BESTIAL MOCKERY “Slaying The Life” /CD/
- Product Code: DR 027
-
€ 6.90
- Price in bonus-scraps: 69
South American re-release of the fourth full-length album by Swedish Black/Thrash Metal band.
Listener, be warned: Bestial Mockery is exactly what you think they are. You know that old saying “Don’t judge a book by its cover”? Well yeah, feel free to through that rule out the window. There’s no pretension, curveballs, or fluff going on here. Just pure, unadulterated, apocalyptic Venom worship. Bestial Mockery spew a full throttle Black Metal assault sticking with the sound of early proto-Thrash/first wave Black Metal, albeit with a slightly more audible production style.
Don’t get the wrong idea, this isn’t a Dimmu Borgir album by any means; the bass drum roars its mighty roar, the guitars snarl and gnash their teeth, and the bass…well, the bass isn’t really there, but you get the idea.
It’s your standard “ultra-kvlt” Black Metal release. What sets Bestial Mockery apart from their gutter Metal brethren the likes of Satanic Warmaster, Nunslaughter, and Black Witchery is their affinity for early 80’s European Thrash, which rounds out their stereotypical ultra fast blitzkrieg with more spacing and dimension. There’s nothing revolutionary going on here, but for what it’s worth, it’s an enjoyable hour and a half excursion through hell.
Band stands for the ultimate downfall of humanity in all its forms, the mockery of everything sacred and holy. Apolitical and purely satanic, evil is everywhere! Thrashingly evil, bleaker than black and 666% Metal! Bestial Mockery wage musical war on you!!
Don’t take it too seriously, just sit back and enjoy the ride!!!
CD includes hidden track "Master".

Beto Vazquez INFINITY “Darkmind” /CD/
- Product Code: RIUCD-201020
-
€ 5.90
- Price in bonus-scraps: 59
European re-release of the third full-length album by Argentinean Melodic Symphonic Power Metal band.
The previous Infinity albums featured guests like Tarja Turunen (ex-Nightwish), Candice Night (Blackmore's Night) and Fabio Lione (Rhapsody Of Fire) among others on the first, Antti Railio (Celesty), Aldo Lonobile (Secret Sphere) Sonia Pineault (Forgotten Tales) and more on the second. Now Beto Vazquez is back, featuring a guest list that isn't less impressive than on the previous CDs: Olaf Thorson (Vision Divine), Sandra Schleret (Elis), Marcela Bovio (Stream Of Passion), Eddy Antonini and Kiara (Skylark), Manda Ophuis and H. J. (Nemesea), Pablo G. Soler and a few more should be enough to whet the interest of most Melodic Metal lovers.
The music style should be fairly obvious. This is of course female-fronted Symphonic Power Metal, reminiscent of a mix of a lot of bands already mentioned in this review. Most of the songs are very mellow and the album has a lot of ballads, still the CD as a whole is very multi-layered.
Production-wise this release is superb. At exactly the right times it feels slightly unpolished and on the parts where it should be, it's as clean as the glasses in every washing powder commercial.
In regards to the list of guest musicians mr. Vazquez could have done something better. It's also unfortunate that a couple of the guests sound very similar, the same thing is true for the three not-guest vocalists the band has. Also some more really powerful songs wouldn't have done the album any bad.
Still "Darkmind" is a very good album. It might not sink in on the very first listen, but after a few spins, especially in quiet and peaceful moments, fans of Melodic Metal should be able to greatly appreciate it!
Re-edition includes two bonus tracks.

-
€ 3.90
- Price in bonus-scraps: 39
Second full-length album by the Italian Progressive Power Metal band.
Unlike most power metal bands, Betoken is metal that you can relax to. The vocals aren't soaring or extremely flamboyant, but instead they are laid back yet perky and stressed in time, alternating between male and female vocals while the dual guitars work impeccably in time to create crushing rhythms and flowing harmonies. The bass is deep and full, complimenting moderately technical drumming within the swirling aura of sound.

BETZEFER “The Devil Went Down To The Holy Land” /CD/
- Product Code: HF352
-
€ 7.90
- Price in bonus-scraps: 79
The third full-length album by Israeli Groove Metal band.
Most successful Metal band from Israel has released their third studio album.
The band is compromised with Groove Metal at the heaviest way that can be, but as well they got tons of melodic energy and high doses of Hard N’ Roll. A really catching music, indeed, with very good vocals (a mix between Max Cavalera and Phil Anselmo in a more melodic way), very good guitar work, a heavy bass and drums’ rhythmic basis.
With the helping hand of the producer Tue Madsen (The Haunted, Sick Of It All, Mnemic), the sounding is heavy and clean, making the band’s music flow with energy and that “oiled” sensation that all we have when dealing with Groove Metal, but without setting the instruments into a chaotic mass of sound. You’ll hear them all clearly and strong.
The explosive and hooky “The Devil Went Down to the Holy Land” (with some Rock N’ Roll touches), “Killing The Fuss”, the way down and heavy “Yuppie Six Feet Underground”, the mid-tempo “The Medic” (good riffs, indeed), the heavy and oppressive “Cannibal” (drums and bass heavy as hell, with some grunts that really get near Death Metal sometimes), and the charming “Can You Hear Me Now?” will give you maximum drive and satisfaction!
Be happy, and be Heavy!!

