PHARAOH - "After The Fire": very good traditional/power metal. Right now I have Pharaoh along with Steel Prophet as the most appealing American Poer bands to my taste. Of course Tim Aymar vocals helps a lot since he is very distinctive and I had enjoy his work with Control Denied.

RENACER - "Renacer": Argentinian power metal with Christian Bertoncelli (ex-Imperio) on vocals which was the main reason to get this one blindly. Also has Claudio Marciello (Almafuerte) on guitar on one song, and the great Alberto Zamarbide (ex-V8, Logos) on duet vocals on another which kick ass for me.

TRIBUTE - "A Tribute To The Beast VOL.2": another crappy tribute courtesy of Nuclear Blast which firmly believe in having bands killing the originals. I have to rescue Anthrax, Tankard and Wolf, the rest are simply ugly and I was dissapointed/surprised with Sentenced coming with growls (probably from their early era) and Thunderstone being a bit 'gayish' for my taste. I already had Mago de Oz and Iced Earth on some other slabs.

TRIBUZY - "Execution": heavy power metal with the help of Kiko Loureiro (Angra) and most solos and also Roland Grapow and Roy Z. Bruce Dickinson, Mat Sinner and Michael Kiske collaborate on vocals too. Interesting but not essential.

DARKNESS - "Conclusion And Revival": nice thrash with clean vocals. Fans of the band may dismiss this compared to the previous albums but this one works fine for me.

NIGHTSCAPE - "Symphony Of The Night": sweetened neo-classical/power. Works for me but is most definitively an album I could pass by in 2005.

LISTERIA - "Full Of Fire": very interesting proposal from Italy. Heavy metal highly based on old school structure. Reminds me like a mix of Warning S.F., Motley Crue, Judas Priest, Pegazus altogether out of the blender. It's not innovative but highly enjoyable (albeit a shot album ~35 min).
