Description

The sixth full-length album by the American Heavy/Power Metal band.
The kings of Power Metal are back!!
Who said CD artwork is dead? Don’t tell Cage mainman Sean Peck, as this brightly colored, comic book styled lyric sheet and cover (depicting Odin, the Grim Reaper and Satan watching over a Cage concert) is the antithesis of the digital download age. Hats off to artist Marco Sasso, who has worked for Marvel Comics. Then there’s the music, a non-stop eardrum pummeling of aggressive, twin guitars and Peck squealing, belching and King Diamond imitating his way through a dozen numbers that most definitely would incite cardiac arrest, should the San Diego outfit get the brilliant idea of ever performing this album in its entirety!
The guitar wall is incredible. Sean Peck goes all-out here, and guitarists Dave Garcia and Steve Brogden riff and shred away like there’s no tomorrow.
Unlike the great “Hell Destroyer”, “Supremacy Of Steel” is not a concept album but rather a loose collection of fist-banging Heavy/Power Metal tunes with that ever-present Thrashy vibe thrown in. As always, the lyrics touch on a wide range of topics: some fictional, others historical, like US Civil War and a paean to WWII aircraft. On the other hand, is simply in praise of the music we all love.
If you have a couple of faded Maiden, Priest, Dio and Metal Church shirts in your closet you should go grab this one right away! This is simply Metal, the balls-to-the-wall type that has the Priest’s “Painkiller” coursing relentlessly through every vein.
With "Supremacy Of Steel" we have a new masterwork in Metal with killer riffs, killer drums, killer vocals still keeping the style of the band alive but sounding different from album to album!! Hail and Kill!!!
Track 12 "Skinned Alive" is the European bonus track.
On the back cover of the CD is given as 2012 production year, although it was published on 25.11.2011 in Germany.

Description

Remastered re-rlease of the third full-length studio album by legendary Swedish Epic Doom Metal band.
Massively influential album from the pioneers of Epic Doom Metal. "Ancient Dreams" featured a natural progression of slow-mid tempo epic arrangements from their previous release, "Nightfall" (perhaps even more distinction between slow and faster parts) with the unique tones & unmistakable voice of Messiah Marcolin, still dominating proceedings on this pure Doom Metal classic. Outstanding tracks like "Mirror Mirror", "Darkness in Paradise", "The Bells of Acheron", and "Bearer of Pain" combine sluggish, staccato riffs with surprisingly memorable choruses delivered by Messiah Marcolin, with his trademark vibrato overload.
Majestic and sorrowful, melodic and powerful, Sweden’s finest export! Eight songs, eight anthems, eight wonderful expressions of gloom with stunning riffs and vocals from the throat of an angel from heaven, come down to warn us mere mortals of the error of our ways. Never has a singer’s name been so appropriate as Messiah Marcolin’s, here on just his second full-length with the band, but already a vital part of the line-up. He’s one of Doom’s greatest voices, the perfect vocal accompaniment to what the genre says with its music, and you’re caught in his vocal grasps with each utterance, unable to tear your attention away.
We have to praise the rest of the band too, of course, especially guitarists Lars Johansson and Mats Björkman, whose pounding riffage takes the almost celestial opening to first track, "Mirror Mirror", and gives it a Heavy Metal drive. The almost stoner stomp of "The Bells of Acheron" is just as wonderful, complete with tolling bells. As those with past knowledge of Master Edling’s skills will know, however, the songwriting is typically beyond solid here. The slow trudge of "A Cry From The Crypt" providing a perfect post-Sabbathian pounding with seemingly minutes of lovely soloing. The glorious gloom of "Darkness In Paradise", the operatic invocations of "Incarnation Of Evil", the chilling misery of "Bearer Of Pain"... few bands can manage to write such consistently excellent music on adjacent albums, let alone creating such a solid run as Candlemass do here. With a perfect balance between melody and sheer heaviness, it is still debatable whether this is the ultimate Candlemass and therefore greatest Doom Metal album of all time... some giving this particular title preference over the seminal "Nightfall" album.
"Epistle 81" (Märk hur vår skugga) was written by Swedish poet/musician Carl Michael Bellman (1740 – 1795). "Incarnation of Evil" is actually a reworked version of the old Nemesis track "Black Messiah". * The cover art of the album is a painting made by Thomas Cole, second in his series, "The Voyage of Life", entitled "Youth". * Ancient Dreams was the first Candlemass album to chart in the US, debuting at No. 174 on the Billboard 200 album chart.
The ultimate compliment you could give Candlemass, is that they are a worthy successor to Black Sabbath, taking the legends’ crown and becoming Gods of Doom in their own right. They’re certainly a band that demand more respect than they receive, and "Ancient Dreams" is an excellent slice of Doom that all gloombahs need to own and love!!

