The second full-length studio album by Italian Experimental Atmospheric Post Metal/Jazz/Rock band.
Two years after the great success of “Edari”, Amråde are ready to come back with their new album titled "Nåde" and once again the Avant-gardist duo created a visionary and deliriant Post Rock, Industrial and Depressive Metal, expressed through a very rich, artistic and surrealist sensibility, that gives it a recognizable feeling.
Recorded with Edgar Chevallier at Lower Tones Place Studio, Bargnatt XIX and Arsenic gave life to a new eclectic and modern release, pushing the extreme limits they created with their debut, far off standard music.
The impressive artwork by Jeff Grimal complete the essence of "Nåde".
Once again the word “vision” is the heart of their artistic proposal and with “Nåde” you'll enter into the most astonishing modernism, avant-gardism and Post-Industrial universe in the vein of the best Ulver, Manes, God Is An Astronaut!
Digipak includes 20-page booklet.

Second full-length album by Italian Hard’n’Heavy band.
AC/DC cover band that release their own albums seems to be a trend at the moment and this time it's the italian rockers in On-Off that releases a disc filled with basic boogie rock with flavours and spices from the Australian giants. They do already have a debut album from 2010 out, named 'Ribcrasher' in their history-book.
Old-school, powerful and dynamic rock 'n' roll, genuine and honest, absolutely without frills and with a punch that kills. The band has existed since 1999 and, over the years, have gotten a lot of practice as an AC/DC tribute band, and now they offer another album of their own music. 'Don't Forget the Roll' is a must for fans of AC/DC, Airbourne, Graveyard, the Black Crowes and the Rolling Stones!

Third full-length album by the Australian Extreme Metal/Crossover band.
One Step Beyond constructs a brand of Extreme Metal with no obvious parallels. They aim to craft each song to have its own identity.
Musically it draws from all elements of Extreme Metal and is constructed with utmost respect to the album format. It is intended to be more than a collection of the bands 11 best songs. Each moment is a reaction to what has come before it and is an instigator of what comes after it. One Step Beyond feels that all the songs stand strongly on their own, but are all enhanced by being played together.
The album has a recurring lyrical subtext, based on some of the ways chance impacts on day to day living. Examples range from gambling and drug abuse, to how a seemingly random event can shape an entire life.
The release includes 12-page digital booklet, made by famous Ukrainian designer Nurgeslag.
Recommended for fans of: Napalm Death, Macabre, Mr. Bungle, Enslaved.

American Edition of the seventh full-length studio album by legendary British Thrash Metal band.
Onslaught, led by founding member Nige Rockett, is primed to set the world on fire once again with one of the most ferocious Thrash Metal albums ever made!
Onslaught have become one of the bands that are now synonymous with the brilliance and endurance of today’s Thrash Metal movement, and it is always to the delight of fans and critics around the world when the band announces the release of a new record. Time to prepare once again!!
All fans of classic and modern Thrash Metal are going to be truly impressed with the high quality of the music found in Onslaught’s new effort. “Generation Antichrist” is the most welcome case of unsolicited brutality. "Generation Antichrist" is a killer modern Thrash Metal album, refreshing to hear the band on top form, especially after seven years since the last album. The band is more energetic than ever, with a solid collection of slamming heavy songs. Theirs is a sound that could not exist were it not for their past, yet they still make sure to keep up with the times in terms of tone and production.
This is band's first album not to feature Sy Keeler on vocals since 1989's "In Search of Sanity", and the first one to feature new vocalist Dave Garnett, as well as two new members, James Perry (drums) and Wayne Dorman (guitar). The reinvigorated old school Thrash Metal platoon simply kicking some serious ass throughout the entire "Generation Antichrist", with newcomer David bringing a huge dosage of adrenaline to the band with his raspy vocals and, therefore, pointing to a bright future in their already awesome career.
If you like your Metal music brutal and extreme, then this is definitely the album for you!!
As well as for all fans of Slayer, Sodom, Kreator, Metallica, Annihilator, Suicidal Angels, Anthrax, Destruction, and Necronomicon!!!
Deluxe Edition includes mini-poster + sticker.

