We booked this place for a wedding anniversary getaway and completely love our time here. It's very well set up, is clean and tidy, and we were made to feel most welcome. The wonderful extras like the spa just outside the door, a fruit bowl, the delicious homemade spelt bread and muesli for breakfast, and info of places to go were an icing of the cake of a great time away. I'd definitely recommend a stay here!
Beth2016-08-02T00:00:00ZFantastic place to stay. Very relaxing with a lot of little extras from the hosts - warm bread on arrival, fresh cows milk and even chocolates for my husbands bday. The location is very handy for Helensville attractions and the spa is divine. Niki and Julian were super helpful and friendly without being intrusive. Thanks for a great stay!
(EMAIL HIDDEN)2016-10-24T00:00:00ZWe really liked the small touches, from the scented candle when you first arrive to the freshly baked bread for breakfast. Niki was very welcoming and I really hope to come back here again to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and relaxing spa pool. Thanks again for a wondeful stay.
Simon2016-09-25T00:00:00ZLovely place! We enjoyed the spa pool a lot. Niki even gave a complimentary chocolates for my wife's bday. Highly recommended!
JN2017-01-22T00:00:00ZIt was a wonderful stay! Niki is the greatest host you could only dream of. Very helpful and kind! Thank you :)
Yulia2016-11-05T00:00:00ZVery good hospitality and the accomodation was very confy, muesli and bread made it perfect.
Minhaz2016-09-15T00:00:00ZAmazing time in New Zealand! Niki was a fantastic hostess. LOVED her homemeade bread and raw, grass-fed milk. The room was charming and the spa on the patio was perfect. Would love to visit again and stay with her.
Ralph2016-10-01T00:00:00ZIt is a great place with great hosts. Well deserves 5 stars.

Wonderful hosts. Great breakfasts. Very comfortable room and shower room. Highly recommended.
Gill2017-01-17T00:00:00ZThe room was excellent. Comfortable bed and great unsuite. A lovely area in the country and Dean and Lola were very friendly. Would recommend!
Roger2015-12-15T00:00:00ZStaying at Lola and Dean's was a beautiful ending to our Northland road trip! My friend and I are so grateful for their warmth and hospitality. We were impressed by Lola's attention to detail in making our stay incredibly comfortable and relaxing! The breakfast was a big treat and we will carry good memories at our stay with them for quite some time :)
Chau2016-02-20T00:00:00ZEverything was fabulous: The friendly and welcoming hosts, the peaceful location, cleanliness & comfort of the room and the beautiful breakfast we received. Would definitely stay again! Thank you Lola & Dean
Olivia2016-04-04T00:00:00ZIt was very nice staying for us in this beautiful and comfortable house. Lola and Dean was pleasurable couple and we could speak with them about many interesting things. In the morning we had wonderful breakfest. Thank you very much.
Ilona2015-12-06T00:00:00ZWe really enjoyed staying with Lola & Dean. The room with ensuite was great and comfy. Exactly what we needed after a long drive. The next morning we woke up to an 5 star breakfast with home made delicious jam and fresh fruit. Thank you very much for having us!
Tim2016-03-15T00:00:00ZLovely location, nice clean house and room, great breakfast, highly recommended!
Victoria and Ewan2015-11-01T00:00:00ZI stayed at Lola and Deans country house during my visit to Kaukapakapa. Their home has a very peaceful atmosphere and has beautiful views of the green hills and landscapes. A very good country experience! The house is very neat and tidy. It always had a very cool fresh feeling. The room was large and very smart. Lola and Dean are very good, sincere, friendly and down to earth people who made me feel very comfortable during my stay. It was the first time I have used airbnb and I must say that this was a truly great experience for me and it has made me feel confident to use airbnb again. I highly recommend this peaceful country living place of Lola and Dean. They have a beautiful dog, Stella. She is very adorable and a very well mannered dog. Lola took me to a local café where they sell burgers and fries. You have got to try this. It was the healthiest and most delicious burger I ate. All farm fresh ingredients. Lola and Dean are so very professional and smart and they treat all their guests with respect and good care. They made me feel very comfortable in their home. Dean took me on a quad bike ride on the property and it was a really good experience and I enjoyed it very much. You can sit outside on the deck and enjoy the beautiful views of the green hills and read a book or enjoy a drink. You can enjoy nice walks amongst the trees and bushes. At night, you can have a really beautiful star gazing experience. If you are looking for a good place to stay to get away from the busy city life, I recommend you stay at Lola and Deans country house, you will truly enjoy it there and you will have many peaceful nights rests.