Description

Remastered re-rlease of the debut full-length studio album by legendary Swedish Epic Doom Metal band.
The album title "Epicus Doomicus Metallicus" is a dog latin translation rendering of Epic Doom Metal – the genre which the band helped pioneer and with which it is most commonly identified.
"Epicus Doomicus Metallicus" is a true classic. Heavy Metal riffs blended with almost Neoclassical touches, plus some theatrical elements, bringing to mind bands like Mercyful Fate. On its release, the album had a significantly different sound than other European Heavy Metal bands of the time, because of their use of operatic vocals mixed over slow and heavy guitar riffs. The album did not sell well on its initial release, which led to the band being dropped from the Black Dragon Records during the same year. Upon release, "Epicus Doomicus Metallicus" was met with universal critical acclaim, and since its release it has been looked upon as a cornerstone of Doom Metal. Candlemass instantly became a great inspiration to countless Metal bands upon the album’s release in 1986; a time when Thrash Metal, not Doom, was fast becoming the dominant style in both Europe and the US. All-in-all, this is considered one of the definitive Doom Metal releases. Bands such as Paradise Lost and My Dying Bride to this day rate "Epicus..." among their most inspirational albums.
The vocals were handled by Johan Längqvist, before the iconic vocalist Messiah Marcolin became a solid fixture in the band until the early nineties. Although he was actually a guest musician at the time of its recording, this was the only Candlemass album to feature vocalist Johan Längqvist until he joined the band, officially, in 2018.
This is one of the quintessential, definitive Doom Metal releases, immortalizing the band in the annals of music history & creating the foundations of a legacy spanning over thirty-five years. Going against the grain of bands at the time using speed to bolster their Metal with the ongoing rise of Thrash Metal in Europe & the US, Candlemass eschewed this direction and formed a phenomenon of their own through the latter part of the decade and beyond, with their slow and spellbinding atmospherics. A pillar of classic '80s Metal, this album will satisfy not only Doomsters, but any Metal maniac in the world!! The grand diamond of all times!!!

Description

The eleventh full-length studio album by legendary Swedish Epic Doom Metal band.
At the time of its release, the band stated that this would be their final album, though bassist and founding member Leif Edling has since retracted this claim. "Psalms For The Dead" is, however, the last Candlemass album recorded with former Solitude Aeturnus singer Robert Lowe, who left the Candlemass just six days before its release.
As an album to sum up an illustrious career, "Psalms For The Dead" provides enough of what you would expect from Candlemass. One can confidently state that "Psalms For The Dead" sees Candlemass going out, if not on a high, certainly in strong health, and obviously on their own terms. The release is filled with such highlights as "Dancing in the Temple of the Mad Queen Bee" or the sweeping opening track "Prophet", which beautifully showcases the band's strengths. Singer Robert Lowe embellishes the songs with his characteristic vocals and sounds as though he has been a part of Candlemass from the band's early beginnings. The powerful and crystal-clear production delivers a first-class sound that will send shivers down one's spine. All in all, it's quite a remarkable display of songwriting skill for sheer variation alone, but each song is a killer with something unique to offer, each a stellar Doom Metal anthem.
A collection of excellent tunes that grips from the first listen and proves its quality more on every listen! The masters have done their best once again, and they can retire knowing that Candlemass has gone out on a high!!

