The sixteenth full-length studio album by legendary Brazilian Groove/Thrash Metal band.
Serving as a halfway house between a live album and a studio recording, this album is unique in this regard due to the circumstances of its creation. 
After releasing their "Quadra" album in February 2020, Sepultura had their momentum halted by the pandemic. Refusing to stay stagnant and put the band on hold, they started a weekly livestream to engage with fans and talk to some of their closest fellow musicians. Without any intentions to do so, the "SepulQuarta" livestream event started to take form as a collection of tracks with special guests that were recorded live every Wednesday. The resulting series of collaborations across the year, all recorded from their homes, has led to a new Sepultura album of old songs. "Sepulquarta" is a compilation in which the band revisit their back catalogue and songs from "Quadra", with a little help from their friends. 
As for the tracklist itself, it’s a mix of the band’s most iconic tracks, some slightly deeper cuts and one cover. The crucial part of this album’s appeal is its collection of guests featured on every single track that joined the band throughout the course of 2020. Whilst there isn’t anything necessarily game-changing here on these re-recorded versions, the guests do provide a reason to go back and celebrate the career of Sepultura to this point, especially after the well-received release of "Quadra". Some of the biggest thrills are provided by some A-list guest guitarists and vocalists, with the likes of Devin Townsend, Scott Ian (Anthrax), Matt Heafy (Trivium), David Ellefson (ex- Megadeth), Phil Rind (Sacred Reich) and Phil Campbell (Motörhead), breathing plenty of life into their spots. What works so well about the guests that are featured is that they feel at home on the tracks whilst adding some extra personality and distinctive flavour. 
For Sepultura fans, this record should be seen as a moment of indulgence. Instead of staying quiet throughout the pandemic until they could tour their February 2020 release, they’ve come away with this snapshot of the year they’ve been through with something very positive to show for it. It is at its core a collection of songs from the band’s back catalogue that fits somewhere in between a live and studio album. On the other hand, in its own unique way, this is a record that could have only come out in the previous year. With the album’s creation being entirely unintentional, it symbolizes coming together and has joy and fun right at its core. This makes "SepulQuarta" mean more than just an assortment of re-recorded songs, even if that is literally, what it is.
Double heavyweight 180g vinyl in gatefold cover.

The second full-length album by Italian Gothic/Doom Metal one man band.
Serenades start as a solo project, a one man band personify by Valerio Capsoni.
The debut album, "The Age Of Purity", was one of the most important Gothic/Doom albums ever produced in Italy. Album obtains a considerable success during the years in the Underground scene in Europe and in the rest of the world, especially among Anathema, My Dying Bride and Paradise Lost fans.
After three years, Valerio Capsoni carries out the second Serenades album, “Ionia”. Eight songs which constitute the evolution in a more direct form of dark feeling pulsating in Serenades music, in a cross between Katatonia and Depeche Mode. This album is very different from the debut, and sounds very cynic and depressive. An Electronical side project, Leaveinsilence, follows the exit of the album.
This album is not to be missed simply because the melancholy contained it is just amazing. There are few soulful bands and Serenades is one of them.

The first live album by American Progressive Rock/Classical singer, System Of A Down frontman, Serj Tankian.
Material for the performance is from Tankian's solo debut, "Elect The Dead", with some additional previously unreleased songs. It features the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra. The performance took place on March 16, 2009 at the majestic Auckland Town Hall in the center of the country’s (New Zealand) capital.
Tankian’s epic songs and operatic vocals take on a whole new sense of grandeur when accompanied with a full 70 piece orchestra. This unique meshing of two very different worlds of music was a vision Tankian has long wanted to make a reality. 
This solo work extends similar themes with Tankian now supplying the majority of materials. Alongside him appear Armenian-American coloratura Ani Maldjian, drummers John Dolmayan (from System Of A Down) and B. Brain Mantia (Primus, Guns N' Roses), Dan Monti on guitars, and a string section featuring Antonio Pontarelli.

