The fourth re-release of the second full-length studio album by legendary Finnish Progressive/Folk/Gothic Melodic Death/Doom Metal band.
"Tales From The Thousand Lakes" is a concept album based on the Finnish national epic, Kalevala. The album was an influential release in the development of the Melodic Death Metal genre, predominantly mixing the genre with Death/Doom and Gothic Metal, compared to the band's Death Metal debut. The album's song structures are considered to be progressive. The album also has elements of Psychedelic music and Folk music. The music is considered to be less extreme than other Melodic Death Metal releases, incorporating Heavy Metal singing in addition to Death Metal growls on some tracks. The instrumentation draws from Neo-Prog. This showcases a more melodic sound for the band, with hints at their later, more Progressive direction. The album also introduced synthesizers and clean vocals to the band's sound, though the latter was used sparingly.
"Tales From The Thousand Lakes" is the first Amorphis release to have an official keyboardist, Kasper Mårtenson, as any previous of the band's releases had the band's own drummer, Jan Rechberger, provide the empty keyboardist role until the band decided to have a keyboardist and also to find one being Mårtenson. With Mårtenson in the band, it is the first time the band's original lineup changed by having an additional member. Jan Rechberger would leave the band after this album but rejoin the band for 2003's "Far From The Sun".
The influence of Amorphis’ second album can be heard in countless branches of the history of Metal. The Finnish band’s incorporation of their homeland’s native melodies and lyrics based on epic poetry had a clear impact on the development of Folk Metal, while the kinetic riffs of “Drowning Maid” and melodies of “Black Winter Day” laid down foundations for the then-burgeoning Melodic Death Metal genre.
"Tales From The Thousand Lakes" is the most commercially successful Relapse release, selling over 100 000 copies to date.
Limited Edition to 2133 copies, Custom Galaxy Merge Vinyl.
Relapse Records, 1994/2023 (RR7414 | LP4984R / RR49841). Made in Czech for the USA.

- Price in bonus-scraps: 59
The third DVD by the legendary British Progressive Doom/Death Metal/Alternative Rock band.
The 14 concert tracks are displayed with the index so the Pink Floyd fans can jump right to the final track of "Comfortably Numb". As Floyd cover bands are proliferating, it's kind of nice to hear an actual group that is its own entity do a cover along with their other material. And they do a nice Rock & Roll job on it, not to mention the fact that their music runs a sort of parallel to big Pink.
The concert footage is wonderfully filmed and the sound is delightfully eerie. The main concert was filmed and recorded at Metalmania Festival, Spodek, Katowice, Poland, March 4th 2006. There are additional tracks of: "Sleepless", "Dying Wish", the Peter Green/Fleetwood Mac classic "Albatross", and "Fragile Dreams" from a 2004 Krakow concert. The lighting, sound and dynamics are par excellence! A real find and something that should garner the band a larger fan base!
Guest performance by Bacchus String Quartet.

The third full-length album by Italian Progressive Thrash Metal band.
This band have been playing Thrash Metal for close to fifteen years now, and they are produces really good quality Thrash Metal, but not as you might expect. This isn't the incredibly heavy grind of Kreator, nor is it the more mainstream Thrash Metal that a lot of people will be familiar with.
The opening track, "N.I.F. (New Interstellar Force)" has a very atmospheric intro, and then becomes almost a Crossover Thrash tune. It's really catchy and a great way to kick off this record. The second track, "…Hyperspace", is everything you'd want from a Thrash Metal song; it's fast and aggressive, but has a lot of melodic elements thrown in as well. At some points, it has an air of Gama Bomb about it. "Sea of Stars" begins with a nice acoustic intro, before becoming a full-blown melodic Thrash Metal track. Like all of the songs on this album, the guitar work on this track is pretty cool. The album's title track is, like the last track, Melodic Thrash Metal, but with a bit more aggression thrown in there for good measure. "Colonizing Asteroids" opens on a very military, marching kind of drumming, bursting into life after about half a minute and turning into a song that sounds like what Megadeth would be like if they had gone more down a Prog route. The highlight of the end of the album is "Dead Zone", which is a powerful Thrash Metal anthem.
This band don't fit into the traditional pigeon-holes of Thrash Metal. They go for a more melodic sound, which a lot of other people will like!!

