The third EP by the cult Japanese Thrash Metal band.
Japanese Thrashers Riverge undoubtedly love to Thrash and preferably the old-school way, to be accurate. It's quite unbelievable when you realize Riverge formed way back in 1985. They released a couple of cassette demos and appeared on a few compilations then went dark for 20 years until their first proper album, "Rebirth Of Skull", was rele ased in 2009.
Another full-length and a split brings up to their most recent release, 2013's 7-track EP titled "Back'Th'Rash". Riverge's stuff sounds like S.O.D. meets Slayer. Their Thrash comes across fast and furious, a crisp, heavy, violent attack and, best of it all, it also sounds amazingly well done. Riverge's vocalist Shoji Nakamura has a vocal tone that is similar to Tom Araya in his later years (no high-pitched screams or anything like that).
Original “Back'Th'Rash” features re-recorded materials of 1987 original 7" EP "Do A Threat For Eye" plus first time recording of '80s written song, as well as two new tracks.

The ninth full-length album by the legendary Melodic Hard Rock/AOR singer.
Robin Beck is full of surprises with her new album "Underneath". She allowed for some new writers to submit material to her this time. It was a great decision on her part, because she was “blown away” by what she found. This combination seems to be doing quite well for this Rock and Roll woman.
This album can also be considered somewhat of a family affair. Her husband and daughter also are a part of this album. Her husband, James Christian, is producing this album and duets with her on “Burnin’ Me Down.” Her daughter, Liv Beck, also does some vocal work on this album. They seem to be a musical family, and that works in Robin Beck’s favor. This album is definitely going to make an impact for female musicians everywhere, because of the prominent female voice that keeps staying alive in Rock music today.
Each song packs a punch of good vocal range and music that follows the lead. The album starts with “Wrecking Ball” and the title does the song justice. There is a riff that starts the track off with a build of energy. There is definitely a foot-tapping pattern that quickly develops with this album.
Outbursts of finger drumming are something that is a must when listening to this album. There are songs that really make typical anthems seem humdrum. Many of the songs have a call to action type of feel, so they evoke oomph immediately. “Sprain” is a great example of an action-bringing song.
Some of these songs have a bit of a Country meets Rock feeling, but that isn’t a bad thing. It works well for this album. The ’80s can be heard in her voice and the guitar riffs as well, but it seems to work. There is a unique sound with her voice that doesn’t sound like every other angry female-fronted band on the radio. There are a variety of sounds to look forward to on this album. “I Swear the Nights” is soulful and sultry, but it keeps the Rock factor easily. It works so well and sounds so right.
The collaboration that takes place on this album was an amazing decision on Beck’s part. The music, the vocals, and the lyrics work so well with each other. This album has not dull moments and is refreshing in a summer riddled with breakup songs and furious female vocalists!

The 24rd British and 26th American full-length studio album by legendary British Rock band.
Band's first studio album in over a decade, "Blue & Lonesome" takes the band back to their roots and the passion for Blues music, which has always been at the heart and soul of The Rolling Stones. "Blue & Lonesome" sees the Rolling Stones tipping their hats to their early days as a Blues band when they played the music of Jimmy Reed, Willie Dixon, Eddie Taylor, Little Walter and Howlin’ Wolf – artists whose songs are featured on this album.
The Blues is where it all began for Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, especially Chicago Blues. When Jagger and Richards began their friendship anew, they had run into each other on a train, Jagger carrying a Chess Records album of Muddy Waters and Chuck Berry. And yes, they and the rest of the lads would later discover the magnificence and wonder that is Robert Johnson‘s legacy of brilliance and beauty, but Chicago Blues has ever held sway in their hearts.
The album was produced by Don Was and The Glimmer Twins and was recorded over the course of just three days in December 2015 at British Grove Studios in West London, just a stone’s throw from Richmond and Eel Pie Island where the Stones started out as a young Blues band playing pubs and clubs. Their approach to the album was that it should be spontaneous and played live in the studio without overdubs. The band – Mick Jagger (vocals & harp), Keith Richards (guitar), Charlie Watts (drums), and Ronnie Wood (guitar) were joined by their long time touring sidemen Darryl Jones (bass), Chuck Leavell (keyboards) and Matt Clifford (keyboards) and, for two of the twelve tracks, by old friend Eric Clapton, who happened to be in the next studio making his own album.
This album is manifest testament to the purity of their love for making music, and the Blues is, for the Stones, the fountainhead of everything they do! Those that are about Chicago Blues, need not hesitate. This album is calling you!! Those who wondered when the Stones would record an album worthy of themselves, wonder no more. "Blue & Lonesome" belongs on every Chicago Blues and Rolling Stones lover!!!