Re-release of the fourth full-length album by the American Heavy/Power Metal band.
"Passage To The Other Side" is really more of the same from the band's debut: anthemic Power Metal with screaming guitars, ear-splitting percussion, and robust, operatic vocals. Musically, the band’s sound is dominated by solid hooks and generally fast paced riffs that cover a lot of metal styles. “Dance with the Dead” and “The Last Horizon” have a strong Power Metal feel to them. “Mental Messiah”, “Johnny” and “Fever in the City” are practically Speed Metal. The title track is an epic ballad number. The band also puts on a solid performance throughout with guitars that are often melodic but with a strong crunch, vocals executed in shrieking Halford/Dickinson worship, and plenty of opportunities for the rhythm section to shine.
The disc will ring true for fans of Manowar and Judas Priest - in addition to the small but devoted legion of worldwide fans who reverently follow young upstarts such as Primal Fear - especially given the band's lineup (this is ex- Armored Saint, Anthrax and present Fates Warning bassist Joey Vera and Helstar vocalist James Rivera; also guitarist Jack Frost featured, ex- of Rob Rock, Belladonna, Savatage, Speeed, Metalium... etc).
All in all, it may be the best album that Seven Witches put out and would probably be a good purchase for newer fans!
The album features a cover of Def Leppard's song "Wasted".
For fans of: Manowar, Judas Priest and Nevermore!!

The second full-length studio album by Kazakh Symphonic Black/Death Metal band.
Hailing from Kazakhstan, a country unknown for its Metal output, SevenSins, with their "Due Diaboli Et Apocalypse", bring about 50 minutes of utterly epic sonic devastation.
The band truly excel is in their use of orchestration. The symphonic elements to their music create atmosphere, but do not overpower the brutality. Taken as a whole, "Due Diaboli Et Apocalypse" is a fast, utterly savage lesson in Black Metal. The orchestration and operatic, female vocals stand as an excellent contrast to the blast beats, down-tuned riffing and venomous vocals found throughout the majority of "Due Diaboli Et Apocalypse".
If you are looking for a traditional Black Metal album that is cold, raw and has the production value of a 1920s film, then you need to give this a miss. If you are looking for a traditional Death Metal album, built on utter brutality, again, give this a miss. "Due Diaboli Et Apocalypse" is a little too Blackened to be Death Metal, and a little too full-bodied to be Black Metal. The production quality is surprisingly strong! Right across the record, the listener is treated to a sound somewhat akin to the bastard love-child of Fleshgod Apocalypse and Dimmu Borgir would sound like.
"Due Diaboli Et Apocalypse" is one of 2016’s most enjoyable and well-executed albums, heavy, gloriously melodic experience that won’t disappoint any Death or Black Metal fan and will leave you feeling like you’ve just taken an exhilarating ride through the dark and icy forests of Kazakhstan.

The sixth and the final full-length album by the German Melodic Speed/Power Metal band.
The album itself seems to be a concept album that follows a complex tale of prophecies, assassinations, corrupt clergy, and the titular life-prolonging mineral that links them all together. Described by the band as “an allegory for the life and acts of Jesus”, it’s a brave mix of fantasy, science fiction, and gritty reality, and it works; Seventh Avenue do manage to weave a really great story.
Of course, a great story is nothing without powerful music to back it up, and fortunately, Seventh Avenue have got that covered as well. The instruments and melodies are a product of the mind of vocalist/guitarist Herbie Langhans, and he does a masterful job with them; every song is absolutely nailed in terms of musical rhythm. Fast-paced Power Metal anthems dominate the album, but they never become boring due to the fantastically catchy (and quite different) choruses. Ballads come at just the right times, and are equally well done.
Obviously, such a high concept could not be carried out without hearty performances from the band members themselves, and yes, they can back up their ambition with the requisite virtuosity. Everyone comes in clear through the mix, and even though Langhans’ divine vocals are the highlight here, everyone gets their turn in the spotlight.
If you’re a fan of concept Heavy/Power Metal in the vein of Avantasia’s “The Metal Opera” or even the Genius trilogy, then you’ll absolutely love “Terium.” It’s fast, well-written, interesting and catchy as all hell. Terium will grab your balls from the very beginning and will not let them re-shape till the album's over. But for a duration of nearly 70 minutes, you'll surely have a good time! Definitely one of the best Power Metal releases of the year!!