What a terrific place to stay. My wife and I were only there for one night to break our trip to the Bay of Islands from Rotorua, but it was a charming, relaxing place to stay. The house is full of character and our bedroom was light and comfortable. We had use of the kitchen and living rooms but the most enjoyable feature were the four friendly cats and the flocks of ducks and chooks roaming the property and of course the large pig who, fortunately, was confined to his sty. Sally was delightful and made us feel like part of the family.
Jonathan2016-02-24T00:00:00ZWarm welcome by sally, martin and 2 dogs made us feel immediately at home. Beautiful Edwardian villa worth seeing. If you don't like animals this is not the place for you. The cockerals cock-a-doodle-do a lot. There are also 3 cats and a few chickens. The house is near the main road and the railway track but these were not a problem. They were extremely helpful.
Dennis2015-03-05T00:00:00ZSally and her family were very welcoming and friendly! They made us feel very comfortable from the beginning and went out of their way to help us when needed. He home is beautiful and clean, in a gorgeous country setting.
Amy2015-01-30T00:00:00ZAbsolutely charming place - beautifully prepared and lovely hosts - highly recommended !!!

Peter2016-10-16T00:00:00ZFrom the moment the booking was made and throughout our stay, Owen's attention to detail made us feel appreciated and welcome. The accommodation itself is cosy, clean and comfortable, the bedrooms and bathroom luxurious. Good value for money, one of the best places to stay in Helensville.

We loved this place! Bryn and Chantel were really warm and welcoming and have a lovely home. The place was peaceful, extremely clean and tidy and had a great view from the lounge. There was an amazing breakfast spread laid out for us in the morning and the bed was very comfortable. We would definitely recommend it, everything was very thoughtful. Thank you!
danielle2016-09-23T00:00:00ZNew and modern home in rural residential subdivision. Beautiful setting. Clean and spacious. Within hour of central Auckland. Close to several small wineries just north of Auckland.
David2016-12-06T00:00:00ZVery welcoming and hospitable, large and tasty breakfast spread and happy to help with information about the area
Simon2016-11-12T00:00:00ZWe were so pleased to find this accommodation close to the Bridgewater Estate where we were attending a wedding. It is so peaceful here and Chantelle and Brynn are great hosts. The bedroom is very comfortable with its own luxurious bathroom. Breakfast was great and exactly what we like and we could eat it when we wanted as it was beautifully laid out ready for us each morning. We would definitely recommend this accommodation as it is an easy drive to nearby beaches on quiet roads. We were made very welcome. Judith and Richard
Judith2017-01-22T00:00:00ZThanks to Chanterl and Bryn for having us at their place. We felt very comfortable and beeing welcome. Everything was clean and nice and we didn't miss a little thing.

Amazing home! Sharon was very welcoming and it was a great quiet place to get away and relax. Will definitely be going back again :)
Gillian2016-10-02T00:00:00ZBeautiful location in a rural setting. Sharon and Kerry are great hosts, and their lovely pets (Cilla, Elvis, and Arthur) are so friendly. Highly recommend for an amazing stay in a peaceful setting.
Kenji2016-05-17T00:00:00ZThe flat was clean and well presented. Lovely location in a rural setting. Friendly hosts. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others.
