AXAMENTA- Codex Barathri
The keyboards in this has the whole Cradle of Filth feel to them. They are pretty technical sounding. This is some of the fantasy horror black metal. This is better than most of the black metal I have heard in a while. They aren't as fast as COF, but they do have their own sound and they do it well.

DAGORLAD- The End of the Dark Ages
The intro is so soothing…The keyboards sound like something you would hear in the Dracula, or scary movies from the olden days. They have a dark medieval metal sound to them. It's melodic, dark, evil and of course black/death metal. The songs have long intro's, not all of them, but most of them. It's not my thing at all.

DEVISER- Running Sore
This is one of the oldest and best known Greek black metal bands. I don't like it. When he is doing the death metal, it sounds so low, you can barely hear him. With the exception of the high pitch black metal vocals, they just sound like they were mixed too low. I don't like the sound of the synthesizers either.

IMPEDIGON- As Desires Fade…
This has the whole In Flames feel to it. The whole Swedish melodic metal. Too bad I don't like that. The vocals sound like they could be a little black metal-ish. They are too high for me. They are pretty fast. They have a good sound to them. Not my thing.

OCEANS OF SADNESS- Laughing Tears, Crying Smile
This is metal, with a touch of black metal vocals. The sound of the CD seems to be mixed really low. My stereo is turned up and I'm having a hard time hearing. This guy tries singing in the first song, and I think it sounds like my cat dying. Does not sound good at all. This music has a atmospheric, powerful, death, gothic, black metal feel to it.

PANCHRYSIA- In Obsure Depths
More black metal from L.S.P. They are pretty fast. The ride cymbal sounds pretty nice. I don't like the vocals though. They have a modern day black metal sound with a touch of Immortal and Zyklon to them. Just not my thing.

FAERGHAILl- Where Angels Dwell No More
Black metal. The vocals are tolerable though. They aren't ear piercing vocals which is good. From what the sheet said on them, I think their singer is a chick and she does the keyboards too. The music is real melodic. This is $14.00 US if you are interested.

OCEANS OF SADNESS- For We Are
Black metal mostly, but there are parts of doom, gothic and death metal. I don't like the sound of the keyboards. The production isn't the best either. Not a fan. This is also $14.00 US if interested.

STRATUZ- Spirit Seduction
These guys are from Venezuela. I hear a harp in here and that sounds pretty cool. Plus they are using some other sounds here and there, which are neat, like background sounds. When the music starts, it is death metal. The vocals are real low sounding though, they could have been a little higher. The blast beats are pretty tight. $14.00 US money.