Re-release of debut full-length album by Technical Death Metal band from Iceland, previously self-released by band in 2010.
Iceland's Severed Crotch has been at the forefront of the new wave of Icelandic Death Metal the past few years since their formation. Their brand of Death Metal blends various influences together to create a mix of progressive technical brutality interspersed with old school homage. Severed Crotch's debut exhibits scrupulous guitar work and spiraling bass lines complemented by unconfined drum patterns and a ferocious vocal assault.
“The Nature Of Entropy” is mandatory for fans of: Gorguts, Suffocation, Cephalic Carnage, and just for any Death Metal enthusiast!!

The third full-length album by the Russian Slavonic Pagan/Folk Metal band.
This creation of Russian pagans can hardly remain indifferent for lovers of Slavic Pagan Metal. Carefully thought out and melodies combined with excellent technique leave an impression of intellectual music "for the brain". The work of musicians good to hear, especially impressive drummer - a rare skill and knowledge of his work combined with insanely expressive style playing. Skillful guitar constantly attracts attention, and the keys works successfully to create an epic atmosphere. In general, the sound on the album is great, in the right places ponderous wall pinning the listener, and sometimes becoming sublimely transparent. Despite the fact that the album lasts a little more than 30 minutes, it seems that it is much longer, cause it's saturated musically and ideologically. Modest but attractive design pleases the eye, and sincere, with diligence written lyrics breathes of love for his native land.
Great album which is able to touch the soul, not only pagans, but also all those who cherish culture ancestors of the Slavs!!

The first re-release of debut full-length studio album by cult Italian Hard Rock/Heavy/Glam Metal band.
Formed in 1985, Shabby Trick from Florence released only three albums to date, with decades intervals between each (1989 - 2000 - 2010).
Originally released on vinyl and cassette in 1989, and on CD in 1990 (in Japan only), "Bad Ass" is a hidden Italian Metal gem. Fans of Mustaine’s voice will absolutely love Pieroni’s vocals. He sounds like Mustaine on all the songs. But don’t expect any Thrash Metal tricks from Shabby Trick – “Fallin’ Star” is the only song that it is remotely Thrash Metal. 
This is a good record for diehard fans of Italian Metal from the 1980s, even that the band sounds more like in American way. Those who are into American Metal from the 1980s will appreciate this record!

Third full-length album by Canadian Technical Death Metal/Metalcore band.
This band should much bigger than it is right now… this is hyper technical, super extreme Dark Melodic Modern Death Metal at its best, with some truly gloomy moments!
Imagine The Faceless in a head on collision with The Black Dahlia Murder and… Katatonia??? Wicked!!
CD includes 12 pages AMAZING (!!!) booklet.
This band is f*****g impressive!!!

The first Single by Israeli Progressive Alternative/Post-Grunge/Fusion/Hard Rock band.
The main song, ballad “47 Minutes of Love”, had been in planes to be included in third full-length album, but it was too much different by concept and style from all rest of the songs, and band decided to release it as a Single only.
Song begins like an ethnic ballad with sounds of sitar. However, each verse going with modulation and stay heavier and heavier. Last refrain vocal line reminds best times of Robert Plant.
As a “B-side”, decided to include an early, unreleased version of "Mirror" ballad.
This version of 2013 is really rare. In that period, Michael Rosenfeld only started to reform the band, which still had no stable line-up. Moreover, here we can hear a drummer from previous line-up of Shadow Rebels. Guitars were recorded by current guitarist Rony Safaraliev. To dramatize the effect of philosophic lyrics of "Mirror", girls' choir by T. Cherniak was added together with violins of M. Rosenfeld and keyboards of Arkady Scherba.
Vocal lines of both tracks pretty much expressive, especially close to coda of the songs. Guitar solos are long and very technically developed. Riffs are heavy, and sound of rhythm section is typical for Post-Grunge.
Anyway, we can describe this release as a “Ballads Single” of Shadow Rebels.
Cover work by Eli Oskin, based on Lewis Carroll’s photography of Alice Liddell (prototype of Alice in Wonderland), sends us to "Mirror" song that was inspired by his book.
