CD

The debut full-length solo album by American Dark Electro Pop singer (ex- She, Zilch).
Harmonious mixture of Pop-Rock, Trip-Hop, Ambient, Industrial, Electro and Darkwave, seasoned with a powerful and sensual singing, featuring Sean Brennan (London After Midnight)! Bjork, Trent Reznor and Massive Attack in one (and so comely) face!
"A fusion of blissed out programming and dreamy vocals with something dark and dirty lurking underneath" - Metal Hammer Magazine.
Sound and instrumental component of the album is impeccable. Songs from the album sound as soundtracks on the film's 'Saw 2' and 'Saw 3' along with ASP, Samsas Traum, Skinny Puppy, Queens Of The Stone Age, London After Midnight, Papa Roach, Mudvayne and Marylin Manson!!

The debut full-length studio album by Italian Progressive Metal band.
“Imperviae Auditiones” is a good Prog album. Barbara Rubin’s vocals are very good, taking the listener on a journey through the story of each song. The Progressive elements of the album are also excellent – the ‘twiddly’ bits which are associated with this genre aren’t overdone, so the listener isn’t sitting there thinking ‘when is this going to end?’ Indeed, every member of the band is a talented musician, and they all get their time in the spotlight with wonderful solos. They all come together very nicely.
Overall, “Imperviae Auditiones” is a solid album. Recommended to anyone looking for something a bit different for their CD collection.

The fifth full-length album by legendary Spanish Gothic Rock/Darkwave band.
Los Humillados return to the world with an unexpected new album! Active since 1985, the band returns to the burden with an excellent new album that features 16 all new, unreleased tracks. After 9 albums, several works shared with other bands, and after many collaborations with international acts, the cult band finally break a six years lasting silence to present this incredibly mature and solid album.
The most prominent exponent of the Spanish dark scene is back with a very elaborate sound, a meticulous production and a unmistakable, particularely bleak and unique style. The semi-hidden sound effects, orchestral choirs, whispers from the graves and the pace of military marches, give this album a bleak atmosphere, a mosaic sensation of impossible love dreams, mysterious hidden stories, melancholy and shocking lyrics.
For fans of: Joy Division, The Cure, Death in June or Dead Can Dance without forgetting Eyeless in Gaza...!

The second compilation album by cult American Heavy/Doom Metal/Rock band.
After a long absence, Lost Breed (now known as Vengeance Brothers) returned with “Bow Down”, marching in their classic Heavy/Doom paths. The band defines itself as a pure Doom Metal one, but in our ears, it’s more like a sweet combo of Heavy Metal, Southern Rock and Hard Rock. We’ve grown used to call bands like Candlemass as representatives of the Doom genre, since we’re Europeans, although now we’re dealing with the American version of Doom genre, which holds dear the combo aforementioned, plus some Garage Rock elements, to spice things up.
From a general spectrum, the tracks are satisfactory, without being too fancy or extravagant. The compositions are bouncy, while some heavy outbursts surprise us. The album’s quality is raised by Baestlein’s guitar solos and Silver’s drum choices, while Augustine’s distinct bass steals the show.
Twelve of the seventeen songs included in the album were already released in the compilation album “Wino Daze” (2007). We’re talking about tracks like “Lumberjack” with that nice intro and its intense bass and drums that lure you into their rhythm cave, “Shot Glass Eyes” and “Two Strong Fists” that have a more up-tempo and the heavy gem “Lock Up Your Daughters”.
After these already released pieces, we stumble upon another five that were released under the “Vengeance Brothers” name (the band acquired this name after parting ways with Pat Lydon). These tracks have a more Rock'n'Roll and Southern character, which is evident mainly in the guitar solos. In all of these compositions, the bass is clearly audible, without being treated like secondary instrument, as many musicians do. The title track “Bow Down” is quite uplifting and leads on your first beer right before dusk. Loud drums are found in “Manifest Destiny”, in which we encounter a great solo by Baestlein, as well. “Candy Store” and “Crystal Deth” are fast in speed and short in duration.
Generally, “Bow Down” is a record with a strong biker essence that is found only in remote areas of the American countryside. The musicianship between the members of Lost Breed seems to be very stable and has tied basis, which explains why the result is decent.
If you like anything from the now closed Hellhound label, then expect great things. Bands like Revelation, The Obsessed, Saint Vitus, Unorthodox and so on are all in tune with Lost Breed, although Lost Breed are more Rock and Roll than pure out and out Doom of other artists mentioned. This CD documents Lost Breed’s contribution to that phoenix rising from the ashes, a post 1995 release. This is a nice compilation with decent clear artwork, that stimulates your ears with tales of drugs, alcohol, woe and basically real life stuff. This is certainly a good value CD package for its musical content and really worth checking out for fans of Lost Breed’s development post official break up!!

