CD

Second full-length album by the Finnish Symphonic Pagan Folk Viking Metal band.
Finland?s wildest horde takes the music scene by assault with their new opus of intriguing battle hymns! An inspired conceptual masterwork that transcends all sub-styles within the heavier metal worlds, blending classically-inspired arrangements and orchestration, savage rhythmic metal fury with hook lines and bombast aplenty.
It is a concept album that tells the story of a group of Scandinavians traveling the river routes of medieval Russia, through Ladoga, Novgorod and Kiev, down to the Byzantine Empire.

The seventh DVD by legendary American Rock'n'Roll/Glam/Heavy Metal/Hard Rock band.
Twisted Sister’s 2006 album “A Twisted Christmas” was the surprise runaway hit of the holiday season, featuring Christmas classics reimagined in a way only Twisted Sister could do it. But to bring this show to the stage, it needed that extra something.
Wellcome to “A Twisted X-Mas: Live In Las Vegas”! This is the most Twisted of stage shows, one that combines a Twisted Sister show with the wicked version of what you would see at Radio Music City Hall at holiday time: featuring elves that Santa should have capt in the bag room, some lovely helpers from Santa’s workshop and, of course, the music. Blending a mix of songs from “A Twisted Christmas” with Twisted classics like “We’re Not Gonna Take It”, “I Wanna Rock” and “Burn In Hell”, this is truly a Twisted X-Mas show!
This Twisted pakage features a DVD and CD of the concert, the full audio-video experience!!

Remastered re-release of the second compilation album by the legendary American Rock‘n’Roll/Glam/Heavy Metal/Hard Rock band.
Compilation of rare or never released studio versions of original songs that Twisted Sister performed while playing the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut club circuit from 1978-1981.
"Rock will live tomorrow, but disco has to die today" - the line sung by a young and defiant Dee Snider during "Rock 'N' Roll Saviors" in 1978 summed up much about the fiercely independent approach that Twisted Sister would take after he joined the band in 1976. Originally billing itself as the New Jersey version of the New York Dolls and covering Glam classics of the day after Jay Jay French formed the act in 1972, it would be Snider's entry that breathed new life into Twisted SIister. Snider's larger-than-life stage presence, enormous songwriting contributions, and his urging to retain the Glam roots/image but move into a Harder Rock and, ultimately, Heavy Metal direction would result in Twisted Sister becoming kings of the club circuit and set the stage for later commercial successes. Those stories and more are contained in the extensive liner notes included with this second reissue of "Club Daze Volume I: The Studio Sessions", a 13-track collection of songs recorded in 1978-1979 and 1981 ("Shoot 'Em Down") that offer new fans a view into the Rock 'n Roll roots and old fans a chance to revisit lost classics.
Those only familiar with the '80s output may be surprised to hear the staunch 1970s Rock and Hard Rock sounds characteristic of many of these songs. Cuts like "Follow Me", "Can't Stand Still", and the sizzling "Lady's Boy" are reminiscent to varying degrees of everyone from Ted Nugent and The Amboy Dukes (and similar Detroit Rock acts) and Chuck Berry to T. Rex and Brownsville Station. AC/DC was an admitted influence on Snider, the fat bass/drum propulsion and basic riffing also noticeable, while Slade figured in to Glam shaded, Pop-influenced cuts like "I'll Never Grow Up, Now", which would hint at the hooks 'n attitude sound the band perfected in the 80s. Also included is the original, rougher-edged cover version of "Leader Of The Pack", which would later show up on 1985's "Come Out And Play" to a less than enthusiastic fan response. "Under The Blade" and "Shoot 'Em Down" were most indicative of the Metal direction in which the band was headed, both tracks ending up on debut full-length "Under The Blade".
Depending on your completist proclivities, "Club Daze Volume I: The Studio Sessions" is a nicely packaged collection of some pretty darn good '70s Rock tunes that probably escaped the radar of many fans outside of the New York/New Jersey area. Those Twisted Sister fans that missed the 1999 Spitfire of the album are strongly advised to snap up this Armoury remaster!

