Although often classified as death metal, Norwegian outfit Susperia tread more firmly in the territory of alternative metal, albeit with certain dark, thrash-inspired tendencies. ATTITUDE, the band's fifth studio album, confirms this fact and finds Susperia honing their brand of swaggering yet melodic metal in the vein of Sepultura, Testament, and even dark grunge acts like Alice in Chains. Black metal fans won't find what they're looking for here, but fans of alternative metal with bite should give ATTITUDE a try.

Attitude album
$13.39 Because Susperia include ex-members of Satyricon (guitarist Terje Andersen, aka Cyrus) and Dimmu Borgir (drummer Kenneth Åkesson, aka Tjodalv), many people have assumed that their focus is black metal; Satyricon and Dimmu Borgir, after all, are among Norway's best-known black metal bands. But even if Susperia's earlier releases had some relevance to black metal, there is nothing black metal about their fourth full-length album, Cut from Stone. This 2006 recording/2007 release offers a blend of thrash metal and alternative metal, drawing on influences that include Sepultura, Anthrax, Testament, and Exodus. The songs are melodic yet intense and forceful, and shredding guitars are the rule. Some black metal aficionados who associate Cyrus with Satyricon and know Tjodalv from Dimmu Borgir will be disappointed to hear that Cut from Stone is devoid of black metal content, but then, Susperia were never a straight-ahead black metal band -- not even in the late '90s -- and they never claimed to be a carbon copy of Satyricon, Dimmu Borgir, or anyone else in black metal. Therefore, Cut from Stone should not be judged by black metal standards (or, for that matter, death metal standards). It needs to be judged by thrash metal/speed metal standards and alternative metal standards, and when those standards are applied, it is clear that Cut from Stone is a decent thrash/alt-metal effort -- not mind-blowing, but decent. Some of the credit for Cut from Stone's creative success goes to Daniel Bergstrand, the album's producer. Bergstrand, who has worked ...
| | Warrel Dane Praises To The War Machine CD (2008)
Attitude CD music
$13.85 The metal singer Warrel Dane is a cut above many of his peers, with a nuanced vocal approach that belies the genre's usual cookie-cutter, guttural stylings. But even though he's sensitive, he's still no wimp. "When We Pray" skewers a world gone wrong, propelled by scorching guitar riffs and Dane's sneering vocals, while "Messenger" and "Obey" both feature the smoking fields of Armageddon as a backdrop. There's also a well-chosen cover, U.K. goth pioneers the Sisters Of Mercy's "Lucretia My Reflection," complete ...
| | Evergrey Torn CD (2008)
Attitude music CDs
$14.35 Getting back to basics after the experimental 2006 release MONDAY MORNING APOCALYPSE, Evergrey rebounds with its most aggressive and dynamic album to date, TORN. And the seventh studio offering from the Swedish progressive metal quintet exhibits considerable musical growth. Produced by front man Tom S. Englund and drummer Jonas Ekdahl, TORN is an exploration ...
| | Metal Church This Present Wasteland CD (2008)
Attitude songs
$15.09 Metal Church helped define the West-Coast thrash metal sound, and they've hung around long enough to see the style come back into vogue. Despite roots in thrash hotbed San Francisco and the pre-grunge Pacific Northwest, they developed their own unique style, still on display on THIS PRESENT WASTELAND. Opener "In The Company of Sorrow" is classic driving ...

Attitude album
$12.49 This DVD/CD includes a 24 page full color booklet. The CD includes 10 songs. The DVD includes 13 tracks filmed at Summer Breeze 2007.
The modern barbarians of Amon Amarth are dedicated to mining their native Sweden's Viking past for tales of battle glory and eternal feasting that they can build into their colossally melodic death metal. Their seventh album, TWILIGHT OF THE THUNDER GOD, makes plain its mission from the album cover, featuring the Mighty Thor wielding his mystic hammer against a giant dragon. The music itself bludgeons the listener just ...
