The second full-length album by Russian Brutal Death Metal one-man band.
Kraworath from Saratov was not long in coming. Over a short period, this project found its niche among the Russian brutal bands and came up with such monsters like Cannibal Corpse, Deicide and Dying Fetus in terms of heaviness and speed. 
The music of Kraworath became more intense and rich; lyrics grew even more ultimatistic and presented the anthology of present day serial crimes. Kartashov’s songwriting has certainly gotten stronger; enough so that Kraworath should definitely be mentioned in the same breath as Russian brutal death stalwarts 7.H Target and Abominable Putridity.
The album brings energy of the debut, multiplied by the new performance standards. From the first note, the first riff of the album power and aggression strike listeners fair in the face, deep growling ruptures their untrained eardrums echoing in their cracked heads. Completely written and performed by Roman Kartashov, "Purification Through Pain" bring ten tracks running just shy of the thirty-five minute mark. Everything that made the debut so punishing is here: razor sharp riffing, bass heavy chord progressions and fast paced drumming. Certain elements were honed into a sharper and more damaging sound. The riffing is precise, balancing between chugging progressions and blazing fast trem riffing while the drums annihilate all in their wake.
"Purification Through Pain" is a much stronger album than the debut and, although it’s constantly firing on all cylinders, manages to sport more variety in tempo and songwriting. It’s an impressive album, given that everything is performed by one man!

Remastered re-release of the seventh full-length studio album by legendary German Industrial/Hardcore/Thrash Metal band.
The album continued the experimentation with Industrial music that band started on previous album, "Renewal", but brought back more of their Thrash Metal sound. It's also the only Kreator's album to feature Joe Cangelosi as the replacement of original drummer Jürgen "Ventor" Reil, which returned to the band in 1996, as well as the first to feature bassist Christian Giesler, and the last to feature guitarist Frank "Blackfire" Gosdzik.
In "Cause For Conflict", the charismatic Petrozza steps in familiar paths and rages in a furious output that seems to embody many of Kreator's old features of attitude and abilities. This album is a great reminder of just how angry and creative, Kreator were back in the day, and still are, when they wanted to. "Cause For Conflict" is relentless, heavy and in your face the entire way through. The sound is top-notch in comparison to older albums and stands the test of time well. The songwriting is inspired, the riffs are fast and memorable, and Petrozza's lyrics are exceptionally charged. The overall effect has a very 90s feel, but not in terms of melody or catchiness, but more in the sense that Kreator weren't scared to incorporate a subtle vibe of Industrial, Nu Metal, or some Hardcore mashed groove.
Writing and releasing iconic Thrash Metal anthems and extreme sounds, have paved Kreator the way for global success and a near modern Metal god status.
Remastered re-edition features three bonus tracks and 28-page booklet.

Special Edition re-release of the twelfth full-length album by the legendary German Thrash Metal.
It has been described as their most organic album to date because barring vocals, guitar solos and some melodies, the album was recorded in a live setting on an analog tape recorder with few overdubs. Mille Petrozza noted that this was the first time they have recorded an album this way since “Pleasure to Kill” in 1986. The immediately striking thing about “Hordes Of Chaos” is how wildly aggressive it is compared to the last two albums. While its recent predecessors were undoubtedly punishing, this album is unrelentingly brutal.
From here on out, Kreator lay waste to everything in their path, including those that believed Kreator would never again sound as passionate as they did in their youth. The guitar work is undeniably amazing. The guitar solos are like battles and as each solo winds down, the band take off at lightning speed, hitting the ground running each time with a sinister force and precision that comes only with age.
Overall, this is easily Kreator’s best of the new millennium. For that matter it’s also better than most of what they did during the 90s, when they were experimenting themselves out of the consciousness of metal fans. "Hordes Of Chaos" is a shining example of why tradition is going to force you to pay attention in 2009. This was the first Kreator album to chart in the United States, debuting at number 165 on the Billboard 200 chart in the US, with first week sales of approximately 2800 copies.

The thirteenth full-length studio album by legendary German Thrash Metal band.
This album, in 30-year career of the band, is also the fourth long-play released since the band's triumphant rebirth to Thrash in 2001 – a move that coincided almost perfectly with a worldwide genre revival driven by both veteran and rookie ensembles and that, as a result, saw these German survivors enjoying a long-deferred coronation for their almost unrivalled achievements. Now that trend, like all trends, has come and gone, and yet Kreator persist, still displaying, as the new material contained here bears repeated witness, 100% commitment to the original, Metal Thrashing mad raison d'être that launched them in the first place.
Filled with fire and fury, indefatigable energy, and truly incensed lyrical bile for men of such middle-aged ripeness, led as always by guiding light Mille Petrozza, the opening title track and "Civilization Collapse" dispense a moshing master class, showing the young ones how it's done, and how it'll continue to be done. Acoustic guitar-augmented cuts like "United in Hate" and "The Few, the Proud, the Broken" prove equally devastating before they're though, and just when more commercially inclined musical considerations appear to threaten Thrash's supremacy, like, say, during the highly melodic parts of "From Flood into Fire", "Victory Will Come" and "Until Our Paths Cross Again", one can rest assured that a pedal-to-the-Metal onslaught lies just around the corner. To wit, both the slower, mildly Arabian-psychedelic bridge of "Death to the World" and the contemplative mood-meets-murmured vocals of "Your Heaven, My Hell" weigh in, passing at Kreator's hit-and-miss experiments of the 1990s before returning to the prevailing mosh-fest, and within that context there really can be no hard feelings - what's past is the past. The irony of which should be lost on neither fans nor the band members themselves, since embracing the past clearly paved the way toward Kreator's future by affording them this second lease on life and career. Judging by the evidence available on "Phantom Antichrist", it's not over yet.
It isn’t a shock that Mille and company are at the top of the Thrash heap. They have been there for so many years as a mainstay and proof of the absolute relevance of the genre. The maligned Thrash revival and bastardization of the genre with “Modern Thrash” certainly could use the guidance and wisdom of this tried and true German great. Pretenders step aside, your true master has spoken!!
Recommended to anyone who loves Metal or is trying to get into it! Amazing album!!!