The debut full-length studio album by Italian Heavy Metal band.
Originally formed in 1996 and takes their name from a Crimson Glory' s song, after a five year break while frontman Fabrizio Fulco was in Florida working as bass player with the Ben Jackson Group (Crimson Glory's guitarist solo project), Lost Reflection are back together and have just released their album "Florida"!
After his great experience with the Ben Jackson Group, Fabrizio gets back to Italy to dedicate himself to Lost Reflection again. And the new album has an 80's Sleaze Rock feel to it mixed with more modern influences, and is well worth checking out!
Highly recommended for fans of Ratt, Bon Jovi, Alice Cooper, and Crimson Glory!!

The fourth full-length album by German Thrash/Death Metal band.
With this album, band finalize their end time-trilogy that was started with "Marauders" and continued with "Parasites". The end of the world has come, and Lost World Ордер are the prophets of ruin in a disturbing dystopia.
The band was founded in 2008, gained a wide fan base with the free download of "Marauders" and even raised it with "Parasites" with the CD-version released via GoodDamn Records. 
"Tyrants" is characterized by aggressive riffs, which are situated somewhere between classic Bay Area and German Ruhr area, the impulsive drumming and the pumping basslines. Twin guitar leads with NWOBHM-vibes and catchy chorus lines create modern walls of sound. The vocals set priorities from Thrash-shouting over growls to dark clear singing.
The production of the album is transparent and brutal yet absolutely natural. The band recorded the basics to the album live at the Soundlodge-studio, which is underlined by the energetic performance. Jörg Uken perfectly caught the essence of the band and created a modern, non-artificial sound.
The anthemic quality of the hooks and chorus of many of their songs adds to their calibre not only as Thrash Metallers, but also heavy Metallers. They’ve taken advantage of Germany’s rich Metal roots and taken their work to the next level – wowing fans new and old. Strangely, some of their songs also have a Mercyful Fate quality to them, with the storyline within each other instead of the whole album, which again is innovative and special. The elusive thing stalking in the album is somewhat aspiration for experiments, which adds something modern in the sound. The moderated melodies and the non-traditional rhythms make the songs individual.
“Tyrants” is the consequent development of the band’s sound and won’t disappoint anybody who is willing to take a look beyond his own nose!

The fourteenth full-length album by legendary Japanese Heavy Metal band.
It seemed that it wasn't really Loudness with only Akira left from the original band. Sure, Loudness no longer sound like they did on popular releases like "Thunder In The East" and "Soldier Of Fortune", but then again, those albums sounded like any number of 1980's Heavy Metal bands. The 90's releases from Loudness are quite unique and sound like no other band. Songs like "9 Miles High" are quite good. This particular song is a mixture of classic Thrash Metal layered with some 70's wah-wah guitar from Akira. "Wicked Witches" on the other had has a slow, Doomy, almost Stoner Rock/Metal sound. "Crazy Go-Go" sounds a bit like Loudness cover classic Kiss, although it is an original song. The track six, "Kaisou", is an odd Jimi Hendrix influenced instrumental that acts as an intro for "Babylon". "Taj Mahal" is a Middle Eastern sounding song that seems a bit out of place on this CD. "Mirror Ball" adds a bit of Funk to an otherwise heavy track. "Nighcreepers" is a fairly heavy song that finishes out the disc quite nicely. 
Very interesting brand of Heavy Metal with some slight Alternative touches. Inventive, highly original guitar work and not very annoying vocals. Much better than 80's hairy stuff from the same band! There is a ton of experimentation, but there is still plenty of meat to chew on!!
CD features fold-out cover-booklet and separate booklet with lyrics in Japanese. This is one of those Loudness albums that is only available as an Japanese import.

