The Finnish four man combo Circle of Contempt formed in 2006 and recorded Artifacts in Motion as their first album in late 2009. CoC play straight technical deathcore more than anything else, the sound is heavy, complex and diversified, riddled with stop-and-go riffs and raging drums. CoC is quite demanding to listen to but Artifacts in Motion also has its more melodic moments. The record is overall well crafted, played and produced.

| Band: | Curse at 27 |
| Album Title: | The Departed |
| Released: | June 2009 |
| Genres: | Metal, Metalcore, Deathcore |

Dynamic, diverse, harsh, raw, intensive, unexpected, demanding, creative, all these attributes characterize Curse at 27's new work. The newcomers from Australia demonstrate solid skills on their debut album The Departed. The recording is great, their sound is powerful with heavy varieties in vocals, speed and style. Curse definitely found their very own niche as the album is a very unique piece of work. Regrettably, the disk is very short with about an half-hour of playing time. However, be warned, don't expect a few whiny emo-boys playing a cute song... prepare for the evil.

| Band: | Zao |
| Album Title: | Awake? |
| Released: | May 2009 |
| Genres: | Metal, Metalcore, Deathcore, Hardcore |
| Homepage: | http://www.zaoonline.com/ |
The ever evolving band Zao, with no less than 16 former members in the history of the band, returned with a great, new album. Zao is one of the pioneers in the metalcore genre and on Awake? they remained true to their sound. The production of this record is clean, aggressive deathcore vocals, few melodic parts with clean vocals and coarse, raw guitar work. A solid enrichment of the bands already impressive discography.

| Band: | Caliban |
| Album Title: | Shadow Hearts |
| Released: | 2003 |

Shadow Hearts is the second full-length release of the German metalcore band. Caliban released three more records in 2004, 2006 and 2007. Unfortunately, these records show a different, more commercial sound with a lot of clean vocal parts. In April 2009, Caliban is about to release their sixth studio album Say Hello To Tragedy, and it is said to be a bit darker and heavier than the previous ones. Back to the roots, Caliban!
