MUSIC

The debut full-length studio album by American Death/Thrash Metal band.
Rhode Island’s Ritual Sacrifice was formed in 1988 and released five demos from 1989 to 1994. The band recorded their debut, "When Hope Is Pain", in 1995, which meant to be released the same year on Massacre Records. Unfortunately, it remained unreleased because the label decided to focus on different music styles than what the band was playing. "When Hope Is Pain" went unreleased until 2018, when the band made it available digitally. Guitar player Mike Longworth played with Prong for 15 years (as bass player), after Ritual Sacrifice split up in 1996.
"When Hope Is Pain" contains 13 furious and rather Technical Thrash Metal songs. The album relies on the excellent 90s atmosphere and constructs an almost technical oriented approach, with one of the tightest rhythm sections, which is sonically perfect across the entire album. The solos are melodic, peaking with each passing track, and executed with a charming precision. The vocals employ a standard approach, but on the whole the delivery is very Kelly Shaefer’esque, and it works beautifully on this record. 
Ritual Sacrifice has always been compared to bands as Cynic and False Prophet and of course Slayer and Dark Angel. If you like Death Metal even remotely, or a-la Slayer Thrash Metal, you need to check this release out immediately! Recommended, do get a copy!!
The release contains extensive liner notes from lead guitarist Bill Pincins.

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.

The fifth full-length studio album, and the second Christmas album, by the solo-project of legendary British Heavy Metal vocalist, singer of Judas Priest.
Released ten years after "3: Winter Songs", beside of the band's members this successor collection includes members of Rob Halford's family and his friends, and was released under the band's name Rob Halford With Family & Friends instead of Halford.
The album features Metallized Christmas carols and traditional holiday tunes, and a few Halford originals in the holiday vein, recorded specially for this project: "Celestial", "Donner And Blitzen", "Morning Star", and "Protected By The Light".
"God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen", "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing", "Joy To The World", and others get the full-on Judas Priest treatment, complete with chugging guitars, guitar whiz solos, and cowbell keeping time in tandem with sleigh bells.
"Celestial" is a fun reimagining of holiday and Metalhead traditions alike. Combine Halford’s voice, family and friends, the sound of classic Heavy Metal and Christmas, and you have a recipe for greatness, which is pretty much what "Celestial" is!
The vinyl includes download card.

The ninth full-length album by the legendary Melodic Hard Rock/AOR singer.
Robin Beck is full of surprises with her new album "Underneath". She allowed for some new writers to submit material to her this time. It was a great decision on her part, because she was “blown away” by what she found. This combination seems to be doing quite well for this Rock and Roll woman.
This album can also be considered somewhat of a family affair. Her husband and daughter also are a part of this album. Her husband, James Christian, is producing this album and duets with her on “Burnin’ Me Down.” Her daughter, Liv Beck, also does some vocal work on this album. They seem to be a musical family, and that works in Robin Beck’s favor. This album is definitely going to make an impact for female musicians everywhere, because of the prominent female voice that keeps staying alive in Rock music today.
Each song packs a punch of good vocal range and music that follows the lead. The album starts with “Wrecking Ball” and the title does the song justice. There is a riff that starts the track off with a build of energy. There is definitely a foot-tapping pattern that quickly develops with this album.
Outbursts of finger drumming are something that is a must when listening to this album. There are songs that really make typical anthems seem humdrum. Many of the songs have a call to action type of feel, so they evoke oomph immediately. “Sprain” is a great example of an action-bringing song.
Some of these songs have a bit of a Country meets Rock feeling, but that isn’t a bad thing. It works well for this album. The ’80s can be heard in her voice and the guitar riffs as well, but it seems to work. There is a unique sound with her voice that doesn’t sound like every other angry female-fronted band on the radio. There are a variety of sounds to look forward to on this album. “I Swear the Nights” is soulful and sultry, but it keeps the Rock factor easily. It works so well and sounds so right.
The collaboration that takes place on this album was an amazing decision on Beck’s part. The music, the vocals, and the lyrics work so well with each other. This album has not dull moments and is refreshing in a summer riddled with breakup songs and furious female vocalists!

