more Melodic. They also didn't re-invent
the genre with this record. :P
