XP8 - Adrenochrome

2013-09-25 / hellium / Reads: 4401

For the group another release usually means coming to some kind of a wall. Then they begin to reproduce themselves, by using the same music clichés and hackneyed schemes. On this record you will not find it. XP8 with their new album is a kind of a formal experiment, that...

Xotox - Schwanengesang

2014-07-09 / DamienG / Reads: 4144

Xotox's latest endeavour is every bit as ferocious and resonant as all of the albums that preceded it since the German act's début in 1998. With Schwanengesang Andreas Davis, band's sole member and creator hopes to celebrate the 15th anniversary of his unstoppable rhythm noise creation and he does so...

Xandria’s new album is a symphonic goth-metal filled with neoclassical pathos. Unfortunately, the banal pop melodies force us to deal with (forgive me) a metal version of Modern Talking ('Sisters of the light'). Quite a few songs included on ‘Salome’ seem to be perfectly fit for the qualifying rounds of...

X-Fusion - What Remains Is Black

It is well known, that X-FUSION formation, or rather John L. He, is a true pearl of dark independent in terms of building the climate. Although the measures of the very building are not too complicated - the whole album is interspersed with slower and faster rhythms almost alternately -...
