When you are a neoclassical Metal band and name your new album “Black As Death” you really have to mean business in order to convince the listener ‘bout the band’s intentions. IRON MASK got their name from the “Man In The Iron Mask” prisoner (whose real identity was a matter of subjects in lots of books - more info here) and is the brainchild of Belgium’s guitarist Dushan Petrossi. Having so far released three albums in the 00s, this new CD sees none other than Mark Boals delivering lead vocals and it’s for sure fans of the American singer will dig this new album no questions asked. But, what about the rest?
I can hardly remember the impression I got from the band’s latest album “Shadow Of The Red Baron” (2009) but I can imagine there’s no major difference in the new album. You get well-played and well-produced neoclassical Metal that draws inspiration fromDEEP PURPLE and Yngwie Malmsteen while it features enough Euro Power elements that still do not tend to be dominant. There’s speed, there’s enough riff work blended with keyboard layers and the drums are once double-bass hammering while creating a darker atmosphere in slower parts. As for the solos: you just can imagine from what’s previously stated.
To the band’s benefit, the album title applies to the musical atmosphere since there’s a dark vibe spread in 62 minutes of music (a little too much - you may get bored) and the songs themselves do not show any tendency for happiness or at least high-energy music-making. I like Petrossi’s procedure in the main harmonies he builds in the songs: he can carry you to other places and times and, true to be said, the vocal experience of Mark Boals helps a lot to this direction since the multi-credited singer not only offers his untamed vocal range in ease but he also works a lot on vibrato singing in the crawling tempo song-parts, contributing to the total essence flourishing.
Not to neglect what’s already been said, bear in mind “Black As Death” includes songs that are long enough in duration and not forgetting how single-dimensional neoclassical Metal can beat times there’s a strong possibility you won’t fully enjoy what you’ll pay for. So, try before you buy but rest assured the instrumentation, sound and vocals are in a grand level.

Mago de Oz biography
MAGO DE OZ was founded in Madrid during 1989 by the drummer Txus, who recruited all other members until reach the first line-up, who lasted until 1995: Txus (drums), Mohamed (violin), Carlitos (guitar), Chema (guitar), Salva (bass) and Juanma (vocals). Then, Chema, Salva and Juanma left the band, being replace by Frank, Sergio and José, and these were the only changes since then. Combining in an unique way heavy metal, celt, folk and medieval music, the band became one of the most important Spanish bands. Their sound could be defined as mix between KANSAS, SKYCLAD, IRON MAIDEN and BLACKMORE'S NIGHT.
After first self-titled album, released in 1994, they released five more albums (including live "Folktergeist"). The double-CD "Finisterra", with all keyboards and flutes arrangements, is considered a masterpiece. They also recorded versions (not simply covers) to songs from artists as RAINBOW, LED ZEPPELIN, KANSAS (a breathtaking Spanish version to "Dust in the Wind"), IRON MAIDEN and BARON ROJO.
If you're looking for a pure prog band, you will be a little disappointed with MAGO DE OZ, but if you are looking for something else in metal, this band is what you need!

Lorenguard – Eve Of Corruption: The Days Of Astasia, Part 1 (2011)
Dec 15, 2011 20:15
Heavy Metal |Power Metal
A photo can have a thousand meanings, a poem evokes re-examination for new interpretations and films are visual motion-driven manifestations of story art. Therein, music can be strictly devised for the same purpose of guiding a listener into a specific realm of fantasy, leaving open ends for the expansion of individual value and sentiment. The newest edition to story-generated music is Metal band Lorenguard, who released their debut album 'Eve of Corruption: The Days of Astasia, Part 1' on November 29, 2011.
Compiling the chapters for the past seven years, the Indianapolis, IN. based septet formed an alliance based on the literary concoctions of drummer, Brady Sadler. Titled 'Eve of Corruption', the novel is based on the series 'The Days Of Astasia' that defines the tales of Lorenguard, a legion of knights.

