innish blackened death metal band released the new edition which is unusual interesting.On this album you can tell that the vocal can not be heard very well, and that can not be ascertained or does it exist.This is an unusual combination of black metal with death metal and the impact of atmospheric music creates an interesting compound that could be called atmospheric blackened death metal.On this release it is can be immediately noticed that when you are listening you can feel felt darkness, entering the world of destruction, darkness, nothingness, emptiness and the death iself.Tehnical way of playing is great, acoustics is too strong and because of it vocals are not heard, the production is solid.This band is a band that has an interesting and unusual strange way approach to music, wanting to show something different compared to other death and black metal bands .Band with the attitude and perspective, they have something to show, as well as ideas and creativity, a quality band that still needs to work on thier music and that has a lot of potential.

innish black metal band released and published a new edition which is average but it is not so good .On this album it can be readily observed that the production is catastrofical, for which the band sounds like disaster, technical way of playing is incorporated in some moments at album but in most cases it is not, acoustics is a solid,of course this band is absolute black metal in every sense of the album, which takes you into the world of darkness, evil, hopelessness, death. This is a good quality band and a good band that has something to show I partly because production did not show potential, anonymous This is anonymous band that is absolutely a quality band and deserve the attention of the listeners, Baptism is not so anonymous band becauseof the number of albums they have and how long the are on the scene, this band is an absolute indicator that production can in completely ruin the band in every sense as this band is definitely all that black metal presents and all that black metal is only next time,they will have more luck with production company.

etal,it may be observed the technical compatibility that is brought to the ideal, and the great acoustics and the production is phenomenal. This is a band that has built their carriers on their specific and particular way of expressing music and vocals that are very specific, and on this album you can hear all of that, and of course they remained true to themselves and what they are, a metal band that ideally fits music genres as well as how and in what way they present the art work musically with total brutality and rawness in metal genre, so it is on this album. Cradle of Filth is a band in every sense is synonymous gothic metal and gothic music and they are real virtuosos of metal sound and a true indication of how merger and the impact of atmospheric, ambient, symphonic and black metal can be an ideal fit in every sense with gothic metal music, they remaind consistent to themeselfes and always will be true gothic metal band.

sraeli atmospheric post black metal band released a new edition that is very complex and unusual for a black metal genre. On this album it can be noticed immediately happy acoustic impact because the band wanted to convey a realistic life through music because in real life there are good and bad things. The pass in acoustics in the transition from real black metal is an ideal integrated, this band is a real happy black metal band, although it is not actually, it is quite dark because everything that is beautiful remains but there will always be bad things, creativity is complete, technical way of playing is brought almost to the ideal. acoustics are great, production is great too. This album takes you into a world of serenity, happiness and everything nice and then it leads to complete despair, darkness, evil and nothingness. When you think you’re the most beautiful part in your life something happens and it gets worst. Well the band conjured through transition of acoustic music to black metal but in the end at some point they go back this acoustic cheerful music, which indicates that there is hope and a solution for everything, completely in an artistic way presents real life situations and that they were able to make the black metal look happy at least a little bit happy.They show after on the album what black metal should be in which there is the impact of alternative music. Ingrain is the anonymous band, They deserve the attention of the listeners very much, good quality band that will achieve much and real happy black metal band.

T
he legendary German power metal band released a new album that is Absolutely phenomenal and their best album in my opinion. On this album it can be readily observed that the band split the album with their own songs and the cover songs and that the covers and better than the original cover songs , songs that are covers have a completely different impact on the listener a completely different dimension to an embodiment of songs , and that they use their own way of playing and music added to the covers and that the church music is personal touch of the band prevailed in the cover songs and in them you can feel a real and true power of heavy metal, as well as the essence of what actually true metal is . With the real songs are in question they have remained true to themselfs and their way of expressing music, which is very specific, this is a band that has cristian church music combined with metal music and occult texts and that is completely anti-Christian band and they desecrating Christianity but in everything meaining band is against Christianityand they show what cristianity is and what they show about cristianity is realistic and accurate. Technical way of playing is brought to the ideal and to complete perfection, the acoustics are great as well as production, which is phenomenal. The whole album has a story, each song has a story and the cover song are chosen for this album because they have story to, and they are chosen to fit with the whole album, and their real songs. All the songs are about the same as for the technical ways of playing and performed music that is their personal touch. Powerwolf are virtuosos metal sound and classical metal sound and one of the best power metal bands ever, and completely dominate with their work and creation and real legends of pure power metal band.

