Boston Skyline Records

The band, Arch Enemy released Khaos Legions this year. It’s a great overall testament to their heavy metal powers, a great, vibrant lively album. Scar Symmetry put out, The Unseen Empire earlier this year. This album is easily the bands best to date, a lot of new original never before heard material. Redemption at the Puritan’s Hand released Primordial, and as usual that band, doesn’t disappoint. There is not as much black metal fixtures in this album, but the band sounds a bit better this time around.Additional information can be found at http://www.metalsucks.net/2011/07/19/scar-symmetry-fans-are-butthurt/. Strtovarius had a big comeback this year, with the release of Elysium. This is a truly powerful album, and the cover features some outstanding artwork. A very progressive metal album this year was Never be Tamed by Conflicted. Truly a brilliant album with extremely difficult technical elements, not to be missed by metal fans. Probably the best album that Edbuy released is their current album, Age of the Joker. Really outstanding vocals in this album. A group of different metal members formulated, the band, Stargazery, their current release is, Eye of the Sky, it’s a truly remarkable effort, very interesting mixture of sounds, and makes one think of great bands of the past.
