CD

The fifth EP by legendary American Speed/Thrash Metal/Shred guitarist and singer.
Juilliard Graduate violin/guitar virtuoso shredder/creator of "Shred/Classical" music confronts the terrorists after 9/11 with the revolutionary CD "Wagner's War". "The song "War" was written out of severe rage and the song "Terror" was written in horror out of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center and my city - New York City!", – declares the Great Kat. Listen to this shocking CD and hear for yourselves!
The Great Kat was a short-lived phenomenon in the late 80s, when her albums "Worship Me Or Die" and "Beethoven On Speed" initiated a counter-revolution all by herself, impossibly fast music played by a delicate woman, not much taller than five feet, but containing more energy than whole legions of long-haired male Metal bands. The Great Kat was so far ahead of her time that her former label didn't do more music with her.
Back in the present: The Great Kat is still alive. These days, she is releasing short CD-EPs, with songs rarely longer than 2 minutes, through TPR Music – her sister's public relations company. And one thing is for sure: The Great Kat still knows how to sell herself!
Where in her early days, we had to do with satanic clichés, the 9/11 events have made her a fierce warrior queen against terrorism. Dressed in camouflage clothes and looking scarier than a whole squadron of navy seals, The Great Kat starts her album with Wagner's "The Ride Of The Valkyries", a fitting opening for such a violent album. She still knows how to blend perfectly hyperspeed Metal with Classical music, adding her virtuosity with the fastest guitar solos you might ever hear. And by the way, The Great Kat has been voted among the ten fastest guitar shredders by Guitar One Magazine.
Next up are four original compositions, displaying the typical The Great Kat sound: Speed Metal so fast that even early Napalm Death seem lame in comparison, with wailing banshee vocals that scare the hell out, and whenever you think that this is all getting out of control, you are rewarded with one of the mistress's staccato solos that are so out of this world.
The two last tracks are again Classical pieces, the first one being Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody #2", with impossible fast guitars and without a doubt the highlight of the album. On the last track, Sarasate's "Zapateado", The Great Kat gets out her violin and proves that she is a Juilliard graduate for a good reason. The Classical pieces are backed by a midi Symphonic orchestra, but as the emphasis is on guitar and violin, you don't even really notice.
Since the late 80s, instrumental (or nearly instrumental) guitar albums have been quite popular mostly with musicians, but rather inaccessible to casual listener. The Great Kat outperforms not most, but all of the competition, by not only being faster, but also much fiercer than anyone you can think of. As much as we enjoy the combination of Extreme Metal (which may seem parodist at times), BDSM imagery and an ego bigger than Jesus, we also can see that there is incredible virtuosity in a musician that makes it easier to write whole pages about 10 minutes of sheer originality than to even wonder what to write about hour long albums of boring mediocrity. The Great Kat may only release 10 minutes of music every other year, but these short moments are well worth the wait!

On this 8-song EP, The Great Kat shredding Mozart's overtures with special guests appearance in one track: Beethoven, Paganini and Rimsky-Korsakov. The Great Kat shreds Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart at insane speeds on both guitar and violin and proves why she is the only Classical music maniac since Mozart himself!
The Goddess Of Metal shreds Mozart's "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" and "The Marriage Of Figaro Overture" on Shred Metal guitar and then on Classical violin. Chef Great Kat whips up a little dessert, baking Amadeus' favourite German apple strudel. The Great Kat's stunning "Mozart Mashup" with both Classical and Metal versions mashed up at Mozartian levels of genius will leave you floored. Mozart's protégé, Ludwig van Beethoven, even makes a special guest appearance, along with Paganini and Rimsky-Korsakov.
The Great Kat is known as the Goddess of Metal and shreds at lightning speed on both guitar & violin with entertainment and excitement.

The debut full-length album by Spanish Death/Thrash Metal band.
With an unapologetic high-energy attack, The Hole bring forth a tasty, total assault on your ears with "A Monument To The End Of The World". It's refreshing to see that there are still bands lying in the Underground who produce a testament of crushing Metal such as is heard on the aforementioned title. The punishing quartet from the Canary Islands are prepared to grab you face-first and thrust you into a submissive fit of headbanging!
The combination of Death, Thrash, and Melodic Black Metal creates an exciting variety of aggressive styles in those songs and is present throughout the whole of the album. You have pulsating percussive blastbeats, reliable riffs, scintillating solos, and a steady time signature that appealed to my analytic brain. The vocals, though definitely harsh, did not seem repetitive, nor a rip-off of the style of another band in the same category. Everything about this album said "raw, fresh power", leaving no crowd in the imagery of mind without the urge to open up the f****ng pit!
Though energetic, there is an obvious tone of haunting nature concurrent with the theme of this album as one could surmise from the title. Everything is done perfectly from the production to the album cover. This album definitely serves as a fantastic "Monument To The End Of The World"!

Debut full-length album by Danish Gothic Metal/Rock band.
The only one album by Kim Larsen's band. The Loveless were made up of Kim Larsen (Of The Wand And The Moon), Brian Hansen, and Jesper Saltoft, who collectively had left their previous band Saturnus in 2000, just before the release of their celebrated album "Martyre". Because of this cast, the band's debut album "Star Rover" was highly anticipated. On "Star Rover", the three musicians deliver nine brilliant Gothic-Metal/Rock tracks influenced by artists as diverse as Katatonia, The Cure, HIM, Sort Sol, and Seigmen - but all that with a sound never heard from Denmark before.