Album review: 3:33 3 Visions of Horror P
igs in wolves clothing is a mixture. Part narrative of personal experience with cops. Traffic stops, searches, blatant lies. The other inspiration would be paranoia cause by the probability of a cop to abuse its power when you deal with one. Locked in is a song for the unappreciated unhappy worker at a dead end job or just a job that is not fitting. And lastly army of squatch is based on a nightmare i was once had and it just developed into a cool idea.Hundreds of sasquatch hunting humans! We don’t give a shit about mainstream success or anything like that we just want to make pure heavy fast tunes for people like you and me. People in a world where you can love heavy nasty music so much and no one will get it.We do. We get it. We want to make music for the people. All three of us come from different musical backgrounds from old school punk, to black metal and grindcore. It blends and culminates into an original and interesting wall of that sweet “ fuck the world” sound. We intend on delivering tracks that are based on thought provoking social issues and horror! We thank you!

A
merican horror crossover band released a new album, which is very tense and more than good.On this album it can been immediately seen the tehnical compatibility and it can be heard that the band has great music cooperation, and that album describes displeasure and insurgency in real life against the authorities that limits you in everything and trying to fully take away your freedom And trying to have control over you, and it describes in the song Pig in Wolves Clothing, also the album describes the parallel world between reality and dreams that drains it into the subconscious which shows how reality and fiction affects the consciousness and that describes how attack of hundreds of sguach and it is the ideal described in the song Army of Sguach. This album also speaks of dissatisfaction and helplessness of a man or a worker in this world that is not beautiful, on the imprisonment of the man who could not get out of a situation in life either it is a worker or a job or a normal man. Band wanted this song to portray the state of a man who feels helpless and could not do enything in life because he is trapped inside working for a system that has imposed it described idealy in the song Locked In.They is a band that absolutely wants to show their music in the right way and know what they wont of themeself and of thier music and know in what way how they can presented and it all works because of their love and passion for Music is not for commercial sucess.Anonymos band worthy of attention of the listeners that absolutely represents everything a band needs to be, and the band has a good future.

Concert report: BLACK LABEL SOCIETY • The Kryptonite Sparks Dom Omladine,Belgrade 22.07.2015.
F
inally the day has arrived that Black Label Society held a concert for the second time in Belgrade in Dom Omladine. Once you approached to Dom Omladine, as always, for each metal concert, it can be immediately seen the people who were outside, but inside the hall Americana are already some faithful fans take a place right near stage and the position of course to see their favorite musicians. And the heat could not take the smile off the their faces and euphoria for the performance of their favorite band. As time went it was time for opening act that is psychedelic rock called Kryptonite sparks, from the beginning to the end of this band is totally without any euphoria and emotions came out on stage just to do the job and standard gig that the singer and guitar player asked the audience do they want more he ironically replied that they certainly, although the whole band completely mastered the technique of playing, but the audience was not interested in totally for this band just waiting to go, and for an hour after the end of the gig at the very end they tried a little be to entertained the public so they played Slayers song.
S
o the band went off the stage cold and without emotions.And finally the arrival of the legendary Black Label Society has caused general confusion the screams and ovations, yelling and everything that goes along with it. The audience is totally gone off and crazy and was in trance even before that, when the opening act performed the audience went complete crazy when they saw members of the Black label society when they were going to the backstage, there was the curtain before they started and the start was very exciting and intence when the sirens and are fully complement with event. The band plays violent and raw like genres, the audience is going crazy jumping to the end, heahbangging, general rage and a good time with good music great concert and music, the band played all their greatest hits and most listened songs.
Z
ack Waylde is one the most infuence guitarist and one of the best guitarists in the world and all the time and he perfomed virtuoso solos that simply blow your mind and everyone in a hall of course and that at one point at a concert there were slower songs where Zack showed that he was a virtuoso on the piano too, continuing after faster tempo are startled the audience and they went completely mad again,it is just sad that there were not more people on such a concert all in all a phenomenal concert that met all expectations and the band showed what they can do and what they are made of and why are they one the most influence bands in metal and rock music at the end of the concert audience wanted a biss whether it was not received, all in all a lot of good concert and good quality concert did not disappoint the fans, they left right sweating, too tired drunk and intoxicated with smiles on their faces.Black Label Society held a concert that wasnt supposed to be missed. because they fully met all expectations and simply prepared a real classic heavy metal concert what is rarely seen and heard.

