Second full-length album by Italian Gothic Black Metal band (project).
The music is pretty interesting as they combine these two styles pretty originally and powerfully and also add certain theatricality, which makes everything quite interesting. Vocally it is pretty impressive what we get here, also some of the processed ideas are really original and good. Altogether this is great... no, this is fantastic album and it’s highly recommended for fans of Limbonic Art, Theatre of Tragedy, Tristania and Cradle of Filth!

- Product Code: Bey.1339

- Price in bonus-scraps: 59
The third full-length album by the Italian Gothic/Heavy Metal band (before known as Drastique and Drastic).
The album, produced by Chris Buchman and mastered by Russ Russell (Amorphis, Dimmu Borgir, Napalm Death), is the third opus of the project, following "Pleasureligion", released as Drastique in 2003, and "Thieves Of Kisses", released as Drastic in 1998. "Let Your Life Pass You By" is an instrumental opera with a guitar-oriented sound that blends grim tones with dramatic movements in a dynamic tension between ethereal atmospheres and extreme emotions.
Instrumental Metal isn't really a genre of its own, but neither Drastisch's music is on a path of its own. Basically this feels like a compilation of tracks or track ideas each of them exploring different horizons, different styles, melodic and technical enough to succeed in painting a different dimension.
A soundtrack for the waiting room of existence!
Beyond…Productions, 2013 (Bey.1339). Made in Italy. First press.
Tracklist:
1. Self-Healing 03:25
2. Cantkillhope 02:20

First EP of Swedish Heavy/Power Metal band.
Two full-length albums within barely a just a year, successful tours with bands like Blind Guardian, Masterplan and Kamelot to name a few, nominated to the title "Newcomer of the Year" in many Metal magazines are factors that absolutely speak for themselves and describe the immediate and indisputable success of the first years in the Dream Evil episode.
Dream Evil has had some brilliant moments, and a good deal of it is found on this EP. The songs avoid the hyper speed fury of Rhapsody and Gamma Ray, and stick mostly to conventional structures with a large emphasis on choruses, something not unique to this band and their basic style, but differing in levels of emphasis. The title track “Children of the Night” sounds like a heavier version of the Scorpions classic “Big City Nights”, the lyrics are a cheesy variation on Dio’s poetic approach, but once you’ve heard it you cannot forget it no matter how hard you try. “Dragonheart” is a mid-grade Speed Metal track that probably was a b-side from their debut album, where they sounded the most like a Hammerfall clone. “Betrayed” is a slower heavier number, but still listens somewhat lightly with Niklas vocals still invoking the spirit of Klaus Meine. The acoustic version of “Evilized” is vocally exposed, which works well for this outfit.
If you have to pick up a single release by this band but want to avoid the price of an LP, or you want to spend a little money to find out what you’d be in for with this outfit, this is the album to get. It is a perfectly happy medium between the dragons and magic of their debut and the dark imagery of their follow-up “Evilized”. If you want to skip ahead and get an LP, “Evilized” is the first to get, but this one strongly recommended because “Children of the Night” contains two bonus tracks from the Japanese versions of both “Dragonslayer” and “Evilized”, an acoustic version of the title tune of the latter and finally also a video clip of “Children of the Night” from a gig in Gothenburg in February 2003.
Century Media, 2003 (77522-2). Made in Germany. Although the CD is new and has never been played, there are light shabby on the disc surface.

1. Children Of The Night 04:19

First Single of Swedish Heavy/Power Metal band.
The advance single for the upcoming album “The Book Of Heavy Metal” (May, 31st) released on April, 26th. In fact, Dream Evil, much like loin-clothed Metal Warriors Manowar, cares not for the latter category of sniveling vermin! No sir, their mission to metalizing the realm is fueled by far grander ambitions and deeper commitments than those non-believers could possibly fathom. Or so one would gather from the meaty staccato riffs, dazzling guitar solos and soaring vocals (everything classic Metal is known and loved for) to be found in this über-metallic offering. Noted Metal producer Fredrik Nordström is the main architect of Dream Evil's castle, it's also embattled by bassist Peter Stalfors and legendary drummer Snowy Shaw (King Diamond, Notre Dame, etc.), as well as Greek guitar-shredding sub-legend Gus G. (Mystic Prophecy, Firewind, etc.). Also to their credit, Dream Evil doesn't pave their glorious road with the easy but by now rote clichés of Power Metal. There's virtually zero Thrash-like Speed to be found here, and actually come closest to old-school Hard Rock than later-day Metal for inspiration.
Fans of Judas Priest, Dio, and especially Manowar will likely find themselves lapping up this EP, and the fact that the members of Dream Evil often have their tongues planted firmly in cheek should also forgive most of their excesses in the name of Metal!!!

