Artist: 8th Sin 
   Title: Angelseed & Demonmilk
   Label: Black Lodge Records

Angelseed and Demonmilk is a real mixed bag of an album. It mixes traditional metal with both industrial and synth music. The resulting album has to be one of the strangest metal albums I've heard this year.

Surprising as it may sound, but the mixes of the three different musical styles has a strangely hypnotic effect on the listener.  It really makes you wonder what the next track has in store. As each track unfolds you can feel yourself being dragged in to this strange world of vocalist and founding member IT.

The album opener, and nominee for song title of the year, 'A Sleepover At The Feeling Of Death' starts of as a traditional metal track with heavy bass and drums, then the techno side of the band steps in to completely throw you off balance.

'Lairs' is more of the same, but this time you know what to expect and this is when you start to feel yourself being taking over.

The album continues in the same vein throughout. Some of the highlights on the album have to be the mind-blowing 'Templo Mayor', and the title track 'Angelseed & Demonmilk'.

The album is like nothing I've heard before and probably won't ever again. But, if you want to hear something completely different, then check this album out, you'll be as surprised I was for sure.