Ammotrack – Come Die With Us (2011)
Dec 15, 2011 10:51
Hard Rock
If you want a dose of 80´s rock and classic heavy metal, you better check out Ammotrack´s new album "Come die with us" which is a really strong piece of work. The only song that is a bit different is the late 90´s modern rocker "Let your dream decide", but besides that one you´ll get powerful hard rock like the opener "Life is calling" or the heavy "Psycho bitch". The single "Living like an angel" is more melodic while "Fastlane" could´ve been an unreleased song by Kiss, if you´re into albums like Ratt´s Invasion of your privacy, Skid Row´s Slave to the grind or Kiss´s Creatures of the night - Ammotrack will be perfect in your CD collection.

MEREMOTH nace en 2002,y era como todas las bandas principiantes seguidoras de muchos grupos que hacen sus covers.
El nombre de MEREMOTH sale de un texto bíblico que a día de hoy ni ellos mismos saben lo que realmente significa.
Numerosos cambios de formación hacían preveer de MEREMOTH que no tendráin mucha consistencia,ni siquiera había un consenso para saber cual era el estilo a tocar,ya que primero eran un grupo cristiano.
Las bases de MEREMOTH las estsblecieron:
Mauro Prieto,Ruben y Fernando Palacios.
Al ser solo 3 tuvieron que buscar un par de músicos mas, es aquí donde entró en escena Mauro Gómez que tocaba la viola,asi que inmediatamente se sumó sin problemas a la banda, quedaba conseguir un cantante, que estaba más cerca de lo que ellos mismos creían y apareció Romina que cantó unos covers de Rata Blanca,y en ese mismo momento se estableció Meremoth y asi quedó la nueva formación:
Romina Vargas (voz)
Ruben Palacios (guitarra)
Mauro Gomez (guitarra)
Mauro Prieto (bajo)
Fernando Palacios (batería).
En 2004, la banda poner punto y aparte por la inestabilidad en algunos de los integrantes,además no se podía lograr un ensayo en el que participara todo el grupo entonces ahi se corto todo.Y ya en el 2009 se rearmó la banda y con un par de músicos nuevos, hoy Meremoth esta formado por:
Están influenciados por muchos grupos,aunque si les gustan las comparaciones escuchen a los polacos CRYSTAL VIPER.

Electric Mary, from Melbourne, Australia are no strangers to the music business, touring in 2009 with the likes of legendary Alice Cooper and Glenn Hughes, then in 2010 being the support act for Deep Purple. Talk about starting big. Yet they have only released a mere two albums (Four Hands High in 2004 and Down to the Bone in 2008) and released 1 single and 3 EP’s. Now on their third album release ‘Electric Mary III’ and it’s my first listen to these guys aren’t they lucky)...
An impressive riff for the first track ‘O.I.C’ and the vocals are quite delicious with the high pitched yet growly rock sound. The guitar solo suits the track perfectly with the ongoing up-tempo beat, which makes this track a winner. The extra solo after the middle section adds a delicious fruity sauce to the mixture. ‘Stained’ keeps on track at impressing me with the dirty deep riff to make you shout “Ooooooh!” and the drum section at around 2.20 is pure 80s class as well as the crazy guitar work pissing all over it!
“So Cruel” starts off with a led Zeppelin style riff with clear vocals over it then blasts with more heavy guitars reminding me of a 90’s Aerosmith feel. ‘Long Time Coming’ sounds a lot like the first two tracks which isn’t a bad thing necessarily for the fact that they are both cracking tracks but ‘All Eyes on Me’ stood out with its fast pace, crazy guitar work and the drumming on it is superb! The vocals equally as good with the group vocals in the chorus line. The intro to ‘Lies’ uses the same sound as the beginning of Motorhead’s ‘Ace of Spades’ but quickly changes into a not so bad little number. A repetitive riff and different vocals (a different bloke?) either way, still listenable. Another I wanted to mention is track 8, ‘Bone on Bone’ which sounds again like Led Zep with a helping of Whitesnake squashed into one sexy concoction. By the time ‘Waiting’ comes on my heads already rocking, with the cheesy yet likable chorus and the pubescent vocals it’s another winner.
Ending with ‘American Jam’ and even though having a more updated riff, got me a little bored half way through this one. Not the perfect ending to an almost perfect album...
