Obstacles-Decomposition_Of_Movement-2008-pLAN9

From the nfo: "Obstacles is the creative partnership between friends. The rest is sound." Not that much info and sadly, I can't find much about them, neither. At least three tracks from their record are online at myspace. Sounds not bad to me, you might want to give it a try if you like any of those Genres.

Ephrat-No_Ones_Words-Promo-2008-AMRC

"Let’s welcome a new and extremely promising progressive rock act from Israel whose songs stand for a successful balancing act between traditional elements and the future of the genre. The band is called Ephrat, has found renowned supporters in Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree), who mixed their debut album No One..s Words, and guest vocalists Daniel Gildenlöw (Pain Of Salvation) and Petronella Nettermalm (Paatos), and delivers a colourful mix of European influences and the atmospheric tone sequences of the Middle East - the benchmark data of a new group could hardly be more promising."

Norma_Jean-The_Anti_Mother-2008-PTK

Most famous reencode pirates from PTK hopefully had their own source on this one and didn't steal it from elsewhere. Didn't listen to it, so can't say anything 'bout the sound of the rip. The cover from PTK, which is titled -Proof- however is the worst Proof in the world, it's the exact same picture that I found with google in not even 30 seconds. Releaseday only 4 days ahead, so if there are any flaws in the PTK release, I think a Proper will follow soon.

"Norma Jean is a Christian metalcore/mathcore band from Douglasville, Georgia, USA, a suburb of Atlanta."
/edit: Norma Jean-The_Anti_Mother-2008-FNT is out now.

Lower_Hell-Asphyxia-(EP)-2008-SGV (Demo)

Good cover artwork and the fact that the album was recorded in cooperation with Fear My Thoughts convinced me to post this, I've no idea if this is good, check for yourself if you are prepared for some Deathcore. Obsolete name of these guys was 'Lies Behind
The Smile'.
