CD

Debut album from Dark Ambient Doom Black Metal band from Denmark, featuring members of VICTIMIZER, AD NOCTUM and CHURCH BIZARRE!
In the noir vein of early SHINING, old FORGOTTEN TOMB, BETHLEHEM, URFAUST, and SKEPTICISM.
Using all the trappings, even a few 'chords', from Black Metal and Doom Sanctus Daemoneon craft their own ambient, freeform material. It's hard to grasp a real structure which aligns them with other Black Metal/ambient bands like Abruptum, minus the violence. The sounds are far more contemplative here. Experimental music, the kind you would often find without vocals so their inclusion is of added interest. “Grey Metropolis” is the first release Sanctus Daemoneon who have more soon to come.

The fifth full-length studio album by cult British Heavy Metal band.
Satan – a band that proves some legends never die. They formed almost forty years ago in 1979 and were very much an important part of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) that we all so love and cherish.
They released several albums in the 80s under the names Satan, Pariah, and Blind Fury. Satan’s debut album, "A Court In The Act", has withstood the test of time and remains one of the finest achievements of the NWOBHM. Its Speed Metal tinged riffs are truly unforgettable, and with a mighty vocalist and rhythm section to boot. Satan went radio silent in the late 80s before they came out of nowhere and hit us with 2013’s "Life Sentence".
It’s clear from the very first track that Satan’s still got it, and we’re in for yet another classic. The production found on this album is more classic sounding and roomy than the last two efforts. It’s mixed well, and it almost sounds like it was produced in the 80s. "Cruel Magic" is an enjoyable listen and undoubtedly one of the best albums of the year.
One thing is very certain: Satan seems to be incapable of writing a bad album. The band’s sheer consistency and quality almost forty years after their initial formation is virtually unheard of. It’s almost like Brian and the gang haven’t aged at all, and they’re still riding the high from the 1980s. Perhaps they’ve found a way to harness some form of temporal magic?
"Cruel Magic" is yet another notch in this legendary band’s belt, a testament to their innate ability to write kick ass Metal!

The sixth full-length studio album by cult British Heavy Metal band.
If you haven’t heard of the Heavy Metal band Satan before, you must have been living in another dimension. These guys have been around since the dawn of times (The NWOBHM era of 1979), and have always delighted us with some very good music throughout the years. Especially live, where they have never been able to disappoint. Not so much in the studio, which resulted them in becoming Pariah and even Blind Fury. The albums released under those names are alright, but missing the real Satan vibe. In 2004 a live album saw the light of day. “Live In The Act” was very good, and resulted in the band coming out of Hell to play for us mere mortals again. From 2013 they have been releasing studio albums again, and this time around they do have the impact the band deserves.
"Earth Infernal" is a product of the times that birthed it, and could only be the work of Satan. Having churned out cutting edge Heavy Metal throughout the 80s, their sixth full-length maintains the high standard they long ago set. It is perhaps their timeliest release. "For two years, the world has been preoccupied with politics and pandemics. While we were all looking the other way, our planet has continued to get hotter," says guitarist Russ Tippins. "Our Earth is now infernally hot. Almost irreversibly so. We are on a one-way trip to Hell and dragging our children and their children along with us. Yes, Satan has something to say about global warming."
Musically “Earth Infernal” might not harbour anything new for Satan and their fans, the songs are without exception bloody marvellous. Following up 2018's stunning "Cruel Magic" is no easy feat, a record that Tippins views as a "game changer" for Satan. Describing the record succinctly as "Brutal, up-tempo, loud guitars", it is classic Satan but sounds fresh and new, the band experimenting a little. And perhaps more importantly, Satan will continue to spread the important message at the heart of the album.
This cult act return with another splendid opus that offers us more of the band's legendary and unique style. Wonderfully tight musicianship centred around profoundly enjoyable and atmospheric songwriting. This is a band that have stuck to their guns and done so in a truly rewarding manner time and time again. With Satan, it has always been quality and not quantity and this rings true for “Earth Infernal”, a masterfully written and gripping listen! No cliché, here; hail Satan!!

