 Fabio Lione is perfectly at ease with his vocal cords and is the true star of the compositions.

 This album will appeal even to those who have always seen Vision Divine as a band devoted only to power metal and incapable of evolving.

Fabio Lione's vocal performance is highlighted as outstanding, eclipsing previous singers.

 Fantastic album, beautiful, overwhelming both in music and in distressing and bleak lyrics, with a band that never holds back a punch.

 Nibelheim has taken yet another step forward, not disappointing me, proving to be a great band capable of composing great music while still confined to the underground of the genre.

Nibelheim’s second demo, The Waiting Room, showcases excellent craftsmanship in thrash-death metal, blending intricate riffs with bleak, emotional themes. The four tracks tell stories of internal struggle and difficult decisions, supported by powerful performances and improved production. The album represents a significant evolution from their previous work, highlighting the band's passion and technical skill, making it a standout in the underground metal scene. Listen to Nibelheim's The Waiting Room and dive deep into a thrilling thrash-death experience!

 Now here I am about to listen to this “No Sacrifice, No Victory” and... the emptiness. Total dismay. Nothingness. A black hole.

 You can smell the stench of “craft” and recycling from a mile away.

The review expresses disappointment with HammerFall's No Sacrifice, No Victory, citing a lack of originality and recycled musical elements from previous albums. While some guitar work and a few tracks stand out, the album overall fails to innovate within the power metal genre. The obligatory ballad and a cover song feel out of place, contributing to the negative impression. Fans of the band may still find some value, but newcomers should approach with caution. Read the full review to see why HammerFall’s latest album disappoints and explore their classic hits!

 The band manages to add some personal touches to their compositions that make the listening experience even smoother and less heavy.

 A better closure could not be found, offering such an incredibly engaging impact.

The Nosebleed Connection delivers a fierce and passionate metalcore album full of rage and expertly crafted riffs. Despite lineup struggles, the band shows determination and heart.

A highly recommended listen for metalcore fans. Dive into The Nosebleed Connection's fiery metalcore album and experience the raw passion and fierce riffs now!

 The more I listened, the more I liked it.

 Sirio’s growls at times seem like a raging demon thirsty for blood.

Eden Beast's demo 'Torturing The Odd Human Mind' offers a brutal yet innovative take on death metal. The reviewer initially struggled with the intense sound but grew to appreciate its originality and musicianship. Highlights include Sirio's versatile vocals, Fabio's engaging guitar work, and Fasa's exceptional drumming. Despite minor production flaws expected from a demo, the album impresses with its melodic interludes and overall brutality. Recommended for fans of extreme metal seeking something both raw and inventive. Listen to Eden Beast’s brutal and innovative demo and discover extreme metal at its rawest and most original!

 The tracks, while not innovative, are really built on excellent riffs and time changes, and all the trinkets that will thrill prog lovers in general.

 I am sure that the Phaenomena will manage to overcome this 'partial' lack of personality with each album, eventually shedding all those halos and/or specters to which their music could easily be traced.

Phaenomena's debut full-length album, 'The Praise Of Madness,' is a 72-minute concept work merging melodic hard rock with 70s progressive rock influences. While the band demonstrates formidable technical skill and impressive keyboard arrangements, the album lacks a distinctive personal identity, with clear nods to Dream Theater. Production is polished but could improve. The reviewer anticipates growth and greater originality in future releases and encourages giving the band a chance. Explore Phaenomena's ambitious debut and discover their promising prog rock journey today!

 "The underlying feeling remains one of 'emptiness,' despite all the songs bordering on compositional and executional perfection."

 "The album is well played, excellently produced, and wonderfully sung (the performance by singer Sabine is marvelous)."

Edenbridge's My Earth Dream embodies classic symphonic and epic metal with excellent production and strong vocals. While the album includes attempts at heavier sounds, it largely sticks to genre conventions and lacks originality. Some tracks like the instrumental suite stand out, yet overall the album feels familiar and safe. Fans of the genre will appreciate it, but it doesn't break new creative ground. Discover Edenbridge's My Earth Dream and experience symphonic metal with powerful vocals and orchestral grandeur.

 "The central break is so beautiful and evocative it gives you chills."

 "It’s a shame for the production that does not do justice to the songs... Production that 'suffocates' Stefania’s voice."

Nibelheim's demo 'Drawing The Lines' is a powerful concept album led by Stefania Salladini's intense vocals. The music blends thrash and death metal, featuring evocative riffs and a compelling narrative. While production quality slightly hinders the vocal clarity, the band's talent and songwriting shine through. This Italian female-fronted group delivers a memorable and promising debut. Listen to Nibelheim's fierce demo 'Drawing The Lines' and experience powerful female-fronted thrash death metal today!

 Power, aggression, ferocity, tenacity, technique, brutality. The requirements are all there, the ingredients are dosed just right.

 Songs that will make you scream: “Fuck! This is thrash metal!”.

Sentenza delivers a fierce and technically impressive thrash-death metal album marked by power, aggression, and superb musicianship.
