In an era where experimental weirdness reigns supreme in the heavy metal field, Memphis' Epoch of Unlight fight for the honor of tried and true death metal in its original, blistering, nerve-ending damaging form. The hyperactive trio even start off their second album, 2001's Caught in the Unlight with a creepy thirty second intro -- how old school is that?!?! They then proceed to crush the listener with the most uncompromising, ultra-technical death metal holocaust to emanate out of the South in some time. In fact, Caught In the Unlight is a classic "second chance" record. The kind that will leave even experienced thrash enthusiasts nonplussed upon first listen, then suddenly reveal itself as an absolute monster the second or third go-round. Standout tracks like "At the Threshold of Might," "Crimson and Steel" and "The Last to Fall" slowly infiltrate one's memory banks with their unabashed love for violence, awesome musicianship and subtle use of melody. Also particularly memorable, is the ultra-aggressive title track, as well as hysterically named "Ululant Cries," with its 'At my signal, unleash Hell' intro lifted straight out Gladiator and. And perhaps most distinguishing of all is the work of drummer (and head songwriter) Tino Losicco, whose eye-popping technique often involves the novel approach of avoiding flowing percussion and coming to a full stop at the end of each measure instead (see "The Ethereal Taint") -- strange, but certainly unique. A recommended release for lovers of early days thrash and death metal. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia

Recorded at Festival Studios, Louisiana on December 16-20, 2000.

Audio Mixer: Keith Falgout.

Recording information: Festival Studios, LA.CMJ (6/4/01, p.19) - "...'Melodic' black and death metal....This highly technical American trio play out like they are serious students of all things organic metal..."

Decapitated Winds Of Creation CD  (2000)

Caught In The Unlight! album
CD $14.05  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
In the dark, murky realm of death metal, perhaps no band is more worthy of taking hold Excalibur's hilt and leading the next charge down the mountain into fiery oblivion than Poland's Decapitated, and one need look no further for proof than on the band's 2000 debut, Winds of Creation. Much has been made of the band's supposed "tender" age (the average age of the members was around 18 when Winds of Creation was released), and in fact, early on, they were slighted from the respect they would have otherwise been due because of this; however, it must be remembered that a certain gruff-throated, engine-wristed young vocalist/guitarist for another certain popular metal band was only 18 when his band's debut, Kill 'Em All, was released, and needless to say, as is the case here, tender had nothing to do with it. Ironically, in the eyes of many metal fans, Winds of Creation is almost as much of an astonishingly groundbreaking album as Kill 'Em All was in its day. To begin with, the band has a seemingly effortless understanding and command of both their instruments and death metal's highly stylistic requirements. The mind-bendingly blistering technical virtuosity would be amazing in a group of older musicians, much less for a band of teenagers, and better yet, they refrain from slipping into the routine, over-the-top expediency so common in their genre; the guys in Decapitated ...

Krisiun Conquerors Of Armageddon CD  (2000)

Caught In The Unlight! CD music
CD $8.99  4 stars Audio Samples
Krisiun is not a band that puts a lot of emphasis on experimenting or on trying to achieve a radically original sound. Instead, they just keep on honing their attack, focusing on making their music even faster and heavier (to the narrow extent that that is possible). Conquerors of Armageddon is their third official album, and it is basically just a bigger and (arguably) better version of what you hear on their first two: Morbid Angel-influenced death metal that overflows with blasting drumbeats, guttural guitar/bass riffs, growled-out vocals, and completely over-the-top guitar solos. For those keeping score, this album may not be quite as fast as Black Force Domain, their official debut, but it's still extremely fast. More importantly, though, the production is the best to date on a Krisiun recording -- it's fuller and more clearly defined than before, ...

Wintersun CD  (2004)

Caught In The Unlight! music CDs
CD $14.69  4.4 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
At first glance, a Finnish heavy metal band named Wintersun, whose album cover shows a fallen warrior lying face down in the snow, might elicit thoughts of simplistic black metal infused with pagan or anti-Christian messages, but it doesn't take long for this eponymous debut to prove that first impressions can be deceiving. In fact, the new project of former Ensiferum and Arthemesia vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Jari Mäenpäa merges the hyper-fast precision of Yngwie Malmsteen-like guitar playing (witness the speedy "Beyond the Dark Sun") with the melodic sensibilities of post-Helloween power metal (see the more diverse "Winter Madness") and a homegrown passion for folk-styled songwriting descended straight from trailblazing compatriots Amorphis. If there is any sign of black metal songwriting to be found here, it's in the majestic symphonic backdrops draped all over the ever more ambitious offerings that follow: "Sleeping Stars" flirts with doom via its slow-creeping riffs, "Death and ...

Blind Guardian Night At The Opera CD  (2002)

Caught In The Unlight! album
CD $13.09  4.4 stars Audio Samples
Contains an untitled hidden track following " And Then There Was Silence." Probably the most adventurous disc of Blind Guardian's career (and that's saying something with this troupe), A Night at the Opera lives up to its name by channeling Queen's most symphonic arias through a dynamic prog metal background that makes Fate's Warning's most complex licks seem positively pedestrian in comparison with a glorious production that allows every nuance to literally explode from the loudspeakers. As ambitious as this disc is, however, it is similarly difficult to digest. Everything is over the top to the nth degree; every refrain is bolstered with a chorus lifted to the heavens; every song is an overwrought epic overture of garish calls to Valhalla; every moment is a grandiose concerto. By the time you hit the bonus track "Mies del Dolor," ...
