Angel Chambers - New Mecca

These guys are calling this little number their 'demo' but from listening through it non-stop for the past year or more, it's more of a full album or a super long EP. As far as local bands go for myself these guys are at the top of the list somewhere. I'm still in disbelif the quality of the recording with screams, three part vocal harmonies, strings/violins and the good ol' fashioned electric drill technique thrown in for some badass solo parts!

This demo is only on sale from the guys themselves so jump on their myspace or bebo and see when and where they're playing.

Ozzmium, might also be worth a look in, let's just say Angel Chambers drummer (Dessie) is a very talented man.

Escape Fails - Love, Blood, Family, You

These boys have blown me away at live shows, the first time being their Kerrang Tour, after party in Lavery's Bunker. Now they finally have an album to go along side their intense performances and boy does it deliver! They've worked very hard and its showing loud and clear, especially with some of the recent tour dates they've landed with Enter Shikari.

They have a nice review of the album over at Belfast Metal Heads Reunited

Here's the ol' myspace link, buy their album on iTunes or Amazon, they deserve the support!
