Behemoth – Evangelion

Okay it’s time for another review! This one’s for another band that I’ve heard about over the years, yet never really listened to. :sad: Until now that is! :)

Behemoth are back with their 9th full length release. This one was released by Metal Blade, has 9 tracks and is entitled Evangelion. It’s quite a masterpiece (Or well it’s good anyway) of technical death metal with some black metal undertones. ;) You know what? I should have been listening to them, long before now! :D

Nothing to inventive or anything. It’s been done before but they’re definitely doing it the right way. It reminds me a bit of a cross between Zyklon and Hate Eternal.

Okay, so it is time for me to add some more content to this old metal site of mine.

I’ve let it fall into dis-repair but have finally decided to get off my ass and do something with it. What? Not totally sure yet, but I have ideas all of which include continuing to review CD’s, new and old. Here’s a new one!

Divine Eve – Upon These Ashes, Scorn The World

It is once again time for me to give my opinion of a metal CD. This time I am going to review a new CD from an old band. So first a brief history lesson…

Divine Eve hailed from Plano (Dallas) Texas. They we’re formed back in the early 90’s by 2 members of Catharsis. They signed with Nuclear Blast records back in 1993 and released 1 EP, As The Angels Weep. They did a song for a Celtic Frost tribute CD released by Dwell records. There was supposed to be a CD (Essence of Dawn) released through Candlelight/Gothic Records, but it never happened, so the band released it themselves on cassette. A track from the EOD promo appeared on the Nuclear Blast Comp (Death… Is just the Beginning III). They did some brief touring in 1994 and then disbanded in 1995.

Ensiferum – Victory Songs

Ensiferum - Victory Songs

The viking metal masters Ensiferum return with their newest effort. This one is called Victory Songs and I suppose that’s accurate as this release is another victory.

Ensiferum just keeps on going. Each release as good or better than the last. I doubt they will ever top Iron as that is a total masterpiece IMO. Though each CD seems to have that certain melodic warrior style that I like so much about this band.

Cephalic Carnage – Xenosapien

Cephalic Carnage - Xenosapien

The self styled Rocky Mountain Hydro Grinders Cephalic Carnage return with a brand new CD entitled Xenosapien.

I first found this band when they released their second CD, Exploiting Dysfunction. In fact this was the first CD I purchased that was released after the 1900’s. Seems weird to say that now, but at the time it was kinda a big deal to me.

Despised Icon – Ills Of Modern Man

Despised Icon - The Ills Of Modern Man

Canadian grinders Despised Icon are back with a brand new release entitled The Ills Of Modern Man released by Century Media.

I first found this band on Headbanger’s Ball (which I have seen 2 times in the last 20 years) on MTV of all places. I think it was the only band/video they played that night that was even remotely close the style(s) of metal that I find myself listening to with any regularity.