The second re-release of the third full-length studio album by legendary American Glam/Heavy Metal band.
With their comedic videos and bubblegum undertones, hit singles "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock" helped the band bridge the "beauty gap" into MTV acceptance, and a competent power ballad in "The Price" would cement their consumer-friendly status. But it was the irrefutable menace of tracks like "The Beast", "S.M.F.", and the massive "Burn in Hell" that connected with their loyal fans and displayed Twisted Sister's true power.
According to RIAA certification, "Stay Hungry" is the band's most successful album by far and the only certified Platinum. Eventually the album gained multi-Platinum status with U.S. sales of more than 3.000.000 copies by 1995.
Metal Rules ranked the album #5 on their list of the "Top 50 Glam Metal Albums". In 2016, Loudwire ranked the album at number 6 on their list of the "Top 30 Hair Metal Albums". In 2017, Rolling Stone listed the album at No. 76 on its list of the "100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time".
In 2004, the band re-recorded all nine songs from this album and re-released them under the title “Still Hungry”.
This 25th Anniversary Edition re-release includes a Bonus Disc with 16 previously unreleased tracks and 2 new recordings!

Remastered re-release of the second full-length studio album by legendary American Glam/Heavy Metal band.
From the solid sales of their independently released debut album, 1982's "Under The Blade", New York's Twisted Sister were finally rewarded with a major record label contract, courtesy of the Atlantic, who issued their first domestic release, "You Can't Stop Rock & Roll", a year later.
The album followed the same Raw Heavy Metal direction of their debut, and was even more consistent from a songwriting and performance standpoint. The title track is a new recording of the track "Can't Stop Rock And Roll" which appeared on the compilation "Son Of Homegrown" in 1982.
Several of Twisted Sister's best anthems reside her, the title track (which was one of the band's first videos to be aired on MTV), as well as "The Kids Are Back", "We're Gonna Make It", and "I Am (I'm Me)". But besides a ballad that vocalist Dee Snider wrote especially for his wife, "You're Not Alone (Suzette's Song)", the album consists of 100 percent Heavy Metal - "Like a Knife in the Back", "Ride to Live, Live to Ride", "I've Had Enough", and "I'll Take You Alive".
The songs "The Kids Are Back", "I Am (I'm Me)," and the album's title track were released as Singles. The album was certified Gold by the RIAA in November 1995, for selling over 500,000 copies in the USA. Metal-rules.com put the album in their list of "The Top 100 Heavy Metal Albums" and on their list of "The Top 50 Glam Metal Albums".

The fourth full-length album by the American Melodic Hard Rock/AOR band.
If you’re the kind of fan of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s Melodic Rock scene that still follows the bands all these years later, you’re no doubt aware of the fact that the original Tyketto lineup is back together and has a new album out. Tyketto’s latest, titled "Dig In Deep" is their first album since 1995’s "Shine". It’s not "Shine" that Tyketto has to follow-up here though. With the original lineup – Danny Vaughn, Brooke St. James, Jimi Kennedy and Michael Clayton – intact, fans are looking for an album that is worthy of 1991’s "Don’t Come Easy" and 1994’s "Strength In Numbers", two of the best Melodic Rock albums that decade had to offer.
The band members haven’t exactly been sitting idle these past two decades. Vocalist Danny Vaughn in particular has maintained a successful solo career as well as his From The Inside side-project. As a result, "Dig in Deep" sounds like what it is, the work of seasoned veterans who are older and wiser, but no less optimistic than they were back in 1991. It’s not as instantly memorable as "Don’t Come Easy" was, with its dynamite hooks and radio-ready singles, but "Dig In Deep" definitely has the Tyketto spirit, especially in the lyrics. You hear it the most on the album’s Harder Rocking songs, like the dynamic opener “Faithless” and the stomping “The Fight Left in Me”, which features some blistering guitar work from St. James and could have come straight from "Strength In Numbers". The rest of the album alternates between the kind of mid-tempo melodic rockers and Eagles-like slower songs you’d find on one of Danny Vaughn’s solo albums. That’s not a bad thing, given how good a songwriter Vaughn is, but at the same time songs like “Here’s Hoping It Hurts” and “Monday” don’t stand out clearly as Tyketto songs.
We’re not getting another "Don’t Come Easy" here, but that was probably an unreasonable expectation in the first place. What we are getting in "Dig In Deep" is a smooth Melodic Rock album with a solid Rock 'n' Roll backbone, real heart and soul, top-notch musicianship and vocals to die for, and that’s not a bad deal at all. "Dig In Deep" is a welcome comeback from one of the best, and most consistently overlooked, bands in Melodic Rock! Tyketto return with a stellar album for AOR and early 90’s Rock fans around the world. Sounding as if they found a time machine back to 1991 the band puts out a devastatingly brilliant release!!