Description

First re-release of the ninth full-length studio album by legendary American Brutal Death Metal band.
The last studio album to feature Jack Owen, one of the band's founding members, and up to 2012's "Torture", the last with an album cover depicting violence and gore. Also is Cannibal Corpse's fourth album to be named after one of the tracks on the album, after "Butchered At Birth", The Bleeding" and "Gallery Of Suicide".
For album number nine Cannibal Corpse continues with much the same style of gore-themed Death Metal that had made them a mainstay of the stateside scene for a decade-and-a-half. Bassist Alex Webster and guitarist Jack Owen write most of the songs here, respectively, and those songs are pretty much, what you've come to expect from Cannibal Corpse by this point - musically pulverizing and lyrically unsettling. Vocalist George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher is as unrelenting as usual, especially on such songs as "Frantic Disembowelment", where he switches from growling to screaming with seeming ease.
"Wretched Spawn" is overall a pretty brief album, clocking in just under 45 minutes, as few of the 13 songs break the four-minute mark. The title track is an exception, as are the lumbering "Festering in the Crypt" and the Thrashing album-closer, "They Deserve to Die", - these three longer songs being some of the more interesting ones here, given their unique characteristics. Most of the others are rather straight-ahead Death Metal blasts, and while they're on the mark stylistically, they may seem a bit workmanlike to longtime fans who have heard all this before.
Unlike more memorable albums such as "Tomb Of The Mutilated" (1992) and "Bleeding" (1994) where the band took its music to another level, "Wretched Spawn" is simply Cannibal Corpse continuing on with their trademark mayhem, seemingly confined by or content with their own musical boundaries, for better or worse. But you'll surely find much delight here!!

Description

The first re-release of the debut full-length studio album by cult German Heavy/Power/Speed Metal band.
Capricorn from Germany was formed in 1991 from the ashes of Speed/Thrash Metal band Grinder, founded in 1985 in Frankfurt. Grinder released "Dawn For The Living" (1988) and "Dead End" (1989) on No Remorse Records, before joining Noise Records for "Nothing Is Sacred" (1991). The band changed their name because they lost a record-deal and the members did not find an agreement on the band's future. Another reason was a losing of guitarist Lario Teklic, took his own life, than the rest of the band chose to change their name. They choose the moniker of Capricorn as the sound was both conceptually and stylistically far from Grinder.
Capricorn line-up was: Adrian Hahn on bass and vocals, David Hofmann on guitar and Stefan Arnold (later joined Grave Digger) on drums. After a demo with six songs, the band reached a record deal with Shark Records. On this label, the self-titled strong debut album was recorded at the T&T studio in 1993, with producer Wolfgang Stach.
Contrary to the declared intention, the debut of Capricorn did not reveal a significant change of style. In terms of heaviness and speed, the album was readily comparable to the final output of Grinder. Furthermore, Adrian's strong vocals built a bridge between the two bands. To put it in positive terms, Adrian and Stefan stayed true to themselves. However, the production marked a perceptible improvement. It was definitely more powerful than that of Grinder's "Nothing Is Sacred". Especially the voluminous guitar sound did not lack of pressure, but all instruments - including the vocals - appeared in the right light. Thus, the prerequisites were given to enthuse the listeners with some punchy Speed/Power Metal pieces. "Mr. Vorhees" was the album's mainstream hit that was played a lot of times in a pub in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, the city from which the band originated. Then the band toured Germany in 1994 with Grave Digger.
This situation was reminiscent of that of Grinder. But Capricorn did not give up yet. Their second album was in the making.