Re-release of the debut full-length album by Italian Thrash Metal band.
These Italians sure know their Bay Area Thrash! Ancient Dome has been working the scene since 2000, and released 3 demos prior to being signed by Punishment 18 Records. This recording experience is noticed in the overall sound of the band’s debut album.
The production is a little classic Thrash sounding. The bass is quiet and overall the mix feels very open, and overall very decent given the production of many other Thrash albums. Luckily Ancient Dome knows how to keep you interested, to listening to the album over and over. Looking forward to a couple particular tracks such as "Fall Of The Dominion" and the ultimate Testament homage, "Total Command".
For every hardcore Thrash fans who like classic Thrash Metal!!

Second full-length album by the Italian Thrash Metal band.
With their second full-length album, "Perception Of This World", band have decided to take their other influences further than they did with their 2009 debut album "Human Key". Ancient Dome don't really fail this time either. At first, the album is about speedy and simple Thrash Metal songs. They sound a lot like Bay Area Thrashings, but the band start to sound more individual, too. "Confused Certainty" includes some later Death style Technical/Progressive guitar work. This time around the performances from the musicians are better. It's great to hear, that the drums are now competent and devoid of clumsiness. The shouty vocals all the way through, sometimes reminding of Schmier of Destruction and Death Angel's Mark Osegueda. The band's biggest advantage is their style to give all those familiar influences their own stamp and turn it to sound like Ancient Dome.
Excellent technical and melodic Thrash Metal for fans of Sodom, Forbidden, Testament, Megadeth, Heathen, Metallica, Coroner, Artillery and Death Angel!!

Debut full-length album by the Dutch Gothic Metal band.
Helena Michaelsen's debut album, with her solo band Angel, is certainly one remarkable musical diary unveiling itself to all those who dare look at it. Here's the sad story of a little girl, through the misty tunes of Angel…
Beautiful looking Helena Iren Michaelsen fills our ears with beautiful vocal lines from the snowy country of Norway. She's been the singer for Norwegian Goth Metallers Trail Of Tears' first two albums but then departed and joined After Forever guitarist Mark Jansen, ex-Cassiopeia guitarist Ad Sluijter and keyboard player Coen Janssen, Gurthang and Axamenta bassist Yves Huts (a.k.a. 'Enuresor') and drummer Iwan Hendrikx of M-90's, Silent Edge and Exivious. They all formed the venturous act Sahara Dust which would later be renamed into Epica and gain immediate commercial success. Unfortunately (or fortunately) Helena left the band a year later and…In 2003 joined God Dethroned's pairing of guitarist Henri Sattler and drummer Ariën van Weesenbeek in a new force entitled Imperia.
In 2004 Imperia released their debut album while in the meantime Helena also covered Dead Can Dance's "The Lotus Eaters" for a tribute album released by the Greek Black Lotus Records. In October 2004 Helena would see to her solo ambitions in the form of Angel which signed her a deal with Black Lotus Records. Shortly after, the promotional single "Don't Wanna Run".
The music of Angel however takes a very personal look into the deepest emotions of this beautiful lady singer. She opens her heart completely on these twelve songs, and combines this emotional trip with bombastic sounds, which makes this CD a very passionate masterpiece. The music is a mix of Pop, Gothic, Wave and Rock.
So what secrets lie within Helena's diary, waiting to be discovered by your very own ears? Melodies of sorrow, melodies of nostalgia, of love and hate, of passion and anger. The entire album is one big trip through memory lane together with a little girl that fills in the pages of her diary with her thoughts, with her feelings as the years pass by and she grows up to be…a woman. That's the feeling you'll get after listening for instance to songs like "Little Princess" or "Little Girl". Soft and innocent, these songs are just like a little kid, emotion-wise...
Helena Michaelsen's got an awesome voice but most of all she knows how to sing out her emotions!

Debut full-length album by Greek Progressive/Jazz/Fusion Rock band.
This debut full-length release is 78% instrumental and certainly not a head-bang fest. Be prepared, dear listeners, for a brilliantly chilled-out collage of genres in every track. If you are a fan of Jazz, smooth Jazz/Fusion, Blues, or Progressive Metal, you won’t have any trouble finding something to like on this album, and sometimes most of them within the same track.
Playing Fusion is not for the faint of heart nor the weekend warrior musician. Multiple tempos within one track, syncopated rhythms, different musical scales and echoes of anything from Progressive Metal riffs to down-home Blues pulled out of the ethers requires Samurai-like dedication to one’s instrument and an enormous corpus callosum. Whew! It hurts my head to even contemplate dissecting the components of each track. Anchor of the trio, Stornello, is a well-known guitarist, teacher and president of the Modern Music Institute. He also has his own album release called “Jazz It My Way”. He could give George Benson a run for his money). Terenziani is also a renowned guitar instructor and bassist. Both he and Caridi are band mates in Killing Touch. Terneziani and Caridi play in various separate bands, as well. The best showcase of Terenziani’s Jazz solo virtuosity is in “Traffic Jam”. Caridi proved himself the heartbeat of the entire album.
What is so extraordinary about this album, overall, is that not once did any instrument drown out the other. It’s not been a common occurrence to hear each well-played instrument being absolutely distinguishable, giving the listening audience an opportunity to appreciate individual artistry.
This album is sure proof of how exposure to and the playing of more than one genre can broaden one’s inventiveness and technical prowess. It also shows musicians and listeners, alike, that there are some really neat toys to play within our large musicversal sandbox.
Power Fusion certainly has the credibility and song-writing skills to be more than just a one-time fun project for the members involved. However, even if they never continue on, Power Fusion will remain a power example of state-of-the-art Italian Progressive/Fusion. There’s no denying that this album should get a title of one of the best albums of the few last years!

