[Brainstorm and Dark Age CD Giveaway]Blistering.com along with our good friends at AFM Records are giving away five (5) copies of Brainstorm’s Memorial Roots and Dark Age’s Acedia to five lucky winners. Fronted by the boundless Andy B. Franck, Brainstorm have another dependable, festival-ready platter of melodic power metal with Memorial Roots, while Dark Age embody the forward-thinking, multi-style approach that made the likes of Mercenary and Lyzanxia such melodic metal fixtures overseas and are a band to watch for 2010. Two totally recommended bands, so get on this giveaway before Friday, February 19th before it’s too late!

[Concert Review: Rash Decision in England]Places like Taunton don't get a fair share of big bands; they normally play Plymouth, Exeter or Bristol if they even hit the South West at all. So small, sweaty local gigs are the life and soul of a forsaken town, and this one was just the ticket to brush aside the winter blues. Entering the venue as relative strangers, RD set the pit alight, filled the Westgate with a sweaty enthusiasm all throughout the set and left with a host of new friends. RD tour hard and play hard, if they are in your neck of the woods go have a look.

[Dark Fortress]Ylem poses a depth hereby not often seen in the black metal realm, thus pushing Dark Fortress into the tiny space occupied by the likes of Enslaved, Keep of Kalessin, and Septicflesh. Notice the intellectual forward-thinking parallel between all four bands – it should be the pulse of black metal going into the new decade. Ylem is the first grenade into the mass of half-assed basement BM bands and convenienatly coddled together side-projects. Excellent stuff.