Re-release of the twenty-fifth full-length studio album by the legendary Japanese Heavy Metal band.
More than 30 years in, these Japanese Metal veterans are still finding new ways to deliver on their name. Their new 11-track outing goes beyond the KISS-meets-Accept vibe of Pop-Metal faves like “Crazy Nights” and “Heavy Chains” from 1985’s "Thunder In The East".
Injecting furious bursts of Thrash and Power Metal, the quartet thrives off founding guitarist Akira Takasaki’s worship at the altar of Van Halen and Randy Rhoads, even if this isn’t his most precise, clean playing ever.
This album is the second without their original and beloved drummer, Munetaka Higuchi, that died of cancer almost three years ago.
Akira Takasaki, the mastermind behind the zealous Loudness and its achievements, has been tagging additional influences that were shaped into the band's sound and music. The guitars reminded a bit of past glories but also maintained the present raw modern touch. Judging by the list of eleven songs, Takasaki hasn't lost his amazing lead guitar skills. His solos have always taken to classic Rock, Hard Rock and shredding Heavy Metal blisters. 
When the entire lineup was playing Loudness came up with good songs filled with 80s Metal takeovers. "Come Alive Again" is something that can be recognized as a classic. "Survivor" and "The Power Of The Truth" were good examples of how Loudness made good use of modern Metal while mixing it with older Metal roots. Still, on hard-charging cuts like “Keep You Burning”, Loudness conveys an unrestrained attitude of fierce self-determination remarkable for a band in its third decade.

The first full-length studio album by Italian Symphonic Power Metal band.
What was not so long ago known as the bombastic Symphonic Power Metal figurehead - Rhapsody, then slowly became the not as good Rhapsody Of Fire (the name changed because of a now well-known copyright issue), and split in 2011 to become two distinct bands: Rhapsody Of Fire (Alex Staropoli, Fabio Lione), and Luca Turilli's Rhapsody.
Created by Luca Turilli after his departure from Rhapsody Of Fire, the album considered by band as their own "Rhapsody's 11th album". Turilli likes to label his music as "Cinematic Metal" - a Rhapsody's legacy since the band (allegedly) invented "Hollywood Metal" in the 90s. And "Ascending To Infinity" is precisely that: Cinematic Metal. It starts with an introductory track featuring Electronica, a badass voice-over telling you to sit back and prepare to be amazed (like in any self-(dis)respecting awful movie trailer), and a choir singing random Latin verses. Wow! The self-titled track "Ascending to Destiny", "Dark Fate of Atlantis" and "Excalibur" are here to testify that we are unmistakably dealing here with a true Rhapsody album!! Huge piles of cheese, frantic guitar and keyboards sections (even bass in "Dark Fate of Atlantis"), exhilarating rhythm changes, and of course choirs, choirs, choirs, and then some more choirs!!! Grandiloquence, grandiose, grand-everything!!!! Haters gonna hate, lovers gonna explode!!!!!
Not everything is the traditional material you can expect from this band however. "Dante's Inferno" and especially "Tormento E Passione", both deliver darker vibes we are not accustomed to hear in Rhapsody efforts. This track offers whirls of piano keys, a beautiful man-woman duet and an outstanding finale in which the excellent vocalist Alessandro Conti (Trick Or Treat) truly shows his mastery. He also shines in "Luna" (Alessandro Safina cover), an almost smooth Jazz song very enjoyable but which also feels a bit out of place in this album.
But fear not, for the Hollywoodesque and catchy “Clash of the Titans quickly” puts the album right back on track, and the 16-minute long ending track "Of Michael the Archangel and Lucifer's Fall" concludes the experience with an epic tale divided in three chapters. Haters hate, lovers go boom!
It seems the 2011 split-up was the brightest idea for Rhapsody. Although "Ascending To Infinity" still lacks a bit of the catchiness and frenzy fans of the band may rightfully expect, it remains a rock-solid effort with very good moments and purely stellar musicianship!! Pretty good job!!!
It is the only album to feature Alex Holzwarth on drums, as he subsequently decided to focus on his duties in Rhapsody Of Fire.