The 30th Anniversary Edition re-release of the third full-length studio album by legendary American Gothic/Doom Metal band.
This album combines melancholy beauty, found in songs such as “Christian Woman”, common Metal brutality, found in songs such as “Too Late: Frozen”, and even Hardcore influenced craziness found in songs such as “We Hate Everyone”, which fuses 80s Hardcore/Punk with a Doom Metal midsection with the greatest of ease. Harsh Metal vocals and screams here, Peter Steele manages to galvanize the Gothic atmosphere by adding a nearly inhumane vocal sound to the mix.
This is probably their Darkest, Doomiest release. It's definitely their most Goth release, though. Peter Steele is certainly no mall Goth type person, and it's funny how he pokes fun at those types with “Black No. 1”. A fan of any form of extreme music be it Metal or Hardcore can probably find something that they like on this album since this album manages to fuse all these different types of music together and then envelop it in a Gothic atmosphere. It is certainly their darkest, most depressive release.
"Bloody Kisses" comes the first album on Roadrunner Records to ever reach Gold and Platinum status.
Strongly recommended to Doom fans, Goth fans and Metal fans in general!
2009 remastered, re-edition includes 23-page booklet and second disc with 7 bonus tracks.
This is a misprint version, which is listed 8 bonus tracks on packaging and in notes, but track 5 “Christian Woman (Butt-Kissing, Sell-Out Version)” is not included in this release.

The second re-release of the seventh and the final full-length studio album by legendary American Gothic/Doom Metal band.
Album was released before the death of frontman Peter Steele.
The band uses studio drums instead of a drum machine for the first time since their third album, "Bloody Kisses". Thus, it remains the only Type O Negative studio album with Johnny Kelly's actual playing, as he was only "credited" as the drummer on the three albums prior to "Dead Again".
Unbelievably heavy Sludge riffs are still a main ingredient, as well as singer Pete Steele's ongoing "Kill me, I'm in agony" lyrics, and vocals that sometimes sound quite Bela Lugosi-esque. The album-opening title track may very well be the most melodic song the band has ever recorded, but the Type O Negative we all know and love is lurking right around the bend, especially on such tracks as "The Profits of Doom" (the album's original working title), "She Burned Me Down," and "An Ode to Locksmiths," the latter of which contains a guitar riff so Tony Iommi-esque that it sounds straight off of "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath".
The cover photo is a portrayal of Grigori Rasputin, the Russian mystic and associate of Tsar Nicholas II. The photograph on the back was taken in 1906, showing four young women of the Tsarist family, identified left to right as Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatiana, Maria, and Anastasia Nikolaevna. The lettering is in a faux-Cyrillic font.
Reception for this album was quite positive among fans and critics, and received the highest chart position for the band yet.
With "Dead Again", Type O Negative delivers another album of dark tales and even darker riffs, and will reassure morose metalheads that they can still count on Steele to spread the misery.
15th Anniversary re-release features 16-page booklet and Bonus Disc with ten live tracks.

