Hysterica - Girls made of Heavy Metal


Probably the best female band since the Runaways!
Victor's review of their debut album is on the way (I hope so...)

SUSPERIA - Attitude

This album is the fifth of the Norwegian band, and their first in Candlelight Records. What has started as a Black Metal band, has transformed into a more sophisticated, yet aggressive, outfit, that combines Thrash, Death and melodies, in a very efficient way. With songs that contain all their previous influences, from Black Metal screams, to 80's Thrashing parts, this album will please everyone, without sacrificing quality. Good ideas, and excellent arrangements, with equally good musicianship, are the key parts of this album. Melodies are also plenty, and are used wisely, without weakening the whole result. The songs are well written, catchy and groovy, with tunes that stick into your mind, and make you move your head along with the rhythm. A very nice and clear production comes to complete the album in the best possible way. A very good album indeed, from a talented band. Check them out.

WAR FROM A HARLOTS MOUTH - In Soals

No newsletter, or flier can prepare the listener of what should be expected from the second album of the Germans, and those that can scratch the surface are the ones already familiar with their sound. Mixing a lot of extreme influences, from Grindcore to Death, with the complexity of Jazz, the band manages to create something that is really hard to define and tag. Fast and aggressive, with tons of grooves, brutal vocals, excellent guitar riffs, melodies, and a lot of energy. The first thing noticed here, is the complexity of the music, and the ease that the band binds all their influences together, into a very interesting piece of music. No ballads here, no fillers, no less good songs. Right from the first note, someone grabs you from the neck and tosses you to the wall across the room. Difficult music, hard to get into, but with a more cautious listening, things start to emerge, and the whole plot starts to reveal. Melodies also exist here, either well hidden, or more obvious, and are a vital part of this bizarre yet catchy album. If you like challenges, and are not afraid to experiment, check them out.
