Re-release of the third full-length album by Italian Ambient Black Metal band.
Fine cult Heathen Ambient/Folk Black Metal in the old Bathory style from ex-member of Opera IX! This is really a project of artist with the pseudonym M., who otherwise mainly relies on a session musicians.
The album combines Black Metal with Epic structures and dynamic atmospheric parts. Varied emotions and moods are translated into professional music. Four songs feature quite a variety Metal style from somber with acoustic guitar, that are done beautifully before the band picks up the pace with icy, raw guitars. The drumming is done extremely well with slow to mid paced drums. M. vocals show a range of emotion mainly using the Black Metal shrieks but there are also some deeper Death growls used in a few songs and even some clean vocal patterns and chants.
Raw Black Metal with melody, primeval chanting and ancient Folk influences. Atmospheric songs take the listener into the ancient world of myths and legends. "Grisera" is very solid Ambient Black Metal album that indulges only slight flaw that it is much too short. Definitly worth the price if you’re a fan of Folkish Black Metal!!

The thirteenth full-length studio album by cult British Folk Metal band.
Skyclad often referred to as “the originators of Folk Metal”. Formed in 1990 by Martin Walkyer (Sabbat) and Steve Ramsey (Satan/Pariah), the band gained extraordinary attention from both, the press and the public, with the now legendary debut album "The Wayward Sons Of Mother Earth" (1991) and, since then, has built up a solid reputation which led them to take part in some of the most important international Metal events (such as the renowned Dynamo, Wacken, Gods of Metal and Tuska Festivals) and share the stage with some of the most respected artists of their time.
"In The… All Together" mixes the usual Thrash/Speed Metal influences with the extraordinary Folk melodies that made the band famous all around the world, maintaining a fresh and dynamic approach which gives a strong live dimension to the new songs. This album was recorded completely by the band members. There are no 'guests' or orchestras etc. This was a deliberate move to try to keep the recordings as 'live and fresh' as possible, and one aimed at taking the band into the studio 'all together'. This wasn’t exactly a 'back to basics' strategy, as the songs on the new album are far from basic, as the band continues to experiment with odd timings and tunings. Another benefit of this approach is that Skyclad will be able to play more of the album songs live.
Another Skyclad album, which is reasonably filler-less, because even the 'iffy' songs are somewhat interesting, and they definitely can't be accused of being boring or forced, and after the last notes of "In The... All Together!" you're left with a hunger for more and keep repeating this CD's highlights!

Debut full-length album by the Russian Melodic Death/Black Metal band.
Skyfall was formed in 2003 by two talented musicians, Alexander and Nocturne.
They started playing following the canons of Sympho Black Metal. Hints of Death Metal could already be heard in their first demo-CD, and this trend continued with their subsequent albums. Their current style is a form of Blackened Death Metal, with shattering bass, tough guitars, fierce vocals and thundering percussion. Aggression, anguish, power and drive are the integral components of every note that this band produces. Professionalism at the highest level is evident in the quality of every performance. While listening to Skyfall lyrics, one finds oneself with a sense of melancholy, while the subconscious explores the hidden depths of despair. The lyrics complete the picture of the band's art, creating a sense of inevitable retribution.
If you in Death/Black Metal - this is for you!

Remastered re-release of the debut full-length album by American Alternative Hard Rock superband.
The superband consisting of Brother Cane and Queensrÿche band members, and was formed in 2000.
In 2000, the band Queensrÿche went on a break after finishing a 6-month tour in support of Q2K. Drummer Scott Rockenfield and guitarist Kelly Gray, who played in Queensrÿche at that time, were discussing what to do. Gray had worked with Brother Cane on a project, and remained close to singer and guitarist Damon Johnson and bassist Roman Glick. He called Johnson in the summer of 2000, and suggested him to give Rockenfield a call. Rockenfield knew of the band, but never met them. The name "Slave To The System" describes the effect of corporate minds on an artist's music, and hints at the band members' dissatisfaction with the record industry. The name was coined by Gray even before the band members first met.
The band sent demos to various record labels trying to negotiate a record deal. In 2002, they decided to release the album on their own. They independently released the album "Slave To The System" in 2002. The music consists both the old and new schools of Rock and Metal, including Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Thin Lizzy, Audioslave and Velvet Revolver influences.
The band played one show in Tennessee and another Seattle after this release. In February 2004, Heard left for undisclosed reasons, and they continued as a four-piece.
Eventually in 2005, the band got signed to Spitfire Records. The original release was remixed and remastered by Spitfire, before they released it on February 21, 2006. The re-release included two new songs, "Cruise Out of Control" and "Ragdoll", featuring Gray on vocals. It received radio play and its sales got the album up to number 25 on the charts.