Re-release of the debut full-length studio album by legendary American Gothic/Thrash/Hardcore/Doom Metal band.
The album, originally titled "None More Negative" and released in 1990 under the band's former name Repulsion, launched the band's career.
"Slow, Deep And Hard" is a darkly humorous, semi-autobiographical album with tracks 1, 3, 4 and 7 based on a failed relationship of vocalist/bass guitarist Peter Steele. The album's other tracks are "Der Untermensch" (Steele's controversial critique of people, frequently immigrants, abusing the American welfare system), "Glass Walls of Limbo (Dance Mix)" (a facetiously titled Ambient Industrial soundscape) and "The Misinterpretation of Silence and its Disastrous Consequences" (a literal minute of silence).
In keeping with the band's notable humour, the album's cover artwork is a blurred image of sexual penetration.

The albums are neatly packaged together in one place, giving the listener a blistering slice of Metal history, and an in-depth look at each band's evolution.
Type O Negative's Goth Metal sound grew from Thrashy beginnings over the course of several records until the 2010 death of band founder and vocalist Pete Steele. "The Complete Roadrunner Collection 1991-2003" collects the lion's share of the band's best-loved material, beginning with its morally questionable earliest albums "Slow, Deep and Hard" and the fake live album "The Origin Of The Feces". Transitioning from thickheaded misogyny and Shock Rock Metal tactics on these albums, the set includes the more sophisticated musicianship of 1993's "Bloody Kisses" and 1996's "October Rust" as well as latter-day albums "World Coming Down" and "Life Is Killing Me".

The third re-release of the second full-length studio album by legendary American Gothic/Thrash/Hardcore/Doom Metal band.
Type O Negative has always had a strange and twisted sense of humour. But nowhere is this more obvious than on this album. They have given us some strange liner notes at times, but this album really is the go-to point if you want to tell someone how weird this band is.
The album was designed to mimic a live performance, with fake audience noise and comedic interruptions like a staged bomb threat, satirizing a previous tour controversy. The initial release featured an extreme close-up of an anus, reportedly belonging to frontman Peter Steele. Later reissues feature different cover art, such as a stylized "Dance of Death" painting.
Now, the craziest part about this album is that it is supposed to be a live album, because the band's label Roadrunner had it written in the contract that Type O Negative was to record a live album. However, the band allegedly took the money they were supposed to spend on producing the live album on cheap vodka instead. Realizing they needed to fulfil their contractual obligations, the band simply re-recorded their debut album, "Slow Deep And Hard", added a couple of songs and retitled some other songs and then added fake crowd noise… But they did not stop there. It would be too easy to simply add in crowd noise. No, Type O Negative added in chants of "You Suck!" and improvised a fight between Steele and the fans, with Steele yelling "You suck too" at one point in the album and then making fun of the crowd because he's getting paid to play, and the crowd had to pay to get in. At about the midway point, the band claimed it had to stop playing because there was a bomb threat in the concert hall. After a few seconds of silence, they began playing again…
Beyond the insanity of the fake crowd, the music is very impressive, and it does sound as if they are playing live. The first seven tracks are the fake concert, and then the band adds in a very interesting cover of the Black Sabbath classic "Paranoid" for the final track.
The musicianship is tight and is held together well despite the often changing tempos. Type O Negative will never be mistaken for an incredibly musically talented act. But that is okay, because the band plays just well enough to sound fine playing the style of music they play. They have always been able to write long, multipart epic songs and this has been their best musical quality. Here, for example, we have the fifteen-minute opener "I Know You're Fucking Someone Else", which lays the groundwork for the rest of the album. The band's style is a form of Gothic Metal, incorporating various influences such as Black Sabbath and The Beatles. They take those influences and slow them down and twist them to form a sound that is unlike any other band. The track "Hey Peter" is a rearranging of the Jimi Hendrix song "Hey Joe" about a jealous lover ready to kill his cheating girlfriend. Here, Peter Steele replaces the gun with an axe. The last track is a morosely slow adaptation of the Black Sabbath classic "Paranoid". Somehow, the band stretches it out more than twice as long as the original.
Overall, this is a very fun listen. The humour involved keeps things light and interesting, despite the very dark subject. At all, Type O Negative never did record a real live album.
Remastered reissue with a new artwork.