Both he and Caridi are band mates in Killing Touch. Terneziani and Caridi play in various separate bands, as well. The best showcase of Terenziani’s Jazz solo virtuosity is in “Traffic Jam”. Caridi proved himself the heartbeat of the entire album.
What is so extraordinary about this album, overall, is that not once did any instrument drown out the other. It’s not been a common occurrence to hear each well-played instrument being absolutely distinguishable, giving the listening audience an opportunity to appreciate individual artistry.
This album is sure proof of how exposure to and the playing of more than one genre can broaden one’s inventiveness and technical prowess. It also shows musicians and listeners, alike, that there are some really neat toys to play within our large musicversal sandbox.
Power Fusion certainly has the credibility and song-writing skills to be more than just a one-time fun project for the members involved. However, even if they never continue on, Power Fusion will remain a power example of state-of-the-art Italian Progressive/Fusion. There’s no denying that this album should get a title of one of the best albums of the few last years!

Debut full-length album by Greek Progressive/Jazz/Fusion Rock band. This debut full-length release is 78% instrumental and certainly not a head-bang fest.

The second full-length studio album by American Heavy/Power Metal band.
Founded by former Manowar drummer Kenny “Rhino” Earl in 2008, Angels Of Babylon recruited strong acclaim with 2010 debut album "Kingdom Of Evil", which featured Megadeth’s Dave Ellefson on bass. Line-up changes followed, but now the potent force of Earl, vocalist Diego Valdez (Skiltron, Helker), guitarist Ethan Brosh, and bassist Steve Handel (Seventh Calling, Protest), return with the band’s new album and a powerful ear-catching onslaught it is.
With rampant rhythms and sinew-bred riffs, coursing the melodic expanses giving breath to the songs, "Thundergod" is a thoroughly enjoyable if inconsistent encounter and one, which Power and Heavy Metal fans you can only suspect will devour greedily.
The opening title track is an ode to legendary Manowar drummer Scott Columbus (R.I.P.).
If you love melodic “True Metal,” then at least check out the good stuff, because it’s pretty damn good!

ANNIHILATOR “Alice In Hell” /CD/
- Product Code: RR 8723-2

€ 12.90
- Price in bonus-scraps: 129
Remastered re-release of the debut full-length album by the legendary Canadian Technical Thrash Metal band.
Annihilator's brand of technical, thinking man's Thrash Metal garnered many fans with this fine debut, arguably the best release of the band's career. A brief acoustic guitar piece called "Crystal Ann" introduces the excellent title track: a psychological murder thriller supposedly based on a disturbed young girl's true story.
Leader Jeff Waters takes himself a little too seriously at times (see the Edgar Allan Poe-influenced "Ligeia" and his ridiculously erudite commentary on each song's lyrics), but he is equally prone to refreshing flashes of humor on "Word Salad" and "Schizos Are Never Alone". The spectacularly named Randy Rampage proves himself to be a versatile vocalist on "Wicked Mystic" and "Burns Like a Buzzsaw Blade". The careening closer "Human Insecticide" is magnificent for its sheer speed.
The album is full of technical riffs and solos from guitarist and songwriter Jeff Waters that are sure to please any fan of Thrash Metal. "Alice In Hell" features very few dull moments, as each of the songs are very powerful in their own way, and would not look out of place on a record from any of the big four of Thrash. Somehow the band did not gain the same popularity as some of the other Thrash acts, especially in North America, which is unfortunate, as the band put out some very quality material. "Alice In Hell" ranks near the top of the band's discography, and is definitely an essential Thrash album!!
Re-edition features three bonus tracks!
