YES, I'm back!!! :)
I've been away for waay too long, had many problems, but now I'm finally back, and I hope I'll have more time to post here then I had before. Anyway enough with me :P

Macabre is a death metal band from the USA. They were formed in 1985 in Chicago, Illinois, and have never had a line-up change (Corporate Death - guitars, vocals ; Nefarious - bass guitar, vocals ; Dennis The Menace - drums). They blend thrash metal, death metal, and grindcore (sometimes with nursery rhymes and folk melodies) to form their own unique style dubbed murder metal (this album is completely melodic death). Lyrically, they have a strong focus on serial killers, mass murderers and a touch of sick gore humor. Most lyrics are based upon true stories and are about real infamous personalities. They also have a side project called the Macabre Minstrels that play acoustic camp fire songs. Their current label is Decomposed Records.

Helheim - Heiðindómr Ok Mótgangr

NORTHERN WARRIORS#Style: Viking/Black Metal
NORTHERN WARRIORS#Origin: Norway (Bergen)
NORTHERN WARRIORS#Lyrics: Norse Mythology
NORTHERN WARRIORS#Year: 2011

The story of Helheim started in 1992, when V’gandr and H’grimnir had the mutual idea of creating extreme metal music. But metal cannot be made without someone to fill the drumchair, and soon after Hrymr came along to complete the band. Already from the very beginning Helheim had high ambitions, and even without much experience they weren’t afraid to enter the stage. They played several festivals in Bergen just to get live experience from the start. In the mid of 1993 Nidhogg joined Helheim, and now they felt a demo should see the light of day. The summer went by, and in the fall the same year they released their debut demo simply entitled “Helheim”. The demo never made its way outside the borderlines of Norway as the band realized that the released material simply wasn’t good enough.

Before The Rain was first shaped in 1997 in Setúbal, Portugal, when vocalist Carlos D’Agua and guitar player Valter Cunha began to share musical ideas that ended as acoustic songs. As time passed by, the acoustic sounds weren’t enough to express the emotions and feelings unleashed by Valter and Carlos, and in 1998 they decided to seek the remaining members for the band. But it wasn’t until 2001 that a stable line-up was found: Carlos: voice; Valter: guitar; Tiago Ferreira: guitar; Andre Vasconcelos: bass; Goncalo Brito: drums.