Remastered re-release on CD of the debut full-length album by American Thrash Metal band.
Previously known as Rapture (a name they really should have kept!), this reissue brings the one and only Moshketeers album back to life. Originally released in 1992, this album gets new cover artwork and adds a variety of bonus tracks. The Moshketeers were one of Christian Metal underground bands most reveled "secrets". "The Downward Spiral" was independently released on cassette only. Finally in 2010 Roxx Records secured the rights to reissue this gem upon a suspecting world!
First of all, 'The Downward Spiral' is just as good as the rumors would have it! The bands brand of Thrash Metal is unlike any band you've ever heard, yet it's well rooted in the American Thrash Metal scene of the late '80's. The band’s name, and their Bermuda shorts-clad looks leads the mind toward some of the bands that mixed Thrash Metal with Hardcore and humor, like Anthrax, S.O.D. or M.O.D.. And while the former of those bands can somewhat serve as a pinpoint towards The Moshketeers Thrash Metal sound; they are as different as they are similar.
Re-edition contains five bonus tracks!

The second full-length studio album by Spanish Classic Rock band.
The Mothercrow conjures up the sound and striking appearance of the classic four-piece from the Golden Age of Rock, with sonic ideals stretching from late sixties Blues Rock and Psychedelia, to late seventies Hard Rock and Proto-Heavy Metal.
Regardless of what you decide to call them, powerful voice and wild stage antics of frontwoman Karen Asensio, combined with Max Eriksson’s relentless guitar riffs, and the tight, thundering rhythm section that is Jaume Darder (drums) and Daniel Ribeiro (bass), makes for an explosive cocktail that guarantees to leave no one indifferent.
The band has enlisted the expertise of Robert Pehrsson (Tribulation, Black Paisley, Hazemaze, Märvel) for mixing at Humbucker Studios in Sweden. The final touch comes with mastering by Magnus Lindberg (Hellacopters, Refused, Russian Circles, Lucifer) at Redmount Studios.

The debut full-length studio album by German Folk/Power Metal band.
The music varies a little between Folk Metal and traditional Heavy Metal, with a slightly greater trend to
Folk. The Privateer delight with good songwriting ideas, exclusively fine melodies, catchy hooks and the creation of an ever exciting atmosphere. A great album that is welcome no matter if you prefer Heavy, Power or Pirate Metal, it's having the characters of it all. There are fierce and dramatic vocals, accurate violin and guitar melodies, and a great sense for timing and song composing.
Every host is warmly recommended booking Privateer, cause when it comes to party and drink sales, you won't hardly find anything more promising!

The second full-length studio album by German Folk/Power Metal band.
While people usually think of Alestorm when the term "Pirate Metal", there is obviously more than just this band. The Privateer doesn’t sound like Alestorm, not at all! It’s a mix of melodic Death Metal, acoustic passages, here and there are some influences of classic Heavy Metal, and of course some elements of Folk Metal, where the violin plays the lead role.
No song is the same, and they found a good balance between harsher, pounding songs and acoustic, atmospheric songs. In result, an album that keeps your attention and it stays interesting during the playtime of almost an hour.
"Monolith" is a decent record, with songs that are going to be a success when played live. Nice for those fans of pirates!

The sixth full-length studio album by legendary British Electronic Music band.
The album was written and recorded largely while on tour, in various hotel rooms around the world, on flights, at the Prodigy's private studio at Tileyard Studios as well as mixed at SARM. The entire recording process took almost six years taking in a number of studios and a few restarts to establish that "angry, energetic sound". Unlike previous efforts, "The Day Is My Enemy" marks the first time that band members Maxim and Keith Flint have been actively involved in the songwriting process. 
Due to a general lack of interest in albums and the time spent in making them, "The Day Is My Enemy" was initially speculated by the band to be their last album as they would shift towards releasing EPs, however the band would sign a worldwide record publishing deal with BMG Rights Management in September 2017, and released a follow-up album "No Tourists" in 2018.
In contrast to their two previous albums, critical response to "The Day Is My Enemy" was positive. The album debuted at No. 1 in the UK Albums Chart, making it the band's sixth consecutive record to have reached the top of the chart.

Third full-length album by Spanish Melodic Death Metal band.
Hailing from the North of Portugal their reputation as one of the country's finest exports is well-deserved. With 10 solid years of underground activity, they naturally became the Portuguese flagship of Melodic Death Metal.
Surfacing in 2001 with a four-track demo, "Chaotic", The Ransack commenced with four individuals. "Necropolis", the band's official debut, saw the light of day in 2004 and immediately caused a major positive stir in the Metal underground. Undergoing a small line-up change, the band entered the Ultrasound Studios at Braga and created "Azrael", one of the 2007's most intense and remarkable Metal releases in the Portuguese Metal scene. In 2009, the band once again entered the Ultrasound Studios to bring to light "Vortex", stating the band as one of the most successful extreme bands of the Iberian Peninsula.
At the beginning of 2011, The Ransack pushed themselves one step further by raising the bar in terms of song writing and production, and returning with their most powerful yet melodic album ever, "Bloodline"!
