The second full-lenght studio album by Italian Death Metal band.
10 songs of pure and granitic Old School Death Metal, with the sound typical to Swedish over-gain and crunchy style - heavy guitars, like-a-tank bass, powerful and speedy drums, deep and intensive growls.
American Thrash/Death style has driven Crepuscolo’s style too. The 10 songs are the summa of Crepuscolo way of composing and intending Death Metal, nothing is left to chance, every note of every riff has been thought to be conseguence of the first one and the motor-breath of the following one, amalgamated by passion e feeling.
Lyrics are about many stuff: “My Scars Tell A Story” is a deep thought about how much hard sometimes life is; “Unzen” talks about a Japanese vulcano; “Under the Oak’s Shadow” is about our souls and the feeling with nature; “You Tomb” is an angry scream against apathetic people who prefer to stay in front of a computer instead of living a real life; “The Fate That Life Gives” is a reflection about destiny; “Not for the Mass” talks about the fact that Death Metal is not for everyone, but just for who live in that way; “Shock” is a shout against the earthquake that destroyed people lives 2 years ago; “Monomania” is inspired by a E.A. Poe’s novel; “Reflected Soul” is an istrumental song, dedicated to a friend who passed away; “Memento” is taken and translated from an Italian poet Iginio Ugo Tarchetti.
“You Tomb” recommended for fans of Dismember, Entombed, At The Gates, Grave, Sepultura, Obituary and more...

The fourth full-length studio album by Greek Extreme Power/Thrash Metal band.
These nine songs are a culmination of everything the band draws inspiration from. No longer a bridge between their various influences but a destination reached - Power/Thrash Metal amalgam carved with Death/Black Metal tools!
The album's lyrics speaks of how fire and stars, literally and metaphorically, have always fuelled human imagination for “good and bad”. Because through the ages men looked at the stars, those actual “fires in the skies”, and everyone found something different: gods, devils, angels, heavens or hells, aliens or ancient humans, our past and our future… And all these found their way in our lives through religion, science and art. Through them, stars left their mark in our history and, in many ways, their fire became a beacon for our future.
“Of Fire And Stars” highly recommended for fans of bands like Blind Guardian, Kreator and Iced Earth, as well as fans of all Extreme Metal styles!!

10th full-length album by the legendary Hard’n’Heavy band from Switzerland.
This album is awesome and the heaviest thing they had done in ages. It’s a relief for those who thought the band was finished after the lame previous record, that the band resurrected themselves, and crafted something really awesome. As well as being the band's first album on MCA Records, it saw the return of original Krokus founding member Chris von Rohr.
The attempt at re-connecting with their roots is obvious – not only their early guitarist Rohr, but re-recording a version of ‘Winning Man’ from their 1981 album ‘Hardware’ and using a mixture of material that includes speed metal attacks, and massive bombastic anthems like ‘Let it Go’ which are absolutely great examples of their classic sound.

The third re-release of the debut full-length studio album by legendary Portuguese Gothic Metal band.
In the ever Scandinavian-obsessed climate of the early to mid-90’s, album like "Wolfheart" were incredibly important, as they made a bold and defiant statement that there were bands from other countries singing about their own culture and rich folkloric history in pride and passion.
It's funny how, at such an early stage of their career, a band, from a country with a relatively unknown metal presence, can change their sound, and not only succeed, but make one of Metal's unique records. This is a vast departure from the morbid Occult Black Metal with Arabic influences showcased in their earlier "Under The Moonspell" EP, instead delving deeper into the newly-born Gothic Metal sound and its aesthetics. The black metal is still present, though, but in a more melodic form, not unlike the one of the Greeks Rotting Christ (which, casually, would start their turn towards the Gothic side of the Metal spectrum one year after this was released), in the form of tremolo-picked riffs and harsh vocals, and the Folk elements are not quite the ethnic and Arabic influences of the EP, instead using flutes and cleanly sung vocals, thus having a more native (at times, bordering on Celtic) feel. Those influences are in perpetual clash with the Goth Rock influences, like the emotional, bordering on melodramatic baritone vocal performance (with spoken parts) and the abundance of ethereal synths which are the main contributors to the eerie, Dark, Gothic-Horror themed atmosphere of the music. There are some female vocals too, but, they are used not in the obnoxious 'Beauty-and-the-Beast' way, but as background vocals, for most of the time.
"Wolfheart" is a high watermark in modern Lusitanian musical culture, and it's highly recommended for people who have an interest in actual Goth Metal, which can keep a sinister vibe! A wild (midnight) ride!!