Stephen2016-02-29T00:00:00ZMy friend and I had a wonderful weekend full of rest. We thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet (the neighbours seemed ages away!) Sharon and her family were so welcoming, they gave us advice on the best places to visit and were more than accommodating. Her communication was excellent and she made the whole process easy. Their home is beautiful and peaceful. We would definitely recommend and are already planning another trip!
Jenny2015-12-21T00:00:00ZEverything was so beautiful this cottage is the perfect place for vocations.Its so peaceful really close to nature we will definitely come again. Cheers
Karan Singh2016-06-05T00:00:00ZWe had such a great stay at Sharon's home! The accommodation was exactly as it is shown and the peace and quiet was a welcome change for our trip. Sharon and Kerry were fabulous host, super sweet, respected our privacy, and were helpful with anything we needed. We stayed for two weeks and enjoyed everyday! The wifi was flawless, loved the shower, the views were amazing, and the washer and dryer was an added bonus! It felt like we had our own home as the flat was very spacious! My twin sister and I had been in about 10 different accomodations over the past month in NZ and this one was our FAVORITE! If your looking for quiet seclusion away from the big city, Lochnorrie Lodge is the place for you! :) Thanks again Sharon and Kerry for an awesome stay!
Angelica2016-04-12T00:00:00ZAmazing experience all round. Lovely couple, lovely house, great amenities and location. Communication with Sharon was a breeze. The property is amazing. I wish we were there longer to sit back and enjoy it. Would 100% recommend to everyone.
Janine2016-02-21T00:00:00ZWe had a lovely stay with Sharon and Kerry! Their house is set in rolling countryside and so has gorgeous views and is very peaceful. You have one half of the house all to yourself and they have fitted it beautifully (in fact the photos don't do it justice!). The bedrooms are comfortable and the kitchen and bathroom are brand new. Lots of lovely extras are provided such as bread and cereal for breakfast, as well as a big pot of toiletries. Kerry was a great host too - friendly and helpful, even offering to pick us up some burgers from the best place in town! Highly recommended.

A nice secluded spot with a beautiful view, awesome pool and a great host.
Jonathan2016-10-23T00:00:00ZWe stayed in Dee's house on our way from the Northland to Auckland (it's only a 40 min drive to Auckland) and we had a fantastic time! The apartment is above the garage so you have complete privacy and lots of space. Both of the double rooms have plenty of room for your belongings and the beds are really comfortable! The kitchen and sofa area is all open plan so there's a lot of light and everything you need for your stay is provided. The apartment is also beautifully decorated with lots of little extras to make it extra homely. Dee and her family are very welcoming and happy to help and chat, with two gorgeous dogs who will want to play and say hello! Finally, the views from the apartment are a real treat and an added extra bonus. Highly recommended Air BnB!
Rachel2016-11-29T00:00:00ZSuperb stay, such a peaceful spot & perfect for a getaway. Dee was a great host, really accomodating & great with my dog who simply adored getting to play with her dogs. Really comfortable stay & would certainly look to stay again, thanks Dee.
Anna2016-11-05T00:00:00ZWe were 4 people staying in Dee's apartment for one night and it was really comfortable. Dee was very friendly and exerted that we have a nice stay at her apartment. The view was amazing! I would recommend Dee as host and her apartment!
Larry2016-12-02T00:00:00ZWe liked the expansive views and peaceful location of Dee's Airbnb. It was lovely to be greeted with the scent of fresh cut flowers in this light and airy flat; that certainly made up for the fact that it's a little worn at the edges! Dee's a welcoming host who went out of her way to try and sort out some minor problems for us. If you stay here we highly recommend visiting the Kaipara Coast Plant Centre and Sculpture Gardens nearby.
Sue2016-12-09T00:00:00ZLovely place. Lovely people. Lovely views. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Would recommend to anyone
Anthony2016-08-12T00:00:00ZGreat accommodation! The private rooms felt like a separate apartment. Perfect. Could look at the water from the living area. All around good!