Re-release of the debut full-length album by Russian Satanic Black Metal band.
Album which started the antichristian fire in Russia. A clear expression of hate and protest over Christ’s religion. Satarial's music is a mix of emotional and aggressive mid-paced Black Metal with much gothic and folk influences. The band is using live instruments like violin and flute. Lord Seth, the main poet and music composer does often use a magical rhetorical system and planetary music combinations. Most of the lyrics are based on ancient rituals of initiation and magic rules.

The third full-length album by Spanish Psychedelic Bluesy Stoner/Hard Rock band.
The new self-titled album from Barcelona's Saturna is heavy, catchy and absolutely well composed. This is, without a doubt, their best yet and this on every front!
Musically somewhere between good old Black Sabbath, Orchid, Witchcraft and Pentagram, Saturna sounds massive and in complete control of its art. These great musicians are building their music on the classic Heavy/Doom Rock blueprints, suave heavy Blues of the 70's and sublime vocal patterns.
This album comes all wrapped up with a stellar production... Retro heaviness never sounded so good. Get this now before your next road trip!!

The second re-release on CD of the second full-length studio album by cult American Power/Speed Metal band. It also includes the second EP of the band and few extra tracks.
The band had a bit of a bumpy ride during the 1980s, with several line-up changes and the like. After their promising and energetic debut EP, "The Dominatress", all the way back in 1983, both their high-wailing vocalist John Birk and guitarist Kenny Powell left, the latter going on to form Power Metal legends Omen. Two years later they would release the absolutely phenomenal Speed/Heavy Metal gem "Master Of Disguise", just to follow it with a European tour deprived of their vocalist Mike Smith, who couldn’t come. Band leader, Chris Logue, had to fill in during the tour, and he decided to keep it that way when the band recorded this album the following year. It’s not hard to imagine he must have been problematic to work with, and he seems to have a colourful personality (among other things, he was infamously arrested in 2005 for practicing medicine without a licence and claiming to cure cancer and diabetes), but the truth is that in “After The Fall From Grace” he shows how good a vocalist he was after all, while handling the guitar too.
Regrettably, this sophomore was Savage Grace’s final full-length album, but it consolidated the standing of a truly exceptional band in the US Power Metal scene. Musically, this may not be as strong as the stunningly stellar predecessor, but it’s still, on all counts, an excellent album! Logue has a different singing style, but it fits the music wonderfully. There is a lot of the remarkable songwriting that make both albums landmarks for anyone into the eighties’ Metal scene, and that’s a real strength of Savage Grace – not just superior technical capabilities, but also the sheer ability to compose truly memorable songs. You become enthralled by a succession of wonderful riffs, bridges, choruses, solos, that keep coming throughout the whole album.
The “Ride Into The Night” EP follows on this disc, with Logue perhaps even more adventurous as a vocalist, having gained his footing even more solidly now, in three more great songs and a cover version (Deep Purple’s "Burn"). Arguably there are no anthems reaching quite the same level as previous tunes like "We Came, We Saw, We Conquered" or "Tales Of Mystery", but the spirit is the same and the quality is very high.
There are still three more songs of bonus material, one from the "American Metal – Heavy ‘n’ Dirty" compilation LP (1991) and two live cuts (with material from their 1991 demo).
Other than that you still have an extra CD, for the purists, with the original version of the album.

The third full-length album by cult American Hard Rock/Glam Metal band.
Compilation of then never released before songs of the band, recorded in Los Angeles and New York City between 1989 and 1991.
Their style here differs from their vintage era, and more of a Power-Sleaze Metal approach, but the songs are still great banging stuff, with very good vocals and guitars, and catchy refrains. Even though the music here quite differ from what the band was known in the 80s, there are a lot of strong tracks and this CD is an integral piece of the Savage Grace legacy.

