Snuttock

Carved & Sutured

It's hard to write a review for an album that is mostly remixes and it's even tougher when the band isn't even signed to a label. Those minor complaints aside this album rocks of pure industrial music. You probably won't find this bands music in stores, but that's what the Internet is for; go to Snuttock.com and order a copy for yourself.

The Residents

The Voice Of Midnight

Cryptic corporation (mute records limited)

This album tells the story of "Der Sandman" by E.T.A Hoffman in twelve tracks. The majority of the lyrics are spoken. All of the music is unbelievably beautiful. This whole album feels like a Tim Burton movie. If you like the residents or concept albums; you can't go wrong with this one.

.We.got.this.far

Blunt Force Volume

Spiral Chords records

Great percussion. Guitar riffs are basic but fitting for this style of music. Lyrics are good and dark. Vocals range from inaudible and distorted to clear as day. The keyboard steals the show. This band has a lot of talent; industrial fans will have a new favorite band to add to their list.

This is a best of album and every song on this cd deserves to be on it. If you have never heard of Dessau before than this is a good time to get into them.

Saints of Ruin

Fairytale

Dark Ruin Publishing

The singer has a good voice. Guitar is basic, but has some decent solos. Bass

has rhythm and hits hard. Drums are lackluster but keep time and tempo. The

keyboards are the highlight of this album. This band should be gaining in

popularity within the goth scene.

Alpha and Omega

Life Swallower

Six One Three one Records

Awesome guitar riffs and solos on every track. Lyrics are dark and angry. Vocals

are good but they could be heavier. The drums are brutally rhythmic and fast.

This band rocks, go get their album.

Hell On Earth

Demon Alien Angels

Neptune records

The singer sounds like Marilyn Manson. The keyboards are awesome. Bass riffs are

good but not great. Guitar riffs sound like filler. Drums are great for this

style of music. This is a weird album that experiments with a lot of different

styles of music, there is something here for everyone.

Nights Like These

Sunlight at second hand

Victory records

Great vocals, decent guitar and bass, mediocre drums. This isn't the worst metal band in the world but their not the best either. Some metal fans will like others won't.

Towards Global Holocaust

Ever Onwards...

Scattered to the winds productions

Pure black metal full of high pitched screams, low growls. The guitar riffs are

different and continue to change as each track progresses. The drums are great

at times then slow at others. Black metal fans will like this band.

Arise and Ruin

The Final Dawn

Victory Records

Awesome lyrics and vocals. Fast guitar riffs barely repeat themselves. Drums are

fast yet basic and never skip a beat. This album is a must have for hardcore

music fans.

Litany for the Whale

Dolores

Teenage Disco Bloodbath Records

Lyrics are dark. The vocals sound great. The guitar riffs are slow then fast and

heavily punk influenced sprinkled with a little classical inspiration; bass is

the same as the guitar. The drums are alright but not the best. This band does a

decent job with heavy punk.

Leo

Nightmares

Dream Makers Music

Every song is about a girl or a broken heart. Most guitar riffs sound the same

except for a few short moments. Drums are decent but not special. Vocals are

weak and sound identical on all tracks.

The Acacia Strain

Continent

Prosthetic Records

Death metal at its finest. Angry lyrics full of rage and a hate filled screamer

to back them up. Murderous guitar riffs keep time and are always changing every

few bars. The drums are impressive and never break time or tempo. This album is

a must buy for any death metal fan.

In Tenebris

In Tenebris

Cortege publishing

Beautiful vocals, dark lyrics. Haunting keyboard programming is used very

Effectively. Guitar riffs are basic but heavy and sound more like filler. Bass

is low and hits hard. Drums keep tempo and have a good rhythm but leave much to

be desired. This band will definitely be a hit in the Goth crowd.