Dan 2016-11-04T00:00:00ZLovely place in the country, terrific setting and stunning views. Dee was a brilliant host, very accomodating. The cottage is very tidy and well set up. Highly recommended.

Great host couple, great place, my friends loved the experience. Thanks Lola and Dean.
Gracie2016-02-11T00:00:00Zby the end of our stay at lola and dean's we felt like we were part of the family - we didnt want to leave! the breakfast was amazing - 5 star!! and lola and dean were so lovely and caring, would much rather stay here than a hotel any day!! will definitely be back again! really recommend staying here, you will not regret it! - oh and dont forget to try the KKK burger from sharks and tatties down the road, (will be the best burger you ever have)
Ben2015-10-29T00:00:00ZA wonderful place and very friendly and warmhearted hosts. Lola and Dean offer a nice furnished room with an excellent bathroom.
Jörg2015-11-11T00:00:00ZThis was one of our best Airbnb experiences we've ever had. Lola & Dean are very friendly, welcoming and their house is beautiful & clean! Our room was big, with an ensuite bathroom. The breakfast (like in a 5-star hotel) and the outdoor whirlpool (with an amazing view) were outstanding!
Jana2015-12-13T00:00:00ZA beautiful and calm country abode. Lolo and Dean were great hosts. Would recommend and stay again.
Daniel2016-02-21T00:00:00ZVery clean house in a beautiful environment. Very peaceful and quiet with a good bed, own shower and toilet. The rest of the house is a little short of privacy sometimes.
Kristel2015-11-19T00:00:00ZLola and Dean were most welcoming and went out of their way to make us feel at home. An oasis out in the country in their beautiful home. Lovely wholesome breakfast. Wished we could have stayed longer.
Ita2016-02-03T00:00:00ZWe loved our overnight stay with Lola and Dean. They are incredibly warm, welcoming hosts who are fun and are eager to share information about the area. The bedroom and ensuite were immaculately clean and tastefully decorated. We felt right at home. In the morning were impressed by the lovely continental breakfast. Thank You!

Absolutely awesome stay!! Larraine provides a very personal warm and cosy place to call home away from home. We loved the personalised tour of the property....Thank you. It was lovely to meet and be introduced to all your resident family.... We loved the bubbling hot spa and super comfy beds. Amazing value!!
Janelle2015-09-29T00:00:00ZJust Magic it so nice to have the whole cottage to ourselves, your not just stuck in a room. we were left to our devices, fresh produce with peace and fresh air
Vera2016-02-07T00:00:00ZGreat place to relax and unwind.
Stephen 2017-01-23T00:00:00ZWonderful cottage and very comfortable bed. Lorraine had the heating on which was so welcoming as it was a very cold and wet day. Everything spotlessly clean.
Jane2015-08-25T00:00:00ZRuishton Cottage is peaceful getaway located along a country road. The cottage was clean & warm. Larraine & Ross were welcoming hosts & had the cottage was ready for us when we arrived early evening. The hot tub located on the deck off the lounge was a plus factor, being able to soak while looking at the stars or at sheep grazing in the neighbouring paddock was fabulous. While staying at the cottage we drove to Shelly Beach which was a good place to explore & have a bite to eat. We also enjoyed exploring the Kaipara Coast Sculpture Garden & plant centre where the staff were friendly & helpful & also provided a hearty lunch. We reluctantly returned to the city after the weekend refreshed & relaxed. Thanks Larraine & Ross for hosting us.
Fi2015-09-06T00:00:00ZLarraine was so helpful. This was a last minute trip and she was really quick with communicating, and also helpfully offered to put an extra little bed into the room, so that my son and his 2 friends could all be together (which was so thoughtful of her). The place was beautifully, clean, the beds comfy, the towels fluffy - and there was a lovely shower. The spa was excellent too, and the boys loved the way you could change the colour of the lights in the water.