Concert report: CANNIBAL CORPSE• Scaffold Dom Omladine,Belgrade 29.07.2015.
F
inally the day has came that for the second time in Belgrade for the concert of Death metal legends Cannibal Corpse. As approached to the Dom Omladine may be noticed hat the people in front of it are there for each concert, waiting to listen to their favorite death metal musicians and cannibals at work .Coming to the hall Americana, loyal fans took their seats waiting with excitement and disbelief their favorite death metal band and Cannibals. As time went on there was the opening act to perform to show and prove themeselfes called Scaffold. The hall was empty as usual because no one wants to support the opening act of the big bands which indicates a lack of culture and lack of interest of people to hear something and give the band a chance to show their guality or not and whether they are a good band and if they are not. Support band Scaffold greeted with cheers and screams of people who were very little, literally a handful of people were so loud that you had the impression that the hall was crowded and competly full and you have the impression that it was at least 100,000 people at the concert, the band begins fierce and brutal, technically accurate precision and harmonizing quality death metal band, the audience went really crazy, jumping, screaming and everything that goes with it. The singer of the band thanked the audience in his hometown of Belgrade and that they are deserving that they exists 25 years and announced their tour in Serbia. The band leaves the stage leavinbg the fans satisfied.
F
inally after a long waiting because for uncultured and unsubstantiated people who smoked inside the hall and thier was a singht writen that no smoke beacuse the band will canceled the concert,band wouldnt have if the smoking continued but tension grew but but security managed to calm laden persona and people to stop And after a long waiting Death metal legend came on the scene in total darkness and begin a spectacle and above and the madness and festivities. They started very brutal, raw, fierce all together in combination with extremely good sound system for the wonderful miracle.
T
he concert take places cannibals played songs of the last album as well as thier most famous and best songs, Suddenly someone in the audience singer gave and throw thew the pacifier at the stage and the George CorpseGrinder reacted cold and cool completely saying really returning and throwing the pacifier to the audience and at the person who gave him a pacifier . The audience went crazyand there wasscreaming and yealing everywhere from the top of their voices and standing ovations for every song, and how each song was announced George CorpseGrinder asked the crowd to go absolutely crazy and to headbainhg hard and it was like that, as It was the case for the opening act, and the end the band played last song , even though the audience and fans wanted more, as always, but before that, George Corpse Grinder said that verything has to go end in life and they can not play all night with his calm and cool attitude, and so the band played their last song and the audience was completely tired, dizzy with smiles on their faces and with a lot of impressions about their favorite death metal legeds and cannibals.
C
annibal Corpse proved why they are the best death metal band ever and what are not overcome, and why will they always have the status of most best death metal band ever, this concert was phenomenal in every sense it is not supposed to miss it even though more people had to be on the concert and that is pity but it is the eternal problem of todays society, all in all a deadly cannibals once gain showed why the are the masters of brutality and above. And held the concert for the story and memory.

biography
A
nthrax is an American thrash metal band from New York City, formed in 1981 by lead guitarist Scott Ian and bassist Dan Lilker. The group was considered one of the leaders of the thrash metal scene during the 1980s. Of the “big four” thrash metal bands (the others being Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer), Anthrax were the only band from the East Coast. As of 2014, the band has released ten studio albums, a number of singles and an EP with American hip hop group Public Enemy. According to Nielsen SoundScan, Anthrax sold 2.5 million records in the United States from 1991 to 2004, with worldwide sales of over 15 million.
N
oted for its live performances, Anthrax signed with the independent label Megaforce Records (which released the band’s debut studio album in 1984). Lilker soon left the band to form Nuclear Assault, and was replaced by roadie Frank Bello. Vocalist Neil Turbin was replaced after two years by Matt Fallon who was then subsequently replaced in 1985 by Joey Belladonna. With a new lineup, the band recorded Spreading the Disease (distributed by Island Records) in 1985. Anthrax’s third album, Among the Living, was released in 1987 to critical praise. The band experienced another lineup change in 1992, when John Bush replaced Belladonna as lead vocalist. Sound of White Noise was released the following year, peaking at number seven on the Billboard 200. Studio recordings during the 1990s saw the band, influenced by other genres, experimenting with its

A
nthrax’s lineup has changed several times. Paul Kahn and Greg Walls were early replacements for drummer Dave Weiss and bassist Kenny Kushner; the band has had a number of vocalists, including Neil Turbin, Matt Fallon, Joey Belladonna, Dan Nelson and John Bush. Scott Ian and Charlie Benante, who joined Anthrax in 1983, are the only band members to appear on every album; bassist Frank Bello has played on every album except the band’s first. Belladonna returned to Anthrax for Worship Music, his first studio album with the band since 1990’s Persistence of Time.
