Traditional Doom Metal from Germany

"Chapter One" is the debut album by the southwestern German doomsters SHAYTAN, though technically it's not their first release because the band was previously known as DEMON INCARNATE and have three full-lengths and one EP to their credit. However, with a recent line-up change, most notably the addition of the talented vocalist Julian who replaced their former female singer, they decided to make a fresh start with a new name. And one can certainly hear that the guys are not newbies. They deliver raw, no-bullshit traditional doom metal, dwelling mostly in mid tempos with occasional slowdowns and accelerations. With the appropriate dirt under their fingernails, they have created a sound foundation that draws from the primordial sludge of the genre pioneers like BLACK SABBATH and PENTAGRAM, but mostly '80s and '90s doom of legendary acts like TROUBLE, CANDLEMASS, SOLITUDE AETURNUS and THE OBSESSED, while also displaying strong similarities to newer purveyors of the genre, particularly NOMAD SON, KRUX, GRIEF COLLECTOR and FAMYNE. Their riffs are heavy and the songs are replete with captivating choruses, often supplemented with oriental influences. There is not a single dull moment on this album, and at a mere 34 minutes, it doesn't overstay its welcome. The warm production rounds it up perfectly, resulting in a most pleasant listening experience.

Heavy Metal from UK

"Zeppelin" is the second full-length album from "everyone's favorite garlic-dodging anti-heroes" (Metal Hammer, UK), the London-based vampire metal act, STUKA SQUADRON. The band is well known as one of the progenitors of the NWOTHM and has been working on this comeback album for nearly a decade after facing tribulations following the release of "Tales of the Ost" in 2011. This new record shifts the action forward (or perhaps back) from the World War II-themed debut, as our heroes pursue a most ancient Enemy of Mankind all the way back to 1916. It's a heavy metal tale of time travel, The Great War, airships and the Stuka pilots' showdown with the notorious Rasputin himself. It consists of 13 tracks of Maiden-esque and highly varied metallic mayhem. The songs are skillfully crafted with elegant melodies, clever wordplay, bang-your-head riffs and bang-your-fist choruses, and an absolute absence of cheese. STUKA SQUADRON have grown as songwriters since their debut, and the current line-up is poised to please old fans anew and convert newcomers in droves. So, check out the greatest metal band ever formed by undead pilots who flew in World War II... If you crave epic and inspiring metal along the lines of IRON MAIDEN, BLIND GUARDIAN, ICED EARTH, DEMONS & WIZARDS, HELL, SAXON, SAVATAGE, ASKA, and SAVAGE CIRCUS, "Zeppelin" is for you!