Re-release of the seventh full-length studio album by cult Czech Epic Heavy/Black Metal band.
The seventh album from cult gods Root is a bit of a step back, but after the incredible "Black Seal" anybody would be hard pressed to come up with an equally amazing CD. Root have been following killer album after killer album. And if we can say this album is not quite as good as albums like "The Book" or "The Temple In The Underworld", this is still a great album.
Root is one of those bands that don't sound like anyone else, because they are not followers of a sound, but originators. There are elements of Doom, Thrash, early Black Metal like Bathory, Progressive Rock, Atmospheric music, and ever swing. This album is a lot less Metal than previous albums, but still stomps most modern bands' asses like they were smurfs, and it only sounds less heavy in comparison with the bonecrushing "Temple In The Underworld". The melodies are a lot more accessible on this disc, and Big Boss has flavored his vocal lines with swing and big band influences.
This album is the most weird and eclectic Root material to date, and it travels from Doomy riffs to Thrashy, to Atmospheric interludes and delicate melodies. In some places, the melodies don't seem to quite work, even in the context of Root's already twisted soundscape.
So, this is another fine Root CD. The performances are spot on, and some of the songs are excellent, but here Root seem to have gotten a little too weird for their own good. All that aside, this is still a very good album, and it only pales in comparison to their other material. A worthy album from a singular and iconoclastic band!!

Debut full-length album by Alternative Thrash/Death Metal band from Italy.
10 tracks of disarming & melodic aggression, mixing Death Metal, Crossover and Psychedelic moments.
Powerful, surrounding guitars, acoustic intermezzos, dynamic and precise bass, devastating drums, intense keyboards and a voice that changes from a dirty growl to something cleaner begin to be the trademarks of the band. Consider it a sonorous seeks inspired by bands like Pantera, System Of A Down, Fear Factory, Hypocrisy, Morbid Angel and Mastodon.

Second full-length album by guitarist Ross "the Boss" Friedman (ex- Manowar) and his German Heavy/Power Metal band.
Following 2008's debut "New Metal Leader", the second album by former Manowar guitarist Ross the Boss Friedman, offers another thundering dose of Power Metal of more or less the same type his former bandmates used to make, minus the pompous epics that have clogged their latter-day (i.e. after he quit the band) work. This shouldn't come as a surprise, since the band he's using (vocalist/guitarist Patrick Fuchs, bassist Carsten Kettering, and drummer Matthias Mayer) were a Manowar cover band in their native Germany before being recruited to back him at a festival. So they've got the anthemic, screaming-guitars sound down to a T, and Ross' brutarian, Rock-informed leads (which gave Manowar's first six albums a bite that their later albums, which stole more from classical music, lacked) cut through everything like a pavement saw.
This is fist-pumping Metal, with catchy choruses, high-pitched screams, and thunderous drumming, and the lightning-speed riffing of the title track is proto-Thrash not unlike Accept's "Fast as a Shark" or early-'80s Judas Priest at their most hell-for-leather! Old-school Metal fans will find much to love here, and younger listeners could learn a lot about the genre's roots, and its true heart, from Ross the Boss and band!!