The third full-length studio album by Danish Progressive Symphonic Metal band.
The album is one song, split into 43 parts. According to Finn Zierler, there are another three hidden tracks that complete the album's concept. To date, said tracks have not been identified. Furthermore, the order of the track list on the album is not the actual one. Since the album is divided into 43 parts, the listener is able to arrange the parts in any order they regard as logical.
"Beyond Twilight" is one of those CDs that will find you either completely loving it, or absolutely hating every minute of it - there can hardly be any feeling in between. As far as a concept work goes, this pushes the envelope in a major way. There are several examples of crazy concept CDs out there, but very generally speaking, those usually fall into the Prog Rock genre - never before this has this level of concept been applied by a Power Metal band.
Probably, this CD will mean something different to almost every listener, which is precisely what Finn Zierler intended in the first place. It is meant to be a puzzle, and the solution is not given - you're on your own. But every attempt is a gratifying experience. The concept is compounded by 43 sections and 3 hidden sections. The sections are pieces of a puzzle. Lyrics and music both play important roles. Each section has its own life/story, and every section is a brick of the whole puzzle. Depending on in which order you listen to the pieces of the puzzle, you'll get a new picture of "For The Love Of Art And The Making". So you can really understand this piece of work in numerous different ways. It's up to you how you gather the puzzle. For this money, this is a completely successful concept puzzle!
You will have to give it quite a few spins in the CD player to get the understanding of the depths of this unique album. Enjoy!!

The seventh full-length album by American Heavy Metal band.
Veterans of Chicago’s Rock n’ Roll, Bible Of The Devil had released their seventh full-length and third for Rome based label Cruz Del Sur Music.
Entitled “For The Love Of Thugs And Fools”, Bible Of The Devil’s eagerly anticipated follow-up to their 2008 release,"Freedom Metal”, is an assembly of raging Rock n’ Roll songs that encapsulate the band’s saga musically and personally over the years since the last full-length.
Returning to Phantom Manor studios in Chicago, the band sought to emphasize their trademark bludgeoning two-guitar attack and mammoth hooks with an increased attention to soaring, anthemic vocals.
These guys embody the spirit of early Hard Rock/Proto Metal, specifically Thin Lizzy with a pinch of early NWOBHM. They can shred dual-guitar harmonies and sing about Rock n’ Roll without a shred of irony, though they’re obviously having fun doing it. “For The Love Of Thugs And Fools” is viewed by the band as a document of the many characters they have encountered through the life of the band, whether it be in love, loss, friendship, or hatred. Guitar harmonies casually weave in and out of songs, and gigantic choruses are delivered like a karaoke night that got way out of hand.
This album could’ve been released in 1979 and no one would f*****g blink, except maybe a few tracks that could’ve come out in 1983. You will be singing these songs in your car while fist-pounding the steering wheel. You will find yourself air-guitaring them at inappropriate moments in your life, such as your aunt’s funeral. You will have the chorus to “I Know What Is Right (In The Night)” stuck in your head when you go to take a leak. These songs are packed with enough catchy hooks and riffs to overcome the weak production and questionable singing, so if you enjoy old-school Rock music of high quality, this band and this album might be the thing for you!

The first compilation album by American Glam Metal band.
Big Bang Babies was a Sleaze Glam Metal band from Hollywood, California, playing during the 1990s. Their sound incorporated Rock, bubblegum Pop and Glam, with a Punky attitude.
The band was originally made up of singer Kit Ashley, guitarist Keri Kelli, bassist Tweety Boyd, and drummer Freddie Ferrin. Freddie Ferrin was replaced by drummer Keith Morgan (aka Keith Alan).
All five members later went on to play in other bands, most notably Keri Kelli, who has played with Alice Cooper, Ratt, Skid Row, Warrant, Poison, and Slash's Snakepit, among others.
This compilation has been re-mixed by Mike Slamer (Steelhouse Lane, Streets, City Boy) and you can find 11 lovely Power Pop/Glam Rock anthems with influences from bands such as Cheap Trick, Poison, Enuff Z´Nuff, PBF, etc. + you´ll get a fun version of the old x-mas smasher: “Winter Wonderland”. Fans of Pretty Boy Floyd might also recognize the song "Everybody Needs A Hero" as they later re-recorded the smash hit, here you can find the original version and it´s a great Glam rocker with a catchy chorus.
This is what music are all about... great fun and a lotta catchy hooks!
A must have for fans of sugar sweet 80´s Glam Rock!!