First re-release of the sixth full-length studio album by legendary German Industrial/Hardcore/Thrash Metal band.
Set ablaze two years after its predecessor, “Renewal” took point as the face of Kreator and their next chapters in their career. Recorded at Morrisound Studios, Tampa, Florida, it is the first Kreator’s "experimental" album, introducing noticeable elements of Industrial and Hardcore.
The strong will for a change can beat any obstacle in one’s path, whether for personal fulfillment or mainly a purpose just to show that it can be done. After piercing the skin with the iconic “Coma Of Souls” (1990), starting the 90s with an iron fist, unanimously it was decided in the band that right after attain such a formidable status, it was time to break away and set course into a different world. Such a world that in the end might not be overly far from their beastly habits, yet much more dark, mysterious, even charmingly gothic, filled with ounces of pain, misery and dismay due to society’s crumble and the human condition. Not bashing up skulls as used to in the past, Kreator proved that “Renewal” has its rougher edges, some of them even sharp and can shed blood at will. Even with mid-tempo, and on a few occasions slow tempo thrusts, the horrific past, present and future of the social structure is no less mortifying.
Maybe the need for change wasn’t because the band wanted it but also because the market demanded it as it changed as well. On the other hand, Kreator were never sellouts and remained true to their strong beliefs. “Renewal” is the band’s successful debut step outside of the Thrash Metal boundary, a marker that would eventually remain throughout the band’s 90s era!

The fifth full-length studio album by cult Brazilian Death Metal band.
Brazil’s own Krisiun have been a trademark for sheer musical violence and a steady nominee for the title of the globe’s fastest Death Metal act throughout their 12 years of unmerciful existence. Reaching long player release number five, there couldn’t have been a more suitable album title than “Works Of Carnage” to describe the all-annihilating nature of these three brothers’ song-creations. Displaying the impressive tightness and songwriting wisdom only a band with enormous stage-experience (and yes, Krisiun can present an indisputably over-the-top agenda for destroying stages all over Europe, Japan, North and South America) could evoke, “Works Of Carnage” offers the listener a through and through compact masterpiece of modern high-speed brutality in flawless production and unmistakable devotion for the cause of Death Metal!
The realms of Death Metal haven’t been the same ever since Krisiun’s appearance, and this new effort serves as perfect proof to remark the band’s leading status and outstanding weight in today’s metal scene. Intimidatingly pounding and crunchy in production, “Works Of Carnage” features Krisiun at their best: savage guitar-riffs teaming up with utter blastbeat speed, groovy midpaced breakdowns, guttural growls, and an immense technical instrumental work edge which never ruins the overall catchiness of the unholy track-attacks. Having said that, Krisiun are adding a very sinister and vile spirit to their new album by incorporating several intro-like textures between the actual songs and also offer a rendition to one of their main inspirations, Venom, by covering their classic “In League With Satan”. Furthermore, cover artist Jacek Wisniewski (Vader, Marduk, Malevolent Creation, etc) has flawlessly captured the essence of Krisiun in excellent artwork which elevates “Works Of Carnage” to an absolute must-have release for every fanatic of Extremist Metal!
This album is dedicated to the memory of our great friend and former Krisiun member Altemir Souza (R.I.P.).

Debut full-length album by Italian Doom Metal band.
Krown are the new Italian gods of slow, heavy old school classical Doom Metal. This excellent power trio created a wonderful, heavy and catchy slab of premium Doom for everybody into bands such as Black Sabbath, Trouble, Electric Wizard or even Type O Negative and Kyuss!
With lyrics based on the writings of famous fantasy authors such as Howard, Tolkien, Moorcock, & Martin, and cool cover art to boot, much of what you get here on their latest is quite simply crushing dark fantasy themed Doom.
"Hyborian Age" is a serious, crushing Doom album from this very 'un-Italian' sounding band. The whole 'dark fantasy' themes add even more intrigue to what is a very old school styled Doom album. One thing is for sure - this band is totally addictive.
If you like Doom Metal and old school Heavy Metal - you must check this amazing band out then! Wonderful music deserves to be heard!!

