Description

The eighth full-length studio album by legendary German Symphonic Gothic Metal band.
Atrocity's 2nd full-length cover album, sequel to the original "Werk 80" album released in 1997.
Eleven years after the first ''Werk 80'' release, Atrocity comes around with its follow-up featuring covers of national and international Pop and Rock songs of the eighties. What seems like an unoriginal idea at first sight turns out to be a quite interesting affair. While the first album had a martial Industrial Rock tone, this sequel sounds completely different and mostly focuses on a more Epic Symphonic structure. With this classical vibe, Atrocity explores numerous sub-genres and sounds even more eclectic than usual by its own diversified standards. This album offers pretty much everything from Symphonic Power Metal as in ''The Sun Always Shines on TV'' over Symphonic Gothic Metal in ''Hey Little Girl'' to Symphonic Death Metal in ''Relax''.
On the positive side, this release is much more diversified, entertaining and inspired than the somewhat lackluster first part. The song selection is also better since the first installment included some controversial tunes from German Underground bands while this record only features some of the very best commercial Pop and Rock songs from the eighties. While Alexander Krull is still an average clean vocalist at best, his performance sounds more skilled than eleven years earlier where his aqualung vocals sounded similar in each tune while he sounds more melodic and has a slightly higher range on this output.
Fans of '80s Pop may find Atrocity’s name all too appropriate when they hear "Werk 80 II", an album of Metallic synth-slick covers of hits from New Wave heavyweights such as Ah-Ha, Simple Minds, and Frankie Goes to Hollywood... "Werk 80 II" treats material often viewed as lightweight with the reverence and gravity that many of the songs deserve. Bronski Beat’s melancholy “Smalltown Boy” is inflated with Metallic grandeur and a mournful choir, and the dorm room staple “Don’t You Forget About Me” is juiced with a forceful chorus!
''Werk 80 II'' is a clear improvement over its first installment thanks to a more diversified, entertaining and skilled reinvention of classic Rock and pOop songs of the eighties. To keep it short, those who liked the first record should definitely check out the much better follow-up. It's also recommended to eclectic Symphonic Metal fans. Those who are missing the commercial Pop and Rock music of the eighties for nostalgic or closed-minded reasons might also give this a try! No matter your opinion on the source material, it’s definitely fun!!
CD includes booklet-poster.

Description

Third re-release of the fifth full-length album by legendary German Industrial Gothic Metal band.
The Atrocity's first full-length album with cover versions of popular 1980s songs.
Atrocity is one of the most experimental Metal bands of all times. From Grindcore to Symphonic Metal and everything between, there isn't much left the band hasn't tried out in its long career. Even for such an Eclectic band, ''Werk 80'' was a quite surprising release that got the band some minor mainstream success while more traditional Extreme Metal fans of the band's early years didn't dig the band's new experiment. ''Werk 80'' offers cover versions of national and international Pop and Rock songs of the eighties. The band's song selection turns out being as eclectic as the band itself and varies from international smash hits from David Bowie and Duran Duran to less known German underground tracks from And One and D.A.F. to only name a few examples.
The band mostly used a cool, dark and low Industrial Rock and Metal sound for their interpretations that would get some critical acclaim from the German Alternative and Gothic scene where new genres such as Neue Deutsche Härte in the key of Rammstein and Neue Deutsche Todeskunst in the vein of Das Ich were on the rise. ''Werk 80'' dominated by low and almost emotionless vocals, simplistic and heavy riffs, minimalist keyboard patterns and an almost robotic rhythm section. Many songs actually sound like danceable march music with a martial vibe.
The cover artworks of this record and the different singles with a lot of sexual appeal only add to the fact that the band tried to shock more conservative minds.
Even though they sold out in their later years, Atrocity continues making great music. "Werk 80" is a mix of great hits from the 80's, covered by Atrocity! All those things from the 80's that you can't stop love, now 'metalized'!!
Absolute musthave!!!

Description

The debut full-length album by the Spanish Dark Ambient one man band.
A brooding wind sweeps down from the North. Music tends to be the one thing that can separate you from the drudgery of life, and especially so, the majesty of grand Ambient atmospheres. Aura Negativ offers this imaginative possibility, and is a new side-project from Eöl, the Spanish musician and soundsmith behind Numen and Elffor.
This debut self-titled effort is comprised of a handful of tracks that were recorded around 2005 and eventually gathered together for their release here. These six untitled tracks are a combination of majestic Ambient structures and harmonious swells the lull over grand sweeping melodies and curiously distorted vocals and samples. It is hard to describe this album without using overly ambiguous words, but that is primarily for the fact that it is such a grand experience that words are simply not sufficient enough to describe the intricate emotions and sensations that seep through every melody and every sound of this album. Even though this album is far from unique in its shape and sound, it has been crafted so bloody well that it deserves high praise for the atmosphere that was obtained alone. It feels like a soundtrack to some grand, void-born adventure, and although the tracks all differ substantially from the one another, they also individually retain a unique and powerful sound.
The combination of a heavy atmosphere and distorted vocals meld together exquisitely to bring both intensity and an overwhelming other-worldliness to the song. The rhythm here has been crucially structured and never takes up more space than it needs in order to amplify the superb minimal melodies of the song, yet it remains like a beating heart all through the track.
Aura Negativ might be a trunk of odd bits and ends from Eöl’s past, dug up and crafted together into a release in the latest months of 2013, but it will blow you away in its potent gale. This album might well be the grail for seekers of a soundtrack to the void between the harsher Black Ambient and the more melodious atmospheric shapes of Classical Dark Ambient.

