Debut release of Finnish Thrash/Groove Metal band.
Kamara´s roots heading all the way back to year of 2000, when Juha Minkkinen (guitar, vocals) and Tuomas Janhunen (guitar) founded a band called Lumessakahlaajat. There where whole bunch of starting musicians involved, but eventually Kamara´s line-up came clear after couple of years. In time, when band was called Lumessakahlaajat, they played only coversongs from bands like Timo Rautiainen & Trio Niskalaukaus and Kotiteollisuus. After few gigs band decided to start to make music of their own. “Tämäkin Vielä” it’s a first EP by the band, and it’s translates to "This And All". Kamara's music is full of energy, despite they don't play typical Metal. Thrashy guitars are joining Hardcore elements, Punk tunes and Rock and Roll feeling. All these elements are boiling in Kamara's melting pot and the result is fresh, catchy music bursting out with full of energy. Every song here is a hit. Heavy guitars are mixing with catchy tunes and effect means great. The opening track "Hohto" is a killer with a super melodic chorus and third song here - the title track - attacks with Thrashy guitars and shouting vocals. Last, there are Finnish lyrics and it's great.
Band presents interesting kind of Grooving Thrash Metal and highly recommended for all fans of genre!!

The tenth full-length studio album by legendary American Progressive/Art/Hard Rock band.
The band's first studio album for MCA Records. It featured a new lineup, as the band reformed after a period of hiatus.
Kansas took a dramatic change in musical viewpoints with the "Power", becoming more Hard Rock and Pop than Prog Rock, which"probably surprised longtime Kansas fans, but gave the band an interesting, if ultimately short-lived, new direction.

Debut full-length album by the Polish Black Metal band.
Seven hymns dedicated to Chaos Magick. Destructive Dark Metal. The band consists of former members of such Polish bands as: Taran, Supreme Lord and In The Depth Of Night. From the very first notes onwards, it is clear that these three men mean business. The first track “Invocation/Manifest” has an unusual almost Techno tempo to it, mixed with heavily distorted guitars and a stereotypical Black Metal type of vocal style. The entire album verges on being chaotic and discordant, but still somehow manages to maintain some semblance of cohesion throughout. The third track, “The New Aeon”, with its darker flowing melodies reminiscent of a less accessible version of Satyricon circa their “The Age of Nero” album.
Being the veterans of various other bands, Kaoskult clearly know what they are doing and incorporate a myriad of twists and turns into their music. At first listen, these appear random, disjointed, and haphazard, but upon reflection, each section does meld into the others. The golden standard adhered to throughout the album is variation, with each track being vastly different to the next. The almost disjointed sound seems to come and go in waves, with the beginning of the album being heavily laden with twists; this dies down considerably before being returned to in the middle of the album before again simmering down. The sound quality is also very good, with each instrument being clearly audible and each complimenting the other in terms of volume. Technically speaking, the music is well written, but does lack some of the raw emotions typically found in this form of Black Metal.
All in all, this is definitely one of the slightly more experimental Black Metal bands out there, not entirely dissimilar to other bands such as Abigor. If chaotic yet coherent is something that appeals to you, then giving them a listen!

​​​​​​​

The debut EP by British Melodic Death/Thrash Metal/Hardcore band.
Taking their name from the mythical sea creature in Homers "Odyssey", Karybdis aim to create waves of their own. The Anglo-French-Indian quintet play a powerful, unpretentious blend of Melodic Death Metal, Thrash Metal and Hardcore. 
Guitarist Pierro Dujardin and drummer Mitch McGugan formed Karybdis in late 2008 after leaving their previous bands to pursue something much heavier. Pierros childhood friend and veteran of the French Underground Metal scene, Gil Renault, was added on vocals along with Harsha Dasari (guitar) and Jay Gladwin (ex-Shut Your Eyes And Youll Burst Into Flames) on bass. After an intensive writing period, Karybdis recorded a 3-track EP with Tariq Mattar (Megadeth, Iron Maiden) and began playing regularly across London. 
"War For Land" is a crushing slab of invention and creativity brought with a skill and accomplishment of the highest order. Karybdis bring a storm of Extreme Metal across the EP as powerful and rich as the Greek mythology, which inspired their name. Each song is a blistering aural violation of Metal punctured and energised with challenging Hardcore influences.
"War For Land" is a stunning debut and the bringer of real promise for not only the band but UK Extreme Metal!

Re-release of the debut full-length studio album by legendary Swedish Depressive Death/Doom Metal band.
With their first album, Katatonia proved, that classic Death/Doom Metal need not come from England, whence, until then, the genre had flourished at the hands of Paradise Lost, Anathema, and My Dying Bride. In fact, "Dance Of December Souls" manages to drag Heavy Metal to a near-standstill along with the best of 'em, combining cookie-monster growls, slothful riffing, morbid guitar melodies, and slow but busy drumming into a mesmerizing wash of depression. Eight-minute highlight "Gateways of Bereavement" and the desolately beautiful instrumental "Elohim Meth" are both perfect examples of these exquisitely sluggish and gloomy capabilities, although other offerings like "In Silence Enshrined" and the fan favorite "Without God" do eventually pick up the pace somewhat - also with very positive results. Not so the ensuing twin monoliths stacked back to back, "Velvet Thorns (Of Drynwhyl)" and "Tomb of Insomnia", both of which exceed 13 minutes in length and prove simply suicide-inducing for all but the most patient of metalheads - despite any number of memorable passages strewn about their massive girths. Then again, it could be said that, by inspiring such thoughts of self-destruction, Katatonia accomplish their mission.
"Dance Of December Souls" has stood the test of time pretty well, and thus remains one of the Doom/Death genre's important building blocks.
This re-release features new artwork and the new age Katatonia logo.

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.

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 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.

The sixth full-length studio album by legendary British Synth-Pop singer.
The final album on which Marty Wilde had co-writer credits. The album is widely perceived by fans and critics (and Kim herself) as Wilde's most well-balanced, with many kinds of Pop represented: Dance, Ballad, Rock and Midtempo.
The album's lead Single was "Hey Mister Heartache", featuring backing vocals from Junior Giscombe – but its success was dwarfed by the follow-up Single, "You Came", which hit the Top 10 in many countries and just missed the US Top 40.
"Never Trust a Stranger" and "Four Letter Word" also reached the UK Top 10, although a fifth Single, "Love in the Natural Way", was less successful. Attention for the album was bolstered by Kim's support slot on Michael Jackson's European tour.
"Close" reached the Top 10 in the UK, almost all Scandinavian countries, Austria and Germany and went on to become Wilde's biggest selling album, being certified Platinum in the UK. In Australia, the album was less successful, peaking at #82 on the ARIA albums chart.