The 24rd British and 26th American full-length studio album by legendary British Rock band.
Band's first studio album in over a decade, "Blue & Lonesome" takes the band back to their roots and the passion for Blues music, which has always been at the heart and soul of The Rolling Stones. "Blue & Lonesome" sees the Rolling Stones tipping their hats to their early days as a Blues band when they played the music of Jimmy Reed, Willie Dixon, Eddie Taylor, Little Walter and Howlin’ Wolf – artists whose songs are featured on this album.
The Blues is where it all began for Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, especially Chicago Blues. When Jagger and Richards began their friendship anew, they had run into each other on a train, Jagger carrying a Chess Records album of Muddy Waters and Chuck Berry. And yes, they and the rest of the lads would later discover the magnificence and wonder that is Robert Johnson‘s legacy of brilliance and beauty, but Chicago Blues has ever held sway in their hearts.
The album was produced by Don Was and The Glimmer Twins and was recorded over the course of just three days in December 2015 at British Grove Studios in West London, just a stone’s throw from Richmond and Eel Pie Island where the Stones started out as a young Blues band playing pubs and clubs. Their approach to the album was that it should be spontaneous and played live in the studio without overdubs. The band – Mick Jagger (vocals & harp), Keith Richards (guitar), Charlie Watts (drums), and Ronnie Wood (guitar) were joined by their long time touring sidemen Darryl Jones (bass), Chuck Leavell (keyboards) and Matt Clifford (keyboards) and, for two of the twelve tracks, by old friend Eric Clapton, who happened to be in the next studio making his own album.
This album is manifest testament to the purity of their love for making music, and the Blues is, for the Stones, the fountainhead of everything they do! Those that are about Chicago Blues, need not hesitate. This album is calling you!! Those who wondered when the Stones would record an album worthy of themselves, wonder no more. "Blue & Lonesome" belongs on every Chicago Blues and Rolling Stones lover!!!

The first re-release of the seventh full-length studio album by cult Czech Epic Heavy/Black Metal band.
From their beginnings as a very first-wave Black Metal act to their mutation into something Dark, Epic, and beyond easy categorization, this is a proper legendary act that carved their own dark path and basically founded the Czech Black Metal scene along with Master's Hammer, and it's impossible to understand the region's Metal scene without knowing something about them. Despite all the prestige and historical significance, most fans would agree that the band started to sort of fall apart, with longtime guitarist Blackhosh leaving after the divisive "Madness Of The Grave" and the band sort of falling victim to Big Boss' weirder musical ideas without anyone to help refine them into anything that wasn't either derivative of past glories or just indescribably baffling and awful. What's also agreed upon is that this album was the last release of their golden age, and the fact that, like most of the albums that came before it, it's an unparalleled masterwork.
Trying to describe Root to the uninitiated is like describing the true nature of hell to the godless, as their black metal base is so primordial and their later epic leanings so unique to them that the only meaningful way to discuss their albums is in comparison to one another. With that in mind, "Black Seal" is easily their darkest and most menacing work, with the direct numbers being the heaviest they've done and the more esoteric and mystical songs being the most absorbing and powerful to date. The former is made obvious with the album opener "Festival of Destruction", an incendiary track that stands as the best song they ever wrote with crushing riffs, Big Boss' powerful operatic bass, and a layered, hypnotic chorus unlike anything they'd ever done up to that point. The latter comes immediately after with the magical, almost waltz-like "The Incantation of Thessalonian Women", which displays odd, moody arrangements and a mix of soft croons with powerful blackened roars. To describe any other songs would be to rob this work of the surprises it has in every corner, but know that despite the final track being only six minutes of music and the remaining thirteen being dedicated to repeating the chorus while gradually pushing it back in the mix until it ends with silence, there's not a moment on here that isn't startling, haunting, and masterful to various extents.
As a unit, the band themselves has ever been tighter and more inspired. Blackhosh churns out his very best work with riffs that rise, blaze, and spit like the flames of hell itself and leads that wail and soar over it all like the cries of the eternally damned. Igor's bass work has never been heavier than it has here, and Evil's drumming gives this momentum and aggression it otherwise would not have had. Of course, when discussing Root, you have to talk about the all-powerful voice of frontman Big Boss, who went ahead and decided to give his best performance and one of the greatest ever heard in Metal at the ripe old age of fifty, with his commanding singing voice displaying more versatility, power, and style than before and his blackened bellows and roars sounding more evil and frightening than ever, perhaps more so than any vocalist in the style has ever done since.
This is the band's best album overall. They'd never again show a comparable command of their unique, arcane songwriting, and even compared to their other masterworks, there's a maturity, depth, and power to be found here that their other albums have, and we cannot imagine a better bookend to an unequalled run of unique genius from one of the best bands to ever do it. An album without flaws from a band without peers!