The third re-release of the first live mini-album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
It was recorded in New York City on their Haunting North America Tour (in front of a room of people) in the autumn of 1984. It has been questioned by both critics and authors that the audience sound may or may not be faked, however when asked if they were fake, producer Bill Metoyer said: "I don't know if I should tell you".
The album was released through Metal Blade Records in 1985 on vinyl and cassette. 1987 re-edition includes also CD release, and features studio version bonus track “Chemical Warfare” from “Haunting The Chapel” EP.
This remastered re-release includes original version of the album, without any bonus tracks. Remaster 1993.

The debut full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
Slayer’s debut is still regarded as a milestone for a new way of doing Metal. This new way was a start of the real Thrash Metal. This album is, along with “Kill ‘Em All”, “Killing Is My Business… And My Business Is Good” and “Bonded By Blood”, an important sign of the new growing scene. Slayer, grown up with Venom and true Heavy Metal, created a piece of history, a must for every Metal kid. And the story begins right here… Four guys, that wanted to play fast and brutal, join together and, after few demos, they recorded the first album, “Show No Mercy” - ten tracks of pure Speed/Thrash Metal.
Brian Slagel signed the band to Metal Blade, after watching their performing of the song "Phantom of the Opera" by Iron Maiden. The band was forced to self-finance their debut album, combining the savings of vocalist Tom Araya, who was employed as a respiratory therapist, and money borrowed from guitarist Kerry King's father. Touring extensively promoting the album, the band brought close friends and family members along the trip, who helped backstage with lighting and sound.
The album was recorded & mixed in November 1983 at Track Record Studios and released a month later. It took only eight hours to record (!!!), to cut down studio costs, which explains the poor production quality. Although criticized for poor production quality, "Show No Mercy" became Metal Blade Records' highest selling release!
Nothing commercial, nothing accessible - just pure Thrash f***ing Metal of the highest order, with a steroidal injection of NWOBHM.
Remastered re-release in Deluxe 5-panel Digipack.

First re-release of the tenth full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
Slayer's first release featuring the original line-up since 1990s “Seasons In The Abyss”! They came through on all of their promises. It is like a mix of "Seasons In The Abyss" and "God Hates Us All", and the return of the drum master Dave Lombardo places the band back on the edge, pushing themselves and the genre to look back at where they've been and where they go from here! Kerry and Jeff shred all over this album; it's a riff lover’s dream!!! And Tom goes balls-to-the-wall when it comes time to let rip some vocals!!!! The result is a rushing linebacker assault of fast chord changes and slamming, skid-stop rhythms of drummer Dave Lombardo, who knows how to seat an off time phrase within a dead-mans-hand cadence, then top it off with a fill that crushes its own rhythmic expectation with a structure like the silent falling of buildings under a nuclear shockwave. From newer albums, Slayer keep the jaunty bounce and two-chord rhythm riffs, but into it, they adroitly mix their older lead guitar fills, chaotic solos and song structures that seem displaced by internal earthquakes.
Lyrics, particularly in the song "Jihad", describe the September 11 attacks from a terrorist perspective. A Mumbai based Christian group, the Catholic Secular Forum, was outraged by this and thus demanded a recall. As a result, all Indian stocks of the album were recalled and destroyed by EMI India. Depicting a mutilated Christ painted by long-time collaborator Larry Carroll, the album's graphic artwork courted controversy. An alternative cover was issued to conservative retailers who felt uncomfortable with the original. The band also put out a censored cover, which censored out the offensive artwork.
The album received generally favourable critical reviews, and it entered the Billboard 200 at number 5 - the band's highest U.S. chart position to date. “Christ Illusion” includes the Grammy Award-winning song "Eyes of the Insane". In its first week of release, the album sold 62,000 copies in the United States.
"Christ Illusion" is one of the most fist pumping, pissed off, and downright shredding albums you'll ever come across!!!!! Definitely the best Slayer record since "South Of Heaven" and "Seasons In The Abyss"!!!!!!

