HAIDUK " Plagueswept "
( Self - released ) 2010.
CD
Death metal - CANADA

Haiduk is a newly-created solo project Of Luka Miloica. He started out in 2009, and during the January 2010, he has released a self-produced Demo album, entitled " Plagueswept". With 8 tracks and 30 minutes of music, Haiduc deliver a specific vision of atmospheric and raw death metal. An interesting arrangments circulate around present songs. Some of tracks has expandier instrumental lines, some are little more vocally orientired. Haiduk has also offered in some parts of his Demo something of doomy views, and black metal ambiental traces are present too. Even that black metal as a genre isn't his main oriantation, many symbolical associations exsists in his songs. I would mention a 3rd track - " Dark Forces Path" as a song with many structural complexivities, and on the other hand, in my opinion this is also a representative part from " Plagueswept " issue. " Plagueswept" is in the process of promotional activities, and hope that presentation of Haiduk's works will come in right hands and ears.

ROBBIE DUCEY BAND " Judgment Day "
( River City Records ) 2010.
CD
Blues/rock/boogie - USA

Out of Augusta Georgia comes a trio, lead by guitarist and author Robbie Ducey. Robbie and his mates from band - Mark Jones - bassist and vocalist, and drummer Jim Bender are well-experienced musician and performers, and they follows up a so-call tradition of 70's succesfull trios. Basically, band combines elements of blues/rock and boogie with soul and funk touches, fullfield with southern emotionals. Robbie is a composer of band's songs, but one evidental 70's psychology, and what is more important realization, circulate around its performing offering. As a certain performers, its music posses clear rhythmization, where playing energy defines wantings and capabilities. Some comparabilities leads to Stevie Ray Vaughn, and I would mention also to the one of Robbie's influental person - Robin Trower. But, a group with more or less efforts finds own way to introduce its attitudes. " Jugment Day" comphrises a well-produced materials, probably better accaptable in concert forms.