The second re-release on CD of the debut full-length studio album by cult American Power/Speed Metal band. It also includes the debut demo and EP.
"Master of Disguise" is a critically overlooked Speed Metal gem that oozes with charisma. The Californian quintet offers nine energetic songs with a concise running time of thirty-five minutes. This re-issue include five bonus songs from the debut EP "The Dominatress" and other bonus songs that offer even more value for money.
"Master Of Disguise" is a melodic, playful and timeless album somewhere between Heavy, Speed, and Thrash Metal stylistics with a few Glam and Punk stylistics thrown in. The final result sounds absolutely unique, grows with every spin, and hasn’t lost any of its charm in three and a half decades and counting.
The musicianship is fast but very skilled. The guitar riffs are tight, pitiless, and energetic, while the guitar solos find the perfect balance between melody and energy. The rhythm section is quite energetic with a vibrant audible bass guitar sound and playful drum patterns that are give the opportunity to shine on multiple occasions. The vocals are youthful, passionate, and melodic and will please fans of early Heavy Metal, Glam Metal and even Punk Rock alike.
Check this forgotten gem out, crank up the volume and party with your friends like there is no tomorrow!

Third re-release of the seventh full-length studio album by legendary American Heavy/Power/Progressive Metal/Rock band.
The last album to contain the talents of guitarist Criss Oliva, who died six months after its release, and the first Savatage album to feature Zachary Stevens (former singer of Wicked Witch) on lead vocals, following the departure of Jon Oliva from the fore of the band - departure as lead vocalist, but not as keyboardist or writer.
While Stevens did not have the emotional range that Oliva showed on "Gutter Ballet" and "Streets", he had a less bombastic delivery that fit well with the new material that Paul O' Neill and the Oliva brothers and were writing.
After moving towards Progressive Metal on the previous two albums, "Edge Of Thorns" was a leaner, more understated guitar-driven record. The majority of the album consists of stripped-down Metal anthems, recorded with less flashy guitar work and production than on previous records.
The band continued to try out new sounds, however, using an electric sitar on "Degrees of Sanity" and recording their first acoustic ballad with "Sleep", which closes the album. "Edge Of Thorns" also includes two short solo piano instrumentals adding a note of emotional depth most Metal bands never explore. Among the highlights are the pounding "He Carves His Stone" and "Conversation Piece", with its lyrics about self-mutilation. The title track remains one of the band's finest moments, with a haunting piano phrase, a fierce guitar riff, and a strong lead vocal by Stevens.
A true one-off in the Savatage canon, the tragic death of Criss Oliva following the release of "Edge Of Thorns" ended up leading the band back to Progressive Metal. Also the drums on this album sound different, from other Savatage records, as Steve "Doc" Wacholz decided to use electronic drums. Although most of the drum kits sound authentic, a difference in the sonority of the toms can be heard. "All That I Bleed" and "Miles Away" were the last songs Jon Oliva, Criss Oliva and the producer Paul O'Neill wrote together. For that, these are still Jon Oliva's two favorites on the album.
Fans of old Savatage will probably still feel a bit of hesitation calling this album "Savatage's best", but it's undeniable that this band was looked at differently after this album came out, in an era that Metal was almost an afterthought. This album proved to be a true gem musically and sadly historically with the passing of Criss Oliva. One can only wonder where this line-up would had taken Savatage had it recorded another album and how Savatage would had survived the '90s and became the flag bearer for Metal. “Edge Of Thorns” lives up to the high quality predecessors “Gutter Ballet” and “Streets: A Rock Opera”. This great record completes what is easily the greatest Rock meets classical music album trilogy. For far over sixty profound minutes if you include the essential bonus tracks, passionate Rock and Metal music meet soft experimental sounds driven by classical instruments such as piano and violins but also acoustic guitars and sitars. It’s hard to imagine a Rock or Metal fan that doesn’t at least like this album and that’s why it's highly recommended to add this forgotten genre milestone to your collection at all costs!!
Remastered re-edition features two bonus tracks.

Epic Power Metal in the vein of MANOWAR’s “Battle Hymns”!!
The history of SAVERS began in 1998, when four Italian warriors came together to create Metal on the highest level. Every listener will certainly agree that there’s no other band that appears to be influenced by MANOWAR to that extent, nonetheless, SAVERS are not just a good copy but are always keeping to their own distinct style. The stylish copperplate cover provides an additional attraction for every fan of True Epic Metal.