Re-release of the debut full-length studio album by legendary Swedish Progressive Death Metal band.
Few bands have managed to capture the essence of their own art already in their very first recorded effort. Describing the music of Opeth is yet another difficult assignment, as the Progressive Death Metal label, which is often attached to their style, is far from incorrect but equally far from descriptive. The band’s Death Metal roots are obvious in their approach to intricate riffing and sudden tempo changes, although they never reach what the average listener would call fast paces; to this basic formula, Opeth add a huge does of melodic taste in the form of countless harmonies, tasteful acoustic passages and occasional clean vocals. This isn’t that much explanatory either, but then again, a band whose songs have an average duration of ten minutes needs to be experienced to be fully appreciated. This is a collaboration of so many different genres and styles of music that it is nearly unclassifiable. There are definitely elements of Death Metal, Traditional Metal, Doom Metal, Progressive Rock and even Jazz. There are definitely more elements, but Opeth takes all of these different styles and molds them together seamlessly. Exceedingly heavy riffs turn into Death Metal crunch, which then turns into a haunting acoustic passage, almost as if it was completely natural to bend a multitude of genres into a new sound. The musicianship is excellent. One should notice the difficulty of the riffs that are played immediately, especially if they’re a guitar player as well. The songwriting is excellent; everything seems to have its place. Each track on this album is exceptional on its own.
Opeth showed the world that they were the masters of Progressive Death Metal. “Orchid” is a true work of art from a band, that made excellence as its standard quality share!
Re-edition contains bonus track "Into The Frost Of Winter".

Re-release of the fifth full-length album by the cult Swedish Progressive Doom/Death Metal band.
Opeth managed to take control of their instruments and give birth to flowing, depressive, reverent music. The music in here goes beyond following timing, notes, keys, and flow. When writing the music, it seems as though all those elements were disregarded, and Mikael just allowed for beautiful music to flow out of his mind that reflected true beauty.
 You will have trouble finding another album with the same impact as this one. If you buy this album to sit down and relax with nothing else going on and listening to it start to finish, and you will be shocked! So, is it a masterpiece? Yes!! Is it a varied album? Definitely yes!! Is it really deserves 100%? Absolutely, it deserves much more than 100%, it deserves your attention and money!!!

First re-release of the sixth full-length album by the cult Swedish Progressive Death Metal band.
Following up a nearly ubiquitous critical smash such as 2000's "Blackwater Park" might seem like a daunting proposition for most bands, but Sweden's Opeth has made a career out of proving it is not just any other band, wowing observers with its boundless creativity and seemingly effortless brilliance. With producer (and Porcupine Tree leader) Steve Wilson once again on hand to assist in Opeth's quest to remain true to its origins while progressing ever forward, the band's sixth volume, "Deliverance" offers no great departure by established standards, but rather continues exploring the possibilities of this very fruitful relationship. And sure enough, for all of its continued aggression and overall compliance with Death Metal's key elements - blastbeat drumming runs, Mikael Akerfeldt's frequently croaked vocals and eternally bleak lyrics - "Deliverance" is altogether more subtle than any of its predecessors, approaching listeners with haunting nuances and masterful dynamics rather than overwhelming them with sheer mass and complexity.
Dominated as always by imposing ten-plus minute musical movements, this is creative evolution driven to perfection. Both opener "Wreath" and the ensuing title track eschew traditionally crushing Death Metal riffs for no less pummeling, hammered staccatos delivered with near-Industrial precision. The culmination of this quest for fluidity, third movement "A Fair Judgement" is not only the album's most accessible number, it's arguably also the best. Clearly the evolutionary successor to previous dam-bursting experiments such as Still Life's "Face of Melinda" and "Blackwater Park" 's "The Drapery Falls", its striking harmonies are borne out with a stately, elegant grace punctuated by what is sure to be one of the year's most beautiful guitar solos. A two-minute acoustic interlude called "For Absent Friends" allows for a short break prior to the album's two equally challenging but rewarding final epics, the incredibly multifaceted "Master's Apprentices" and the especially violent "By the Pain I See in Others".
All in all, some naysayers could very well label "Deliverance" as something of a "Blackwater Park" redux, but this would be a shortsighted reaction given the album's remarkable individual achievement. The fact remains that Opeth is still quite without peer in its contribution to advancing the cause of Heavy Metal in the new millennium, and in that light, "Deliverance" stands as yet another work of towering vision from this incredible band!!
"Deliverance" peaked on Top Heatseekers at No. 16 and the Top Independent Albums chart at No. 19, making it the first Opeth release ever to chart. Opeth also won a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance after releasing the album.

