Mario's Metal Mania Review: Perseverance 2013
http://www.mariosmetalmania.com/CDDVDreviews.html
Another Metal Over Oostrozebeke compilation cd, which is a collaboration between M.O.O. organisation and Malevolence Records. This brings us some songs of the bands that played there at the festival in 2012. First up is Mad At Sam with their song 'D.C.'(Districts of Criminals), which is a cool crossover/thrash metal track in the M.O.D. style. Next up is Aegror with 2 songs, which is a more darker kind of metal, 'Behind Walls' and 'Prophecy' sound really heavy, bit more doomy almost, but really refreshing. Sanity's Rage is up next with also 2 ripping tracks of melodic thrash metal, really great stuff this is. 'Once You Cross' and 'Taste Of Decay' do taste good, and wanna make me hear more of this great band! T.C.F. or ThrashCoreFanatics are next with only 1 song, 'Mean Machine' which is fast and mean, but sound quality is a bit less on this song, which was originally done by Motorhead, although they did a somewhat slower version. Leave Scars brings us 'The Arrival' and 'Trapped', and is more traditional US metal, not bad at all, although production could have been a little better, but the quality of the band comes through, interesting band. Ulysses Siren delivers 'Justifiable Homicide' old school bay area thrash metal, really cool to hear this great band again. KAOS up next with 'Blood Red Eyes', great thrash metal attack from yet another great band. This song appears on their Validated in Blood EP, also reviewed on this site. Last band on here is our own X-tinXion with their song 'The Divine', really refreshing with the grunts and clean vocals of Monica, does almost sound like The Agonist, great metal band from the Netherlands to final this album.

Infernal Masqerade Review
http://www.infernalmasquerade.com/?q=reviews/002587-metal-over-oostrozebeke-presents-%E2%80%93-perseverance-2013-2013
Arriving via Malevolence Records, today we have a very diverse sampler that contains everything from Thrash Metal to Melodic Death/Black Metal and related genres. Featuring eight different bands, this release makes for a very interesting time, with very contrasting changes between bands and some excellent tracks mixed in between some sub-par ones.
Opening we have Mad At Sam, a Thrash/Crossover band that can easily go unnoticed with their track being less than two minutes long. The drastic contrast is immediately felt with Aegror and their very enjoyable Melodic Death/Black Metal that fusing influences from Carcass, Grave, and several other bands into a very cohesive and engaging sound. “Behind Walls” and “Prophecy” are taking from their 2013 EP, a release we will be trying to find as soon as we are done writing this review.
With Thrash Metal being the specialty of the day for Malevolence Records, we finally find our first good dosage of Thrash with Sanity’s Rage and their two excellent tracks: “Once You Cross” and “Taste of Decay”. This Belgian band delivers intense riff-drive Thrash Metal with a certain Edge/Dark Angel/Testament edge that is quite enjoyable and well executed. More Thrash/Crossover is on our way with T.C.F, a track that lacks recording quality and sounds very dismal when compared to the previous and following songs.
Leave Scars comes at us with another solid dosage of Thrash Metal with a an old-school vibe reminding us of Death Angel. The two tracks presented here feature solid riffing and very fitting vocals, all wrapped up nicely with tight drumming. Saving the best for last (almost) we have Ulysses Siren and their latest single: “Justifiable Homicide”. Keeping their furious riffing power intact, the band does a very good job in keeping it real with their on-your-face Thrash Metal.
The best track in this sampler comes from the label’s strongest artist: Kaos. With a relentless Thrash Metal that mixes the old-school grit with a modern sound, “Blood Red Eyes” is by far the catchiest and best executed track in the whole release. Closing the release we have X-Tinxion with a very powerful Female vocalist that at times sounds like Schmier from Destruction fame. The mixed in growls and melodic nature of the track make it different than previous songs, and a very worthy closer for such a diverse release.
In general, this sampler has plenty of solid moments with very good bands like Kaos, Aegror, Ulysses Siren, and X-Tinxion. The crossover bands really have no business being here, and they greatly contrast the flow of this release. If you can pick up a copy of this sampler, do so, since it has a lot of classical sounding Thrash Metal with a few weird (and good) diverse tracks here and there.
