'Pact With Solitude '

(Self-released)

A mysterious beginning around 2004 found the world of utopian.hope.dystopian.nihilism (that's right, all lower case...hmm – ED), the enchanting sounds and absolute originality blend so perfectly when it hits your ears . Elvio Rodrigues, the architect of this band, searched for the extremity of music and mind bringing this album to life , his song 'Self-Inflicted Metamorphosis' is a breath of fresh crisp serenity to my ears... This album may not be for everyone but it definitely warrants attention on all levels, despite the minor lack of production which would of increased this album's eclectic beating blood drenched heart 100 fold. His lyrics need attention but when you heard it you will be entranced. It's definitely worth listening to, so soak up some of this now!

Deviant Syndrome 'Inflicted Deviations' review

DEVIANT SYNDROME

'Inflicted Deviations'

(MDD Records)

Deviant Syndrome started their journey in Russia 2005, definite melodic death metal. Originality is a little lost with this album but it makes it up with some medium to heavy lyrics. The band is in rhythm with each other, a lot of bands nowadays forget the importance of that. Monstrous jams and underground bands are a dying breed, if any of you like the formidable sounds of Kalmah and Children Of Bodom, then by all means you will mosh to this album. There is a potential for growth musically with Deviant Syndrome . Lets hope we get another album soon.
