CD

For the first time officially released, the first live album by legendary American Technical Brutal Death Metal band.
Legendary Death Metal icons are universally regarded as the best live Death Metal band in the world. Their very first live-record, "Close Of A Chapter", captures all the speed, intensity, and brutality of one of the most influential bands in Death Metal.
Many a Death Metal bands can come off sounding as tight as a mosquito's arse in the studio (where one can fiddle around with Pro Tools and take endless takes to get things razor-sharp), but the real test is how they pull it off live, on stage. And as evidenced by Suffocation's first-ever live offering, 2009's "Close Of A Chapter", these lads are just as explosively brutal on-stage as they are in the cold confines of the recording studio.
Recorded in Quebec City during the band's Souls To Deny Tour in 2005, this 13-track set is also advertised as being completely devoid of any editing, which only makes it all the more impressive. As with the majority of bands from this aforementioned genre, there's not a lot of musical diversity here. But looked upon as a whole album, "Close Of A Chapter" is one unrelenting, raging beast, and should seriously be considered as one of Death Metal's top live recordings of all time!

The first re-release of the debut full-length studio album by Greek Thrash Metal band.
A long overdue re-release, "Eternal Domination" is a mix of American and German mid-80s Thrash Metal, marrying elements from early Slayer, Sepultura, Kreator and Destruction, just to name a few.
The vocals sound a bit like a faster version of Mille Petrozza at times. Fast and evil sounding, a good match for the music which is mostly mid to fast-paced, with heavy and slow passages that slowly but surely elevate into speedier and speedier guitars and thunderous drums. There's enough old school riffage on this bad boy to make the seasoned Thrash fan overdose.
Overall the band manages to create and maintain a rather dark, menacing and destructive atmosphere. As an added bonus, these guys are very tight, which makes this speed fest even more enjoyable. Fast, heavy, violent and blasphemous! Highly recommended!! Old School Thrash Metal At its Best!!!

The third full-length studio album by legendary American Hardcore/Thrash Metal band.
Suicidal Tendencies regrouped successfully for one of their best efforts on this album. It's the band's first album recorded with the addition of a rhythm guitarist Mike Clark, and their only release with bassist Bob Heathcote, who was replaced by Robert Trujillo in 1989. Mike Clark changed the band's style heavily as well - he writes much of the music for this album, and gives lead guitarist Rocky George more soloing time, thus creating another factor on this and future albums' for more Metal-oriented sound. The band's Thrashy fusion of its Hardcore roots with Speed Metal was fully developed by this point, and Mike Muir's social commentary and self-analysis were as ragingly compelling and by turns amusing as ever.
The stylistic variation gives the album a sprawling feel that might be off-putting for those who like Thrash to sound ‘a certain way’. Suicidal Tendencies never cared about convention. This band was always more interested in contradiction than purity. They delighted in juxtaposing a tough, streetwise image (shown on the album cover) with confessional vulnerability (shown in the lyrics). These types of contradictions endeared them to many people outside of the Metal scene, sometimes at the expense of people inside it.
Probably, there are die-hard Thrash Metal fans who may have missed this album, because it doesn’t fit genre stereotypes. If you one of them, listen to this album immediately, you'll love it!!
In August 2014, Revolver Magazine placed the album on its "14 Thrash Albums You Need to Own" list.

The second full-length album by British Thrash Metal/Crossover band.
Remastered re-release on CD of the digital album 2009 with bonus demo and live tracks.
The second Suicide Watch album sought to consolidate the growing reputation these Brits had earned with their "Global Warning" debut. Featuring two former members of UKHC diehards Stampin’ Ground, this ferocious quartet play Thrash Metal with a dirty, pugilistic edge, eschewing the Hardcore Crossover leanings of their modern US counterparts and focusing on a thrillingly British take on the genre that, for all its precise belligerence, owes a subtle spiritual debt to the muscular but raw Punk Rock blitzkrieg of Slaughter And The Dogs and One Way System.
"Death Support System" and "Make No Mistake" exhibit a mastery of the riffs, hooks and pinpoint rhythmic about-turns that have long made the best Thrash Metal such a visceral joy. The whole thing sounds oddly timeless, too, the original album’s unfussy production job enhanced by a deft remastering job.
This reissue features four bonus studio cuts and some endearingly grubby live material, all of which slays like Saint George on cheap street speed.
A must for all fans of UK Thrash Metal!!

