Review:
Second up is Dol Ammad, who sounds like grand choiring meets future metal. There are lots of electronic elements in the music, like the opening of Noctis Labyrinthus that reminds me of the old records Amon Tobin used on his excellent Permutation.

Recommended.

Review:
Thought i put out reviews by two greek bands today =)
First up is veterans Rotting Christ, whos last effort topped my 2010 list.  They are back with another quality record, filled w their own sound of dark folk, black metal. Their signature riffs shines through and the female voices sounds like witches swearing out their curses.

Highly Recommended.