The second full-length studio album by legendary Scottish Rock band.
Big Country came out of one of the less dominant parts of the United Kingdom with an anthemic sound and vaguely revolutionary-sounding lyrics to captivate the British listening public and at least interest Americans. Big Country continued their winning ways at home with this, its second album, which topped the charts and produced three Top 40 hits: "East of Eden", "Where the Rose is Sown", and "Just a Shadow". But in the U.S., the album was perceived as proving that the band's sound, guitars-as-bagpipes, courtesy of the E-Bow, was a one-time novelty, while Stuart Adamson's lyrics, full of British socialist working-class fervour, seemed jingoistic and pretentious. Nevertheless, much of the music, as on the first album, made for stirring Rock & Roll.
Clanging and crackling with energy, this album from Big Country rings natural evolutionary changes on the band's stirring twin-guitar sound even as it frames still better news: bandleader Stuart Adamson has rapidly matured into a songwriter capable of bringing meticulous craft to his obvious passion.
"Steeltown" is the band's only UK number 1 album, topping the chart for 1 week in October 1984. "East of Eden" was the only Top 20 Single from the album, reaching number 17 in the UK Singles Chart.

BILL CUTLER “Crossing The Line” /Digipack CD/
- Product Code: MTX-2316-2
-
€ 5.90
- Price in bonus-scraps: 59
The debut full-length studio album by American Country/Classic Rock musician, songwriter and producer, known for his work with Grateful Dead band.
Bill Cutler arrived in San Francisco in 1970, spent the following decades producing other people’s records, and on his first album we can hear all those influences and experiences. His guitar and high tenor anchor these self-penned, intelligent Rock ’n’ Roll songs, covering the range of styles you’d expect from a musician who came of age in the 60s and 70s.
"Crossing The Line" is a nice piece of work finished after 30 years in the making. Singing lead vocals and playing rhythm guitar on 14 original songs, Cutler is joined on his new album by many of the legendary Bay Area musicians he has worked with in the past. The first half was recorded back in the 1970s at Wally Heider's Studios in San Francisco, with Steve Barncard engineering, and a great bunch of players, including Jerry Garcia and Scotty Quik on lead guitars, Austin deLone on keys, Pat Campbell on bass, and Carl Tassi on drums. Those tracks were not completed at the time and remained unfinished, until Bill finally recorded the second half of this album in 2000, using some of the same musicians, along with lead guitarists Jorma Kaukonen, Jerry Miller, Mark Karan, David Nelson, and Barry Sless on various tracks. The original analog tapes have been restored and given a state-of-the-art sound by engineer/mixer Russell Bond. Six of tracks were recorded with Jerry Garcia (ex- Grateful Dead; R.I.P.). The other included stalwarts are Bob Weir, Jeff Watson, Matthew Kelly, and Michael Falzarano.
But before you go thinking this is a long lost Grateful Dead album, think again, because the credit here should go to Cutler. Although it may sound a bit like "In The Dark"’s long lost cousin, Cutler is front and center with his vocals, which are most impressive, along with the crisp production that screams old-school glory. There are many keepers here, including “Ridin’ High”, “Starlite Jamboree”, and “Rockingham Mill”, all of which dance to their own groovy beat.
After listening the whole album, you will hear the work of someone who really knows his hooks. Since it’s a producer’s album, every note is in its place and every instrument’s tone is pure. It’s great to hear Garcia’s unmistakable solos in this context, especially on the warm, extended, two-chord jam ending “Delta Nightingale” and, weirdly, on “Starlite Jamboree”, which is Bill’s eulogy for Jerry. This is the advantage to developing an album’s worth of tracks over about 20 years! As a songwriter, performer, producer and manager, Bill Cutler continues to work in all aspects of today’s music business. So, don’t let another 30 years pass you by before giving this one a spin!!
Enhanced CD features video “The Back Story of Crossing the Line”.

The debut full-length album by American Thrash Metal/Crossover band.
Texan Crossover Thrashers BIRTH A.D. bring their first full-length after a tactical nuke of an EP and are now ready to leave the entire world just a smoking crater with this highly anticipated debut.
Full of Punk attitude, Thrash precision, and a lot of yelling, “I Blame You” is the rightful heir to great bands like D.R.I. and S.O.D., and gives exactly as much of a damn about what you think as those bands did. With famed Thrash producer Alex Perialas (Anthrax, Metallica, Testament…) behind the boards, they sound as assured as you’d expect given their formidable credentials.
Eighteen tracks for 36+ minutes of total mosh!!

European edition of the debut full-length album by the Spanish Black Metal band.
Band emerged in November 2008 from the ashes of Fatal Portrait. After many conversations, three of the original founders of Fatal Portrait (Varhken, Phallux and Orgen) developed a new Black Metal project. While the new project was coming into shape, the guys got in touch with Pulsarth (from Noesis, a band where Phallux and Varhken also play) and asked him to be in charge of the bass.
In January 2009, the line up was completed with Abathor (from Gathering Darkness and Detriment Sorrow) as second guitarist. It was then when the composition works started; ten different songs were developed but only seven of them were finally recorded in Novermber at Khazad-Dûm studios, where the owner, Erun-Dagoth (Briargh, Hrizg, ex-CrystalMoors, Eldereon, Moonshine) produced the material, recorded, mixed and mastered all the songs that presented on the album.
