The first re-relaase of the second full-length studio solo album by legendary German Hard Rock/Heavy Metal singer Doro Pesch.
Doro’s second album is more a solo effort than a band production. In fact, the German singer chose for herself a new musical direction, consciously separating the music creative process from normal band dynamics, the contrary of what she had always done in the past with Warlock.
The album production was put in the hands of Kiss bassist Gene Simmons, Doro's childhood idol. Simmons provided five songs, including the covers of The Electric Prunes' 60s Psychedelic hit "I Had Too Much to Dream" and of Black 'n Blue's "Rock On", and musicians coming from the Kiss' entourage to complete the recording. The song "Only You" is a Kiss cover from the album "Music From The Elder" (1981). He gave his protégé, Tommy Thayer from the band Black 'n Blue (another band Simmons produced), a chance to shine as co-producer of the album, along with Pat Regan. "I'll Be Holding On" is a cover of a Gregg Allman song from the 1989 film "Black Rain".
The resulting sound is much smoother and polished than any Warlock album, in the vein of many American Glam Metal recordings of the time, and the lyrics give up completely the Gothic atmosphere present in the offerings of Doro Pesch’s previous band.
Despite the commercial appeal of the music and the high economic effort in producing it, the album did not have the critical and sales success that was expected and remained the last studio album by Doro published in the United States for ten years. If released a few years earlier this album would have really catapulted Doro to new heights. But timing, along with a less than aggressive sound didn’t do the album any favors. Regardless, the album is amazing and shows the Queen of Metal at her very best!

The eighth full-length studio solo album by legendary German Hard Rock/Heavy Metal singer and her band.
Is the first Doro album since “Force Majeure” to be produced with a strong contribution from the members of the band that accompanied the German singer on her tours. The songs of the album are the usual mix of aggressive Metal, Hard Rock and soft ballads, with a distinctive rawer sound than in previous albums. At this time Doro tried some versions of the songs in languages different form English or German. “Fight” is simply sounds more like a Hard Rock album. The list of musicians sees the contribution of various guests: Type O Negative vocalist Peter Steele, Savatage guitarist Chris Caffery, former Plasmatics bassist Jean Beauvoir, veteran composer Russ Ballard and others!

The debut full-length studio solo album by legendary German Hard Rock/Heavy Metal singer and her band.
In the 1980s, Warlock was among Germany's most exciting Heavy Metal bands, which is saying a lot when you consider that Germany also produced Accept and the Scorpions. After the success of Warlock’s album "Triumph And Agony", which gained Gold status in Germany and reached the top 100 chart in the USA, former Warlock vocalist Doro Pesch remained the only original member of the band. Some legal issues about the use of the name Warlock were raised by the former band manager, and Doro settled the dispute, renouncing to issue any new album with the band’s name, but using her name instead for any new releases. However, the first print of the LP was issued with a sticker on the cover near Doro’s name with "+ Warlock" written on and for some fans "Force Majeure" should still be considered as the last album by Warlock.
Just like "Triumph And Agony", the album was recorded in the USA and produced by Joey Balin. Bass player Tommy Henriksen, who was part of the last line-up of Warlock, plays in this album too. The line-up is completed by drummer Bobby Rondinelli (Rainbow, Scorpions, Quiet Riot, Black Sabbath, Blue Öyster Cult) and guitarist Jon Levin, whose name was incorrectly reported as Jon Devin on the album sleeve.
Trying to follow the positive American feedback of the previous Warlock album, the songs of "Force Majeure" are even more oriented to radio-friendly Glam Metal than to the European Power Metal of Doro’s earlier works and include for the first time a cover, Procol Harum’s famous "A Whiter Shade of Pale". It's also an album that Doro can be proud of; even though "Force Majeure" isn't quite in a class with Warlock's best releases, it is definitely a strong Pop-Metal/Hard Rock outing. Doro, who co-wrote most of the material with Joey Balin, is focused and assured throughout the album - she is as passionate on driving rockers like "Angels With Dirty Faces", "Under the Gun", and "Hellraiser" as she is on the haunting ballad "River of Tears". Equally strong is Doro's inspired cover "A Whiter Shade of Pale".
The album sold quite well in Europe but had a limited success in the USA, reaching only the top 200 chart.
While Doro is generally decent, "Force Majeure" is more than decent - it is excellent! In fact, "Force Majeure" is arguably her strongest and most essential solo album!!

The Maxi-Single from legendary German Hard Rock/Heavy Metal singer Doro Pesch.
The Single impressively cements exactly why Doro owns worldwide status of the Queen of Metal.
With "Love's Gone To Hell", Doro has created another outstanding power ballad, which doesn't only gleam with a great piano intro, heavy guitars and a fantastic melody, but also with tons of emotion and a chorus, which captures your ears and your heart from the word go.
As to be expected for such a special song, Doro has recorded a visually stunning music video for "Love's Gone To Hell". Filmed in superior locations such as the renaissance castle Bückeburg, Doro showcases herself in the video production in some incredibly impressive scenes in a way you've never seen her before.
A six-track Maxi-Single contains three versions of the title cut, the B-side "It Still Hurts" (a duet with Motörhead frontman Ian ‘Lemmy’ Kilmister), and two live tracks ("Rock Till Death" which features Blind Guardian frontman Hansi Kürsch, and "Save My Soul").