Fiona2017-01-26T00:00:00ZLarraine and Ross were great hosts. The cottage is delightfully appointed and the rooms very comfortably set up. the hot tub was a treat after a day of orienteering in the region. Larraine and Ross have dogs but they were very quiet - in fact never heard them bark except once when we first arrived. Not a problem at all. Larraine and Ross respected our privacy but were also there to offer help when we needed it. The slow combustion log fire is a treat in winter - warms the cottage through fully. We will be back!

Guest blog: photographing snow leopards in the Himalayas by Craig Jones
Kingdom | Animalia |
Phylum | Mollusca |
Class | Gastropoda |
Order | Neotaenioglossa |
Family | Pleuroceridae |
Genus | Lithasia (1) |
The Shawnee rocksnail (Lithasia obovata) is a member of the Pleuroceridae family of molluscs, which vary in colour from pale yellow to dark brown or black. Members of this family have solid, right-facing shells with the mantle opening facing towards the rear. The spiral operculum, which is the horny or calcareous plate that is attached to the foot and is used to close off the shell when the soft parts of the body are retracted, is typically not circular in shape. The Shawnee rocksnail's eyes are located on the outer sides of the bases of the tentacles (2).
As in other Lithasia species, female Shawnee rocksnails are typically larger than males. Males of this species do not have external sex organs, and the female lays its eggs through a special egg-laying sinus found on the right-hand-side of the foot (2).
There is little information available on the biology and ecology of the Shawnee rocksnail. However, it is known to be a freshwater (1) benthic species (3) which breathes through gills (2). As with other members of the Pleuroceridae family, the Shawnee rocksnail is thought to be a feeding generalist (2), consuming detritus and other organic material scraped from a variety of substrates (2) (6). This species is believed to have a lifespan of about ten years (2).
A freshwater mollusc (1), the Shawnee rocksnail is a benthic species found in big rivers (3) and streams (2) where it is restricted to isolated, shallow, rocky habitats (2) (3) (4). This species has a relatively large 'foot' which is an adaptation to life in shallow areas and enables it to survive wave action (5).
The Shawnee rocksnail has yet to be assessed on the IUCN Red List.
The Shawnee rocksnail is thought to be globally secure and is not considered to be threatened with extinction, as it has a wide distribution and a presumed large population. However, this species is classified as Critically Imperiled in Illinois and as Vulnerable in Pennsylvania (3). It is believed that threatened populations are at risk as a result of the Shawnee rocksnail's affinity for isolated, shallow habitats and its inability to travel to deeper dispersal pathways (2) (4). The Shawnee rocksnail is also sensitive to cold temperatures, meaning that it is less capable of colonising new habitats (4). In addition, the colonisation of the invasive zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) poses a threat to the Shawnee rocksnail (2).
There are currently no known conservation measures in place for the Shawnee rocksnail.

Vortex Point 8
The gang needs to perform an exorcism in an abandoned lighthouse. Care to join?
4.12 / 5.00 5,737 ViewsJuggle gears to get as many points as possible!
IMPORTANT: The difficulty increases every 5 levels. Levels 1-5 are a bit boring and are meant for people to get used to the controls. It gets interesting from level 6 and challenging from level 11.
How to play:
Bounce the gears with the help of the paddle. The paddle has 4 numbers on it, while the falling gears have numbers composed out of the ones on the paddle. If the number on the paddle divides the one on the gear, the gear gets smaller and you earn points; if the gear falls, you lose energy. Once the energy reaches 0, it's Game Over. When a gear reaches 1, and cannot longer be divided, you can safely let it go.
The paddle is controlled by the mouse, while the numbers on it can be rotated by clicking on the mouse, using the 'left' and 'right' keys, or selected directly by pressing the numbers '1' through '4'.
Keys 'P' and 'Esc' can be used to pause the game, 'Q' to change the quality and 'M' to mute the sounds.
Thanks for the daily 2nd and frontpage! Also, thanks a lot for the reviews!
The first five levels
As you said are boring and meant to be a tutorial.