DREAM THEATER "Awake" /CD/

The third full-length album by legendary American Progressive Metal/Rock band.
Following the release and commercial success of “Images And Words”, Dream Theater entered the studio with an increased level of pressure from ATCO Records to release another hit album, as well as working with a deadline for the first time in their career. The band recorded a much darker, heavier and longer album, creating a strong contrast to the optimism seen in “Images And Words”, for the first time filling a CD with music, something they would later become known for.
“Awake” is known for its brooding themes and heavy guitar riffs. Petrucci used a seven-string guitar for the first time on this album, giving the songs a much crunchier tone. Out of the four tenets of Dream Theater's sound (Progressive, Metal, Melodic and Pop) the album tends to focus on the Metal and Melodic aspects, creating a unique sound in their discography, though there is a lot of Progressive feel on the album, with only "Innocence Faded" being a strong Pop song. "Caught In A Web", "The Mirror" and "Lie" are all Extremely Heavy Metal songs, with "6:00", "Erotomania", "Voices", and "Scarred" being more Progressive. Most of the songs tend to be melodic, with the exceptions of "The Mirror" and "Lie". The album's ballads are "The Silent Man", "Lifting Shadows Off A Dream", and "Space-Dye Vest", the last of which has a unique sound due to being completely penned by Moore.
It was the last album to feature keyboardist Kevin Moore, who announced his decision to leave the band during the recording of the album. The album is also considered to be the band's second highest selling album, behind its predecessor, "Images And Words". There is no title track on the album, but the lyric awake appears in the songs "Innocence Faded" and "The Silent Man".
Much of the material for Awake was written in writing sessions between February and April 1994, during which Dream Theater were under pressure from their record label to produce an album as successful as "Images And Words" (1992) with a single similar to "Pull Me Under". The label wanted the band to produce a more Metal-oriented album, hoping it would be easier to market.
Released at the height of the popularity of Grunge music, "Awake" initially received mixed reviews; more recent reviews regard the album as one of the band's finest.
"Awake" marks a definite change in the band's tone. From the moment the guitars enter on "6:00", the first track, a darker sound is immediately evident, and it continues through the entire 75 minutes of the disc. The complex song structures, marked by arrangements that would give many good players fits, are very impressive. Drummer Mike Portnoy and guitarist John Petrucci, in particular, reach new heights with their instruments, but keyboardist Kevin Moore and bassist John Myung hold up quite well, adding to the Prog Metal sound with their own contributions.
The album peaked at 32 on the US Billboard 200 (remaining in the charts for six weeks), the highest position a Dream Theater album would reach on that chart until 2007's "Systematic Chaos", which peaked at 19 (that was eventually topped by 2009's "Black Clouds & Silver Linings", which peaked at No. 6). "Lie", "Caught in a Web" and "The Silent Man" were released as singles but failed to be as successful as "Pull Me Under" had been. The album peaked in the top 20 in four countries.
The band's record label considered the album a commercial failure. This led to the band once again working with David Prater on "A Change Of Seasons" and to the record label putting increasing pressure on the band to make songs on their next studio album, "Falling Into Infinity", more commercial and radio-friendly.
In a 1995 Guitar World interview, Chuck Schuldiner praised "Awake" and the band Dream Theater in general, claiming that "their music is very complex, but they definitely have hooks, which is crucial to making music listenable", citing them as an influence on the more Progressive nature of his band Death's later material as opposed to the stagnant Death Metal scene at the time.
In 2005, Awake was ranked number 390 in Rock Hard Magazine's book of The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time. In July 2014, the album was ranked number 1 in Guitar World Magazine's list of "Superunknown: 50 Iconic Albums That Defined 1994".
"Awake" is a classic album showcasing Dream Theater at their best. This is one of the dark episode of Dream Theater, but remain a wonderful album with complex song writing, beautiful solos and a perfect ambiance in the whole CD from the beginning until the last note of keyboard! A must for everyone into metal!! Easily the most influential piece of Progressive Metal to this day!!!

