Website : www.kundrat.com www.ratskates.com

 Are you a fan of the band Overkill or how about early east coast thrash/speed/blood metal from the early to mid 80's? Well then you are in luck ... Kundrat Productions and filmmaker Rat Skates have brought you the DVD/film of your dreams!
 Basically its the personal story of Rat and how he started into music and how he created the Overkill machine ... also included is a glimpse into the scene at the time along with the history of the genre. Rat gives you a detailed accounting of how things were and how they evolved, its an amazing journey he revisits with the viewer! If you are just starting out a band this is a must own DVD on "how to do it yourself" from stage creation to promotion and much more ... it's a very interesting look at an man his dream, his girlfriend the pillar and equal partner and all the hard work that did in the creation of one of METAL's GREATEST BANDS!
 I highly recommend this DVD!

CongloMeratorZ - Natually Heavy

Band Website : www.cgzmusic.com

 From the Opening notes of this album you know that you are in for a sonic treat! Intensity, Energy and Brutality can best describe this MeTaL offering. The band a PoWeR Trio of Bno (Bass,Vocals,Keys) Mike (Guitar,Keys) and JC (Drums) are all highly skilled MeTaL technicians and provide you with the audio ride to get your neck snapping into the groove. The highlight tracks off this release for me are "No Directional Force","Deception at Sea" and "Anti Glass Theory" all of which will stay in the MetalNetRadio airplay rotation for years to come!

SONIC ORCHID - Sonic Orchid

Band Site : www.sonicorchid.com

Hard rocking good times can be found in the music of the Sask. band Sonic
Orchid, modern sounding but envoking the sounds of past Canadian rock giants
such as The Headpins, Helix and Sass Jordan! The bands rythmn unit of Grant
Frew (drums) and C.J. Cook (Bass) are extremely tight and head pounding,
mix that with the tasteful guitar playing of Brad Evanochko and you have the
right background for the powerful vocalist Christina Gasparic. Her voice is
powerful, clear and demands your attention! This band is on the rise and
would be well worth checking out at www.sonicorchid.com . All 6 tracks on
the self titled cd are excellent and i highly recommend that you pick it up!

NO DAWN - Necessity E.P.

Website : www.nodawn.com

 Question: Do you like Thrash/Death Metal ? If the answer is YES then you need to check out this band from Norway called NO DAWN. I first came across this band around 2004 when they sent me their self titled demo, it was rough cdr with black and white photocopied cover, but its the music that matters and right away i was impressed and hooked!
 Well last week i got their latest E.P. called "Necessity" and i am amazed once again by this band. For starters the opening track "No Dawn" is a up tempo thrash assault that leaves your heart rate pounding and your headbanging! Next is the song "My Damnation" it has a pantera feel to it, well a nordic pantera feel. It continues with the next track called "Spawned in Madness" more of a groove/thrash track. And the E.P. ends off with a Live track called "Rise".
 Whats really impressive about this E.P. is that it was all done on their personal computers, the sound quality is amazing and sounds like they have a lot of talent producing and mixing. I wouldn't be surprised if a major label picks this band up based on this release, it's definatly worthy of getting a lot of label attention. This band is something to really look out for!