Remastered re-release of the 7th full-length album by cult Ukrainian Black Metal band.
This was the beginning of a new Era of Adversaries of light. Those who don't cast a shadow. Those who strangled the first ray of virginal light. Those whose two endless poisonous streams entwined in one bloody knot...
This is the first album with Stabaath, and also the first album not to feature a Russian title.
Over 40 min. of Furious Satanic Black Metal Obscurantism for those who are able to breathe Darkness.
Re-edition is limited to 999 copies and contains different artwork.

The 15th full-length studio album by Ukrainian Black Metal band.
The first Ukrainian Black Metal formation. Still Black Metal. And they are proud to be alone on their path in full isolation, with true "f**k you all" attitude: no live performances, no official site, no social networks, no interviews, no promo gifts. 
Signature and most obscurantist poison, created with passion and dedication. Extremely emotional result of hard efforts, without any chemical and spiritual stimulants. This frenetic album will remain a deep trace in the souls that aspire to comprehend the real Black Art!

The 18th full-length studio album by Ukrainian Black Metal band.
26 years on the Damned Path. Far away from trends, hype and other human shit. A flaming spear of arrogance and loneliness over the world of spiritual poverty and mass imitation. Rejection of any authorities in the musical establishment. Deliverance from human weakness through the Music in the impulse to rise above the body. Absolutely different understanding of human's tragedy and the beauty of Devil's origin inside a man.
Limited to 999 copies release comes with 12-pages booklet.

The 14th full-length album by Ukrainian Black Metal band.
The riffs are complex but driving, the production is weird, cold, and alienating (everything you expect and want from Raw Black Metal).
The first time on Lucifugum's cursed Path Khlyst has performed vocals (due to critical problems with her throat Stabaath was unable to complete the cycle of verbal revelations).
Tracks 3 and 5 are re-recorded versions of track 3 on "Sectane Satani" (2007) and track 4 on "Involtation" (2006).

The second full-length album by Ukrainian Symphonic Funeral Doom/Death Metal one-man band.
The new work by the Ukrainian project continues the ideas of the debut album. However, this time, the album is divided into two epic tracks.
Unleashing over 50 minutes of crushing Symphonic/Atmospheric Funeral Doom Metal, “On the Other Side of Life” delivers waves of brilliant atmospheric passages filled with crushing Doom riffs and proficient tempo changes.
The first part of this release comes under the 21-minute long “Grey Heaven Fall”, a highly atmospheric piece that nicely sets the mood. While there are not vocals in this release, the heavy riffs and powerful ambiance makes you forget about this and allow you to enjoy the release without even noticing.
If you thought the first song was long, the album title track “On the Other Side of Life” is even more grandiose with its 33-minutes of weeping guitars and punishingly demoralizing Doom! This song is comparable to the works of Mourning Beloveth and Mournful Congregation, but with an additional splash of Atmospheric elements. As the song progresses, the atmosphere continues to get bleaker and darker, making it perfect for this type of release.
Instrumental Doom/Death Metal by Luna, melodic, with a touch of Symphonic and Epic, perfectly serves as a soundtrack to the fantasies giving birth to new mythical worlds in the gloom of the night. This two-song monumental release hits all the right notes in terms of the genre and establishes the band as one of the premiere Atmospheric/Symphonic Funeral Doom Metal acts. If you like Shape Of Despair, Mourning Beloveth, etc., but could do without the vocals, Luna is a great alternative!
