"The Fix Is In" is the first taste from Project Renegade's upcoming album titled "Ultra Terra". The song aims to shed light to the politics and the deals that are going on behind the scenes that prevent people from realizing their dreams and deprives them from a chance to complete their efforts for a better life. The song retains Project Renegade's groovy style and in your face aesthetic while adding new sonic layers to push things in a new level and direction. The band strives to motivate everyone to break away from that mold of apathy with a relentless attack that says it how it is and hopes that we all fight together as citizens of this world to regain the right for a normal and logical trajectory in our lives.

SICKOMANIA – SICKOMANIA ( Review by Varg The Mighty )


 

Today’s review is of International Thrash Metal band Sickomania’s debut album.

This band delivers a powerful kind of Thrash Metal that reminds of Overkill or Nuclear Assault mixed with elements of Thrash Death Metal and cool sweep picking to give a heavier sound to the nonetheless catchy and sometimes melodic riffs. Adding some grooves too to the sound, the band have a fairly modern sound that is nevertheless straightforward and aggressive.

Fans of moshing-friendly American Thrash Metal and more melodic subgenres will enjoy this release alike, for both aspects are finely intertwined here in a way where one doesn’t damage the other despite their contradictable nature. While some parts are crafted with pure anger intended to break your neck with its susceptibility to induce headbanging, others are full of solos and even acoustic passages with a certain darkness to them. My personal highlights are “Slumberland Prophets” and “Beyond The Ninth Gate”.

I recommend this album to fans of American Thrash Metal, Thrash Death Metal and Technical Thrash Metal. My rating is of 8,5/10.

CREEPING FLESH - …AND THEN THE BOMBS CAME (Review by Varg The Mighty)

Today’s review is of Swedish Death Metal band Creeping Flesh’s upcoming new album, out on February 11th.

This album delivers some fine old-school Death Metal in a mid-paced sort of way which may remind the listener of Asphyx (a comparison that also becomes apparent in the combination of the vocals with the music) or even Bolt Thrower in a much vaguer way, especially with the “Those Once Loyal” era in certain tracks.

These influences are adapted to a personal style rather than picked for imitation, and you can really feel the strength of Swedish Death Metal acts such as Grave or early Hypocrisy reflected too in this full-length. Some songs also have some bits of modernity that remind you that the album is from this century, and even though certain bits aren’t as classic, they add some differentiation and are compensated by a rather raw (but in a good way) recording. This release has enough personality as to not sound too generic without the cost of unnecessary experimentation. My personal highlights are “Like So Many Before Them” and “Obscure The Sun”.

I recommend this album to fans of Death Metal. My rating is of 8,5/10.
