Review:

Hunting Area Brain County are a hardworking band, who never lost any attraction, while expanding their sound.

They have come so far, released at least one EP in a year and they put in so much effort in getting better and producing a high quality sound. They have grown so big during their carrier.

In 2010, they finally pressed their first CD - Ages. 

Ages has 8 songs, contained all the energy and potential of Hunting Area Brain County.

Great melodic riffs, adorned with solos and pretty well build breakbeat riffs, with The Black Dahlia Murder flavor. Technical breakdowns and impressing guitarwork, which could come from the masters hand of Whitechapel or Job For A Cowboy, from such a small band. This release will blow all your expectations. 

The cover artwork pretty shows whats to find on this CD. A heavy and brutal, yet melodic and fresh album of modern Death Metal.

To sweeten the whole thing, these guys came up with a fresh idea. The fourth song, titled "Silberstadt" has german lyrics. This might be interesting for those who like to research on different languages.

Comparing this release with their others, this is surely is my personal favorite. 

I  can really recommend this to all fans of the above named bands!

Hunting Area Brain County offer a well balanced, yet perfect mixture of Melodic and Technical Deathcore/Death Metal. They will definitely get very big, when they go on bringing out such great music.

Review:

"Keeper Of The Gates" is a brew of 8 songs that could directly come from hell. 

As the cover speaks for itself, this album seems really much promising. This beast is unleashing hell!

Hound Of Hades' first release may just be a preview of what's coming in their future as band.

From the characteristics of the modern metal and core scene, this album would end really fast in the category Deathcore. But these guys are more then just Deathcore. 

The mixture of heavy breakdowns and mind blowing fast guitar solos makes this release a great modern Death Metal album!

As fast as a blastbeat ends in a breakdown, the breakdown already leads into a great harmonic solo.
Great sweeps and catchy ideas. The riffing is pretty fast, no songs has a slower passage, this album keeps smashing through the music player. 

Hound Of Hades come up with a lot of energy, which will be in evidence from the first song.

The vocals contain every type of brutal voices. Deep and long growls that wish to slit your throat, perverse and fucked up great screams in The Black Dahlia Murder style will also rip the listeners bodies apart. There should be something for everyone, though you're not a fag, because then this is a step to hard for you. So NO clean vocals, as expected. And this has to be!

 The instrumental work from the members is impressing and surprisingly pretty capable. For a first release these guys really show up enormous potential.

All songs are similar to each other. But a band should not change the style that often, and never within one release. Expanding their style and working on themselves, these guys can really grow big. And i wish it for them. For me this album is just a great release and the bands' effort paid itself. One of the less "Deathcore" albums, which is not breakdown-overloaded. I also wouldn't call this Deathcore. Maybe something between, Deathcore, Metalcore, Death Metal and Melodic. They have similarity to The Black Dahlia Murder, and since i have always been a big fan of them, i really dig these guys! Keep it going like this guys!

Support these guys and definitely check them out! ♥

 A big thanks to HABC, for allowing the upload of this!

This is the greatest release of them so far. 

Ages unleashes the full power of this band. They put in some much time into this cd and was the only one, they have pressed so far. They still have 25 prints left, which will be sold on their concerts.

I'm pretty proud to promote these guys. I met their drummer on my final school-class trip to italy in 2009!