Special Edition of the tenth full-length studio album by the cult Swedish Progressive Rock/Metal/Jazz/Fusion band.
The album was recorded in early 2011 at Atlantis/Metronome Studios in Stockholm and produced by Mikael Åkerfeldt, engineered by Janne Hansson, and mixed by Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree, King Crimson). The album signals a departure from the musical style of Opeth's past albums, being one of only two albums by the band not to feature Åkerfeldt's signature Death growls (the other being "Damnation"). "Heritage" finds the Swedish band abandoning Death Metal: no growled vocals, no blistering fast power riffs and no blastbeats.
“Heritage” is easily Opeth's most musically adventurous recording. Written primarily by vocalist/guitarist Mikael Åkerfeldt, these ten songs are drenched in instrumental interludes, knotty key and chord changes, shifting time signatures, clean vocals, and a keyboard-heavy instrumentation that includes Mellotrons, Rhodes pianos and Hammond organs (ironic since keyboardist Per Wiberg left the band after "Heritage" was completed).
Opening with the title track, a haunting solo piano instrumental, it careens into the explosive "The Devil's Orchard", with spectacular, arpeggiatic guitar work by Fredrik Åkesson and matching drums by Martin Axenrot. With a huge, swirling B-3 in the backdrop, it melds Progressive Metal to Prog Rock, with Åkerfeldt's clear, clean singing. "I Feel the Dark" marries Åkerfeldt's classical guitar to piano, flute, a droning Martin Mendez bassline, and double-timed, quietly tense drum kit work. "Slither" sounds like Motörhead meeting early-'70s Deep Purple. "Nepenthe" begins as a ballad but shifts toward Jazz-Rock in the instrumental break before finding its way back to a middle ground with sparse instrumentation and taut dynamics. "Haxprogress" draws real inspiration from King Crimson; Mellotrons and nylon-string guitars give way to Åkerfeldt's crooning, thundering bass-lines, and syncopated drums. At eight-and-a-half minutes, "Famine" is the album's most abstract cut, with guest Alex Acuña adding Latin percussion to the mix, creating spaciousness in a long intro before giving way to colliding Prog Rock at the seam where King Crimson's "Larks Tongues in Aspic, Pt. 2" meets Jethro Tull's "Thick as a Brick." "The Lines in My Hand" is the set's most aggressive cut, with a deeply satisfying guitar crunch. "Folklore," with its myriad instrumental and vocal parts, complex melody, and breakbeats, comes off as an eight-minute suite before closing with another Jazz- and Rolk-inflected instrumental entitled "Marrow of the Earth."
Love it or hate it, "Heritage", for its many excesses (and stellar conception and execution) is a brave album. It opens the door for Opeth to pursue many new directions and reinvent themselves as a band.
Album has a critical and commercial success, and sold 19,000 units in the United States in its debut week, charting at number 19 on the Billboard 200.
Approached with an open mind, "Heritage' will certainly prove a rewarding listen for most experienced fans of the band, an album containing all the signature twists & turns that has become Opeth's trademark, albeit in a way totally new for the band. "Heritage" is arguably the band's 10th magnum opus in it's now 20 plus year career and without a doubt represent the grandest vision yet captured on an Opeth album!

The debut full-length studio album by Swedish Melodic Heavy Metal/Hard Rock/AOR band.
A nice blend of Scandinavian AOR with some melodic Metal pinches and a great voice, made just for making AOR music. Some virtuoso guitar parts, beautiful melodies and heartbreaking ballads are the ingredients of this album.
"Distant Encounters" is the kind of album you like being around, digging its music or not. It has class, it shows dignity in songwriting, it's full of melodic moments for the relative base and seems to be based on neat motives and clean intentions.
The album will also appeal someone that has nothing to do with the AOR music scene, so imagine that for sure will be a great album for all AOR fans!

