Surety - random songs review
Rating: 4
Reviewed by Fabryka Industrial Rock & Metal Encyclopedia on . The last composition, "Desecrated" showcases the brilliant cooperation between all the musicians of Surety. The track sounds passionate, although undiluted fury maintains control as much as a raging boxer delivers spot-on blows. Leveled guitars are accompanied and strengthened by the drums which create a connection that sounds indestructible.
Tengger Cavalry - Horseman
Rating: 4
Reviewed by Fabryka Industrial Rock & Metal Encyclopedia on . While browsing through a long list of metal bands, a listener may find out there are very few internationally recognized China-based groups in the genre. Here however comes an innovative and powerful Chinese quartet presenting traditional Mongolian music mixed with heavy metal guitars.
The 88's - Addiction
Rating: 4
Reviewed by Fabryka Industrial Rock & Metal Encyclopedia on . "Addiction" begins with a heavy and rhythmic mix written for the drums, guitar and vocals. The overall sound may fall under the category of 'sounds-a-bit-like-Metallica’. However, this passionate track has also a surprising acoustic side, based on soft melodic arrangements.

The Blackmail Seduction - War At Home
Rating: 5
Reviewed by Fabryka Industrial Rock & Metal Encyclopedia on . Listeners will definitely pay attention to very well written arrangements which leave enough space for both vocal and instrumental parts.
The Minutians - What's Wrong With My Car
Reviewed by Fabryka Industrial Rock & Metal Encyclopedia on . Regardless of the fact that this collage of sounds is based on vocals, guitars, drums and bass it also brings with it some associations to rebellious music that has been on the hit list over the last three decades. It should be noticed that The Minutians tend to create their own style independently from any possible inspirations. Arrangements that are often used in metal music give the song additional dynamics, but the female background vocals pacify the anger.

The Particles - Taken Away
Reviewed by Fabryka Industrial Rock & Metal Encyclopedia on . This song opens Voices, their debut EP released in 2011. It's filled with one male and two female vocalists, while the singers Nayla and Sabrina sound much more predatory than Ash sometimes. The lyrics were written in an illustrative way, so "Taken Away" becomes memorable thanks to the melodies available in both the choruses and refrains. There's a high probability you won't get this song out of your head during the next few hours after playing it the very first time.

Theia Collides - Last Song
Rating: 4
Reviewed by Fabryka Industrial Rock & Metal Encyclopedia on . "Last Song" sounds soothing but carries a rock spirit as well. If you're looking for a non-intrusive track that leaves the room with your imagination, then you should definitely listen to this. There's also a chance of seeing Theia Collides live, as they appear to perform quite frequently.
These Green Eyes - Paramedic
Rating: 4
Reviewed by Fabryka Industrial Rock & Metal Encyclopedia on . If this song were to be utilized in the soundtrack of a movie it would not only put an accent on the most important work of emergency teams, but also soothe the cinematic aspects of disturbing scenes that outline the reality of an accident before things return to normal. There are no brooding moods though.
Toby Poynter - The Comeback
Rating: 5
Reviewed by Fabryka Industrial Rock & Metal Encyclopedia on . The unquestionable strength of his music - the songwriting - allows Toby for expressing the call of his heart. The composition here was thought-out carefully with all possible parts filled by matching arrangements, and never choking on anything.
Tooms & Lenny Dee - Burn In Sunlight
Rating: 5
Reviewed by Fabryka Industrial Rock & Metal Encyclopedia on . If it lacks ADHD-grade vitality, roaring and screaming, and is not wrapped up with pulsating broken rhythms then spiced up with guitars, it is not real Tooms. Therefore, the band married anger-driven hardcore with high-energy techno and so, the remixes include all of above traits.
Tooms - Disgraceland
Rating: 5
Reviewed by Fabryka Industrial Rock & Metal Encyclopedia on . "Disgraceland" - the brand new single by Tooms is an in-your-face answer to the current mainstream metal music promoted through high budget advertising campaigns. This composition breaks through these unoriginal metal songs, which are represented by initially aggressive riffs that fall into soft, tendentious melodies. Instead, Tooms have made their composition angry, for a reason.
Tooms - When Two Worlds Collide
Reviewed by Fabryka Industrial Rock & Metal Encyclopedia on . The opening track entitled “Head Bang / Head Crash” is kept in both hardcore and breakcore moods, with biting vocals from Eddy Liddle and Idene Roozbayani that come across as if they are pointing fingers at the misguided in every little corner of the world. The song is dominated by intensive dynamics that are largely based on guitar riffs, but broken with electronica that is layered either in the background or below the riffs. The guitars are as noisy as machine gun fire, but certainly may be welcomed by listeners who prefer to get jammed by to-the-point vibes or those who are hooked into the rhythm first.