The fourth full-length album by the legendary British Melodic Death Metal/Death 'n' Roll band.
"Heartwork" marks Carcass' return after the self-imposed hiatus that followed 1991's "Necroticism: Descanting The Insalubrious". It's also the pioneering Grindcore outfit's breakthrough release, successfully grafting melody onto the existing muscle of Carcass' punishing antimusic.
After a blistering opening salvo, the title track decelerates into a mid-tempo guitar lead, only to shift gears into a meaty verse that suggests the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. "Carnal Forge" and "Arbeit Macht Fleisch" are compacted with intricate, overlapping riffs that are relentless in their move forward, and yet there's still a sense of structure and melody, buried somewhere amid the carnage. Jeff Walker's vocals are consistent in their throat-ripping fierceness throughout the record, especially on "This Is Your Life", which messes with mixing to make the track truly arresting if listened to with headphones.
While of normal album length, "Heartwork" nevertheless seems over too quickly, as if its bloodthirsty front end bit off its own backside. Some purists might decry its melodic breaks for soloing or nods toward conventional structure. But "Heartwork" is that rare album that so carefully dissects and reconstructs its original form that its additional body parts seem like they were there all along.
Sure, "Heartwork" shocked the fanbase to its pyosisified core, but Carcass - who had spent their youngest years gurgling Gore (and forcing longhairs to the dictionary) with “Regurgitation of Giblets”, “Crepitating Bowel Erosion” and “Lavaging Expectorate of Lysergide Composition” - had quantum-leaped the scene they called home for good reason. They wanted to move on. By their fourth album, Carcass had reinvented Death Metal!
Basically, this is one of those albums that a fan of Metal should just own, but to say that "Heartwork" is Carcass' masterpiece would be unfair, because it's just one of them!!

Description

Second re-release of the debut full-length album by the legendary British Goregrind/Grindcore band.
Carcass started out as a spin-off of the first Grindcore band ever emerged from the underground, namely Napalm Death. In fact, former Napalm Death member Bill Steer left the band to entirely dedicate himself to his new creature. Therefore, it's quite obvious that on the first Carcass album you can expect a Napalm Death-style Grindcore: noisy, fast and simple off-rhythm structures played with sloppy attitude, but still loud and brutal. Sure, all the aforementioned elements are present, but here we definitely have more than that.
Carcass pushes the nihilism of early Death Metal to the extreme consequences, surmounting the white noise borderline, but in a quite interesting manner. Despite the simplicity of the playing, the musicians prove to be very ingenious, working throughout the songs' phrases to put together a bunch of indiscernible guitar riffs and single-step double-bass-drumming which incredibly end up being focused. The tempos, though mostly built on bar-chords, are widely varied to grab the listener's attention, and are organized with a large sense of song-writing. It's kind of funny, 'cos at first listen this seems to be utter crap, but its hidden value is indisputable.
The vocals are shared by all the three band-members, changing' from guttural to piercing cries and consist of the sickest growling ever.
The lyrics are all about the most terrible pathologies you can imagine of, at times really disgusting, with the clear purpose to shock the audience, but the context is pretty ironic, considering that all the band-members are vegetarians (with Bill even being a vegan).
Album has an apparent anarchic feel that reveals a wide and deep approach to extreme Metal. Back in 1988 this knocked the Metal world on its ass, opening a way that many bands later explored in his entirety. In hindsight, this was a groundbreaking album and still nowadays its a darn' great work!