The second full-length album by russian Folk/Thrash/Black Metal band.
Melodic Black Metal with some Death Metal elements, from members of Russian bands Arkona, Mental Home and label cheaf of More Hate Productions! Rossomahaar started back in 1995 to prove to the whole world that Russia is capable of giving birth to Black Metal bands. In 1997 they released their first full-length album "Grotesque" on MC, by R.I.P. Productions.
The compositions in “Imperium Tenebrarum” all are well thought-through and structured. The guitars in this album are good and has catchy riffs. There are a few Heavy Metal riffs in there. The keyboards are cute and give a nice atmosphere. The drummer knows what he is hitting there on his drumset. The bass is great! The vocals is typical Black Metal vocals with no variations (except for one or two parts where Lazar does some clean vocals).
The cover-version of Metallica's "The Call Of Ktulu" presented here with band's own lyrics, and here and there a slightly more free interpretation. This song is called "Portals Of Chaos (The Final Transmigration)".
Grim and symphonic, heavy and melodic, this is an album that musically could just as well have come from Norway and which should satisfy every fan of Melodic Black Metal! If you're a Black Metal fan go buy their album, you'll like it!!

The second full-length studio album by legendary Greek Black/Death Metal band.
One of the most seminal albums in Black Metal history, "Non Serviam" became the blueprint for the Greeks’ now-iconic sound. The album has a characteristic sound of the Storm studio (which was essentially the band's private studio) that marked the whole Greek scene and established the band as one of the most acclaimed Black/Death Metal acts worldwide. Echoing the raw gritty nature of the band’s contemporaries at the time such as Bathory and Celtic Frost, the organic production, dark passages, and refreshed take on the genre attracted a dedicated and cult following.
This sophomore release saw the Hellenic Black Metal battalion start to evolve and find their identity, ultimately creating their spirited, anthemic brand of Black Metal as we know it today.

The twelfth full-length studio album by legendary Greek Extreme Metal band.
"Rituals" is an album that has obviously been written by veterans. The Greek legends inject a 27-year career, 12 albums, and more than 1200 shows into their songwriting. With confidence and skills derived from experience, each song represents its own sonic universe.
Guitarist/vocalist Sakis Tolis and brother Themis on drums achieve a perfect balance of amalgamating their classic and unique style of riffing and rhythm with exciting new elements sprinkled in to keep their material exciting and fresh.
Carefully chosen guests are being added for better effect, not name-dropping such as the spoken words of Nick Holmes (Paradise Lost) on "A Voice Like Thunder" or Samael's Vorph mesmerizingly quoting from Charles Baudelaire's "Les Fleurs Du Mal" throughout the song "Les Litanies De Satan". Goosebumps moments such as these are liberally sprinkled throughout the record, which manages the feat to sound rock solid and made out of one heavy piece as well as diverse and far ranging at the same time.
The experienced is enhanced by Jens Bogren's equally clear and transparent yet also massive as well as sombre mix and mastering at his widely renowned Fascination Street Studios (Amorphis, Borknagar, Moonspell, Devin Townsend, and many more).
We could say that "Rituals" is what its name means: a collection of transcendental and esoteric hymns of obscure and forgotten rituals. "Rituals" is a perfect album in musical sense, is another masterpiece, but it demands patience, because one single listening isn't enough to understand it fully.
The album debuted at number 14 on the Billboard heatseekers album chart and at number 10 on Ifpi Greek charts.