The first EP by legendary American Progressive Metal band.
It comprises the 23-minute title track, which composed of seven parts with various titles, as well as a collection of live cover songs performed at a fan club concert at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in London, England.
The title track was recorded at BearTracks Studios in New York and was originally slated to be released on the 1992 album, "Images And Words", but was instead re-recorded and released as an EP. Although the record is labelled as an EP, its running time of about one hour makes it significantly longer than a standard EP, and even many LPs, including Dream Theater's first two albums. According to Portnoy, "It was important for us and the label for it not to be perceived as the latest studio record. That's why we tagged it an EP".
"A Change of Seasons," is one of the most impressive pieces of music ever written in the Progressive Metal vein. With the same heavy sound that marked "Awake", but with many other styles mixed in, the track features incredible playing, dramatic, complex instrumental arrangements, and soaring vocals. Although the song includes audio samples from the 1989 film "Dead Poets Society" (as well as quotes from the 1648 Robert Herrick poem, "To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time"), the lyrics, written by drummer Mike Portnoy, were not inspired by the film. An edited version of the title track was used by NBC in a downhill skiing feature during the 2002 Winter Olympic Games.
The remainder of the tracks are live cover tunes, recorded from the band's "Uncovered"; the material varies widely and includes Elton John's "Love Lies Bleeding" and Deep Purple's "Perfect Strangers." The final track, "The Big Medley", has to be heard to be believed; Dream Theater shift musical styles on a dime to cover Pink Floyd, Kansas, Queen, Journey, the Dixie Dregs, and Genesis all in ten minutes!
"A Change Of Seasons" was the first Dream Theater release featuring Derek Sherinian (formerly of Kiss and Alice Cooper) on keyboards. Derek Sherinian adds his own stamp to the Dream Theater sound as if he'd always been with them.

The twelfth full-length album by the legendary American Progressive Metal band.
Album features nine tracks, including the lead single "The Enemy Inside". Produced by guitarist John Petrucci and engineered by Richard Chycki (Aerosmith, Mick Jagger, Rush), the album showcases the band's patented mind-bending instrumental passages, soaring vocals and epic storyteller-style lyrics.
Dream Theater have had an interesting release history; from classic records like "Images And Words" and "Scenes From A Memory", the band released what's regarded as "their last good record" "Octavarium" in 2005. Then came the period of their career where "Systematic Chaos" through "A Dramatic Turn Of Events" seemed like a good idea, the latter being a step up from essentially the abomination "Black Clouds & Silver Linings". Finally we arrive in 2013, where Dream Theater drop their self-titled record and, more importantly, return to where they left off with "Octavarium" by crafting a record that is front-to-back great. "We have a great history. We've made a lot of albums that we're incredibly proud of and that are special to us," said Petrucci. "Self-titling this album was a way to illustrate that we remain in a constant state of evolution."
Dream Theater can be summed up simply; think of the record as having the heaviness of "Train Of Thought", the catchy sensibilities of "Images And Words", and the vocal work of "Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory"… thrown into a movie soundtrack. It's the perfect storm of what Dream Theater fans have anxiously been waiting for from the band and so much more.
Where songs like "The Enemy Inside" and "Enigma Machine" have the capability to wrap their hands around your throat and slam you into the pavement, there are Rush-influenced jams like "The Looking Glass", ballads like "Along For The Ride" and even the movie-prog closer "Illumination Theory" keeps the record interesting right up to the final piano-laden minutes.
While guitarist John Petrucci and keyboardist Jordan Rudess play their heart out as they've always done, which is constantly commendable, the rest of the band deserve equal praise. For the first time since "Train Of Thought", bassist John Myung is not only audible in the mix but brings the gritty, low-down riffs like no other. Dream Theater might be his best performance to date. Then there's drummer Mike Mangini, who for the first time since joining the band has written his own parts… and it shows. Mangini is an amazing fit for the band and truly takes the record to another level. Then there's vocalist James LaBrie, who usually gets a lot of flack for his performances, but lo and behold! Once more easily one of his best performances to date and some of the highest notes we've heard out of LaBrie in a long while.
The diversity strewn across the record is simply astonishing, and never once gets boring or have you checking how long you've been listening. In essence, Dream Theater has taken all the mistakes they've made on the past few records and righted them in the best way possible!
Dream Theater is a grower! It's an album that really takes a lot of you but it's worth it in the end!! The performances are genuinely amazing and… it's one of those records where words simply don't do it justice. The bottom line is that if you've been disappointed in the band for the past few years and you're yearning for early 2000's Dream Theater, then this record is for you!!!
After being released on September 24, 2013, album sold around 34,000 copies in the first week to land at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 chart, making it the band's second highest chart position, behind "Black Clouds & Silver Linings", which peaked at No. 6. It also is the band's third consecutive top 10 debut. Also, the album topped Billboard's list of "Hard Rock Albums". It entered the Top 5 in fifteen countries including Japan, Germany, Argentina, Holland, Finland, Italy, Switzerland and Canada; and Top 10 in nine countries including Denmark, Norway, Austria, Australia and United Kingdom. On December 6, 2013, it was announced that "The Enemy Inside" was nominated for the "Best Metal Performance" Grammy Award.

