CD

Fourth full-length album by Norwegian masters of Epic Black Metal!
On this album band takes their unique progressive sound to a level that goes far beyond their raw, black metal roots. While their roots are still very much intact on “Kolossus”, the growth goes beyond that of typical black metal. This album quickly became a favorite in Norway’s Black Metal scene and for good reason as Keep of Kalessin are masters of their own unique art form. The album features a combative and hostile yet beautiful sound as the band weaves hypnotic melodies that captivate the listener.
 For fans of: 1349, Enslaved, Naglfar, Dark Fortress.

Debut full-length album by Canadian Power Metal band.
Kemilon is a six-member metal band from Montreal that was formed in 2008, and they storm out of the gate with excellent song writing and dynamic instrumental performances on debut album, "Twisted Storm". The best way to describe the music of Kemilon is to imagine the Progressive elements of Dream Theater, revving it up to the speed of European Power Metal bands such as Helloween and Gamma Ray. Kemilon are Canada's answer to such acts like Symphony X and Stratovarius!
The debut album of Kemilon definitely shreds, but also includes a few surprises, like a power ballad, dueling keyboard and guitar battles, and catchy, fist-raising Metal anthems. The very defintion of Power/Prog Metal!! “Twisted Storm” is a very good debut of a young band that is already bringing a lot to the plate they can use to forge their own niche and create an identity for themselves. Kemilon is definitely a name we should keep an eye on!!!

3rd full-length album by Progressive Modern Melodic Death Metal band from Italy.
A magnificent opus of melodic Death Metal where strong “American” riffing are enshrouded by keyboards and electronic loops! It represents a strong compromise between the best Death Metal and the most various contaminations and the result will amaze you all fans of music without barriers. Melodic, technical, modern death metal that should convince all who lay ears on it. An interesting melting pot of influences can be heard throughout the album, which remains cohesive while exhibiting plenty of diversity.

The debut full-length studio album by American Stoner/Doom Rock/Metal band.
Founded in 2011 by drummer Vinny Appice (former Black Sabbath, Heaven & Hell, and Dio), bassist Rex Brown (former Pantera and Down), guitarist Mark Zavon (former 40 Cycle Hum), and lead vocalist Dewey Bragg, the band is named after the town of Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, a location renowned from pirating days. Kill Devil Hill released their self-titled debut album in May 2012.
On March 10, 2014, it was announced that Vinny Appice had left the band in order to commit to other things and projects, and that former Type O Negative drummer Johnny Kelly was his replacement. Appice later stated his leaving the band was due to the lack of punctuality of his other bandmates.

The third full-length album by Slovak Brutal Death Metal/Deathcore band.
Absolutely mandatory killer album! Huge production, the intensity of Brutal Death Metal, the raw aggression of some Hardcore touches in the vocals there and there, technical Deathcore riffing at times, and an overall fast and violent true Death Metal feel for a monster of an album!!
The production is surprisingly squeaky-clean. The drums in particular sound pure and distinct. Even if this is not your kind of Metal you could find yourself listening to very often, it’s hard to ignore the amount of professionalism.

Re-release of the second full-length album by the Chilean Progressive Industrial Gothic/Black Metal band.
The sound of Kintral has found an evolution hard to define. They cannot be classified in any specific Metal genre. This twisted and innovative release traverses a variety of extreme sonical darings... just like other quality bands such as RamZet, Arcturus and The Kovenant.
We are facing a revolutionary disc, unique and a must-have to all those Metalheads that crave for innovation in sound.

First official re-release of the third full-length album by the Chilean Industrial Gothic/Black Metal band.
The album follows "Introversion From Insane Sceneries", released in 2007, and its previous album, "Catrala", released in 2001. Kintral have an interesting hybrid style, at times lugubrious Goth and other instances with hints of Industrial music.
Recently, Juan Quinteros (vocalist / 7-string guitarist) won the first prize at the annual Art Faculty contest at the University of Chile for his composition “Io”. The song, about Jupiter’s moon, will be interpreted by the Chilean Symphonic Orchestra in its 2012 repertoire.
Very interesting album with complicated music for fans which can think.

