free EP of necrodepressive black metal: Shattering Ice
Shatttering Ice (Denmark)
Shattering Ice is lo-fi necrodepressive black metal exclusively for listeners into this very specialized form of black metal. This is a one-person project and the objective is “grimness,” general ugliness of the soul, and the sounds of angerfrustrationloneliness hatred.

free EP of traditional heavy metal: AVALON STEEL
Avalon Steel (U.S.)
Avalon Steel is traditional heavy metal from North Carolina, U.S. In short, if you want to hear heavy metal with zero or very little of core/growl/trends, then look into this band because their songs are an allegiance to heavy metal, and nothing else.

free "post-black metal": SKYFOREST
Skyforest (Russia)
This album sounds a like quality and professional recording. Skyforest is atmospheric/symphonic metal with shrieked vocals, the majority of the time. Some people call it “post-black metal.” At any rate, there are some melodic singing segments, and the music would probably go over well with the listeners into “post-metal” like Agalloch and Falloch maybe.

free: unique metal from Finland: GENTRY LORD
Gentry Lord (Finland)
Gentry Lord is something like a crazier King Diamond/horror metal one-person project. Part circus animal party, part horror metal, part weirdo space alien heavy/speed/shred metal, Gentry Lord is for those that purposely look for strange metal sounds. It sounds like metal music for Halloween, but for Gentry Lord every day is Halloween. The vocals are crazy nuts, the playing is insane and this is all by one person. Do you know how to spell “dedication to space horror metal”? Spell it G-E-N-T-R-Y L-O-R-D.

free black metal from Wisconsin, U.S.: STRIFE
Strife (U.S)
Strife is atmospheric, cave black metal from Wisconsin, U.S. The demonic gremlin vocals and lo-fi aesthetics characterize Strife as a gruesome landscape of nihilism. This one is for those into necrodepressive and atmospheric grim black metal.

the heavy metal of WRETCH (U.S.)
Wretch: Warriors (Pure Steel Records)
Wretch embodies traditional heavy metal and represents what heavy metal lifers are about. Supporters of this style know that a band like Wretch will never be the darling of the metal media. Wretch does not wear attention-seeking gimmicky clothing; they don't wear masks or makeup to impress the impressionable people and the sensationalist, gossip-driven mud-slinging metal publications.
Why do people listen to Wretch?
The fundamental reason is because you like traditional heavy metal played by grownups. Maybe you’ve had enough of the nonsense and tomfoolery of the gossip in metal, of the fashion games, of the constant dirty-laundry self-prostitution and trend-jumping that metal bands do.
Wretch plays music out of love for metal. Wretch is headbanging metal with hooks. Every song sounds like the band has worked on it to make it meet the album’s standards of quality. Maybe you like bands like Savatage and Armored Saint? Perhaps you’re into Jag Panzer and the latter-day Metal Church sounds? It could be that you follow traditional metal from Europe and other places where these sounds are more appreciated. Whatever it is, Wretch is a traditional heavy metal band from the state of Ohio, U.S. and this band plays its heart out on the album. Expect non-poppy/non-happy uptempo/midtempo grit/street heavy metal.

thrash/death from Guatemala: Hexe Eye
Hexe Eye (Guatemala)
This publication does not have much information about Hexe Eye, but what is for sure is that the music should be interesting for those that support up-and-coming metal bands, and in this case it is a death/thrash band from Guatemala. The band has what appear to be demo recordings that you can hear on Facebook and YouTube. Anyway, it’s difficult to keep a metal band together, regardless of where you live. It’s not easy to keep together an extreme metal, and it’s probably harder to do it in Guatemala than some other places. Maybe this is only the beginning of Hexe Eye.

the prog of BARBORA
Barbora (UK)
Barbora is a prog metal project with an influence from old Opeth. Barbora (the person) plays the guitars, and she also writes the lyrics and music. Barbora seems to be a project at the moment, with help from various friends, but it might not be long before this is a band. If you like to hear young artists who show promise, and you are interested in prog influenced by old Opeth, look into the 2014 EP “Tartarus” at Bandcamp.

horrid black metal in the state of Washington: Sadistic HelSkag
Sadistic HelSkag
On ReverbNation there are several songs of this horrid black metal recorded in a cave somewhere in Friday Harbor in the state of Washington.

the traditional heavy metal of Space Vacation (U.S.)
Space Vacation (U.S.): Cosmic Vanguard (Pure Steel Records)
Traditional heavy metal band Space Vacation must have had it up to here with all the talk about “less is more.” Two-note guitar playing is not a virtue. More talent is better; better riffs is better; greater creativity is better; more talent is more; more is more. Space Vacation tells us something by naming the first song “More is more” in which they criticize the the notion that “less is more.”
Space Vacation is about singing, riffs, solos, hooks, melodies and catchy songs. Space Vacation wants to know whatever happened to rocking out like Judas Priest, Thin Lizzy, Iron Maiden and Scorpions? Remember when heavy metal was young and fun? Now bands seem more interested showing how “angry” they are. Does nobody want to rock out anymore? Space Vacation wants to know.
If you like the idea of a band dedicating time to learning how to play guitar, to devoting time to solos and riffs, to a singer that wants to sing well and sound good, to having metal songs that you can remember after the music stops playing, then consider Space Vacation, for whom talent, skill, dedication, creativity and memorable songs are important things.

metal from Washington state: Blood and Thunder
Blood and Thunder
Blood and Thunder is a band from Everett/Seattle and they are “symphonic melodic death metal.” Their most recent album is “A Reality in Ruins” from 2013. They also have an EP from 2009, an album called “Dawning of the Ancients” from 2011 and another EP from 2012. Blood and Thunder forges shredding-and keyboards metal with neoclassical metal, with growled vocals (black-ish shrieking) and speedy songs. The band’s music shows that they believe that metal guitar players should have ability and imagination so that each song has an identity. The band names Wintersun and Kalmah, amongst others, as influences, which means an emphasis on quality.

in case you missed it: the thrash of Untimely Demise (Canada): Systematic Eradication
Untimely Demise (Canada): Systematic Eradication
Untimely Death is not friendly towards the government or politicians or nuclear radiation. The vocals are a bit shrieked, but the riffing and shredding will be instantly recognizable to the thrash supporter that says “yes” to thrash and “yes” to headbanging metal. To the mosh pit, total love-it-all thrash fanatics!

FREE black metal recording: Observer (Brazil): from Metal Bulletin Zine 49
Observer(Brazil)
Observer is a black metal from Brazil whose concept revolves around the panopticon, where control and power are everywhere in society. The band plays fast black metal and uses some melodic vocals, too. This three-song EP is very impressive, and if you are looking for Michel Foucault-inspired intellect in black metal, you might enjoy this band’s take on the concept of power. Obtain their 2013 EP for free/name your price below.

Marrow of Earth (U.S.): EP 2014
Formed in 2013 and this is their first recording.
Marrow of Earth is the new name of Divulgence (2008-2013) from South Carolina, U.S. For this reason, the recording sounds like a band that has experience, as opposed to a young band recording the first demo. Marrow of Earth is a type of mix of death/black/thrash that is most concerned not with genre, but with headbanging tunes. The EP is free/name your price below. www.marrowofearth.bandcamp.com

Introtyl (Mexico)
The origins of this death metal band go back to 2008. In 2013 they released an EP titled “Several States of Violence” and with it announced themselves to the death metal world. Cannibal Corpse-style of no-musical-

Darkness Avowed