Description

The fourth compilation album by legendary American Death Metal band.
This great digibook contains all of Autopsy's EPs and rarities remastered by the band as well as some new and exclusive cuts (1-4 tracks) for a combined total of 22 tracks, resulting in over 73 minutes of sickness! Everything from "Retribution For The Dead" to "The Tomb Within" is presented with all original artworks and liner notes from the band!!
Doomed up, mud'n'guts Death Metal, most of which compiles previously released out of print EP material, remastered and repackaged in a terrific hardcover booklet with righteously reeking artwork from Matt Cavotta.
"All Tomorrow's Funerals" includes the remastered versions of songs from early '90s EPs "Retribution For The Dead" and "Fiend For Blood; "Horrific Obsession" and "Feast of the Graveworm" from the "Horrific Obsession" Single; "Funereality" from the "Peaceville Vol. 4" compilation; the five cuts that first appeared on "The Tomb Within" EP, which includes one of the most nefarious Doom licks Autopsy has ever recorded on "My Corpse Shall Rise"; four new cuts, including a title track, "Broken People", "Maggot Holes" that pick up right where the phenomenal "Macabre Eternal" left off, and an appropriately creepy/bizarre close to the proceedings called "Sign of the Corpse"; and he aforementioned "Mauled to Death", which is a 1987 demo track resurrected for this release.
If you already own most of the previously released material, you could make the argument that "All Tomorrow's Funerals" is for that reason alone not all that essential. But you'd be totally dismissing the impact of the remastering, the first-rate packaging, and the new songs. Besides, the original recordings offered much in the way of compositional value to begin with. None of it comes close to unacceptable. This is one case where remastering adds immense value to the oldest recordings; much like the production on "Macabre Eternal" was of a high, modern standard that didn't sap the filthy essence of Autopsy.
The commentary contributed to the booklet by guys like Bob Bagchus (Asphyx), Ted Skjellum (DarkThrone), and Dopi (Machetazo) is well worth the read. All are long-time fans that are intimately familiar with the Autopsy material and offer insight into the band's influence and impact on the genre of Death Metal. Collectively written comments from Autopsy are also included.
The real story told through all that blood-gargling and sewage riffing is how Autopsy managed to get better as players and songwriters with the new material (as already proven by "The Tomb Within" and "Macabre Eternal"), while staying true to the form perfected by the band all those years ago. It is impressive how cohesive "All Tomorrow's Funerals" sounds during front-to-back-listens. The reanimated and the newly formed fit together snugly, the result a compilation that flows damn near as well as a proper studio release.
"All Tomorrow's Funerals" is 73 representatively morbid minutes of music from one of the greatest Death Metal bands of all time!!!

Description

Re-release of the first two albums, “In Loneliness Of Two Souls” and “By The Candles Obsequial”, in one set by the Ukrainian Melodic Doom/Death Metal band.
Both records are long out of print and very hard to come by, meaning this collection will be warmly received by fans of the bands more widely available third album "O’Funeralia" (2009) – and those fans may be many as all three albums were very well received by fans and critics alike upon their original release.
From the very start of debut album "In Loneliness of Two Souls" it is apparent what subgenre we are dealing with here, as images of early My Dying Bride and Anathema are instantly evoked.
"By The Candles Obsequial" is indeed a progression in the band’s sound, with more variety of elements, especially the addition of occasional female vocals, which, although a bit of a clichéd way for a band of this ilk to diversify, is tried and tested and certainly works. Certainly the keyboards are a cut above those found on the debut, really standing out rather than being a bit of a background/textural element. The general level of both song writing and production also seems improved and really puts "By The Candles Obsequial" up there in the elite category within the genre.
All in all this has to go down as an absolutely essential release for anybody into this kind of Melodic Death/Doom Metal who does not own both albums. Sadly the band have released nothing new since 2009, but perhaps the renewed interest generated by this release will spark something. We certainly hope so!

Description

The fifth full-length studio album by the legendary German Hard Rock/Heavy/Power Metal band.
For over 25 years, Axel Rudi Pell has counted as one of Germany’s most versatile guitarists. With over a dozen studio albums, he has a record of brilliant productions, loved by his fans and greeted with respect and praise by the press.
Axel Rudi Pell is a well-known virtuoso, alumni of Ritchie Blackmore's style. He started to make solo albums and only after a long time he managed to get an image of his own. Of course, his influences are clearly traceable. A bit of Sabbath, a lot of Purple and Rainbow, some bits of Dio and Judas Priest. But here after some goods ("Nasty Reputation", "Between The Walls") and not-so-goods ("Wild Obsession", "Eternal Prisoner") he actually became "Axel Rudi Pell" and not just another Blackmore-esque virtuoso shredding just for the sake of self-appraisal. A great thing in this album is precisely that it finally gave an identity to Axel Rudi Pell.
Another high point for this release is the exact amount of "Power" within the Metal. This album has that precise and magic touch. When we listen to other more successful bands in the mainstream Metal world, like Sonata Arctica or even late Stratovarius and their fully-made-of-synthesizers-and-keyboards tracks (with no riffs at all in some points) we understand how the heavy Metal can be shattered and get lost. Axel Rudi Pell shows us the other face of the Power Metal genre: the one with the riffs. The guitar's essence and brutality, mixed with talent and melodic behavior.
The riff is the essence, Axel Rudi Pell knows that, and, with riffs, he takes his victory at the end of this album, the finest he ever made. In "Black Moon Pyramid" ARP starts a legendary couple of follow-ups ("Magic" and "Oceans Of Time") which remains his magnum opus period.
This album is highly recommended for the people who wants to know how Power Metal should be made. If you want to survive in this business of Metal, you must have some talent and you need to know how to reflect yourself in an original way, respecting your own influence. Axel Rudi Pell figured this out and made a high shot! If Blackmore was his teacher, well, Axel learnt all the lessons. Masterfully!!
