Oceana introduced itself with a lot of screams on their first record The Tide. Fortunately, this did not change much. The new record Birtheater however, features some refreshing clean but powerful vocals by new singer Brennan Taulbee. Oceana did a major step in improving their sound, creating an amazing atmosphere throughout the album, not least because of the new singer Taulbee. Unlike the previous album, Birtheater also brings some quite catchy songs, for example The Family Disease. Convince yourself with some samples inside.

| Band: | Shadows Fall |

| Released: | September 2009 |

Shadows Fall raised the bar again with their brand new work Retribution: On this fifth studio album the New England melodic thrashers improved their style beyond solid. Although the record is still pure "Shadows Fall", their sound definitely evolved. On the one hand, the record is moderate and well tempered, on the other hand thrashier, straight to the point, with a lot of heavy, non-stop assault parts. This is undoubtedly Shadows Fall's finest work to date!

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!