This should really be a seperate part of the game, optional.
It's really annoying to have to go through the first five levels again in order to get to the exciting part.
Not bad
It was a good game, quite amusing, took thought but not too much thought. The colors made it easier. My main problem was I kept moving my mouse off screen accidentally. Perhaps make it so you can move the paddle by using left and right arrow keys. Also I noticed several times I hit 25 with 5, and instead of properly dividing down to 5 it automatically went to 1. Over all, 3/5 8/10. GG.
nice game
awesome game...its like one of those stupid
boring paddle ball game thingys but with a little catch
good but...
Great idea, looks great, nice music..... my one issue is that the mouse easily moves off screen, so in the later levels suddenly moving can cause you to lose a chunk of your energy due to dropping gears..... it happened to me quite a bit anyway

Tuesday, March 10, 1998 Published at 14:52 GMT World: Africa Jubilant homecoming for Sierra Leone president Ahmed Tejan Kabbah has spent 10 months in exile
The elected president of Sierra Leone, Ahmad Tejan Kabbah, has returned home -
ten months after he was forced into exile by a military coup.
He was met at the airport by members of the West African intervention force (ECOMOG) which
helped restore his government to power. Mr Kabbah had been living in
neighbouring Guinea since junior army officers seized power from him last May.
A BBC correspondent in Freetown say the speeches welcoming President Kabbah home evoked a new democratic start for Sierra Leone.
However, the correspondent says the
challenges ahead are huge. Sierra Leone is one of the poorest countries in the
world and the democratic experiment is fragile.
He says Tejan Kabbah is mainly popular
because of the democracy he symbolises rather than his political skills. The president
may have an uphill task controlling the sometimes ruthless politicians of
Sierra Leone.
Thousands of civil servants gathered outside government offices for pay cheques - their first in months - promised on Monday.
The BBC West Africa correspondent, who's in
Freetown, says that while President Kabbah may have his critics, the ousted
military regime was deeply unpopular.
In advance of the president's arrival, Freetown was surrounded with troops as a precautionary measure.
President Kabbah's victory in Sierra Leone's last multi-party elections three years ago ended four years of army rule.
Country remains unstable
Last May, a military junta led by Colonel Johnny Paul Koroma seized Freetown and President Kabbah was forced to flee the country.
ECOMOG was initially sent to police UN and ECOWAS economic sanctions against the military government.
The Nigerian-led forces, operating as a West African coalition army, have all but ousted the rebel forces from Sierra Leone's towns.
Its troops have announced the capture of the strategic military base of Daru, 270km (170 miles) east of Freetown, from forces loyal to the military junta ousted in February.
Kailahun, a city in the northeastern corner of the country, is believed to be the last remaining outpost of rebel control.
Conflict and insecurity in Sierra Leone since 1991 have killed an estimated 30,000 people and wrecked the country's economy, which relies on diamonds and other minerals.
Rebel leader vows to fight on
A commander of rebel forces in Sierra Leone has vowed to continue fighting against the ECOMOG intervention force.
Colonel Sam Bokari, who commands the Revolutionary United Front, dismissed reports that RUF forces were fighting their allies - troops of Colonel Johnny Paul Koroma's ousted military government - to prevent their surrender to ECOMOG.
Colonel Bokari, who spoke to the BBC on a mobile phone from an undisclosed location, said that he was in command of both components of the rebel forces.

Collaborators/Experts Reviews
The first time I heard the debut album from Xerath, I, not only was I extremely impressed by the music, I was in complete shock that this is a debut album. These musicians have next to no experience in other bands, but everything about this album sounds like it was made by extreme metal veterans. The production is fantastic, the musicians are incredible, the songwriting is solid, and the music is unique and enjoyable. Although, like all debuts, there are a few flaws, judging by the sheer quality of this release, I'm sure Xerath will fix it sooner rather than later.
