As we are
one month into the new year, the heavy metal community are
definitely getting their fair share of new releases with new music
arriving from Canada's Black Wizard, Finland's Oranssi Pazuzu, Italy's
Arcana 13 along with USA's own Tiny Knives and Omnihilty.
Black
Wizard are back with their new full-length album titled "New Waste,"
which will be released on February 12 through Listenable Records. The
new nine-song release brings in the best elements from some of the best
classic progressive metal bands like Iron Maiden and add a raw, authentic
feel to their music. Songs like "Harsh Time" and "Vivian Girls" draws upon the band's
early influences of Black Sabbath and Deep Purple, while "Eliminator"
has that strong guitar riff that is hard to resist. They close the album
with the energetic rocker "Final Ripper" that will have you hitting
repeat right after the final note. To find out more about Black Wizard
and their new album "New Waste," please visit their Facebook page at facebook.com/blackwizardband.
Next from
Europe comes two new releases from Oranssi Pazuzu titled
"Varahtelija" and Arcana 13 titled "Danza Macabra." Both bands look to
stretch the boundaries of heavy metal music. Oranssi Pazuzu deliver an
atmospheric space rock/heavy metal that makes you want to listen with
the lights off. Their twelve-minute opener "Saturaatio," which combines
progressive metal with a free-form jazz delivery to the music as the
rhythm holds the song together. The Floydian journey of the title-song
showcases the band's excellent musicianship as they continue with their
adventure. Arcana 13 have taken the theme of Italian cult horror movies
from the 60's and 70's in order to create their heavy riffs and attractive metal
sound. Songs like "Dread Ritual" and "Oblivion Mushroom" carry that
Sabbath vibe as the band sticks close to their deep dark metal roots. To

Finally
we arrive with a couple of new releases from America's own Tiny Knives
and Omnihility. Tiny Knives hails from the great Northwest and is ready
to release their debut album "Black Haze" on the Eolian Empire label.
Their music brings in the recklessness of punk music with screaming
hardcore metal vocals as displayed in "Past Tense." Their new eight-song
release is raw and as this trio of females will have you thinking twice
about whether or not women can rock as hard as men can. They mix tempos
on "Silk In The Water" and finish with the grunge-like delivery of
"Winter." Also from the great Northwest comes the new album from death
metal wizards Omnihility titled "Dominion Of Misery." Their speed and
technical abilities are outstanding as they pierce your mind with the
machine-gun-like drumming of "Psychotic Annihilation." Growling vocals
and lightning-quick guitar riffs will have your adrenaline pumping as
your follow the attack of "Dead Eden" and "Reflections In Blood." They
showcase their technical side with the gentle instrumental "Within
Shadows" and the stunning closer "The Meaning Of Misery." To find out
