Amorphis�99 �Tuonela� � one of the most interesting Finish groups released it�s new album. As for me it�s a little weaker their previous album �Elegy�, but it�s all the same interesting. It continue the theme of the Finish folks and legends. And from the music point of view there are some influences of American Grange, somewhere Death and the folk music as well. As for me the group made a great step in it�s development from their first album �The Karelian Ithmus� to their late releases.

Mercyful Fate�99 �9� � The new release from the Danish group �Mercyful Fate� with King Diamond at the head. This man works hard as a leader of 2 groups. As for me this release is weaker than the previous album �Dead Again� and much weaker the first albums of this group. The songs are rather flat and there is no expression as at the previous albums.

Gamma Ray�99 �Powerplant� � Those German guys really can not reach the level of their �95 album �Land Of The Free�. The album is not bad, but it doesn�t looks new, no new ideas (except may be the cover-version of Pet Shop Boys�s song �It�s A Sin�). May be for those who didn�t know Gamma Ray before it would sound great, but for the old Gamma Ray�s and Kai Hansen�s fans� I really not sure.

Therion�99 �The Crowning Of Atlantis� � This Swedish band with Christopher Johnsson at the head is on it�s repertoire again. After �A�arab Zaraq Lucid Dreaming� which was the collection of the older things of Therion and other groups cover-versions, this album brings the similar contents. But not in all. The compilation of songs of the absolutely different stile such as �To Mega Therion� with orchestral arrangement and vocals and �Crazy Nights� with Ralf Sheepers (Ex-Gamma Ray) on vocals makes to think that it�s absolutely different bands. But it� Therion, it�s Christopher Johnsson!

Children Of Bodom�99 �Hatebreeder� � This Finish group is really great! Roaring vocals with classical, thrash, punk, death influences in music sounds really cool! As for me this album a little weaker than their debut album �Something Wild�, but I suppose the most great albums would be released!

In Flames�99 �Colony� � This Swedish group produced not the best album, but it�s rather good. As for me their best releases were �Jester Race� and �Whoracle�. This one sometimes looks like their first album �Lunar Strain� but weaker. The flat contents with nothing really new.