The sound on I is pretty unique. There is a heavy Meshuggah flavor here, but much more melodic. Another unique thing about Xerath is that all of the songs are pretty heavily orchestrated, something you don't find too often in extreme metal. There is also definite progressive metal and power metal influences, but most of the "progressiveness" lies in the orchestrations. The band often calls themselves "orchestral groove metal", and I think that's a pretty accurate description for the Xerath newcomer. If you like metal with heavy symphonic orchestrations, and can handle extreme metal vocals, this album should be right up your alley.
I is a 10-track, 39:31 album. Even though I often complain about extreme metal albums for being too long (over 40-45 minutes), I honestly wish there were more material here. I'm sure Xerath could've pulled off an hour album with ease. This album is incredibly consistent, and all of the songs are absolutely awesome. My favorites are the opening Intrenity, Reform, Part I, Reform, Part II, Right to Exist and Nocturnum. All of the songs are fantastic, though. You could criticize Xerath for having the whole album played in a similar style with no real variation, but it's not a big problem for me. I love their style, and there's enough tempo and mood variations to keep me interested. Not to mention the tracks are absolutely headbanging-worthy.
As mentioned, the musicians are absolutely fantastic, and it's hard to believe that this is their debut album. Michael Pitman especially deserves a round of applause. That guy's an absolute monster on the drums. I have no complaints with any of the other members, as they are all great. I wish there would have been a bit more vocal variation (e.g. clean vocals), but they're fine the way they are. I do love when the operatic vocals occasionally pop up, though. They really add some great variation.
The production is fantastic. It's clean, heavy, and powerful, while still paying attention to small details in the orchestrations. It was mixed by Brett Caldas-Lima, so the fantastic sound doesn't really come as a surprise.
I is a truly superb debut by Xerath, and one of the best extreme metal debuts to come out in 2009. Despite a few small flaws (lack of variation, the album's too short), this is a fantastic release that I will strongly recommend to anyone even slightly interested in extreme prog metal. A 4 star rating is deserved for this great album.
Held as one of the most acclaimed metal debuts in 2009, Xerath comes onto the scene with a fairly exciting sound. Although the djent, Meshuggah-laden sound that Xerath plays was already well trodden by the time this album was released, Xerath adds something new and exciting to it; an orchestral, symphonic backing. It comes as no surprise then, that Xerath holds a very epic sound to them. Xerath has a very professional sound to them, even this early on, and while I found myself very disappointed by their sophomore, Xerath shows alot of potential with this impressive first album.
When describing their sound, I hear the powerful chugging grooves of bands like Gojira and Meshuggah, along with the thrashy grandeur of Strapping Young Lad. On top of that, there is this orchestral sound that follows the metal instruments throughout this album, adding plenty of depth to the sound, although it rarely ever takes a forefront in Xerath's music. Speaking of the band's metal sound, it is heavy and oftimes technical, with plenty of chuggy riffs to make up the meat of the band's sound. The vocals here are growled and screamed, like a less melodic Joe Duplantier (of Gojira). The riffs and instrumentation are focused more on rhythm than melody, although the orchestral element adds a slightly more melodic and harmonious edge. True enough, there are plenty of riffs here that get my head banging, although overall, I find that there could have been some extra melodies or more memorable moments around the album to grasp onto. As it stands, Xerath's 'I' sounds more or less the same all throughout, with the obvious 'Interlude' exception being composed only of the symphonic element.
As far as orchestral sounds go in metal, much of it does pass me as being a gimmick, attempting to get the depth of a symphony, without the effort of a complex arrangement. I experienced that disappointment on the band's second album 'II', but in retrospect, 'I' actually has some very complimentary orchestral elements. It would be somewhat boring without the metal elements, but there is an authentic sound to the symphonic elements, and they have a great effect for the atmosphere. Taking Xerath's music from the orchestral angle, it sounds alot like the incidental music for some science fiction epic soundtrack.