Black/Death Metal band from U.S. with members from Deicide (Steve Asheim!!! and Kevin Quirion), ex-Tardy Brothers (John Li) and Council of the Fallen (Scott Patrick, Steve Asheim, Kevin Quirion).
ORDER OF ENNEAD, hailing from the legendary Tampa, FL, play a unique style of extreme metal. Blending elements of death and black metal seamlessly together with emphasis on songwriting and structure. The well trained ear can also pick up the distant influence of the days of thrash. Not forgotten is the ever elusive guitar solo that at times is melodic and other times shredding. Lyrically Order Of Ennead stand apart from the typical death or black metal topics.

The project of Angel Chicote, who has played or play in bands like Graveyard Of Souls, Mass Burial, Ad Nebula Nigra, Ultimo Gobierno, Sinergia, etc, all inside the Extreme music. Ornamentos del Miedo was born in mid-2017 as the need to strip the reality of all ornaments and mirages that we have built to adopt us, to a miserable existence across a deep and dark sound.
Ornamentos del Miedo, it is a trip to the depths of the subconscious, where truth exists naked and unpolluted by the ego and survival instinct. It is an oneiric experience where self-imposed reality fades it. Reflections on life and death. Dark and deep sound like the anguish of existing. For lovers of bands with their own sound.
The Spaniards sound very matured on this album. Nothing feels forced or rushed. Everything is patient, well-planned, and well-executed. There’s a great deal of beauty, emotion, sadness, and hatred in this music without there being too much overlap or there being chunky, awkward transitions. Musically speaking, this is a seriously impressive Funeral Doom release. The parallels that can be drawn from the subtle transitions from vulnerable to vengeful are entirely relatable in life, and the band has captured such effortlessly.
Great riffs, soaring solos, effortless control of songs, captivating atmosphere - Ornamentos Del Miedo attempt to bridge the gap between beautiful and terrifying. A must for any Funeral Doom fans out there!

The first live album by legendary Israeli Middle Eastern Folk/Progressive Metal band.
"The Road To Or Shalem. Live At The Reading 3, Tel-Aviv" is a well-produced live album, which primarily features songs from their albums "Mabool – The Story Of The Three Sons Of Seven" and "The Never Ending Way Of ORwarriOR". It is also the last professional recording of the band to include both of their original guitarists, Yossi Sassi Sa'aron and Matti Svatizky, who helped shape the distinctive sound of Orphaned Land with their mastery of innovative oriental guitar riffs. This adds an extra level of significance to the release.
The production of this show is worth praising. In addition to the band, there are several special guests (including Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree) and various session musicians playing a variety of instruments, such as percussion, flute, bouzouki, and more. These elements are all perfectly blended with the "traditional" Metal instrumentation of Orphaned Land, resulting in a rich and diverse sound that brings the songs to life.
"The Road To Or Shalem. Live At The Reading 3, Tel-Aviv" is a quality live album featuring some of the greatest songs Orphaned Land has written. Its performances and production are top-notch, capturing the atmosphere of a live show in an authentic yet highly professional way. If you are a fan of Orphaned Land, or simply someone looking to explore something original in the Metal world, you should definitely get this record!

The second full-length studio album by cult Brazilian Heavy Metal band.
One of the first real Metal bands from the south of Brazil. They were founded in 1986, but started with playing covers, before recorded a demo in Portuguese in 1988. This demo includes also the song "Orquídea Negra", which they never released again, as it is a cover song from the Folk Brazilian singer Zé Ramalho, and they never got the permission to use it officially.
After many line-up changes, only singer Andreé Graebin was left from the original line-up. Only in 1992 they managed to release their first album, "Who's Dead?", now in English. It was released by small label Krig-há-Bandôlo Records, with a bad distribution.
In 1994, band recorded the second album, but did not find a company. In 1995 the singer, which was the last original member of the band, leaves the band. Orquídea Negra finally self-released their second album in 1996.
The third album, "Blood Of The Gods", was released by Secret Service Records and Metal Soldiers Records with various bonus tracks.
