After
the reviews we decided to start also to interivew underground bands,
today we'll start talking you about Six Days Of May, an italian
metalcore from Milano that have released a demo and a single in 2012.
To talk about their wishes and their future planes we have interviewed their singer Giacomo Cherubini
First, what is the meaning of the band name?
G: We were looking for something of interesting and ed effective. About our name we choosed something we also liked.
Can talk us about how many people are in the band?
G. We are six: Giacomo (clean vocals), Marcello (scream), Marco
(guitar), Rashid (guitar), Federico (bass guitar) e Giulio (drums)
What kind of music do you play?
G: We play a mixture of metalcore and alternative with some electronic music influences.
Which are the band that influence most your music?
G: We'll not answer like other bands that say every band member have a
big and different background. Everyone in our band listen to metal
music, but also a lot of mainstream music.
When we write a song we
are influenced for the big part by n Flames, Architects, Killswitch
Engage, Soilwork, Periphery e Meshuggah

Today I'll talk you about the first ep of a young finnish band, Delirium.
Contrast is a 3 songs demo with some sound problem.
These guys play an interesting mixture of thrash and death metal, indeed the ep has a lot of intersting moments.
The opener, Superiority is a good thrash metal song.
Suffocate the will, is in my opinion the best song because of its interesting vocal parts and it's good lyrics.
End this scene is the more aggressive song in the ep, in here take priority their death metal side.
Finally this album is funny but the not good sound and ruins some moments.
Rating: 67/100(because of the sound)

For some reason i don't understand only death metal bands reach me for a review.
Indeed today I'll talk you about Frozen Hell an Italian melodic death metal band.
This guys play a really energic swedish melodeath metal with sometime, classic metal riffs.
Forzen Hell released in 2013 an ep called RIse!,the one i will talk about, with six solid song and one intro.
The opener Useless Memories shows what the band is able to do, it's a classical melodeath song with some really good moments.
Face me is the most aggressive song in the ep, really good.
The title-track use some not really original guitar part but the song
appear really solid because of the great refrain, that will remain for a
long time on your mind.
This song is followed by Interrupted and
Unti the day break, two good song with great melodic moment. Until the
day break remaind me in some moment of viking metal, expecially the
vocals.
The ep is brought to the end by Pursuit of Death, a medley with to Amon Amarth song Pursuit of Death and Death on FIre
Maybe these guys don't invent nothing but they play an honest
melo-death metal, perfect for the moment when you are angry, and they've
done in this ep their work in a good way.

There are a lot of way to spend a good quarter of an hour.
One of this way is to listen Deconstruct The Aeons, first ep by the english deathsters Nihilism Incarnate.
The opener Eat,Shit,Die is a really impressive and aggressive death
metal song that shows a big technical preparation and that will
surprise with his riffs and solos. The song, after a little
introduction, starts with a really aggressive vocal part, and in my
opinion is one of the hilighlight of this ep.
Dark Matter, the
longer song in this ep, and The Lord Prey(er), are more melodic and
progressive but not for this reason less interesting, with some really
good slowdowns.
The last song is Butcher Bludgeon another good intense death song.
Maybe the songs and the lyrics are not too much original but this ep is a really good point of start for a really good band .

The
Warwore Ep,published in 2012,is the first release by Zix,a band formed
in Beirut in 1998. These guys play a really good traditional heavy metal
inspired principally by manowar, iron maiden and Crystal Viper but also
with some middle-eastern influences, that make the sound really
personal.
The band is formed by bassist Ziad Bardawil, by
argentinian guitarist Juan Carrizo, and by singer Maya Khairallah, that
has a really powerful and melodic voice, in my opinion the main-strenght
of the band.
Every song in this demo is really good and it's really
difficult say which is betterl, and everyone will certainly remain for a
while in your mind.
But I think the little blemish, because songs are a little bit to similar.
Obviously if you're looking for some innovative stuff you will not find
interesting this ep, but if you wanna spend some funny time listening
good traditional metal songs, song like Night Of Evil, RIsing, the
title-track and Metal Strike,a really catchy song that remaind of
Manowar, will satisfy you.

Sometimes
a band in the first album don't find his own identity, this is,in part,
the case of the band i'll talk you about today.
Otoño are a Californian band, formed by the guitarists Bangulo and Eldred and the bassist/vocalis
t Angel, that released in 2008 their first, and for the moment unique, album, Ghosts Of Smoke.
The album is really diverse, too much diverse, there are some Melodic
(Gothic) Death Metal songs,inspired by Paradise Lost and the British
Death/Doom, a Brutal Death Metal song, some Modern Thrash Metal songs,
and a lot of instrumental songs, and it can fluster the listener.
It's really a pity 'cause there are some very good songs and a lot of ideas.
The best moments in the album are the songs where the band shows his
Melodeath part like Ghosts of Smoke an aggressive song with a really
cold riff, Cannibal Jesus, TIll Dark, the true highlight of the album, a
melodic song with synths and Under a Gray Autumn Sky,a song with a big
instrumental part.
But also the instrumental The Omen, the
aggressive Bone Crusher, a brutal death metal song and the powerful
Can't Hide are really good songs.
The album is ended by two instrumental songs, in my opinion fillers.
In conclusion the album is good,but too diverse and with too much
fillers, and it's clearthat this band has a really big potential.
Maybe the growl is a little bit too dry

Genre: Viking Metal
Country Of Origin: Switzerland
Year: 2010
Label: Self-Released
Viking
metal is nowadays one of the most popoular metal genre, a lot of new
band start to play this kind of music, and despite it talks about
Scandinavian history it's not impossible that band from Spain, South
America or in this case Switzerland start to play this kind of metal.
Infact
today i'll talk you about 'Burning drakkar'', an ep made by four songs,
released by Hypocras, a young band from Geneve formed in 2006.
Their sound consists of a rough folk metal with flutes(used in a perfect way) and death metal influences.
All the songs in this ep are really powerful, with great riffs, chorus and with really good lyrics.
The first ep song is the titletrack a aggressive but melodic song with
a strong riff a really good chorus, lyrics are a celebration of a
viking warrior's death.
Hunting Troll, the second song, is faster
rhan the title-track but it's likewise really convincing. The lyrics of
this song is, in my opinion, the best in the ep, and talks
about the fight and glorious death of some viking warriors against a group of troll.
The last two songs are On path of my ancestors, another solid folk
metal track, and Dance Of the Forest, a fantastic instrumental song (i
really like its end with a flute part that reminds Inis Mona).
Support this band.

Yeah men, from the moment i became admin of this page i thought to
review young metal band's album. Finally this moment is came.
I had some ideas about my first review, but i wasn't sure about which band was better to start.
Well... after s a lot of time i decided to review Evendim's demo Whiskey on Fire.
Evendim are a young band folk metal band from Giambassi Terme near to Florence.
The demo is made by three song The Boozer's rule, a really enthralling
song about alchool, that remind me of alestorm(especially their second
album).
The second song is Faraway so close, a tear-jerking irish
ballad about lost love and broken hearts, with progressive veins. In my
opinion this song is really a masterpiece.
The last song is the title track, the really anthem of the band.
The song starts with an accordion part, that will remain and will
never came out from your mind. In this song the major influence is the
one of korpiklaani.
In conclusion i think that guys will become one
of the best folk metal band in italy and that this demo is a really good
point of starting for their career.
Listen to it (it is all available on youtube) and support this fantastic band.
