DARKEST HOUR - The Mark of the Judas

Ooooohhhhh, I like this! This is metal music and the vocals are a mix between some clean vocals and death vocals. The drums are real good, he is pretty fast. The bio says this is a mix between Swedish death metal and American Hard Core. I think that is a good comparison!

DISASSOCIATE-Imperfect World
This is death metal and it is pretty good. The music is more like a real fast thrash I think. The guy doing vocals changes his voice, so it isn't the same sound through the whole CD, which is good. I like it.

INDECISION-Release the Cure
I can go on about these guys for the rest of the page. I heard these guys in Milwaukee and have been SEARCHING for anything on them since then. Then I hear they were opening for SOIA one weekend, but I was out of town, so I missed them. So I nearly pissed my pants when I came home and saw this in my mailbox. This is hard core. They have an awesome sound. The vocals are great, the music has such a heavy feel to it. If you are a hard core fan, GET THIS! I have not stopped listening to this for over a week now.

RED GIANT-Ulta-Magnetic Glowing Sound
This is super weird. There are a lot of sounds to it. I'm getting a bit of Black Sabbath, some of the vocals remind me of Today's the Day. It isn't metal, I don't think. It is real weird. It isn't heavy at all.