Debut and only full-length album by Mexican Progressive Power/Folk Metal band.
7 songs of Mexican deep-obscure band, singing in English with a strong good lead vocal a-la Hansi Kürsch. Good work you to listen hurtling melodic Power that takes into account the indigenous melodies of Aztec civilization!
It's almost pure Power Metal, infused with some indigenous elements in the rhythm and also a return of the flute here and there, with Carlos G.T.’s high and a little peculiar (his timbre), but quite original voice over it. The whole undertaking is a little hampered by the sound, which lacks a bit of clarity and breathes more the air of the 80s, but at the same time it gives Tzompanti’s music some earthy authenticity that actually is a welcome change to the many sterile and slick productions of late.
Overall variety definitely is not a problem for band, as they cleverly vary speeds and intensity throughout and in-between the songs.
Tzompanti’s debut effort is a more than remarkable release from Mexico and should find the open ears of quite a few fans of Power Metal!
Awesome Mexican Power/Thrash/Progressive/Folk Metal for fans of Blind Guardian!!

The seventeenth full-length studio album by legendary German Heavy Metal band.
One of the most elaborate concept albums the market has ever seen, combining U.D.O.’s hard rocking sound with a 60-piece orchestra, creating a wholly unique worldwide musical project!
“We Are One” was written in collaboration with the official Concert Band of the German Armed Forces (Musikkorps der Bundeswehr) under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Christoph Scheibling and is a wholly unique worldwide musical project. The album contains 15 new songs that have been developed and arranged by U.D.O. together with Christoph Scheibling. The two former Accept musicians, Stefan Kaufmann and Peter Baltes, have been part of the songwriting too – as well as the German Armed Forces´ composers Guido Rennert and Alexander Reuber
"We Are One" is one of the most elaborate concept albums the market has ever seen, not to be compared with the `Rock band meets orchestra‘ collaborations that already exist in the music world. The Hard Rocking sound of U.D.O. has not only been intensified by a 60-piece orchestra, but contains some unique arrangements that underline how characteristic yet versatile U.D.O. is. This project surprises the listener in every aspect, and is a project with a clear statement: "We Are One" is a critical reflection of a world in which we all leave our mark, and in which we all have to show responsibility.
Udo Dirkschneider about the message behind the songs: “We all live on this planet. No matter who we are or what we do, we all just have this one planet!”

The fourth re-release of the debut full-length studio album by legendary German Heavy Metal band.
Fans of Accept should enjoy the first solo album from lead singer Udo Dirkschneider, which employs all the crushing power of that band's Teutonic Metal sound without the latent Pop influences.
Udo's unmistakable howl leads the charge on “Animal House”, while his backing band does an uncanny job of copying Accept's immaculate Metal crunch. Of course, the fact that all the songs were written by Accept and producer Deaffy may have something to do with the familiarity of the sound. With killer cuts like "Lay Down The Law", "Black Widow" and the title track, Udo Dirkschneider and co are out to prove that their dominance in the Heavy Metal world is no fluke.
U.D.O. strikes terror into the hearts of false Metal prophets by releasing arguably the best Heavy Metal album in the past decade!  This is really one of the best U.D.O.'s albums, if not the best!!
25th Anniversary Edition remastered re-release includes three live bonus tracks and two videos.