The eighth full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
The second studio album of the band to feature drummer Paul Bostaph.
The album became the first record of the band recorded with a low order and was designated by the band as the most experimental album. It is to be played mostly in Drop C# tuning. The album's title is a Latin term for "The Devil in Music", a musical interval known for its dissonance.
Lyrical themes explored on the album include religion, cultural deviance, death, insanity, war, and homicide. Guitarist Jeff Hanneman wrote most of the album's content.
This is an album everybody can enjoy. It bears the heaviness that many fans enjoy, while maintaining that fast-paced Thrash element fans of classic Slayer look for. It progresses beyond the stale sound developed from "Divine Intervention" and "Undisputed Attitude". Finally, it honestly and wholeheartedly kicks ass!
The album received fairly critical reviews and despite this it sold in the amount of 46 000 copies in the first week and reached position number 31 on the Billboard 200. As of August 16, 2006 the album has sold 290 000 copies in the United States.

Second European re-release of the sixth full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
The band's first album with new drummer Paul Bostaph, replacing the original drummer Dave Lombardo. However, it was the first album with a new sound, which could be seen a departure from the canonical Slayer's Thrash Metal style. The new sound was characterized by a high volume, loss of the melodic line and the strong influence of Punk Rock.
The Rock & Roll landscape changed dramatically between "Seasons In The Abyss" in 1990 and "Divine Intervention" in 1994. With the rise of Alternative Rock, many Metal and Hard Rock bands that had been enormously successful at the dawn of the '90s were struggling by the middle of the decade. Instead of doing something calculated like emulating Nirvana or Pearl Jam, or for that matter, Nine Inch Nails or Ministry, Slayer wisely refused to sound like anyone but Slayer. Tom Araya and co. responded to the new environment simply by striving to be the heaviest Metal band they possibly could. Less accessible than "Seasons In The Abyss" but equally riveting, "Divine Intervention" marked drummer Paul Bostaph's studio debut with the band. Bostaph proved to be a positive, energizing influence on Slayer, which sounds better than ever on such dark triumphs as "Killing Fields", "Serenity in Murder" and "Circle of Beliefs".
Characteristically grim and morbid, Slayer focus on the violently repressive nature of governments and the lengths to which they will go to wield power. And true to form, Slayer's music is as disturbing as their lyrics. 
The charts were a record for the band at the time, album debuted at position 8 on the Billboard 200 in the first week, sales of 93000 copies, and by 2002 it sold over 400000 copies in the US. It peaked number eight on the Billboard 200 and charted at number 15 on UK Albums Chart, and later in the same year album was certified Gold in Canada and the United States. Although it is less accessible than its predecessor "Seasons In The Abyss", Rolling Stone considered it to be their most successful album as of 2001.
In 1998 the album was banned in Germany due to the lyrics of "SS-3", "Circle of Beliefs", "Serenity in Murder", "213" and "Mind Control".

The ninth full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
The last album with drummer Paul Bostaph, before it returns in 2013. Incredibly brutal, "God Hates Us All" is Slayer's most effective album since "Seasons in the Abyss" (1990), thanks in large part to Matt Hyde's raw production and a handful of killer songs. The previous few Slayer albums, "Divine Intervention" (1994), "Undisputed Attitude" (1996) and "Diabolus In Musica" (1998), were relatively disappointing, at least for anyone familiar with the band's defining triptych of "Reign In Blood" (1986), "South Of Heaven" (1988) and "Seasons In The Abyss" (1990). While "God Hates Us All" isn't on a par with those classics, without much argument one could call it a return to form for Slayer. A couple "War Ensemble"-style thrashers, "Disciple" and "New Faith", get the album off to vicious start; "Payback" concludes the album likewise. On the other hand, "Bloodline" is a slower-paced, evocative song in the style of "Reign in Blood" and "South of Heaven", including a melodic chorus. These are the highlights of "God Hates Us All", and while there are some passable songs sequenced throughout the 13-track album, it's solid and well-balanced overall. Especially since it arrived after a long absence, "God Hates Us All" should be a relief for long-time Slayer fans who were afraid the band had fallen off during the '90s, and it well may surprise newcomers unfamiliar with the band's prime recordings from the mid- to late '80s. The album was recorded with the old, traditional for Slayer hard sound.
The album was released on the day of the tragedy in the United States, September 11, 2001. Release date of the album was delayed because of problems with the cover, due to difficulties during the recording, and because of the change of producer. In its week of release, "God Hates Us All" debuted at number 28 on the Billboard 200 and sold 51000 copies. It entered the Canadian Albums Chart at number 9 and debuted at number 18 on the top Internet album chart. As of August 16, 2006 the album has sold 304000 copies in the United States. The band was first time nominated for a Grammy Award, for the song "Disciple", but the prize was awarded to the other band.
Dave Lombardo re-joined Slayer and attended music festivals worldwide to promote "God Hates Us All" and record drums on the 2006 album "Christ Illusion".
