It hasn't been released in the US and it doesn't seem to be floating around the internet, so I won't be reviewing it any time soon. :thumbsdown:

And here's a song on youtube, for a quick listen:

It's up to you, of course, but if you actually want someone to review your album for you, I would suggest offering at least the mp3s for the reviewer for free instead of making him buy the album or listen to streams online.

If I can get some motivation, I'd like to write one for Red Blade, solid stuff.

Azure Emote - Chronicles of an Aging Mammal (since I already kind of rec'd you the album maybe you would do the honors, MalignantThrone?)

Would anyone be interested in reviewing bands from India?

Depends on the sort.

I'd love to do some stuff from there (demos/EPs for preference) just to hear something a bit different but I'd be next to useless at reviewing anything power/symphonic/etc.

What genre's you would love to review bro??

I'm mostly a death/black/grind/extreme doom guy, but I've got love for most metal genres. Its only the really flowery power/symphonic/gothic bands I wouldn't know how to review properly.

Ok, probably your millionth request... My band "Arisen From Nothing" from Seattle, WA is a hard rock/modern metal band. We have just released a new album titled "In Nothing We Trust." This is a "theme" album that explores some of the darker topics of Americana. Not unpatriotic, but a look at ourselves and a call to look at the mechanisms of control and the status of our society in this modern gilded age.

If you are interested in reviewing the album, preview it first at: http://www.arisenfromnothing.com/afnmusic.html

If you would like to write a longer comprehensive review, contact me, and I will send you a link to our digital promo page.

Thanks!

Can there be some sort of list of reviewers willing to review bands' demos or something. I am always looking for material to review for my blog. Willing to review pretty much anything. A lot of people post here looking for reviews of their demo... it would be great for them to have a list of dedicated reviewers.

My band, MIDNITE HELLION, would be honored to have our newest release reviewed. "Enter The Unknown" is the title, and you may listen to the full release at the link below. If you have any questions, PM me or for an immediate response, contact me at [email protected].

http://www.midnitehellion.com/music1.html

Jon (Orion) and Zodijackyl, it would be great if you two would review this release for us as well, as you both reviewed our demo. I'd love to see the compare and contrast between the reviews.

Thanks in advance!

Actually, you CAN find it on the internet, the entire album is on Youtube through Be'lakor's own channel. Also can be bought through iTunes, or ordered through any CD outlet. OR, if you're inclined to download it, it can be found of Soulseek.

The album has three reviews already, two of which from regular reviewers. I've been thinking about reviewing it for a while but I will only do so when the itch becomes too strong.

Let's see what this thread can do. Since I have yet to regain my motivation for writing, I'd be interested in seeing/reading MA reviews by someone (anyone!) else for the following releases: Azure Emote - Chronicles of an Aging Mammal (since I already kind of rec'd you the album maybe you would do the honors, MalignantThrone?) Beelzefuzz - Demo 2011 (available for free sanctioned download here) Any or both of Blackholicus' albums Caducity - The Weiliaon Wielder Quest Carnivora Masacre - Sangre Any or both of Damage's demos Fistula - We, The Beast Humanasaur - Monster Saviour Song Jelonek - Revenge JT Bruce - Universica (I hate seeing the only review for this cool piece of instrumental DIY space prog being by ConorFuckingFynes... available for free sanctioned download here; even if you have no intention of reviewing it, download it anyway!) Kroh - Kroh Metal Band - Demo Plazenta Eater - I Hope You Get... Red Blade - Powerwalker Replica - Metanoia Sheavy - The Machine That Won the War Striga - Striga Tron - Tron Bloody Tron Wurzlzwerg - Dwarf King Rievezåhl I'm able to provide some of the more obscure stuff if requested.

Someone more skilled than me in the art of reviewing needs to knock this Epica album down a notch. While I wouldn't say it's a terrible album, its current 100% rating is just plain goofy.

I'd like to request Napero, if you have the availability and willpower, to review Barren Earth's sophomore album. After enjoying the read on the debut it would be interesting to see how the opinion goes on this one.

You'll need to get the original authors to submit the reviews themselves, or otherwise it'd be plagiarism (for which MA has a zero-tolerance policy).

I am looking for people interested in reviewing the newest Contaminated Tones Release: Gates of Eternal Torment - Imprisoned Beneath The Ice of This Cold Black Void. PM if interested. I only send material out via snail mail and I have a limited amount of promotional copies. This tape has been several years in the making. The sole force behind this release recorded the five tracks in several different places, across different states and pieced everything together over a span of two years. His nomadic lifestyle is expressed through the bleak atmospheres and lo-fi production.

There are a few records I've requests for review, none of which I'm on as a performer, although I'm affiliated with all four (I.E. I played live with Blacksoul Seraphim and I am potentially drumming on their second album whenever that comes to be made) and will be appearing on the next Dethlehem record in a voice role. http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/La ... nas/288993 http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/La ... emo/360163 Firstly, both releases by Lago.

Hey guys, So yes this is my for my band Akem Manah. I have a whole bunch of reviews done by websites and blogs that i would love to see up on the website. I have seen other bands with these type of reviews. I don't feel comfortable doing this myself. Seems kind of stupid to post reviews about my own band. But i have a list of reviews here: http://www.facebook.com/notes/akem-mana ... 1952075365 Any help would be great. Thanks - Nedry http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Ake ... 3540310322

Anybody up for reviewing a female-fronted depressive black metal band? I just put our EP, "Dreams of Dystopia" on Soundcloud today for free streaming (it's in 320kbps format, so it's good quality). We have one review so far by The Autistic Metalhead, and he seemed to like it, but we'd like to know what you think about it, too! Thanks in advance if you take the time to write us a review--we appreciate it!
