Dire Omen--- Wresting  The  Revelation Of  Futility  cd {Dark  Descent  Records}
Canada's  Dire Omen   have  released their  debut  cd  through  the  mighty   Dark Descent  rec.  And  what a  debut  this  is  mixing  old-school  heavy death  metal  with  some  black metal  influences.The  guitars  are top  notch  with  heavy death metal  guitars  and  some of the  songs  have the   early blackend   riffs  within the songs.The drumming  is  heavy  with  some  fast drum patterns  before  going to  a  more controlled  mid paced  range.The vocals  are  low  death  growls and the production  is  a  little rough  sounding  but  you  can  hear  each  instrument  without  any trouble.A very  good  release  of  heavy  death metal  with  some  old-school blackend  metal  within a few  of  the  songs.

Endless Recovery--Resistant Bangers  7inch   {Witches  Brew  Rec..}
Endless Recovery  come  out  of Greece's   thrash metal  scene  with a  brand new  7inch .Featuring  two  songs  of hyper speed   thrash.Endless Recovery  do  a  great  job  of  writing  excellent thrash  anthems  with  extremely fast  and  catchy  drums  and the  guitars  are  equally  as  fast  with  some excellent  riffs  and few  solo's  mixed  in the songs.The  vocalist  does a  great  job   combing  gruff screams and  vocals  with  some  higher  pitched  screams  in a few  sections.If  you  are  a  thrash  maniac  then  I  would  suggest  getting  this  7inch  before  their  gone and I  believe  the  band  is  working  on a  new  cd  to  be  released  by  Witches  Brew  sometime  next  year.

Satarial--Lunar Cross  cd   {Black  Plague Rec./Metallic Media}
Russia's  Satarial   have  released  their  newest  cd   "Lunar Cross"  through  Black  Plague Rec. and Metallic Media  as  a  split  release.I  have  not  heard  all of Satarial's  release  but  I  have  heard a couple  of their  older  ones  and  by  far  the   new  cd   Lunar Cross  is  their  best  work  to  date.Lunar Cross  is  the  bands  sixth  cd to date  and   with a  healthy  dose of  atmospheric  black metal  with  touches  of  traditional fast black metal.The  guitars  are  done  extremely  well  with   a lot  of  creative  ideas and  arrangements.The  vocals  are  range  from  black metal  screams  with  a female vocalist  who does a great  job  and the  two  vocal  patterns together  sound  really  good together.If  you  are a  fan  of  this  band  or you  enjoy  creative atmospheric  black  metal  you  should  give  this  band  a  listen  today.

Skady--When  Sun  Disapeared  cd   {Black  Plague Rec./Metallic Media}
Germany's  Skady   have  released  their  third  cd   "When  Sun  Disapeared"  this  is  a  good  but  not  great  release going  from  a  fast  to  mid-paced range.The  guitars  are   fast but  do  slow to  a  more  controlled  slower   pace.And the drumming  is  done in the  same  vein.Like  I  mentioned  in the  beginning  this   is  not  a  horrible  release  but  something  I  probably  won't  listen to  very  often.but  defintly  check  out  the  labels  as they  both  have tons  of  great black,death,doom,thrash etc.. releases and  distro  items
