\r\nGermans Nektra seem to be a little bit tangled with their influences and their hearings in general. Packetize (d) is their new album with what they try to put in order everything that they were listening to all those years, but unfortunately the result isn’t all that positive. Their music cannot be tagged in one specific form since there are influences from many and different styles and beyond this, it doesn’t even have something personnel that will make the band to be distinguished.
\r\nA very good mixture of Thrash and Death, in the right proportion that maintains elements from both and combines them in a nice way. But…. While on one hand the tracks are intense, they have rage, passion, they come out aggressively, on the other hand, compositions-wise they do not have this little something so make them different enough. In other words, this is not something we haven’t heard before. The production is in a good level and it elects the brutal feeling that the band wants to show.

\r\nThe second full album of Let It Flow is called "Meanings". The band is\r\nfrom Izmir (Turkey) and unfortunately their fate was not too fair since\r\njust a few days before the release of their album from their label, all\r\nwas cancelled and the band was left without support. But Let It Flow\r\ndidn’t give up and they decided to do something absolutely correct to\r\nmy opinion, so that their efforts would not be lost and their music\r\ncould be heard. They decided to offer their record for free download\r\nand give access to everybody.
\r\nThe Rotted are the beloved Gorerotted who have changed their name. With their new name and a fresh attitude which breezes through everything the British release their debut album entitled Get Dead Or Die Trying. I confess I didn’t expect to be impressed just because bands like The Rotted are all around. But to my surprise they proved me completely wrong. Given the past of the band the genre is Grindcore with a few Death Metal parts but also a few Punk influences to give a Napalm Death effect.
\r\nWarning: these guys play in an alternative way, which means that it’ s not precisely metal, it ‘s not precisely Rock, but it ‘s what is characterized from the record companies as “modern”, take it or leave it. The songs make continuous circles from aggressive and screaming, almost brutal, to more melodic and sentimental, almost Emo-like, yet through an abrupt way of type such as having a really intense and angry song which suddenly turns to “mourning” and aggressive again.
No, it is neither the aesthetic colourful Australian flower (waratah) or the ship with the 211 passengers (SS Waratah) which mysteriously disappeared in 1909 on the way to Australia without leaving traces behind. But it is a promising metal band created in December 2005 in Bordeaux, France by Khris (guitars / vocals) in an attempt, as he says, to express through his music all that could not be expressed through his other bands. You’ll see the Warattah to rank among the emerging progressive thrash metal bands, But the “Titles” are not so important.
