Dark Harvest Records:
From the minute I put the first band off their roster CD into the
CD player I knew that I was probably going to have to review all
the CD’s they sent me. So lets begin:
Sloburn- Sloburn (DarkHarvest Records)
This Virginia five piece is straight up American metal. Dubbing them-
selves as “redneck” metal. It’s very bluesy and very powerful with songs
like “Dark Fortress” I wouldn't be surprised if this new genre of redneck
metal takes off. With songs like “Country Boy” convincing us of staying
true to this genre and bluesy songs like “Never Live Again”. Personal
pick off this album is “Lucky 13”
Sloburn: 3 out of 5 stars

Herod-The Curse Of The King (Dark Harvest Records/Lifeforce Records)
An 80’s power thrash band from NY. From the very first note you are
sucked into their music. The first track “Sexuality” is an amazing track
with great solos (which you don't hear bands these days do too often).
And “The Dark Deceiver” has some Megadeth overtones. Exceptional
thrash metal and probably one of the best albums ive heard in quite
awhile.
Personal pick: “The Dark Deceiver”
Herod: 4.5 out of 5 stars

ARES-Kill/Gore/Sledge (Dark Harvest)
A young, fast and brutal band from Florida. Where else but Florida
does most of the best death metal bands come from? Very technical
drumming even progressive at times especially on “Acid Web”. Av-
erage age of this band is 18. Very good arrangements
Personal Pick: “Of Sludge and Grime”
ARES: 3.5 out of 5 stars

Bloodtribe-1369: the death and dying chapters (Dark Harvest)
This album just makes you want to throw stuff around and tear
stuff up. From first track “Only Blood” to the last “The Death and
Dying Chapter” this album is just straight forward and in your
face. Aggressive vocals and Ear Piercing screams opening for such
bands as Macabre, Obituary, Daath, Neuraxis I think these guys
will be around for a long time.
Personal Pick: “Only Blood”
Blootribe: 3.5 out of 5 stars

Fates Burden: My Addiction (Dark Harvest)
If you are looking for an album that just plain rocks then you
need to pick up Fates Burdens new album “My Addiction”. A lot
of the vocals kind of remind me of Phil Anselmo of the great
band Pantera especially the title track “My Addiction”. This al-
bum I kept listening to over and over because its just such a
great album.
Personal Pick: “Worth”
Fates Burden: 4.5 out of 5 stars

Final Curse-Constructing the Destructive (Dark Harvest Records)
Classic thrash metal at its finest. From the old school sound of Met-
allica comes Final Curse. Ask them and they will tell you its “We
bring you 100% No Bullshit Thrash Metal” Their song “Slie” has
classic slayerish riffs. I can certainly visualize them being also a band
you would want to see live as well.
Personal Pick: “Slie”
Final Curse: 3 out 5 stars

Other Band Reviews:
Dynamo is a fresh sound out of
Brazil. Thrash metal taken to a
new level. A lot of great break
downs. This is the band every-
body is going to be talking
about for times to come. Great
melodic vocals and simple but
yet crushing guitar riffs.
Rating 4 out 5 stars
Label: Unsigned

Marc Rodriguez has just put out
his debut album “Vagabond”. It
is in the vein of Judas Priest,
Mercyful Fate, and Hammer-
fall. This album has all the in-
credients for a great power
metal album. Twin leads, great
riffs, and double bass drum-
ming. Marc is now auditioning
for his next project.
Rating 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Emergency November is just
one of those bands that makes
you feel like you are on a jour-
ney. In the vein of Sepultura,
Cavalara Conspiracy, Pantera.

One of Richmond Va. Great
bands at the moment. Catchy
hooks and solid arrangements
and impressive solos.

cial rock band from Tulepo MS.
They are known for the live
shows been a “Hard Rock Party
Music” experience. If you want

listen to and just jam off of then
a broken method is the band for
you. In the context of Lynard
Skynard, Molly Hatchet.

Dystrophy is full speed ahead
death metal. Certainly to make
their own mark in the death
metal genre. With harsh vocals
and brutal guitar riffs makes
your head spinning nonstop. Its
very hard to pinpoint where
their influences are because it is
so chaotic. Just give it a listen
and I assure you your brain will
melt.

Session Nineteen is very ener-
getic band that is poised to
write the best possible music
while capturing all the emo-
tions. I wouldn't be surprised if
these guys are signed within
the next year. With their over
dark and melodic sound fans
are sure to love this.

Video Game Review
Welcome to our first video game review I hope there is more in the future.
Shadow Realm:
Is an old school online person vs. person game for the PC. Excellent graphics
I play it a lot myself. It is a bit complex to setup. You may have to email
David for questions but once you get it setup it is worth the wait. Come and
see why it was ranked the #1 game at Ultima Online in 2008. You can
download the client free at the address below.
