Greek book "The Metal Chapters: Volume One" features ten stories written through songs by some of the biggest Greek metal bands on the planet. Readers have the opportunity not only to read the story inspired by the authors of each song but to read the lyrics of the tracks and listen to the CD that accompanies the book.

Rotting Christ - The Heretics

Monday, time to introduce "Record Of The Week"

The Greeks extreme metal legends ROTTING CHRIST have been around since 1987. A band that I haven followed awhile, really liked the last release "Rituals". It's been over a decade since the band shifted their focus away from raw and bestial sounds to a more spirituality folkish melodic death metal with big anthems.

Their 13th effort "The Heretics" is natural successor to 2016’s "Rituals". Once again a good album, it's not as direct and cleaver as "Rituals" was, but good enough to take a place as the "Record Of The Week".

"The Heretics" is a grandiose 10 tunes album or 12 if you get the Deluxe version (the review is based on the 10 tune album). The album have big atmosphere with nifty arrangements and bombastic crescendos, follows the same path they’ve carved on the last album, almost get the feeling that these tunes was written at the same time but didn't fit on the "Rituals" template and got put to the side and ended up on "The Heretics" instead, gets a little double-edged. Anyway, there are some decent tunes here. Like the powerful opening tune "In The Name Of God", big guitar and graceful choirs, follows up by beautiful melody in "Vetry Zlye (ВЕТРЫ ЗЛЫЕ)", big riffs and female chants. Massive sound with long and drawling riffs in the sorrowful "Heaven & Hell & Fire" and gets maxed with powerful chugga chugga riffs in the half paced "Hallowed Be Thy Name". The hypnotic "Dies Irae" or the folkish sound, addressed with spoken words in "I Believe (ΠΙΣΤΕΥΩ)". "Fire God And Fear" is a heavy and speedy piece with a great solo. The album closes up with beautiful melodic solos in "The Raven", a great album ending with a poetry by Edgar Allan Poe. "The Heretics" continuing battle with the church and summon up Satanic sermon and gives us a pretty decent release. The artwork made by Maximos Manolis and the album mixing by Jens Bogren.

Sum: A decent follow up!

Today's tune "The Raven", taken from "The Heretics", enjoy!

Nightstalker ‎– Dead Rock Commandos

Monday, New week, time to introduce "Record Of The Week"

"Dead Rock Commandos" is an album by the Greece rockers NIGHTSTALKER, a band that comes from the land of Apollo and Hades. They have been around for almost two decades already. NIGHTSTALKER consist of Argy (Vocals), Andreas Lagios (Bass), Tolis Motsios (Guitar) and Dinos Roulos (Drums). The album was released 2012 by Small Stone Records.

Big attitude, hell of a groove and solid songwriting, stunning riffs with great melodies are the main things of "Dead Rock Commandos". It's pure rock, heavy riffing, light stoner approach but with lot of LSD. The tunes on the album keeps a very good quality from start to finish.

Opening track is the groovy "Go Get Some", a high class tune, heavy distorted riffs by Tolis Motsios screaming guitar and a very electrified and powerful vocal from Argy Galiatsatos. "Soma" have a RIVAL SONS vibe in the intro. The title track and today's tune "Dead Rock Commandos" is a great rocker where Andreas Lagios the Ex ROTTING CHRIST bass player swings his axe and plays really tight. "One Million Broken Promises" & "Back to Dirt" are two other tunes where he is more in focus together with the drummer Dinos Roulos where the later have a MONSTER MAGNET vibe with it's hazy riffs. Groovy rocker "Rockaine" to the more softer touch in "Keystone" to the LSD tripping "Children Of The Sun" and the angry and mean "The BoogieMan Plan" and the perfect final track "The Underdog", makes a great mix between the tunes.

Sum: Another album worth of raw rock ‘n roll simplicity.

Today's tune is the title track from the album "Dead Rock Commandos", enjoy!

Rotting Christ - For A Voice Like Thunder

Today it's time to present category two: 

(Damn, this is good. (Something you previously have rejected) 

from the annual hard rock evening.

This category was actually a really good one and was pretty easy for me to come up with. Easy as not so long ago I had to listen to "Rituals" with ROTTING CHRIST, a band that in my world was pretty mediocre, boring or something that I never bothered to listen or even give it a chance, but with "Rituals" my opinion change, it's a awesome album.

Other tunes that was played during this category was.

JUDAS PRIEST - Cathedral Spires
PARADISE LOST - One Second
DEATH - Scavenger of Human Sorrow
IN FLAMES - Through My Eyes
KHEMMIS - Hunted
MÖTLEY CRUE - Kickstart My Heart
CROWBAR - Walk With Knowledge Wisely

(Missing songs from two participants).

Today's tune "For A Voice Like Thunder" feat Nick Holmes (PARADISE LOST) with the Greek ROTTING CHRIST from the latest and twelfth full-length album "Rituals", released on February 12th, 2016, enjoy!.

Moonsorrow - Suden Tunti

Jumalten aika ("Age of Gods") is the upcoming seventh full-length album by Finnish pagan metal band MOONSORROW. It is planned for release on April 1, 2016. The first tune out of it is "Suden Tunti" that you can watch below.

The new album will also include two covers, "Soulless" (GRAVE cover) and "Non Serviam" (ROTTING CHRIST cover)

MOONSORROW is a pagan metal band formed in Helsinki, Finland, in 1995. Musically, the band incorporates elements of black metal and folk metal in their sound. The band call their sound "epic heathen metal" and try to distance themselves from the term "Viking metal". They have distanced themselves from other folk metal bands, emphasizing that their music is pagan and spiritual and is challenging for its listeners, rather than happy or danceable. The band members have varying levels of pagan belief but they draw on pagan spirituality for lyrics and inspiration.

Today's tune "Suden Tunti" (Wolf's Hour) is taken from the album "Jumalten Aika". Century Media Records 2016.

God Seed - Alt Liv

The will to grow. The god within man. The god within nature, and the will to reach one's highest potential.

These are values all embedded in the name of God Seed. God Seed is a Norwegian black metal band based in Bergen, Norway. Former Gorgoroth members Gaahl and King ov Hell adopted the name in March 2009 following the ending of the Gorgoroth name dispute. After perforimg a few gigs as God Seed, vocalist Gaahl left the band in July 2009 and it was put on hold. King finished the music for God Seed's first album, with vocalist Shagrath, and released it under the name Ov Hell. Gaahl re-joined God Seed in 2012. In January 2012 did they released the live album Live at Wacken (live album recorded in 2008), and in October they released their first studio album, I Begin.

What "King" says about the band: "God Seed" represents a more spiritual side to us. "God Seed" represents the will to grow; the will to be the super man, so to speak. I think it's a suitable name for what we will represent in the future. It will challenge the weak minded, but it's all about the same themes we are known from in the past. The God within man, and the God within nature."

The Band Featuring:

King - bass
Lust Kilman - Guitars
Geir Bratland - Keys
Kenneth Kapstad - Drums
Sir - Guitars
Gaahl - vocals

This is the 1st studio record King and Gaahl release together since Gorgoroth`s "Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam"! Read more about God Seed and "I Begin".

Todays tune is God Seed's first music video "Alt Liv" from the new album "I Begin". Produced by Mats Willassen. It was released on October 23, 2012 in North America and on October 30, 2012 in Europe.
