Deadmau5



For lack of a better name
Ultra records

Just when you think this album is going to repeat itself over and over again, it surprises you by changing it up at the last second. Each track is upbeat and the music is always changing to something better. If you're into techno then you will love this album.

DJ Sasha



The emFire collection: mixed, Unmixed & Remixed
Ultra Records

Each track is between five and a half minutes to over twelve minutes long. None of the tracks sound the same but they don't progress very far and end up repeating the same notes over and over again. Even though there are some decent sounds on this album it is far too repetitive for me to recommend.

Soul Stalker



A way out
Manic depression records

Decent vocals and lyrics. Each track is clearly a different track. Even though each track is repetitive; they have a good sound that starts off simple and slowly builds up nicely but doesn't really change. This is a decent album that should be given a chance.

Chase frank



Midnight Manor e.p.

Great lyrics and vocals. Drums are spot on the tempo but that's it. The guitar is slow and repetitive yet has a good punk rock feel to it. The bass makes up for what the guitar lacks. All three tracks are nicely done, this band hasn't been signed yet but I have high hopes, they have a unique cabaret punk sound.

The Spiritual Bat



Through the shadows
Alchemist music

The singer has a beautiful voice. Awesome bass and the drums are surprisingly good for this style of music. The flute is either amazing or sounds like the flutist is trying too hard but, the synthesizers blend wonderfully with it the guitar could be better but is in no way bad. The vocals alone are enough reason to own this album and support this band.

The Cemetary Girlz



Smoke my brain
Manic depression records

The bass is quite good. The guitar is slow but, they fit in nicely. The drums keep time but, there's nothing special about them. The vocals are so weak that the singer sounds like he is mumbling into the microphone. I'm sure the lyrics are good and dark; if I could only hear or understand them. Death rock fans will enjoy.

Bajskorv



Scars and stripes
Buried electric

I love industrial music but the singer of this band sounds too much like ogre from skinny puppy and the music sounds like the tracks that pig face threw away.

Android Lust



Dragonfly
Synthellec music

I have never heard this band before and this cd only has four tracks. The first two tracks are different remixes of the same song ( I love both). I really like this band and would really like to here more from them; if you are a fan of android lust you will enjoy this cd.

Cazals



What of our fortune
Kitsune/ The hours/ fontana records

The guitar is peppy yet repetitive. The bass is great. Drums fit this style of music. The keyboards and synthesizers range from amazing to terribly annoying within the same track. The vocals are powerfully weak and sound like the singer is trying to be a punker without the attitude. Some people will like this album; but I am not one of those people.

The Awakening



Tales of absolution and obsoletion
Intervention music

Lyrics are dark and the vocals are ok. The guitar riffs are basic but do their job. Drums keep time like a metronome. The piano and keyboard are the highlight of this album. The goth scene will enjoy this album.

The Bodies Obtained


The Bodies Obtained : Dead Plans

Dead Plains
Finding you attractive music

Decent death rock. Good vocals and dark lyrics. Great keyboards. The guitar riffs are too simple and the drums barely do the job. The bass is awesome. This might not be the best album of all time but what it does have is alright. If you like death rock than you might like this album.

All of your favorite ministry songs done live. Album comes complete with two live DVDs from their final world tour.

Veil & Subdue



The courtship of the black sultan
Masque production

Female vocals are beautiful, the male vocals are cold. The lyrics are dark and descriptive. The music itself comes and goes, at times it is amazing then boring. This is more of a soundtrack to an opera or play than an album. The artists an musicians who wrote and produced this album are geniuses, if this isn't already a play or movie, it really needs to be.

Woven



Designer Codes
The Cat toy factory

The singer has an amazing voice. The percussion is great. The guitar is not as good as the bass. The keyboards are awesome. This album is good for when it is time to mellow out.

Deadmau5



Random album title
Ultra records

Your standard techno album, every track sounds like a variation of the previous
track with a few twists and turns to make it seem less repetitive.
