Mongrel – Reclamation 2012
NOW!NOT REAL WAR…
On the album the band went through “a living hell” – said the leader of the team, Adam Savage. “It took four years, five line-up changes, two studios, two labels, and countless hours of work and here it finally comes out!”
During recording, the tension between the parties came to a head, and in the end it was decided to leave the vocalist and drummer. In place of the latter was quickly found Dave Kazukiewicz, but with a singer … “We have found the singer, but quickly stepped life circumstances and everything will have changed” – says Savage. “Then I asked my friend, Jessica’y Sierra come with us on a few shows.”
Following the presentations, Jessica became a regular participant Mongrel, and the group returned to the studio to re-record all of the material from scratch.

Saint Rebel – The Battle Of Sinners And Saints 2012
NOW!
After OLIVER WEERS’ “Evils Back” & SHOTGUN REVOLUTION’s “Join The Revolution” last year, BULLET TRAIN BLAST’s “Nothing Remains” in January and beforeMALRUN’s “The Empty Frame” in April, Mystic Music & Target Records from Denmark bring us another offshoot of this spontaneous generation, a new Rockin’ breed that mix Melodic Metalcore with Post-Grunge Hard Rock and even Heavy AOR (New Wave Scandi Melodic Modern Metal?)
Another band that seems to fit this definition is Swedish CERVELLO and their great and very very recommended self titled album or Norwegian TEODORTUFF “Soliloquy”…Concerning SAINT REBEL: here we have a very energetic bunch of Musicians raised by 90s Metal sound (METALLICA /ALICE IN CHAINS) but with some Influences coming from contemporary American scene (3 DOORS DOWN / ALTER BRIDGE) but also some hints more rooted in the 70s Euro Hard Rock…And the typical “Melodic-Efficiency Science” provided in trueScandinavian style…A good recipe.

The Kordz – Beauty and the East 2012
I’m quite sure most of us have a hard luck story from our childhood, our teenage years certainly; that ‘outcast’ feeling of being a rock fan definitely applies to most of you who make your way to these cyber pages. Well, imagine then that you had been born in a war torn country in the Middle East, where religious zealots and politicians try and control every aspect of life. Well, that’s the fascinating backdrop to which this band, The Kordz, was formed originally whilst the guys were at university in Lebanon in the early nineties.

8-bit Harakiri – Oni (2012)
8BHK started out as a mere solo project of Chadd Adam’s born from years of tiresome playing in the quickly stale growing music scene. He desired something different, melding the very best of his favorite genres and infusing a subtle nerd quality into the foundation of the project.