The debut full-length album by Norwegian Black Metal band.
This is a project of musician of bands such as: Mök, Astaroth and Attentat.
“Noema” presents us with an excellent view of Black Metal, very eerie and melodic. But the album isn’t “limited” to Black Metal, there are some Punk and Doom elements which are very welcomed when used with creativity and quality, such is the case of “Noema”. In a way, you might feel that, especially when it comes to the guitars, this is one more pure Norwegian Black Metal album that could have been released by Mayhem or Gorgoroth, but, if you pay attention to the details, this is a unique release and not an album in which the musician simply wanted to recreate the old-school classics.
The drumming work is very enjoyable, fast and chaotic, completely fitting the music created by Kvalvaag. The production is clean, many a little bit lo-fi, but no Black Metal listener would complain about it, so one more positive aspect for Kvalvaag’s “Noema”. All in all, this is highly impressive, even more for being the band’s first full-length album. Amazing stuff!

The seventh full-length studio album by American Progressive/Psychedelic Sludge Metal band.
Kylesa have returned as challenging and daring as ever on their seventh full-length. Moving well beyond their trademark riffs, "Exhausting Fire" sees core-founding members, Laura 
Kylesa tap into the infinite with their epic new album. "Exhausting Fire" sees the acclaimed band weave a lush tapestry of their storied sound that exudes confidence, conviction and class. Pleasants and Phillip Cope, expanding and evolving. The dualism of Pleasants' versatile singing and Cope's shouted vocals melds perfectly with the constant change in sound.
The colossal riffs, dreamy and hypnotic song-craft, and distinct call-and response vocals crush and caress in equal measure - "Exhausting Fire" is as expressive and expansive as emotion itself, and the definition of strength and elegance.
Shifting effortlessly from heavy Hard Rock riffs to Punk-infused beats to even barren Cold Wave concoctions, "Exhausting Fire" sees Kylesa progressing in ways never thought possible and is undoubtedly one of the best records of 2015. This is Kylesa at their best!

Debut full-length album by Post Dark Gothic Rock/Metal band from Italy.
The band follows the great tradition of bands like A Perfect Circle, Katatonia, Anathema, Isis offering with their debut a wide range of emotions in some moments more refined and psychedelic, in others very aggressive. The great impact and evocative vocals, the dreaming progressive tones of the rhythmic session and the graceful and powerful at the same time sound of the guitars lines are the main elements of their wonderful artistic expression.

The third full-length studio album by legendary American Glam Metal band.
Released in 1991, the meticulous production gives the album a sound typical of the period - a full sound, with lots of background harmony vocals, layered guitars and additional keyboard tracks.
The album starts in a more somber note with "Over the Edge", which was used in the film Point Break, but the bulk of it consists of standard Hard Rockers, such as "Kiss My Love Goodbye" and "My Koo Ka Choo". The band aims for the ballad hit several times, in "Crystal Eyes", "It's Over Now", and the 1950s-style "I Found You", attempting to repeat the earlier success of their major single "The Ballad of Jayne".
While no track from the album topped the charts (and the band's success declined soon afterwards as their style fell out of commercial favor), "Hollywood Vampires" presents various shades of the band and is representative of the late 1980s - early 1990s Heavy Metal scene, with riff-laden songs and big choruses on every song.
Rare first pressing edition with slightly different track listing. Track 11 is "The Ballad Of Jayne" (a shorter version than the one that appeared on the "Cocked & Loaded" album) instead of the song "I Found You" which appeared on other pressings.

The sixth full-length studio album by legendary American Hard Rock/Glam Metal band.
Produced by former Guns N' Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke, "Shrinking Violet" is a harder-edged return to L.A. Guns' roots in Sleazy, crunching Glam Metal a la Kiss and Mötley Crüe.
Every track on this CD is a winner. Seriously, its really good! This is not the raw garage band that L.A. Guns has become known as, but largely sounds like a band trying something new because they have nothing to lose.
The songwriting is actually quite consistent overall; the end result is a surprisingly focused and effective album by a band that appeared all but spent as a creative force. New singer, Jizzy Pearl (ex- Love/Hate), brings a nice raw sound back to the band, as does Clarke's restrained yet muscular production. Gilby Clarke also provided additional guitars on the track "Dreamtime".

Second full-length album by Italian Space Rock/Progressive Metal band.
The Italian outfit La Sfera is a special band. They're a combination of Progressive Rock, Alternative Pop and classic sixties Pop. That’s the best and easiest to describe them. Daniel Pucci has a strong and clear voice, one which will fit in a lot of genres. He’s supported by snarling guitars and Heavy Metal drums with a lot of synths. There’s been twitching around in the music as well, but in a good way. They alter the music by adding something to it, not taking something away. The music is catchy, almost too good to be true, but there’s also this ridiculous side to it. The tracks are diverse and don’t repeat themselves too much. Although they combine a scale of different genres, each song stands on its own.
"Where Man Breaks" is a difficult album to describe, because it’s so wide and special. Try combining "Dust In The Wind" with "Master of Puppets". Does that sound good? Then you might give this album a try! Not your thing? Then you might have an incredibly bad imagination, or this thing just might not be for you.