Re-release of the seventh full-length studio album by cult Czech Epic Heavy/Black Metal band.
The seventh album from cult gods Root is a bit of a step back, but after the incredible "Black Seal" anybody would be hard pressed to come up with an equally amazing CD. Root have been following killer album after killer album. And if we can say this album is not quite as good as albums like "The Book" or "The Temple In The Underworld", this is still a great album.
Root is one of those bands that don't sound like anyone else, because they are not followers of a sound, but originators. There are elements of Doom, Thrash, early Black Metal like Bathory, Progressive Rock, Atmospheric music, and ever swing. This album is a lot less Metal than previous albums, but still stomps most modern bands' asses like they were smurfs, and it only sounds less heavy in comparison with the bonecrushing "Temple In The Underworld". The melodies are a lot more accessible on this disc, and Big Boss has flavored his vocal lines with swing and big band influences.
This album is the most weird and eclectic Root material to date, and it travels from Doomy riffs to Thrashy, to Atmospheric interludes and delicate melodies. In some places, the melodies don't seem to quite work, even in the context of Root's already twisted soundscape.
So, this is another fine Root CD. The performances are spot on, and some of the songs are excellent, but here Root seem to have gotten a little too weird for their own good. All that aside, this is still a very good album, and it only pales in comparison to their other material. A worthy album from a singular and iconoclastic band!!

Debut full-length album by Alternative Thrash/Death Metal band from Italy.
10 tracks of disarming & melodic aggression, mixing Death Metal, Crossover and Psychedelic moments.
Powerful, surrounding guitars, acoustic intermezzos, dynamic and precise bass, devastating drums, intense keyboards and a voice that changes from a dirty growl to something cleaner begin to be the trademarks of the band. Consider it a sonorous seeks inspired by bands like Pantera, System Of A Down, Fear Factory, Hypocrisy, Morbid Angel and Mastodon.

Second full-length album by guitarist Ross "the Boss" Friedman (ex- Manowar) and his German Heavy/Power Metal band.
Following 2008's debut "New Metal Leader", the second album by former Manowar guitarist Ross the Boss Friedman, offers another thundering dose of Power Metal of more or less the same type his former bandmates used to make, minus the pompous epics that have clogged their latter-day (i.e. after he quit the band) work. This shouldn't come as a surprise, since the band he's using (vocalist/guitarist Patrick Fuchs, bassist Carsten Kettering, and drummer Matthias Mayer) were a Manowar cover band in their native Germany before being recruited to back him at a festival. So they've got the anthemic, screaming-guitars sound down to a T, and Ross' brutarian, Rock-informed leads (which gave Manowar's first six albums a bite that their later albums, which stole more from classical music, lacked) cut through everything like a pavement saw.
This is fist-pumping Metal, with catchy choruses, high-pitched screams, and thunderous drumming, and the lightning-speed riffing of the title track is proto-Thrash not unlike Accept's "Fast as a Shark" or early-'80s Judas Priest at their most hell-for-leather! Old-school Metal fans will find much to love here, and younger listeners could learn a lot about the genre's roots, and its true heart, from Ross the Boss and band!!

The second full-length album by russian Folk/Thrash/Black Metal band.
Melodic Black Metal with some Death Metal elements, from members of Russian bands Arkona, Mental Home and label cheaf of More Hate Productions! Rossomahaar started back in 1995 to prove to the whole world that Russia is capable of giving birth to Black Metal bands. In 1997 they released their first full-length album "Grotesque" on MC, by R.I.P. Productions.
The compositions in “Imperium Tenebrarum” all are well thought-through and structured. The guitars in this album are good and has catchy riffs. There are a few Heavy Metal riffs in there. The keyboards are cute and give a nice atmosphere. The drummer knows what he is hitting there on his drumset. The bass is great! The vocals is typical Black Metal vocals with no variations (except for one or two parts where Lazar does some clean vocals).
The cover-version of Metallica's "The Call Of Ktulu" presented here with band's own lyrics, and here and there a slightly more free interpretation. This song is called "Portals Of Chaos (The Final Transmigration)".
Grim and symphonic, heavy and melodic, this is an album that musically could just as well have come from Norway and which should satisfy every fan of Melodic Black Metal! If you're a Black Metal fan go buy their album, you'll like it!!