The ninth full-length studio album by legendary American Progressive Metal band.
The first and so far only album to be released with fan involvement. During the recording sessions, Portnoy invited fans to come to Avatar Studios (NY) to be a part of the recording process.
This is the band's debut release on Roadrunner Records, and it was sold by their previous label, Atlantic Records. Pre-release promotion for “Systematic Chaos” was much stronger with Roadrunner Records, which led the album to initially chart at #19, much higher than any previous Dream Theater album. A video was shot for “Constant Motion”, which was released prior to the album. A second video was shot for “Forsaken”, which is notably the band's first and so far only foray into animation. “Forsaken” was also released as a digital EP, containing live tracks from the band's tour. Dream Theater promoted the album on their Chaos In Motion World Tour, which lasted a year and spanned thirty-five countries.
“Systematic Chaos” was the first band's album to break the Billboard top 20, making it the highest peaking Dream Theater album in the United States until the release of “Black Clouds & Silver Linings” (2009), which debuted at the 6th position. In the US, the album sold 35 689 copies in the first week it was released. The album also peaked in the top 25 in the United Kingdom and Australia, where the band had never previously charted. It peaked in the top 20 in eight countries' sales charts.

The debut full-length studio album by legendary American Progressive Metal band.
Dream Theater's first official release gave an indication that this was a talented band that combined the styles of Yes, Rush, and Queensrÿche. The latter seemed to be too big of an influence at this stage of their career. Vocalist Charlie Dominici's voice is not powerful enough to carry out the band's otherwise convincing intensity, and his attempt to sound like Queensrÿche's Geoff Tate was unsuccessful. The music here is not as heavy as it would become in the '90s but could still be classified as Progressive Metal. Guitarist John Petrucci and drummer Mike Portnoy established themselves as competent musicians, but their individual styles were not yet refined.
The band was originally formed in 1985 by John Myung (bass), Mike Portnoy (drums), and John Petrucci (guitar) under the name Majesty, which was inspired by Portnoy's commentary on the ending of "Bastille Day" by Rush. After the band found a keyboardist in schoolmate Kevin Moore, the band hosted auditions and settled on Chris Collins as the lead vocalist. Majesty recorded "The Majesty Demos" between 1985 and 1986 but, shortly thereafter, were forced to change their name after another band threatened to take legal action. While touring around New York, Collins left the band, and the band went through many lead singers before settling in with experienced vocalist Charlie Dominici. Still trying to come up with ideas to rename their band, Portnoy's father suggested the name Dream Theater, which was the name of a nearby movie theater. They accepted the name, and eventually signed their first recording contract with Mechanic/MCA. The album was then recorded in mid-1988 at Kajem/Victory Studios in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania, notable for the recording of "Operation: Mindcrime" by Queensrÿche, and the whole process took three weeks. With the relatively warm reception of their original demos, the band expected their debut album to be received with much fanfare and buzz, but the album went largely unnoticed by the music industry, and eventually led to Mechanic/MCA cutting their contract ties with the band, resulting in a small club tour for the album exclusively in the New York area.
"When Dream And Day Unite" is composed mostly of material that originally surfaced during the band's early years as Majesty, and it is the only Dream Theater album to be recorded with their full original lineup. Due to tensions within the band and creative differences, Dominici was fired from the band, and they were without a lead singer until late 1990. James LaBrie replaced Charlie Dominici as the lead vocalist on all subsequent albums.
With Charlie Dominici on vocals, they took their first step in becoming one of the world's best known bands in the Progressive Metal. It’s their shortest release, but one in which you can hear what later became the signature of the band. With Shreddy riffs and Jazzy signatures, the band putted their influences out of 70s and 80s Prog Rock. As a milestone in the evolution of Progressive Metal, it’s an album full of atmospheric keyboard sounds, epic vocals and some powerful riffs. Charlie Dominici got some similarity with the voice of Geddy Lee and even the melodies got some of the stronger parts from Rush. But all to all, it’s just a great start in the massive popularity they would receive a few years later. Dream Theater is one of the most successful bands in the Progressive Metal. After releasing their first top-selling album, "Images And Words" (1992), they were performing to bigger audiences. To date, has they sold over 13 million records worldwide.
"When Dream And Day Unite" did not receive much attention upon release, but due to the commercial success of "Images And Words", the album later received critical reviews and criticism from many resources. This is the only Dream Theater album that failed to chart on the Billboard 200.

