ZekeNigma Meridian gives us a taste of what In Flames would've sounded like if they had stayed melodeath, but also experimented with keyboards. It's too bad that this would be the only release before they split, because this is something truly unique. We may never hear anything like this ever again, but that's what makes this EP an all the more valuable gem. Favorite track: The Sun.

Oliver Schiller Great groove and a unique sound. The Vocals and the writing are also outstanding in their quality. Favorite track: Let Go.
Morts

Morts I'm at a loss at how to properly convey what this sounds like. Perhaps what you'd get if a metal supergroup existed that combined the writing and performing talents of Jordan Rudess, Jesper Strömblad and Mikael Åkerfeldt! Perhaps there are many that would think I'm overselling it with such a statement, but I'll stick with it. And it gets better with every listen! Favorite track: Empty Spaces.

King Jonas the Humble Sadly the band has split up (2013), but this EP is a great addition to my collection anyway and to yours as well. Four out of five maiming fists of ferocity. Favorite track: Children Of Rust.
Franz Berwein

Franz Berwein One of the best melodeath albums of all time and I am not even kidding. It's the saddest shame that these guys quit the band. If you love melodeath, this is an absolute MUST to check out. Favorite track: Virocon.

1.
We are the children of rust. Our voices are quiet and meaningless. Like the chattering of rats. In dark and squalid corners. Around our feet, plastic bags and old newspapers wrap and cling, like the skin of some dead or dying thing. Tepid ideals catch flame and blaze in a breath of apathy. Bright like moons watching; glowing over the night. Don't long for the past, our premodern womb. It was but a prelude, besides -without us, it loses all meaning.

The Sun 03:44
Each day is just another day. Every face, another frame. I cant take, the way we go astray. Its not a fear, for want to do better, neither settle, nor live regretting. For the moment, to take back rather than to take in, everything we had and watch it, fade away. There's nothing I wouldn't give to, see some light, in the distance but then the walls close in and I cant see your face anymore. Black and white the fantasy lives, in the eyes of the closed minded, and closed hearts, that give only short lived perspectives and spiteful directives. Open your mind to see the sun. Remove moral blindness and see what you've done.

Virocon 06:12
The name echoes no more and in its place another lies. Meek and small, where Virocon was tall. Gone are the great paths and in their place - not much; green grass in a golden sunset. Roads that once went somewhere, now lead to rough columns of stone; grey and cold, and dead, among archways to nowhere Virocon. Virocon. Virocon. Virocon. Now only the birds chatter and the lazy flies linger over the ruins of a dead empire.

Let Go 03:56
Let go, just let go, An axiom of denial. Let go of it, don't bottle it up, Don't preach to me you closet psychopath. Let go of the anger. The lies, we are told. Juxtaposed against our own - nature. Hush little baby don't say a word mothers gonna smother your fear and strip away, your humanity. Because the terror, is a lie, we fool, ourselves. Let go, just let go, An axiom of denial. Let go of it, don't bottle it up, don't preach to me you closet psychopath. Let go of the anger. The lies, we are told. Juxtaposed against our own nature.
5.
Empty Spaces 04:06
Together we stand, divided and all, on either side of this brick wall. We built this you and I, after all brick by phlegmatic brick. But still we wonder, what's behind it all. After all, all in all. All that we saw and knew and all that we sew and all that we told or in turn, were told. And still we wonder, what's behind it all after all, all in all pick away the moments that make up a life all that's left, empty spaces and empty words. And still we wonder,what's behind it all after all, all in all.
