Moving this time to the field of death/grind, to review the new album by Exhumed. A band known for its goregrind beginnings, that moved to a more death/grind style of today with "Gore Metal" (1998) and "Slaughtercult" (2000), making them an important name in the scene.

Deranged
Morgue Orgy (EP)

Panagiotis Karagiannidis
And again a Swedish band is at my hands to review its new offering. And the band this time is one of my favorites, Deranged. Unfortunately this review is not for a full length, but the brutality of this EP and its almost twenty minutes have reward me more than I expected.

Report: Rockwave Festival, Day 3 – Athens, Greece

Manos Spanos
Early Monday noon at Terravibe Park for Rockwave festival. The third day of Rockwave festival started at Vibe Stage with a newcomer band called Black Hat Bones. Even though there were only a group of 20 people beneath them, that didn't affect the band's mood at all and the audience responded really well. Musicwise, Black Hat Bones play dirty Hard Rock inspired by Motorhead and some stoner elements here and there making them the ideal opener for such a hot summers' day. They didn't forget to thank the audience for attending early on. Next came one of the most promising Greek modern metal bands with one album in their back catalogue called Psycho Choke. Being really energetic and with a sound reminiscent of Slipknot and Machine Head they made the crowd headbang even harder and caused some small pits of 3-5 people. With a really good mood on their side, Psycho Choke did their best and put on a great show under the burning sun leaving promises for a new album till the end of 2013. We'll surely looking forward to it.