The nineteenth full-length studio album by legendary American Glam/Hard Rock band.
KISS’s first album in 11 years with their current lineup consisting of: Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer.
"Sonic Boom" does look back fondly on the band’s classic years, particularly the loose, more distilled Rock n Roll of their first three albums. On the surface, that probably makes it their best album in a long, long time. Even their better albums of the last 30 years have generally been nods to current musical trends, so at least now they’re giving a nod to their own success.
KISS has always been about entertaining their fans and that's just what "Sonic Boom" does. The other thing to keep in mind is that the release is available exclusively through Walmart, so really, they just want your money. Ultimately, "Sonic Boom" once again reminds us that KISS is that middle-aged guy with the top three buttons of his Hawaiian shirt undone who drives around in his convertible and still manages to bag the occasional college chick with his old pick-up lines from the '70s. You want to roll your eyes, but admit it; you love hanging out with the dude!
"Sonic Boom" debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200, selling 108 000 copies in its first week of release. The #2 position was the highest mark ever reached by the band, beating the #3 debut of "Psycho Circus" in 1998. The album finished 2009 with 238 000 units sold. "Sonic Boom" finished 2010 as one of Billboard's Top 50 Rock Albums. Metal Hammer listed the album in 13th place on the Metal Hammer Albums of 2009 list. Since its release, "Sonic Boom" has received Gold certification in Norway.
Quad-Fold Wallet Digipack includes original album, bonus CD “Kiss Klassics” (a completely re-recorded greatest hits album that until now had been exclusively released in Japan as “Jigoku-Retsuden”), bonus DVD “Kiss Live in Buenos Aires” (six-song live DVD recorded April 5, 2009, as part of the South American leg of the Kiss Alive/35 World Tour) and 20-page booklet.

Remastered re-release of the debut full-length solo album by the lead guitarist and vocalist of legendary American Hard Rock/Glam Rock band Kiss.
It was one of four solo albums released by the members of Kiss on September 18, 1978. The album featured Anton Fig on drums, which later performed session work on the Kiss albums "Dynasty" and "Unmasked", as well as become a member of Ace Frehley’s band Frehley’s Comet. Fig along with Will Lee, who played bass on three tracks on the album, became permanent members of Paul Shaffer’s band on "Late Night" with David Letterman and "Late Show" with David Letterman.
Of the four Kiss solo albums released simultaneously in 1978, the best of the bunch is guitarist Ace Frehley's. Similar in approach to Paul Stanley's album, Frehley did not stray far from the expected heavy Kiss sound (like Gene Simmons and Peter Criss did with their releases), but Ace was equipped with better compositions than Stanley.
Frehley proved once and for all that he was not simply a backup musician to Kiss head honchos Simmons and Stanley. All of the tracks are strong, such as the venomous opener, "Rip It Out", as well as a few tracks that confirm how Frehley was indulging in alcohol and drugs a bit too much by the late '70s ("Snow Blind", "Ozone", and "Wiped Out"). You'll also find many underrated compositions ("Speedin' Back to My Baby", "What's on Your Mind?", "I'm in Need of Love"), a gorgeous instrumental ("Fractured Mirror"), and the Top 20 hit single "New York Groove". Unfortunately, when Ace left Kiss in 1982 (eventually forming Frehley's Comet), he never came close to topping this solid and inspired 1978 solo outing.

Remastered re-release of the tenth full-length studio album by legendary American Horror/Glam Metal/Hard Rock band.
“Creatures Of The Night” represented a conscious effort by KISS to return to the Hard Rock style that had helped them achieve commercial success with "Destroyer" and "Love Gun". Their Pop-oriented albums "Dynasty" and "Unmasked" had started a decline in popularity that reached Rock bottom with 1981's "Music from The Elder". By 1982, KISS knew it needed to deliver on their earlier 1980–81 promise of a heavy record.
“Creatures Of The Night” was the band's last for Casablanca Records, the only label for which KISS had recorded up to that point. The album was dedicated to the memory of Casablanca founder and early KISS supporter Neil Bogart, who had died of cancer during the recording sessions. It is also the band's last album recorded with Ace Frehley credited as an official member and their first album with Vinnie Vincent as the initially-uncredited lead guitarist (Vincent would later be credited but not featured on the cover of the 1985 reissue of the album). It was also KISS' last album to feature the band with their trademark makeup until "Psycho Circus" was released.
The first key ingredient was songwriter/guitarist Vinnie Vincent, who was soon to replace Ace Frehley as the band's new lead guitarist. Though Frehley did not play on the album, his face was still featured on the album cover for contractual and commercial reasons. Frehley had been pushing the band to do a heavy Rock record since "Dynasty", and by the time of "Creatures Of The Night" he was fully disillusioned with the band, and that combined with alcoholism and a prescription medicine dependency (begun after a car wreck) led to his leaving the band during the recording sessions. On the tour, Vincent was introduced with his Egyptian Ankh make-up, designed in a hurry by Paul Stanley. In 1985, KISS re-released the album in their non-make-up state with a cover featuring Gene Simmons, Stanley, Eric Carr and then-current guitarist Bruce Kulick (even though Kulick did not play on the album). Vinnie Vincent had long since departed the band (being twice fired) by 1985.
KISS is one of the best-selling bands of all the time, having sold more than 75 000 000 records worldwide, including 25 000 000 RIAA-certified albums.
KISS also holds the title as America's #1 Gold record award-winning band of all time, having earned 30 Gold albums. Band has 14 Platinum albums, with three albums being multi-Platinum.
On April 10, 2014, the four original members of KISS were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
KISS was ranked by MTV as the ninth "Greatest Metal Band of All Time", and placed tenth on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock" list, as well as being ranked as the third "Best Metal and Hard Rock Live Band of All Time" by Loudwire.
"Creatures Of The Night" would not attain Gold status until 1994. The album would receive critical recognition with both Kerrang! and Guitar World magazines placing the album at #5 on their lists of best hard rock albums in 1982. Carr noted in an interview that "Creatures Of The Night" is his favorite KISS record that he played on. Simmons and Stanley, who have generally been dismissive of the band's post-1977 albums, considered "Creatures Of The Night" to be one of their stronger efforts.
"Creatures Of The Night" was certified Gold by the RIAA on May 9, 1994. It also was certified Gold in Brazil in 1983, for sales of 100 000 copies.
"Creatures Of The Night" was re-released in 1997 in a remastered version.