Xerath has made a very professional sounding album here, and at a perfect length for this sort of music, it never gets boring. I would have liked some more variety and a sense of surprise in music like this, as Xerath never changes lanes from the first song to last. They do however have a great grasp of their style on this album, and clever enough to bring something new to the table, this is a band that stands on their own two feet in the crowded djent community.
SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Retired Admin
I is like the culmination of all the good things of extreme metal. Xerath takes the pure rage of Meshuggah, mixes it with the groove of Gojira, the distorted melodic density of Devin Townsend, and adds an orchestra to boot. The entire album is packed with mind-numbing riffs and head-trashing grooves, and the melodic orchestration of the guitars, the orchestral samples, and the subtly melodic screams is excellent. The production is polished, well mixed, and well-presented, and the band is unashamed to show their full power even in their debut.
The album presents little variation in terms of structure, but the band seems to have perfected the form they present their album in. While over the 40 minute album the sample-riff-vocal-riff- sample structure is worn thin, it's a relentlessly practiced and well-executed approach to extreme metal. The band functions as a well-oiled machine, coming in and out of riffs without any awkward moments. The songs are short, to their benefit, and the band packs material into their songs.
Even though I first heard this album five years ago when it came out and the band has since released a follow up (cleverly titled II), I'm still always excited when I see new material or announcements released by this band. The band, even in two albums, have shown they are a very mature and serious band in the extreme metal scene. They have a unique sound and are not afraid to shove it in the listeners face to the best effect possible. It's been three years since they released their follow up, and I seriously hope they release something new soon! 4 stars.
SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Honorary Collaborator
The band play a heavily orchestrated extreme metal style. The extreme metal part of their sound is influenced by the likes of Meshuggah and Strapping Young Lad. Especially chugging groove based angular riffing play a big part on the album. Xerath are no one-trick pony though and the music features influences from all sorts of other artists and musical styles too. Sometimes bordering progressive metal. The classically inspired synth/keyboards work is very impressive and are well integrated with the other parts of the music. Lead vocalist Richard Thomson is quite the asset to the band´s sound. He is a very skilled extreme metal vocalist able to sing in quite a few different styles. The rest of the band are very well playing too.
...the most important thing though is that the music is really powerful and punchy. The symphonic element doesn´t take away any heaviness and just gives the music a slight polished edge and not a power stealing one. The sound production definitely deserves a mention too for helping to achieve this.
Despite the obvious influences heard in the music I´d actually call the music on "I" pretty original or at least inventive and adventurous. It´s not easy to combine heavy riffing and symphonic synths/keyboards and come away successful, but Xerath manage to do just that on "I" and a 4 star (80%) rating is deserved.

Dr. Sebastian Gorka appeared on "Fox & Friends Weekend" this morning to share insight on what these picks tell us about the direction of our country, particularly when it comes to national security.
Gorka said that anyone who voted for Trump because they have concerns about terrorism, border security and radical Islam can "rest easy."
"The grownups are in charge," Gorka said. "The adults are back in the White House in the cabinet."
He explained that Flynn is an extremely experienced general and a true "soldier's soldier," Sessions is a leading proponent of tough immigration enforcement policies, and Pompeo has an amazing resume, graduating first in his class at West Point, editing the Harvard Law Review and serving on the House Intelligence Committee.

By DPA,
Tel Aviv : Israel launched its latest spy satellite as Tel Aviv, along with many other world governments, is wary of Iran's nuclear programme and its "belligerence" toward the Jewish state, a newspaper said here Wednesay.
The satellite, dubbed Ofek 9, was launched on board a booster rocket Tuesday night from the Palmachim airbase, 10 km south of Tel Aviv, the Jerusalem Post said.
From its low Earth orbit at an altitude of around 600 km, the 300-kg satellite is to join its precursor Ofek 7.
"This provides Israel with greater operational flexibility since we now have another set of eyes on a target," Chaim Eshed, director of space programming at the Defence Ministry's Research and Development Directorate, was quoted as saying.
