Surprises 2010: Crystalic


Band: Crystalic
Album: Persistence (second album)
Genre: Melodic Death
Country: Finland

Last years were too (much) productive in the melodic death genre, and choosing something good or original between the thousands of releases could be a hard task. The style is a bit saturated since time ago and many times if you listen often Metal and you see "melodeath", this might be even a bad signal; there are too many and too "the same" doing that.
Crystalic are not a very original band, but I think this album is standing over the thousands of melodeath releases.

Surprises 2010: Jaldaboath



Band
: Jaldaboath
Album: The Rise of the Heraldic Beasts (first album)
Genre: Medieval-Pagan Metal
Country: U.K.

The head of The Meads of Asphodel and the extincted band Ewigkeit comes with a new weird project that mixes the melodic pagan-folk-medieval metal with funny lyrics, keyboards and way of playing. Many song melodies are inspired by other melodies like "Hark the herald" (a medieval tune) or "Jaldaboath" (a TV production from the 70's-80's).
It might recall you to a Heavy Metal version of Monty Python, and could be called something like Happy-Pagan Metal. In these days it is really difficult to find a band that creates their own style, a worth listening for all the unabashedly pagan-folk metal fans.