Remixed re-release of the fourth full-length studio album by legendary American Horror/Glam/Hard Rock band.
In anticipation of the 35th anniversary of the release of "Destroyer", producer Bob Ezrin approached Simmons and Stanley about doing a remix and re-release of the original album. With their approval, Ezrin acquired the original 16-track analog master tapes and had them digitally transferred for remixing. In addition to re-equalizing elements of each song, Ezrin also added in some parts of tracks that had been omitted from the original mix.
These include some additional vocals on "Detroit Rock City" and "Beth", and the substitution of a guitar solo by Frehley on "Sweet Pain" for the one from the original that had been performed by Wagner (a version of "Sweet Pain" with Frehley's solo was included as track 6, while the original version with Wagner's solo is appended as a "bonus" track at the end of the new CD). Ezrin also used digital manipulation to fix an incorrect lyric (changing "down 95" to "doin' 95") on "Detroit Rock City". The resulting album, titled "Destroyer: Resurrected", was released on August 21, 2012. It featured Ken Kelly's original cover artwork prior to alteration by Casablanca for the 1976 release.
"Destroyer: Resurrected" returned to the Billboard charts, debuting at #11 the week after its re-release.
Each track sounds crisper, clearer and louder, which are always welcome qualities when you’re listening to a classic album of the likes of "Destroyer"!

Remastered re-release of the fourth full-length studio album by legendary American Horror/Glam/Hard Rock band.
After attaining modest commercial success with their first three studio albums, KISS achieved a commercial breakthrough with the 1975 concert album "Alive!". It was the first album by the band to be certified Gold. The success of "Alive!", which spent 110 weeks on the charts, benefited not only the struggling band but also their cash-strapped label Casablanca Records. KISS signed a new contract with Casablanca in late 1975, partly because the label had been very supportive from the start of the band's career. The contract was for two albums, an indication that Casablanca was unsure if the group could duplicate the accomplishments of "Alive!".
“Destroyer” is the first KISS album to prominently feature outside musicians, such as members of the New York Philharmonic. One musician not credited was Dick Wagner, from Alice Cooper's band, replacing Ace Frehley on the track "Sweet Pain". Wagner also played the acoustic guitar found on the song "Beth".
“Destroyer” was the third successive KISS album to reach the top 40 in the US, as well as the first to chart in Germany and New Zealand. The album was certified Gold by the RIAA on April 22, 1976, and Platinum on November 11 of the same year. It was the first KISS album to achieve Platinum status. The album marked a departure from the raw sound of the band's first three albums. The success of "Alive!" and "Destroyer" enabled the band to embark on their first tour of Europe. 
KISS is one of the best-selling bands of all the time, having sold more than 75 000 000 records worldwide, including 25 000 000 RIAA-certified albums.

Remastered re-release of the third full-length studio album by legendary American Horror/Glam/Hard Rock band.
“Dressed To Kill” was produced by Casablanca Records president Neil Bogart, as the label's financial situation at the time did not permit the hiring of a professional producer. Possibly due to the short length of the album, original vinyl versions had long pauses between each track to create the illusion that the sides were longer than they were. Each side ran just 15 minutes, and some of the song times were listed incorrectly on the vinyl versions. For example, "Two Timer" was listed at 2:59 and "Ladies in Waiting" was listed at 2:47.

