EMPYRIUM gaidāms jauns albums (pēc 7.gadu pauzes) februāra beigās. Iespējams, ka būs zināms ''back to roots'', jo, vismaz šajā gabalā, ir kāds growliņs un smagāks rifs:

Februāra beigās iznāks IOTUNN disks. Laikam debijas EP bija Prog/Power, bet šajā jau dzied Hamferd/Barren Earth vokālists un vairāk velk uz viņa bandām (~Melodic Death/Doom vai Powerdesu, kā kāds YT komentos minējis):
^ jā, šos jau manīju. Skan jau labi. Tikai interesanti, kā praktiski nevienam nezināma, divus gadus pastāvoša banda, bez slaveniem dalībniekiem, ar debijas albumu pa taisno uz Century Media trāpījusi.
Grieķu bleka scēnas veterāni (Rotting Christ un Necromantia džeki) apvienojušies vienā projektā - YOTH IRIA. skan apmēram tā, kā sagaidāms - episki un melodiski.

^^ oo, Kauan kaut kas līdzīgs growliem. Izskatās, ka varētu būt OK. Savādāk kopš Tietäjän Laulu un Aava Tuulen Maa laikiem viss ir licies pagarlaicīgs.
^ Mare Cognitum liekas, ka mazāk atmosfēriski palikuši šeit. Lai gan izklausās pretty decent.
Lai arī iepriekš atrādītā dziesma no Lake of Tears jaunā albuma neviesa cerības, ka tas varētu mani interesēt, bet noklausoties visu, tīri labi patika. Metāla tur, protams, ir pamaz, tomēr mūzika laba. Būs jāklausās vēl!
^ interesants efekts: tas ievada rifs ne smagāks par tādu Judas Priest līmeņa hevīti, bet tālāk dzirdamais trekni mironīgais vokāls toč padara visu iznākumu par kārtīgi ekstrēmu miroņnieku.
Moonspell jaunais skan diezgan labi, kā liekas pirmajā piegājienā. Es pat uz neko dižu necerēju, taču, lai arī tādu momentālu hitu īstit nav, kopumā rādās visai baudāms. Stilistiskā ziņā tāds diezgan nenosakāms, it kā gana atpazīstams, kā Moonspell, bet bišku uz proga pusi vairāk velk. Par pēdējiem 2-3 rādās labāks.
Nu 1755 bija pavisam garām. Pat man, kā diezgan lielam fanbojam, nepatika. Jaunais gan pēc pāris reizēm izklausās diezgan labs. Pietrūkst gan tas "tumšums", kas bija agŗāk. Tas laikam zudis pavisam.
