The Metaphor & Sudden Evil-Evil Rulz as Snake/ Split cd (2012)
Extreme Metal from China. The Metaphor brings 5 killer tracks of in the vein of early Morbid Angel and Deicide, also included a savage cover of Dark Angel "Darkness Descends", this is old school live-and-die for Metal attitude. Sudden Evil plays a brutal Death metal, it's extremely hard to be consistently memorable when playing 10,000 notes a minute at blinding speed, but it is done here. The solos really stand out. They're totally recorded well, i like the midway riff in "Dark System", which musically illustrates the song's title and also featured a bizarre cover of Kreator "Pleasure to Kill". An inhumanly brutal effort. Get your copy now!

Dinkumoil & Punisher-Underground public servants Split cd (2013)
If you like hard rocking heavy metal Dinkumoil is for you, 4 songs including a live track which is well done, they play an old fashioned style of heavy metal which makes you shake your fist and head. I'm also impressed with the music of Punisher, thrash metal and it's brilliant. These two bands will make you head move in a criminal way. Total moshing!

Hell Savior-Keep Running For Metal (2010)
Hell Savior plays traditional Heavy metal, catchy and memorable. Almost each one clocks in over 3 minutes and several longer than that, there are good songs however such as "Soundless Train" and "Keep running for Metal" and a cool cover of Judas priest "Breaking the law". Check out some real Heavy metal again!

Tractor & Skullcrusher-Sexy Big Butt/Machine Gun (Split cd-2013)
More good Metal from abroad. This time a split cd featuring two chinese bands. Tractor plays a dirty style in the vein of Motorhead, doing a good job. Skullcrusher brings a different approach, they're heavier and darker in their style, the vocals are a bit like Sodom's Tom Angelripper, this band give me the impression that they will kick ass tremendously featuring a cover of Slayer "Die By The Sword". Then again, if you get this, you can tell me your own opinion. This is cool!

Excited Insects-2011 Live In Hellfire Club (China)
A 4-piece from China with their live show featuring 8 tracks of Thrash metal that resembles a balance of riffs in the vein of Slayer, Halows Eve, and Exodus. The construction of the songs is what kept me listening as they are well-executed. Features an interested cover of Metallica "No Remorse", you need to check this band out, worth a listen!

FlamingStream-If Blood Roils (2013-China)
I'm reviewing this band from China as i had a hell of a time getting this! (thanks Fan Zhang). Great thrash metal with double-bass caught in a crossfire of guitar crunch like Evildead, Anthrax, Exidus and Vio-lence. 6 tracks that rip and i would recommend. Killer stuff.
This is the only thing of recent i know of from the band-any info on them contact: www.douban.com/flamingstream