Remastered re-release of the seventh full-length studio album by legendary American Horror/Glam/Disco/Hard Rock band.
It was the first time that the four original members of KISS did not all appear together for the entire album. In later interviews, the band admitted they started listening to outsiders about what direction the music should go in around the time of "Dynasty". Stanley's "I Was Made for Lovin' You" was an attempt to cash in on the popularity of Disco music. It was one of the band's most successful singles, peaking at #11 on the American singles chart. "I Was Made for Lovin' You" was KISS' first songwriting collaboration with Desmond Child, who showed up later on "Animalize", "Asylum", "Crazy Nights", "Smashes, Thrashes & Hits" and "Hot In The Shade". Frehley said in various interviews that KISS was becoming a youth-oriented band, with children attending their concerts with parents.
"Dynasty" restored the band to commercial prominence, reaching #9 on the US Billboard album chart. It was certified Platinum in the USA, Netherlads and double-Platinum in Canada. It was the last high-charting album by KISS for several years. 
KISS is one of the best-selling bands of all the time, having sold more than 75 000 000 records worldwide, including 25 000 000 RIAA-certified albums.

Remastered re-release of the fifteenth full-length studio album by legendary American Glam/Hard Rock band.
“Hot In The Shade” is the first KISS full-length studio album since 1981's "Music From The Elder" to feature lead vocals from someone other than Paul Stanley or Gene Simmons, with drummer Eric Carr singing lead on "Little Caesar". It is also the final KISS album to feature Carr in its entirety before his death in November 1991. Just like its predecessor album, "Crazy Nights", "Hot In The Shade" also features keyboards and synthesizers. The album is one of the band's longest, with a running time of nearly an hour, and contains the most songs of any KISS studio album with 15. 
“Hot In The Shade” showcases a more straight ahead Hard Rock sound after the keyboard-centered Pop Metal in "Crazy Nights" and even flirts with Speed Metal in "Boomerang". "Little Caesar" was Eric Carr's first lead vocal on an original song, although he had previously sung lead on a re-recorded version of "Beth" on the compilation album "Smashes, Thrashes & Hits".
“Hot In The Shade” was certified Gold on December 20, 1989 by the RIAA and has sold over 800 000 copies since its release. Its most successful single, "Forever", reached #8 on the Billboard charts, the band's highest charting single in the US since "Beth", 13 years earlier.

Re-release of the second compilation album by legendary American Horror/Glam/Hard Rock band.
“Killers” was released only outside the US, but quickly became available as an import. Of the album's twelve songs, four were new compositions recorded specifically for it: "I'm a Legend Tonight", "Down on Your Knees", "Nowhere to Run" and "Partners in Crime". These new songs were recorded at the behest of Phonogram Records, in response to the commercial failure of 1981's "Music From The Elder".
Numerous outside songwriters and session musicians were employed for the writing and recording of the four new songs on "Killers", as well as the subsequent album, "Creatures Of The Night". Songwriter and musician Mikel Japp, who co-wrote three songs on Paul Stanley's 1978 solo album, co-wrote "Down on Your Knees" with Stanley and Bryan Adams. Adam Mitchell, another outside songwriter, was brought in by producer Michael James Jackson.
Despite being pictured on the album's cover art (from the photo session for "Music From The Elder"), lead guitarist and co-founder Ace Frehley did not participate at all in the production of "Killers". He had essentially ended his active involvement with KISS in late 1981, although he would not officially leave the band until the end of 1982, after the release of "Creatures Of The Night". His replacement for the "Killers" sessions was Bob Kulick, who had previously substituted for Frehley on a handful of studio tracks on 1977's "Alive II"; however, whereas Kulick had been asked to mimic Frehley's playing style when recording for "Alive II", he was permitted to employ his own techniques for "Killers". The four new songs were considered a "primer" for KISS' next release, while some fans have indicated that fan club memos at the time listed Frehley as "temporarily out of action", possibly due to a car accident or something similar, and originally listed Vinnie Vincent as a temporary replacement for Frehley.
Due to the large volume of KISS live albums and greatest hits albums already available domestically, Phonogram decided to issue the "Killers" outside the US. The album sold in moderate numbers, reaching its highest chart position of #6 in Norway. It peaked at #21 and #27 in Australia and Japan, respectively. In Sweden and the UK, it reached #41 and #42, respectively. None of the singles released from the album charted in any country. Also, due to the shape of the S in their band logo, there were two covers: one with the standard "S", and a more European friendly version with a "backwards"-Z shape.
KISS is one of the best-selling bands of all the time, having sold more than 75 000 000 records worldwide, including 25 000 000 RIAA-certified albums.
