- ABOMINANT-*Ungodly* (Deathgasm)-These guys rule! A combination of dark metal, black metal, thrash metal, death metal, and classic metal swirled into one big, heavy monster of a CD. In the Midwest, this Louisville, KY quintet reign supreme in the death metal world. 'Dawn of Despair', 'On Death's Wings' , and 'The Dark Mystery' are but three of the classic death gems on this 8-song epic that is highly recommended for all fans of metal. And if you get the chance, catch the intensity live. Get a copy of *Ungodly* immediately by contacting Deathgasm Records, P.O. Box 681415, Marietta GA 30068-Chris Lee

- CHILDREN OF BODOM-*Follow the Reaper* (Nuclear Blast)-The new one from CHILDREN OF BODOM contains more of the progressive meets thrash meets melodic death meets power metal riffing that orginally turned me on to this band. A little more thrash influenced this time around with less melodic riffs, CHILDREN OF BODOM continue to showcase an unbelievable technical prowess on their instruments displaying some of the best guitar/keyboard harmony runs this side of YNGWIE MALMSTEEN's stuff. And the cover of the WASP song 'Hellion' is one of the best cover versions of a song I have heard in awhile. This is an album that has been in my CD player constantly since I got it and is one of the best releases of 2001. Nuclear Blast, 1453-A 14th Street #324, Santa Monica CA 90404 USA - Chris Lee
