Rivers Of Nihil

Amazing Tech-Death. I really dug the timbre of the guitars and bass. Listened their latest record - Monarchy - like 4 times in the last couple of days.

Bode Preto

8 minutes of darkness, evil and sing-along Black Metal

Slaughter - Fear No Evil

I've always found interesting how bands' career change when the sales go down. Some will follow the new trend, some will quit. Slaughter's Fear No Evil, released in 1995, decided to pretty much stick with their previous formula. Their best record by far, in my opinion. The catchy and strong Live Like There's No Tomorrow, the old-school-rock-n-roll Let The Good Times Roll and the quite sad ballad Breakdown N'Cry are amazing.

Baton Rouge

This record in special, "Lights Out On The Playground", is excellent and it's been one of my favorite records ever for a very long time. The song, "Dreamin' In Black And White", is a perfect example of what Arena Rock is about: catchy and "sing along at top of your lungs" kind of chorus.

Hobbs' Angel Of Death

One of those Thrash Metal cults. Peter Hobbs is one of those guys who will never give up. And even though originality is not the highlight of his music, his passion will make up for it.

Absu

Intense. Highly headbangable. Excellent production.

Orchid

They sound more Black Sabbath than Black Sabbath itself in several periods of their career. Noticed I've been listening to several copycat bands lately, but if they're copy cating good bands and doing it well, why not? Let 'em roll. And all bands from the U.S.A.. That should mean something.

Argus

Doomy Heavy Metal from the USA. Glad to find like decent and real doom from the USA these days that are not close tied to sludge/stoner and that kind of crap. A recommendation for Dawnbringer listeners. Am I too biased or this too has its share of Mercyful Fate?

Dawnbringer

Rather Mercyful Fate-ish, thus, great! Google Music recommended me this band because I enjoyed In Solitute, which is even more Mercyful Fate-ish, thus, even greater.