The seventh full-length studio album by legendary German Thrash Metal band.
Old-school Thrash Metal with a modern production! Band got a hell of a lot more pedigree than a lot of people realize. After hitting the scene during the first wave of Teutonic Thrash Metal, alongside their more famous contemporaries Destruction and Kreator, these guys seemed to fade very quickly into near-total obscurity. It wasn’t for a lack of output, rather it was a lack of the luck. They’ve been nothing if not persistent though, because aside from a hiatus at the latter end of the 90s, Necronomicon have diligently plugged away at supplying a steady string of always respectable releases over the years. Amongst them, this 2012 effort ranks quite highly indeed.
What becomes quickly evident when listening to "Invictus" is how much more refined the new Necronomicon's approach is. This album certainly represents the zenith of the progression they have undergone over the years. Gone is the rough appeal, and in its place you'll find first-rate songwriting and a highly professional, up-to-date production style. What’s impressive is that in the process, they have managed to retain most of the manic energy that German Thrash Metal is so renowned for, even if it has become a little watered down by influences from the American Bay Area scene. The trade-off actually results in a much more interesting album. Stylistically speaking, this is straight-up Thrash Metal!!
"Invictus" is the album that manages to hold its own against some of the best Thrash Metal releases of the past years!!!
Box Set includes re-release of "Invictus" on CD with new cover artwork, cassette (released for the first time) and two patches.

Re-release of the third EP by the cult Japanese Thrash Metal band.
Japanese Thrashers Riverge undoubtedly love to Thrash and preferably the old-school way, to be accurate. It's quite unbelievable when you realize Riverge formed way back in 1985. They released a couple of cassette demos and appeared on a few compilations then went dark for 20 years until their first proper album, "Rebirth Of Skull", was rele ased in 2009.
Another full-length and a split brings up to their most recent release, 2013's 7-track EP titled "Back'Th'Rash". Riverge's stuff sounds like S.O.D. meets Slayer. Their Thrash comes across fast and furious, a crisp, heavy, violent attack and, best of it all, it also sounds amazingly well done. Riverge's vocalist Shoji Nakamura has a vocal tone that is similar to Tom Araya in his later years (no high-pitched screams or anything like that).
Original “Back'Th'Rash” features re-recorded materials of 1987 original 7" EP "Do A Threat For Eye" plus first time recording of '80s written song, as well as two new tracks.
The MC re-edition features completely new cover artwork and three bonus tracks recorded live at Clipper, Osaka, January, 25, 2014.

Remastered re-release of the first EP by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
The EP was released in 1984 through Metal Blade and Enigma Records. Slayer's debut album "Show No Mercy" became Metal Blade's highest selling, leading to producer Brian Slagel wanting to release an EP.
Although originally featuring three songs, the record evidences a marked evolution from the style of their previous album, "Show No Mercy", and is considered the first demonstration of the band's "classic" style displayed on later albums and is often described as a "stepping stone". Boasting the awesome "Chemical Warfare," a regular staple of Slayer's live shows, the "Haunting The Chapel" EP was a more crucial stepping stone in the legendary L.A. band's career development than much give it credit for.
Issued in between the band's very promising debut and the following year's more sonically ripened "Hell Awaits", "Haunting The Chapel" offers important clues about this transition period, which saw Slayer's Rock-based song structures give way to the non-linear, genre-defining style thereafter regarded as Thrash Metal's signature sound. Among the uniformly solid cuts here, the enduring fan favourite "Captor of Sin" is another highlight, making this a well-recommended release for committed Slayer fans.
The songs "Captor of Sin" and "Chemical Warfare" are regularly featured on the band's live set list. "Chemical Warfare" appears in "Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock".
"Haunting The Chapel" is definitely a highly recommended piece of work that is early Thrash Metal at its rawest and most aggressive form! A masterpiece!!

Remastered re-release of the first live mini-album by the legendary American Thrash Metal band.
It was recorded in New York City on their Haunting North America Tour (in front of a room of people) in the autumn of 1984. It has been questioned by both critics and authors that the audience sound may or may not be faked, however when asked if they were fake, producer Bill Metoyer said: "I don't know if I should tell you".