The sixth full-length studio album by legendary British Death Metal band.
First band’s album since “Swansong” (1996)!!!
Without a doubt, UK legends CARCASS have released several classic albums over the years and changed the trajectory of Extreme Metal with each consecutive release. Whether it was inventing Gore Grind (i.e. "Reek Of Putrefaction", "Symphonies Of Sickness") or creating the template for Melodic Death Metal (i.e. "Heartwork"), Carcass has always made records by which bars were set and rules were broken. Carcass disbanded in 1996, prior to the release of their album "Swansong". Upon their untimely demise, fans mourned the loss of the seminal act and longed that the band would one day be exhumed from their premature grave. After an 18-year hiatus, Carcass has been fully reanimated and it’s safe to say, they haven’t missed a pathological step.
Walker, Steer, and Amott reformed in 2007 with Arch Enemy drummer Daniel Erlandsson as a live act and performed at festivals around the world for the next several years. In 2008, Steer said in an interview that a new album was unlikely due to Amott's and Walker's busy schedules.
While touring in 2008, Steer watched drummer Dan Wilding play and felt inspired by his similarity to former Carcass drummer Ken Owen, who had been unable to join Carcass for the reunion due to a cerebral hemorrhage he suffered in 1999. Amott and Erlandsson left the band in 2012 to focus on Arch Enemy, and Steer and Walker recruited Wilding to record "Surgical Steel", which they financed independently as they had no label backing at the time.
With "Surgical Steel", Carcass has risen to the occasion and given fans an album that holds up to their classic repertoire, delivering another milestone in their highly influential career. Everything a Carcass fan could want is on this record, with every era of the band represented! Its genesis however was not without its fair share of blood, sweat and tears of course. Long-time producer Colin Richardson actually walked out on the mixing sessions after tracking, possibly burnt out from the stress of having to top such landmark productions as "Heartwork". The equally renowned Andy Sneap (Testament, Exodus, Megadeth) stepped in at this time to mix the record, and put the finishing touches on their long-awaited masterpiece. The result is a combination of talent that should undoubtedly go unmatched for an undetermined stretch of time!!
In an era, seemingly content to endlessly chug away at their e-strings in various rhythmic denominations, Carcass has brought the power of the riff back to a generation. Songs like "The Master Butcher’s Apron", "Unfit for Human Consumption", "The Granulating Dark Satanic Mills", "Noncompliance to ASTM F899-12 Standard", are sure to become classics and put an air-guitar in the hands of every man, woman and child within earshot! Only the choicest of cuts were made to bring us a record worthy of the Carcass legacy!! In short, "Surgical Steel" is just what the doctor ordered!!!
The album features first songs Carcass has recorded since reforming in 2007. Also, “Surgical Steel” is their first album with drummer Dan Wilding and their first to reach the Top 50 in UK album charts.
Surgical Steel was named “2013's Album of the Year” by several Metal magazines and websites, including Metal Assault, MetalSucks and Decibel Magazine.
Limited digipack edition features bonus track “Intensive Battery Brooding”.

Description

First re-release of the fifth full-length studio album by the legendary British Melodic Death Metal/Death 'n' Roll band.
It is the only Carcass album to feature guitarist Carlo Regadas. This album was intended to be their major label debut, having been signed by Columbia Records following the success of "Heartwork", but disputes with that record company caused them to return to Earache Records. It was the band's last studio release for over 17 years, until "Surgical Steel" was released in 2013.
Although 1994's excellent "Heartwork" opus had already served notice of Carcass' increasingly commercial new direction, much of the band's loyal contingent of fans still viewed 1995's "Swansong" album not as a natural progression but as a huge betrayal. One of the leading lights of the British Grindcore movement, Carcass had made a name for themselves with their unrelenting sonic fury and unbelievably disgusting lyrics. But on "Swansong", much of that fury was reigned in to accommodate more conventional song structures topped with articulate, at times even humorous lyrics (see "Keep on Rotting in the Free World") from vocalist Jeff Walker.
With axe men Bill Steer and Carlo Regadas trading scorching leads to pave the way, the band's technical mastery and newfound melodic sensibility come through like never before, resulting in a style reminiscent of latter-day Coroner, or even Megadeth's work in the early '90s. Memorable numbers like "Tomorrow Belongs to Nobody" and "Child's Play" highlight the quartet's keen sense of dynamics, and their desire to experiment with new sounds leads to such unexpected moves as employing acoustic guitars on "Firm Hand".
Simply put, "Swansong" represents such a remarkable evolution (or de-evolution, depending, again, on your viewpoint) for Carcass that comparing it to their prior achievements leads to an interesting quandary. While it is easily the most accessible chapter of the band's career, the album hardly offers a fair introduction to the bulk of their brutal legacy. Therefore, while fans of unadulterated Grindcore should approach with caution, listeners seeking out an excellent example of Technical Thrashing will love what "Swansong" has to offer!
This CD contains bonus video “Keep On Rotting In The Free World” in its raw archive form.
