Balfor--Black Serpent Rising cd {Drakkar Prod.}
Ukraine's Barbaric black metal band Balfor return with their newest cd Black Serpent Rising featuring eight tracks of destructive black metal.The band does have some elements of death metal and even a few somber and slower sections before going all crazed and fast paced.The guitarist knows how to play well executed guitar chords that are played in the fast,destructive pace but their are some well written and performed mid paced sections.The drums are done in the fast barbaric blasting drums but the drummer does slow to a more somber and slower pace in a few of the songs before going back to the hyper fast drum style.The vocalist are done with both raw,raspy black metal shrieks and some death metal growls used in a few songs.If you are familiar with Balfor's past releases then you know what to expect but if you are a new fan then imagine well written and played barbaric black metal that has both plenty of vicious and some slower,melodic black metal sections.

Hammerfall--Built To Last cd {Napalm Rec.}
Sweden's traditional heavy metal masters return with their tenth full length release to date and their first for Napalm Rec.Hammerfall still carry the torch for traditional heavy metal with some rock and hard rock elements used in the bands sound I only listened to the bands first three releases then lost touch with what the band was doing.Then I got the promo for their newest release Built To Last which is a really good traditional heavy metal release.Their are both good metal anthems and a few slower heavy metal ballads that really work for the band. If you are a fan of Hammerfall's past releases you will like the new release Built To Last so be sure to buy this today.
