Yyrkoon - Unhealthy Opera
Where do the French breed all those damn good bands??? This is one good Death metal record! I aleady loved the last Yyrkoon Album but this one simply kicks ass too. Dirk from Scarve doesn't drum on this one so the drumming is more straight forward this time and not so crazy but it still kicks ass. The songs are all solid and you can listen to the record from start to finnish without getting bored. And to make the Album a bit more diverse, you'll find soem really cool acoustic songs in between some of the brutal songs. I always say that you can sort of compare their music with the recent Bloodbath Album, Yyrkoon are just faster..and I like them a little better too. So if you like Death Metal, give this a try.
you can listen to a sample here:

Zombi - Cosmos
Who would have thought that I could ever like something like that but this is one cool record. If you enjoy space and often look at space pictures like I do, then this is a CD for you. Do you know that really cool synthesizer part in Pink Floyd's song 'Welcome To The Machine'? Then you kinda have an idea what this whole CD sounds like. It's basically synthesizers, a bass and drums. Not very rock and roll, I will admit that but it's really enjoyable. So if you're in need for something different that doesn't need to have guitars, then check this out.

Zyklon - World Ov Worms
This is probably one of the best Albums to release some aggression to. While I liked their Album Aeon, it just isn't as extreme as World Ov Worms. It's basically a Black and Death Metal mixture with a little bit of Industrial mixed in here and there. Unfortunatey there wasn't really a lot of Black Metal anymore on Aeon. This band features Samoth and Trym from Emperor but you can't really compare their music to Emperor's music. The first song "Hammer Revelation" is already worth purchasing the whole CD. After a short intro it just saws your head off. This is definitely no church music! If you need something extreme, listen to this CD and you know what 'extreme' means.

Myrkskog - Deathmachine
Did I say Zyklon is extreme? Well, Imagine Zyklon's World Ov Worms without the comfy parts and you have Myrkskog's Deathmachine. I really love this record. Like Zyklon, Myrkskog also got rid of their Black Metal influences after their debut. But this one still has lots of BM in it. Definitely one of my favorite extreme Metal Albums.
