The speed and weight mark all Hardcore. However, the songs are fast and without time to think.

It's 24 minutes, where the energy of:Andrew Kline - Vocals

3-Caedeous:Obscurus Perpetua
thank the Italian Davide Pulito who recommended this third band to me. They are Portuguese.
We're talking about Caedeous, an extreme metal project created, composed and instrumentalized originally by Paulo Mendes alongside its male vocalist who goes by Tomas Blanc, a vocalist who goes by Giusy Tiso and nicknamed by Josephine WH and beyond,
we have a second guitarist who goes by Douglas Melchiades.Remembering that we are talking about the band's second album. In 2018, the album Domini Tenebrarum was released. Interestingly, the name of the album is also a separate song that the band made on Halloween last year.Already with the band as we know it today with the exception of Tomas. Let's go to their full album. Thanking Davide and the Portuguese for the beautiful work.
4-Deathspell Omega:The Long Defeat
Mikko Aspa-Vocal,Hasjarl-Guitar,Khaos-Bass
Surrealist, Terrorist. This is how this narrative of The Long Defeat is seen.
Evidently, the narratives of this eighth work came from folklore.But, the dense characteristic of this work is even greater than, what we saw in 2019 with the album The Furnaces of Palingenesia‘ combined with a post-apocalyptic scenario. With a torn melody, but bringing charismatic arrangements with evil and philosophical dialogues.Our fourth mention comes for the reason that the proposal is well executed, for the philosophy brought and mainly, for marking what the band called the third era.Over the course of 44 minutes, follow this battery-less horde to familiar chaos, but brought about by Frenchmen who are anointed by evil, surrealist philosophy, sonic progression and a loud, frightening noise.
5-Et Moriemur:Tamashii No Yama
Line UP:
Zdeněk Nevělík - Vocals, piano
Aleš Vilingr - Guitars
Honza Tlačil - Guitars
Karel “Kabrio” Kovářík - Bass

Based on the atmosphere written by Kafka. Doom Metal, in the form of a horde, Et Moriemur emerged to the world. Its path began in 2008. In 2009, the band released Lacrimae Rerum. In 2011, their first full album titled Cupio Dissolvi arrives in the world and, combined with the election of New Artist of the Year, give credibility to the band to go to festivals such as BRUTAL ASSAULT, GOTHOOM OPEN AIR (SK), DARKEN THE MOON (BE) and CZECH DEATH FEST.In 2014, they show us their second album which is called Ex Nihilo In Nihilum and wins more awards, now from Czech music awards issued by the Czech Academy of Popular Music and ended up third in the Břitva awards. However, the band provisionally loses Honza and hires Pavel Janouškovec. However, Pavel stays just two years after the relaunch of this second album made by Minotauro Records and with that, Honza from the Black Metal band Sól joins the band. Between 2018 and the current year, the band releases two works by the Indian label Transcending Obscurity makes two albums with them that are Epigrammata” and the current Tamashii no Yama.Stay now, with this fourth album. An album that has as its theme, in addition to its structure as a horde, a very strong influence coming from Japan.

The tenth place goes to the Swedish band Grand Harvest. Two years ago, a live album was made. However, its definitive arrival was lacking. an atmosphere full of esoteric aspects and in differentiated vocals and with notions of misanthropy we arrive at them who debut in this work.According to the editor of Sweden Rock magazine,the most underrated band brings emotions to the listener's mind, sinister vocals and well sounded and worked melodies.

A spectacular placement for a band still with points to evolve, improve, grow and design new music.

The Eighth position is a sincere thanks to the Portuguese Catia Cunha. Well, she has a producer called Aganist. She showed us this band and we had a chat with them. This is the second EP by the British Infested Angel. Powerful response to last year's EP. Crafted on behalf of Greg Chandler, these six songs take you on a hungry and active path in song preparation and production.

Now yes, the seventh position we must thank the Italian mentioned here and he indicated us a band that reaches its sixth album entitled The Ever-Rest. Their talent remains strong, powerful and with innovative polishes. Its beginning, in 1992, was with a band that started its way in Power\Thrash Metal. Today, its aspect is Thrash\Death. called Final Cry. The first album was in 1997 with Wavecrest, the second album came three years ahead with Spellcast and the third, two years later, in 2002, Wolves Among Sheep.

6:Hell Militia-Hollow Void
Line UP:
RSDX-Vocal
Saroth\Arkdaemon-Guitars

Dave Terror-Drums
Described by the members themselves as a Necro Black Metal song, the sixth position is occupied by the French Hell Militia. A band that makes a True Black and returns to the scene after ten years of absence. work alongside Antaeus, Eternal Majesty and Deviant. In 2005's Canonization of the Foul Spirit and in 2010's Last Station on the Road to Death, the saga begins with crime, depravity and decline.In 2012, Jacob's Ladder was the last work before this break for a decade. The Volta via Season Of Mist Underground, shows that nothing was forgotten by the band, an orthodox way and a nature and world turmoil helped this album gain importance.Let's go to sixth place and their full album now.
5-Crowbar:Zero And Below
Line UP:
Kirk Windstein Vocals/Guitars
Tommy Buckley/ Drums
Matthew Brunson/ Guitars

Fifth position is a band that can be divided in two. Yes, that is possible. Even because, what we know today as Sludge, one of its pioneers is here. Let's explain, this is the twelfth album of the band that from 1979 to 1988 it was called Shell Shock. The second part officially started in 1990. Under the name of Crowbar.Today, its second stage is more intense and stronger than ever. This twelfth work is called Zero And Below. The title song is what you will follow and those who arrived at the March G5, follow it now.

Our fourth place deserves a request. Don't confuse them with the band made in Parma, Ohio. It's going to be easy, not to make such a confusion. The band hasn't been around since 1993. We're talking about the Sanhedrin from New York. This powertrio that mixes Power Metal, Hard Rock, classic style and high technique.His musical life began in 2015.