Ninth full-length album by the cult Greek Extreme/Black Metal band.
For a band whose name alone should have spelled a short and furtive career, Rotting Christ have certainly defied the odds, and their ninth studio album actually finds Greece's esteemed Metal institution approaching the conclusion of their second full decade of existence. What's more, all around bandleader, vocalist, and guitarist Sakis Tolis has continually uncovered new means to express his ever-evolving creativity over the years, while somehow managing to hang on to Rotting Christ's savage Black/Death Metal roots. Having said that, "Theogonia" gets underway in much the same fashion as its immediate predecessors: with a pair of explosive, blastbeat-driven Black Metal assaults called "The Sign of Prime Creation" and "Keravnos Kivernitos"; but except for the equally speedy tandem of "Rege Diabolicus" and "Helios Hyperion," a little later on, such breakneck behavior is neither the band's preference, nor their strongest suit. Rather, Rotting Christ have become the (virtually) undisputed masters of midtempo Extreme Metal marches, which Sakis effortlessly augments with untold layers of sublime guitar harmonies and atmospheric synthesizers. On "Theogonia", this winning template produces some of his finest creations since 1996's watershed "Triarchy Of The Lost Lovers", including the stunning "Phobos' Synagogue", "Gaia Tellus" and "He, the Aethyr." The band is clearly also bent on exploring their Hellenic heritage like never before, with many subjects and lyrics sung in their native tongue, not to mention evident appropriations of Greek Folk music scales for the likes of "Nemecic" and stupendous closer "Threnody." Along the way, Rotting Christ also find some time to visit ancient Sumer with "Enuma Elish," which, uniquely for this album, flirts with a rigid, quasi-Industrial aesthetic before unleashing one of the album's most musical and emotionally cathartic highlights. 
"Theogonia" (in Greek "Birth of the gods") is their first release through Season of Mist, and the first to feature guitarist Giorgos Bokos (Nightfall) in the line-up.
In 2007, Theogonia obtained the Metal Storm award for the Best Black Metal Album of the Year. "Theogonia" is pretty much all killer, no filler, and secures its position alongside Rotting Christ's, and indeed Extreme Metal's best albums!!
Enhanced CD includes music video for the song "Keravnos Kivernitos".

Re-release of the debut full-length album by the cult Greek Melodic Black Metal band.
After recording a handful of demos and releasing 1991's "Passage To Arcturo" EP in their native Greece, Rotting Christ launched their international career with a promising first long-player "Thy Mighty Contract".
The album's production may have been somewhat subpar, and its songs slightly over-reliant on furious blastbeats, but none of this mattered a lick to hardcore Extreme Metal fans, which happily gorged on such tasty Black Metal entrails as "The Sign of Evil Existence" and "The Coronation of the Serpent". After all, even at the start of their storied career, Rotting Christ already showed a budding flair for melody on odes of sublime terror like "Transform All Suffering into Plagues", "Exiled Archangels" and "The Fourth Knight of Revelation". All told, these songs made a lasting first impression for Rotting Christ on the world stage, and the band would waste no time taking their dark, gloriously deviant art to dizzying new heights with their very next efforts.
While not being too brutal, it's still their fastest and most furious album to date. This album captures the energy of early Rotting Christ, while still showcasing enough melody and atmosphere to make it stand out as an excellent album. Each song is an enjoyment in itself, and the album as a whole is a wonderful experience! It certainly is a real gem!!
Originally released in late 1993 by Osmose Productions, the album was re-released by Century Black (Century Media) in 1997 with “Apokathelosis” EP as a bonus.
Century Media Records/Raven Music, 1993/1997/2013. Made in Israel.

The eleventh full-length studio album by legendary Greek Extreme Metal band.
With this album, Rotting Christ climb another step on their steep career ladder. The legendary Greek band created a stunning sequel to the highly acclaimed "Theogonia" (2007) and "Aealo" (2010) albums.
Rotting Christ frontman, Sakis Tolis, considered the album "a journey into the knowledge of ancient civilizations and into the occultism that is rising from the dark side of each one of them".
The Greek phrase "Κατά τον δαίμονα εαυτού" may be translated in several ways, including as "do what thou wilt", a quote associated with Aleister Crowley and Thelema. Sakis Tolis contended that this was the label's translation of the Greek phrase, and a more accurate translation is "true to your own spirit", which better fits the subject matter of the album.
The album incorporates diverse instrumentation, including bagpipes and horns, and delves into Incan, Persian, Babylonian, Mayan, Romanian, Slavic, and Greek mythology. The band clearly confirm their very own sound, which they skillfully vary with female vocals, piano, bagpipes, horns and by other means. Their confident songwriting displays a maturity and perfection born out of long years of composing. By delving deep into ancient poetry, tales of spirits and beliefs, Rotting Christ evoke a fascinating mystical atmosphere.
