		<title>Galar &#8211; Til Alle Heimsens Endar (2010) Review 8.9/10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Galar is a two man act from Norway. They are classified as &#8220;viking metal&#8221; but they bring a lot more to the table than that. They mix a in little black metal and even a little neo-classical. Til Alle Heimsens Endar is their second release. It has a bigger sound than Skogskvad (their first release) [...]]]></description>

		<title>Between the Buried and Me &#8211; The Great Misdirect (2009) Review 8/10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is a band I have a love hate relationship with. Between the Buried and Me is (musically) one of the best progressive death metal bands out there. The Great Misdirect is their sixth studio release and they have reached new heights on this album.
The music that flows out of this band is just insane. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kalmah &#8211; 12 Gauge (2010) Review 8.8/10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Something new just arrived from the swamp.  Kalmah&#8217;s sixth studio album, 12 Gauge, is here. The melodies are instantly catchy, the aggression is there, the guitars sound thick, and the singing is just as intense as ever. If there is one thing Kalmah is it&#8217;s consistent.
If you are new to Kalmah (where have you been?), [...]]]></description>

		<title>Carach Angren &#8211; Death Came Through A Phantom Ship (2010) Review 9/10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Carach Angren is back wih their second full length album. The first was a dark and ghostly trip and this one improves on it in almost every way.
This  &#8221;symphonic black metal&#8221; act from the Netherlands puts as much emphasis on theatrics as they do on song writing. And this is a very cool thing. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Releases: Catamenia, Trauma, Carach Angren</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are a few new releases out today they everyone might want to check out.
Trama - Archetype of Chaos
These guys are my favorite technical death metal band. So far, from the preview track floating around online, it sounds like they are staying true to their sound.
If you like technical death metal with a dose of groove, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rotting Christ &#8211; AEALO (2010) Review 8/10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Rotting Christ&#8217;s latest effort, AEALO, is meant to be taken as a whole, as an experience, or single piece of art. This is supposed to be what a soldier goes through in battle.
You can really hear this in the music. The music starts and immediately throws us into the fray. You can hear the marching, the weapons, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Oskoreien &#8211; Illusions EP (2009) Review 9.5/10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In European folk mythology, the Oskoreien were a phantasmal horde of dead souls who roamed the land, often portrayed as being led by Odin, the Norse god of poetry and war.
 
In Pagan lore, the Oskoreien (loosely translated &#8220;The Wild Hunt&#8221; ) were the only connection between the realm of the living and the realm [...]]]></description>

		<title>In Mourning &#8211; Monolith (2010) Review 6.5/10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In Mourning plays very modern sounding progressive melodic death metal. Some of their more progressive moments bring to mind Opeth. This is about as good as they get on this album.
I really want to like this music more. There is a lot going on here and the subtly is there as well. That is something [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Kalmah Album Released Today in Japan (Europe on March 3)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Kalmah has a new album out today in Japan.  It will be released in Europe on March 3rd. I hate when they stagger the release dates. It makes no sense. The album will be online today.
The album is called 12 Gauge and it is filled with close to 43 minutes of their of blackened melodic [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finntroll &#8211; Nifelvind (2010) Review 8.9/10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There be trolls about. Finntroll is back with another frolic through the darker parts of the Finnish forest. Nifelvind is a lot more fun than their last album, Ur Jordens Djup.
In Ur Jordens Djup, Finntroll really reached a dark point in their music. I don&#8217;t mean that in a bad way, I mean that their music much [...]]]></description>

		<title>Enfold Darkness &#8211; Our Cursed Rapture (2009) Review 8.8/10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Enfold Darkness released their first studio album last year. Take somewhat technical death metal, add some great melodies, thrashy chord progressions, amazing guitar lines, and just a touch of black metal and you get Our Cursed Rapture. This music is a hell of a ride.
I am almost shocked to hear this kind of music come [...]]]></description>

		<title>Eluveitie – Everything Remains As It Never Was (2010) Review 9.8/10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Everything Remains As It Never Was is here! Eluveitie is playing some of their heaviest and most melodic music. After one listen I have placed this beside Spirit as my favorite Eluveitie album.
I&#8217;ll get my complaining out of the way now:  This music is almost too catchy. Some of it sounds like it was written [...]]]></description>

		<title>Martriden – Encounter The Monolith (2010) Review 9.8/10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Martriden came out of nowhere (Montana) in 2006 with a self produced album that sounded about as clean as any death metal album I&#8217;d heard before. The album will filled with awesome riffing and the tracks rocked. Some of my old &#8220;Logan&#8217;s Inbox&#8221; videos used their riffs as intro music (I sent them a GPU [...]]]></description>