Japanese edition of the eleventh full-length album by the German Celtic/Folk Melodic Death Metal band.
Suidakra is back again, after their return to form on 2011’s "Book Of Dowth". But this time they’ve decided to take on a concept album based on the ancient Welsh tale, "The Dream of Macsen Wledig" which injects the band’s Celtic take on At The Gates and Dark Tranquility styled Melodic Death Metal with elements of movie-soundtrack orchestration as featured in the album’s opening intro “Storming The Walls”. The disc certainly has its heavy moments like “Inner Sanctum” and “Rage For Revenge” but you’ll also have to deal with some acoustic numbers that sort of set off the balance, like the female vocal ballad “The Mindsong” and album closer “Damnatio Memoriae”.
If you’re afraid that band have left all of the Folk instruments behind in favor of a much grander scheme, then you can leave your worries behind and revel in “Pair Dadeni” and “March Of Conquest” which feature bagpipes intact. Because what’s Celtic Metal without the bagpipes?
Yes, while it is true that “Beneath The Red Eagle” suffers from too much pomp and bonus cut “Mrs. McGrath” just doesn’t seem to fit along with the rest of the package despite the fact that it is a classic, (in every sense of the word, as it goes back hundreds of years) the majority of this record sees the band primed and ready to do battle. It’s rough, hard edged and as sharp as any blade that a warrior might pull out of a scabbard. Armed with loads of melodies, thunderous drums and Arkadius’s scathing vocals, this is Suidakra just as we’d like to hear them!
Japan edition comes with OBI and features two bonus tracks!!

The debut full-length studio album by British Pop Punk band.
Following up their "So Make Your Move" EP, Yorkshire four-piece combo have released their first full-length record, that initially settles quite comfortable into the Pop-Punk genre, but as the album progresses steadily transitions to a Post-Hardcore vibe, that is really indicative of the ability of this band. Since Summerlin seem to be touring as much as they possibly can, this exposure and brilliant first album could see them really take off into the music scene.
Summerlin have created a superb record showcasing all their talent and not confining themselves to one genre. This gives them the opportunity to go anywhere from here, but if this album tells you nothing else, it’s that wherever they do decide to go, it’s somewhere you should follow them.

The debut full-length studio album by British Thrash Metal band.
The pulse of Thrash Metal courses through their veins. Bands don’t get much cooler than Sun of the Endless Night!
Sun Of The Endless Night have an impeccable pedigree when it comes to delivering violent, uncompromising music. There’s no shortage of experience here, and every ounce of blood, sweat and tears these five have invested in the Extreme Metal scene over the years has been wrung into a poisonous chalice and served up afresh in Sun Of The Endless Night. These guys play Thrash Metal for the discerning Thrasher and the kind of 'pit hardened warrior' with a penchant for the more cerebral and uncompromising elements of the scene.
Combining an undying love of the mid-Eighties Bay Area scene, a time when Testament were still known as "The Legacy" and Baloff was helping Exodus carve out their devastating reputation, with a Crossover obsession and the raw, unfettered energy of early Discharge, Sun Of The Endless Night have released a sure fire contender for record of the year!
This cranium destroying, Thrash-monster guaranteed to blow your eyeballs out of the back of your head and melt whatever is left of your brain. Lace up your converse, throw your baseball cap on backwards and start practicing your very best stage dives!! It’s Thrashing time!!!
Musthave for fans of Slayer, Anthrax, Testament and Exodus!!!!

Second full-length album by Italian Hard Rock band.
Album follows the musical path already travelled by this Italian quartet: engaging Hard Rock and disenchanted irony tell the band stories. "Araba Fenice" contains 12 songs, following a musical path that is well-known for the fans of this Italian quartet: engaging and attractive Hard Rock with anger of Heavy Metal. It tends to the lighter side of the melodic Heavy Metal genre.
All of the songs are sung in Italian, making it hard to understand for most outsiders, but it gives another dimension and emotive approach to their song-writing. The voice of their singer Diego Boschini is very powerful and full of passion, esp. when intertwining with tremendous guitar solos.
The overall sound and atmosphere is attractive and seductive, telling the beautiful story. The album is filled with dynamic, changing melodies and catchy songs, and if you’re into a genuine and original sound - "Araba Fenice" is for your further listen; you won’t be disappointed!

American re-release of the second full-length album from Bulgarian Folk/Black Metal one man band located in Germany.
"Lady Vitosha" features 8 songs written & composed in the best traditions of the pagan Black Metal style. To surprise Dimo handles all the instruments maximally good (except the drums that are synthetic, but were programmed pretty good too) and the variations of different string-based folk inclusions are also remarkable. This guy really knows how to mix the raw guitar sound with sad yet heart-rending harmonies. The folk acoustic parts appear mainly in every song, except the war-like "Kum Vihúr v slamenata gorica" song, which storms like a tornado. The music is very varied so to say. You can find there everything from slow to fast, from sad to melodic, from meditative to depressive, etc. The lyrics (which are in Bulgarian) and the music itself were totally inspired by the ancient Bulgarian culture. Fans of folk-influenced Black Metal should put their hands on this unordinary stuff.
Re-release contains two bonus tracks from "Baxas Xebesheth 1883" album.
