Exitus - Statutum est Hominibus Mori

Exitus was a cult Finnish doom band from the early 90's, with only one demo to their name. It consists of two songs, both right around the seven minute mark, that mostly follow the epic doom style with some faster, thrashy sections. Apparently they were fairly influential in the Finnish scene (Reverend Bizarre names them in the role call in "Goddess of Doom"). It's a quality release with good production, and a nice collectible for doomsters that want to increase their metal penis. The title is a Bible reference - something about man dying but once. I think it's meant to emphasize the futility of life when taken as a phrase. Doom bands love that Christian theme.

Griffin - Flight of the Griffin

Griffin is a pretty unknown American power metal band. This debut album was released in the mid-80's, right about on target for its sound. There's really nothing all that groundbreaking about it, but it's an enjoyable release for people who like good riffs, kickin' solos and SCREEEEEEEEEAMS. If you like USPM, you will like this album. Simple as that.