Dream Theater's first official release gave an indication that this was a talented band that combined the styles of Yes, Rush, and Queensrÿche. The latter seemed to be too big of an influence at this stage of their career. Vocalist Charlie Dominici's voice is not powerful enough to carry out the band's otherwise convincing intensity, and his attempt to sound like Queensrÿche's Geoff Tate was unsuccessful. The music here is not as heavy as it would become in the '90s but could still be classified as Progressive Metal. Guitarist John Petrucci and drummer Mike Portnoy established themselves as competent musicians, but their individual styles were not yet refined.

First compilation album by Ukrainian Folk Black Metal band.
The definitive collection of the long out-of-print EPs, including the brand new EP "Thousands Of Moons Ago". "Eastern Frontier In Flames" combines 2007's "Anti-Urban" EP, 2010's "Slavonic Chronicles" EP with the recent half of their vinyl-only split collaboration with Winterfylleth.
Despite their having only been in existence since 2002, it's hard not to think of Drudkh as elder statesmen of Black Metal. From "Forgotten Legends" to "Eternal Turn Of The Wheel", their brand of Black Metal has become highly influential, and although certain albums may not have been as good as others, there's still a generally high bar set as this collection of rare EP material shows. Bringing together all this stuff, it's a release primarily for fans. Each song is interesting and holds your attention well, showing off the musicianship of the talented foursome as they take the Drudkh sound further.
Integral piece to any Drudkh fan's collection! For fans of: Burzum, Agalloch, Fen... etc!!

The twelfth full-length studio album by cult Ukrainian Atmospheric Black Metal band.
Drudkh is ushering in the cold darkness and alluring decay of autumn with this album.
The album offers an incredible emotional maturity and natural flawlessness amidst prolonged russian aggression against Ukraine. While it includes only four songs, it rages on for over 45 minutes, delivering an epic maelstrom of grandiose melodies, devastating aggression, and the cold atmospheric passages that have come to define Drudkh’s unmistakable sound.
Drudkh was founded twenty years ago, uniting two black metal enthusiasts – Roman Saenko and Thurios (before in Hate Forest) are in the band from the first days, but Krechet and Vlad joined them four years after. So without any further ado we just can admit, this line-up is really stable and cohesive, united by the same artistic ideas – love of nature, fondness for poetry and local folklore.
Through disastrous and desperate perspectives, there’s always some kind of hope, some bright spark of light in the thickset of dense forest; something promising and reassuring, even in the darkest of times. And it doesn’t matter how raw they play in their devastating fury or how painfully beautiful they present their creativity, even during the most aggressive and bestial parts this epitome of melancholy still lingers. The album will steal your attention, enticing you in the spiritual depths with tranquil passion and devilish sangfroid. Strange cathartic feeling, when the opposite emotions transform into absolute harmony.

The sixth full-length studio album by russian Progressive Melodic Thrash/Death Metal band.
Symphonic, Melodic, Progressive, Alternative, Thrash, and Melodic Death Metal – everything we can find on the new album of Druknroll.
“… It’s a calm Spring night. I call my beloved grandma to wish her good sleep. I dial her number... and what do I hear? Instead of her answering, I hear infernal crackle of magnificent guitar riffs, horrible buzz of straightforward bass, machinegun-like teeth-grinding drums, disgusting noise under cerebral cortex caused by philosophic keyboards, harrowing howling of “crafted” legendary harsh vocals...
...Only crispy and uncompromised lead-guitars put me back into the spring environment. And, through all this chaos in the telephone I hear the hysterical yelling of my grandma: “What’s up, grandson? Did you eat your pasta?”
This album is recommended for the fans of bands like Children Of Bodom, Soilwork, Mercenary, Degradead, Dark Tranquillity, Svartstorm and In Flames!
