RockmusicRaider Review - Mythrias - Absolving The Treacherous - Album Cover

The US-based Thrash / Death Metal band Mythrias just released their newest EP Absolving The Treacherous in September of 2015. Their powerful Thrash Metal meets crusty Death Metal is really a captivating piece of work. Sounding like a younger and evil sibling of Arch Enemy married to Blynd, yet with double the energy, they produce pretty hardcore material since their inception in 2013.

Mythrias came to some very limited fame opening up for well-known bands in the genre like Insomnium, Omnium Gatherum, Septicflesh, or Moonspell – among others.

Not bad for a startup.

Now with some action under their belts and a few new … [...] Click to raid more!

Da Pacem Domine?1

For sure not in Batushka‘s first studio record Litourgyia. This album is going to get feistier as it progresses. And it has this friggin’ tendency to keep you on your toes, and not grant you one tranquil moment to calm down and contemplate your situation.

Do we have your undivided attention now?

And I quote: “Band members are unknown, but they are from well-known bands.” We are told that the band is – supposedly – from Poland. And this fits, and it does not bode well. There’s trouble looming over the horizon. Which … [...] Click to raid more!

RockmusicRaider Review - Draconian - Sovran - Album Cover

Scandinavia seems to be an endless source of all things metal. This time we get it from Sweden, where I thought only the happy blonde bombshells dwell – but not so. The 6th studio album Sovran from Draconian is – at its base – real Doom Metal. 

A powerful brand of Doom wanting to ice the bones in your body, and pound you crying into the dust with a deluge of sadness and tribulations. Interesting, how underrated this band is compared to the better-known players in the genre. Especially in comparison with the Peaceville Three – myth or not. Draconian are really up there with the best.… [...] Click to raid more!

RockmusicRaider Newsflash - Enfeeble - Moments of Tranquility - Album Cover

Who said there is only beer and pretzels in good, old Germany? Complete with lederhos’n and holzhack’n? Well, wake up and smell the … metal.

German melodic thrash and metalcore metal warriors ENFEEBLE released their newest album Momentum of Tranquility in October 2015.

And there is nothing tranquil about the album, I can assure you.

First emerging as The Thrashcans, then transforming into ENFEEBLE back in the mid-’00s, this newest concoction is their 2nd full-length album so far (or the third, depending on the source and how you look at it).

Their metal brand includes traditional screams and clear … [...] Click to raid more!
