		<title>Whitechapel &#8211; This Is Exile</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whitechapel @ MySpace
Welcome back, Metal-Jerks Metalheads.  I&#8217;m back with a bit of deviation from my normal review patterns, but I felt that it was time I switch it up a bit, and review something that is completely outside of my usual fanfare, which would bring us to the second offering from deathcore giants Whitechapel, titled [...]]]></description>

Crematory @ MySpace
How are you doing today, folks?  I&#8217;m back, and it&#8217;s time to break out your old denim or leather jacket, make sure your mullet is unkempt, and you have a plane ticket to Haninge, Sweden, because that&#8217;s where I&#8217;ll be taking you today.  These days you will see a lot of old-school death [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mantic Ritual &#8211; Executioner</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Mantic Ritual at Myspace
Mantic Ritual&#8217;s Executioner is an example of the thrash revival being done right. Although it&#8217;s never too original, the riffs, leads and songwriting are strong as hell, resulting in an album that&#8217;s strong all the way through, and Mantic Ritual don&#8217;t make the same mistake as Blood Tsunami and make sure that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Heaven &amp; Hell &#8211; The Devil You Know</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Heaven and Hell at Myspace
It&#8217;s really a shame that this didn&#8217;t come out under the Black Sabbath name. Oh, I know how Ozzy, Bill and Geezer forced Iommi to sign a contract saying that the name couldn&#8217;t be used without the participation of all four original members, and how this was justified due to Iommi&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blood Tsunami &#8211; Grand Feast of Vultures</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Blood Tsunami at Myspace
Blood Tsunami&#8217;s sophomore effort is caught between two extremes. On one hand, the songwriting  is perfectly fine; they know how to write good riffs and the musicianship is excellent. The only truly poorly-written song in my opinion was the 13-minute instrumental Eceladus Rising, which has some good parts but just felt aimless [...]]]></description>

		<title>Church of Misery &#8211; Houses of the Unholy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Church of Misery at Myspace
Japan&#8217;s Church of Misery have offered up another solid album of groovy stoner doom metal  with Houses of the Unholy. The first thing that I should mention is that while this is a fine album, it&#8217;s not innovative by any stretch of the imagination, with the songwriting based firmly in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ulcerate &#8211; Everything is Fire</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Ulcerate at Myspace
Ulcerate hails from New Zealand, and have sent out an awesome slab of death metal that balances both technical and brutal aspects incredibly well; &#8220;Everything is Fire&#8221; truly combines the best of both worlds while not sacrificing songwriting at the altars of either subgenre. All eight of its songs are over five minutes, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mutilated &#8211; Devirginated Genital Pulp</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Mutilated @ MySpace
It&#8217;s been quite a while since my last review, and I thought I&#8217;d give this whole writing business another try.  This time I have a classic brutal death metal album from my homestate of Michigan that came out in &#8216;03.  Who says that all reviews have to be done about new ones?  There&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chainsaw &#8211; Metal Missionary</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Chainsaw at Myspace
Note to self: Don&#8217;t get an album solely because it contains a cover of a band you like. This goes double if that band is Spinal Tap.
First of all, this is the Chainsaw from Holland, not any of the seven other bands listed on Metal-archives with that name. (There are also no less [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kalisia &#8211; Cybion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Kalisia at Myspace
Despite the fact that the French progressive death metal band Kalisia was founded in 1994, Cybion, released earlier this year, is their debut. With choral vocals and the heavy use of keyboards, I felt that this album is best looked at from the perspective of progressive metal than death metal. When I want [...]]]></description>
