Cyhyraeth - Servants To The Fire
Cyhyraeth is a metal band from Dallas Texas. Members are, Jessica McCain - Lead Vocals, Alex Jack- Guitar/Vocals, Zachary Marsden - Guitar, Zach Palmer - Bass, Dan Mitch- Drums. The band started in 2011.
Servants To The Fire album self released on December 24th 2014. The album consist of eleven songs. My first impression is the music is metal oriented and contains elements of modern metal riffs from bands like Arch Enemy, Heaven Shall Burn and Lamb of God. Jessica's vocals are spot on both on the low end death metal style as well as the clean singing, a very talented and impressive performance on this album. The track A Farewell To Harm is a perfect example of the pitch ranges exhibited by the vocalist. The music is well structured. Power and aggression is in full effect through the album. Beyond the melodic aspect of the music there are some heavy hitters on this record as well, Mutation, Awakening and Indoctrinate are intense, like a tank plowing through fields, the fierce energy comes full force at you.
My final thoughts, this debut album hits hard and contains many of the elements the make a solid and crushing record. Great solos by the guitarist. Vocals melodic and heavy. Drums construct the perfect ground for all of it to come together. I recommended for fans of both old and new generation of metal. ~Artemortifca

Apocryfal - Aberration Of Mind
APOCRYFAL is a death metal band from Finland. Members are; Pasi Vastamäki - Vocals, Mikko Homanen - Guitar, Juha Lausamo - Guitar, Joni Välipakka - Bass, Juho Suomi - Drums. Band started in 2009.
Aberration Of Mind EP self released on October 2nd 2013. This is a five song disc containing fast and punishing music. On a short trip to the city, I was able to listen to it twice and got a good idea of what the songs are all about. A recollection of bands I was into back in the early nineties, bands like Benediction, old Napalm Death and Suffocation come flowing to my mind as I listen. Indeed it is hard to denied the early death metal roots when confronted with tracks like Mother Of All, catchy tempo changes, grinding drum attacks and brutal vocals of course. The title track Aberration of Mind comes in with relentless velocity and I will have to say it is one of my favorites from this release.
The production is very good, the drums are upfront and destructive, double bass kicks and tom hits are explosive. Guitars have a crunchy distortion attack. Bass compliments all the rhythms perfectly. My final thoughts are, the music creates fast momentum and feirce emotion. I recommended for fans of Incantation, old Morbid Angel, Immolation and Monstrosity. ~Artemortifica

Nangilima – The Dark Matter
Nangilima is a doom/death metal band from Malmö, Sweden. Members are; Emilio (Ov Mhurn): All Vocals. Nikolay - Guitars/Bass/Keys. Khalvst Ov Mhurn (Marahkain, Ov Mhurn): Keyboards and Drums.
The Dark Matter album released on November 2014 through Xtreem Music. It consist of six songs. Rooted in doom which is evident from the opening song, dark and mostly mid-tempo on the drums. Deep and haunting keyboard compositions are a big part of the content. The Link of Reminiscence is a great song, the opening grabs my attention, reminds me of some of my favorite bands like Neurosis, Novembers Doom and some Paradise Lost as well. The track Éternel Sommeil (Outro) is a mind bender and worth spinning several times. The keyboard piece is captivating and melody easily stays with me.
In terms of production, the drums are strong and dominating, the double kicks are thunderous. The guitars are heavy distorted and carry the rhythm well. Final thoughts, the somber, memorable and depressive melodies make this album worth investigating and the majority of doom/death listeners will find something that resonates with them within each track. ~Artemortifica

Dreamgrave - Presentiment
Dreamgrave is six piece ensemble from Hungary, Szeged. Members are Dömötör Gyimesi (vocals, guitars), János Mayer (keyboards), Mária Molnár (vocals), Ádám Kovács (guitars), Domonkos Altorjay (drums), Márton Attila Kovács (bass). Genre is described as progressive dark metal.
Presentiment released independently on October 15th 2014. This release contains eight tracks. My first thoughts are, this is melodic, complex and very progressive song structures. One of the things that perked my ears was the vocals of Maria Molnar, she has an excellent voice and it blends well with the death metal style growls. By no means is this a new thing, I have heard bands with a similar style before, like Therion, Epica, Within Temptation and several others but I do enjoy how good that sounds on this album. One of the songs that stuck out in my mind the most would have to be the song Presentiment 2, it is an amazing and epic melodic piece which is mostly stringed instruments and vocals but the melody stays with me long after the song is finished. False Sense of Confidence contains a variety of styles from death metal to blues to progressive all stitched together flawlessly.
In terms of production, with all the instruments involved the sound always remained intense and clear. Drums very powerful and dynamic. Keyboards, violin, guitar and bass all at good levels through out the entire album. I recommended for fans of death metal, metal, progressive and melodic genres. There's something to enjoy in each track. ~Artemortifica

Soulskinner - Crypts of Ancient Wisdom
Soulskinner is a four piece death metal band from Athens, Attica. Members are: Gothmog- Vocals, Bill-Guitars/bass, Spiros-Guitars, Kostas-Drums.
Crypts of Ancient Wisdom released on October 15 2014 through Xtreem Music. This album consist of twelve tracks. It begins with a clean strumming acoustic. Melodic and unassuming. When the second song hits, you know right away this some heavy and brutal music. Vocals are very low which I enjoy a lot. Devastating guttural like old Monstrosity or Death. Energetic and intense album from beginning to end. The Furies Hymn has some catchy and memorable solos at the end making it worthy of spinning several times. This is followed by Deadland part1. Crushing verses and demonic vocals, this is one of my favorites. Deadland part2 is equally strong and offers more complexity and progression. Why Shrink From Death starts with an interesting intro, haunting and mind altering another one on my favorites list. The keyboard melody reminds me of classic horror films from Dario Argento. I like how the entire track builds into a savage and pummeling song.
In conclusion, the album is deeply rooted in the classic death metal from the 90s era. The intros and outros are in line with the likes of good 70s horror films. I recommended for fans of Sinister, old Hypocrisy, Immolation, Grave and old Morbid Angel. ~Artemortifica