The ninth full-length studio solo album by legendary German Heavy Metal singer Doro Pesch.
Since the release of 2002's "Fight", headbangers waited four long years for a follow-up from one of Metal's top female vocalists. But the wait was over by 2006. The recording of the album took a prolonged time, due to Doro Pesch filming the movie "Anuk - Der Weg des Kriegers", starring as 'Meha'. The film was shot in Switzerland in 2005.
"Warrior Soul" is a good classic Hard Rock/Heavy Metal album, that embodies the essence of what Warlock was about until it came to an end; good old fashioned Judas Priest inspired Heavy Metal without all the groove gimmicks. The songs are simple in their presentation, putting forth basic riffs meant to stick in the head, rather than impress with overbearing intrigue. Lead work is tasteful and often short, as has always been the case since the first Warlock album. The production is modernistic, complete with low reverb drums, but relies on keyboards for atmosphere to balance out the drier approach to the traditional instrumentation. The majority of the compositions are mid-tempo songs or ballads. For fans of melodic yet tough '80s-era Metal, "Warrior Soul" is loaded with Metallic goodies!
The album reached position No. 27 on the German Longplay chart.

Since the release of 2002's "Fight", headbangers waited four long years for a follow-up from one of Metal's top female vocalists. But the wait was over by 2006. The recording of the album took a prolonged time, due to Doro Pesch filming the movie "Anuk - Der Weg des Kriegers", starring as 'Meha'. The film was shot in Switzerland in 2005.
"Warrior Soul" is a good classic Hard Rock/Heavy Metal album, that embodies the essence of what Warlock was about until it came to an end; good old fashioned Judas Priest inspired Heavy Metal without all the groove gimmicks. The songs are simple in their presentation, putting forth basic riffs meant to stick in the head, rather than impress with overbearing intrigue. Lead work is tasteful and often short, as has always been the case since the first Warlock album. The production is modernistic, complete with low reverb drums, but relies on keyboards for atmosphere to balance out the drier approach to the traditional instrumentation.

The debut full-length album by Finnish Symphonic Power Metal band.
One of the most exciting and anticipated debut albums of the year. Symphonic Power Metal at its best! Powerful and melodically challenging!!
Thankfully, “Sleep Paralyses” is not sleep inducing. That’s one thing it has going for it, another is the fact that it is loaded with good songs, great musicianship and the operatic vocals of front lady Johanna Lesonen. Clearly, “Sleep Paralyses” has an orchestral Power Metal vibe that drives the 8-track 50-minute debut.
“Sleep Paralyses” begins with the Helloween-ish style guitar harmonies of opener “Legend of Blackbird”. This is a fast-paced opening number and one that sets a very high standard for what is to follow. The second track is one that really stood out and became an instant favorite. On “Reborn” Johanna performs a duet with a male opera singer, which is a nice, added touch and something you don’t see or hear very often in the realm Power Metal, which, combined with an out-of-this-world Yngwie style guitar solo makes this a highlight. “Silent Sunshine” features more solid vocalizing from Johanna and a great, big chorus. Dotma brings the tempo down on the ballad “Indian Fall”. Other highlights include “Whispering” and “The Cave”. Dotma wraps things up with two epics, the first is the 11-minute grandiose “Kingdom of the Sky” and the 9-minute “Memory Worth Dying For”.
Outstanding vocal performance by talented singer Johanna Lesonen, guest appearances by Vladimir Lumi (ex- Thaurorod), Ines Lukkanen (Embassy Of Silence), Lasse Nyman (Thaurorod) and Tero Kalliomäki (Embassy Of Silence, Saattue).
Mixed at Cutting Room Studios, Sweden (Scorpions, Europe) by Björn Engelmann.
In this day-and-age it is easy to think: "oh Great, here comes another Power Metal band with an operatic female singer", but on “Sleep Paralyses”, Dotma quickly puts any reservations one might have to rest!
Excellent album for fans of female fronted bands with really great vocal!!

- Price in bonus-scraps: 59
The third full-length album by the cult Czech Neoclassical/Progressive Death Metal band.
The third masterpiece of this band was definitely worth 5 years waiting for!
Mira, Petr & Ivoš made a huge album again and two guest musicians were also in charge to help them, namely Martin Krc on drums from and Jitka Šuranská on violins. The magical combination of the orchestral arrangements and atmospheric effects take control and reign supreme during their 8 songs and 45 minutes playing time. The proportions between Classical and Metal music seem to materialize the most proper way in their repertory. Sometimes band reminds Dream Theater due to the nice variations between the guitars & keyboards. Featuring some bizarre time signatures on the riffs, cosmic melodies and wandering undertones and changeable vocals that swing from jester like japes to rough guttural growls, plus a flurry of violin here and there, nobody can accuse Draco Hypnalis of being bland or ordinary! This is a band who puts a lot of thought into their music and even finds the time to include some blast beating Black Metal influence into the folds of their diverse musical tapestry. The album also have a Neoclassical edge, combining superb beauty and grace with harder riffs and venomous growls. Indeed the whole album carries on in this myriad of sounds, experiences and twists! Sometimes heavy and forth right, more often than not winding, undulating and melodic. With the strange combination of melancholic, renaissance influenced keyboards mixed with Progressive Death Metal and futuristic, atmospheric synths, "Balance Of Moments" is a deep incursion into a twisted, melancholic, insane atmosphere that's impossible to leave no scars on your mind after the audition.
Different expressions transmitted by the keyboards and synths, classy guitar riffs, leads and solos, the intricate, powerful bass lines, twisted vocal parts and melodic violins... If you're not into Progressive Metal you can skip this one, but otherwise it's highly recommended fantastic piece of Metal schizophrenia! Get this professional Classic music influenced Death/Black album right away!! Thunderous effect guaranteed!!!

This Symphonic Techno Death Metal trio deliver us nine opuses of high quality professional music. Their songs combine so many riffs, harmony changes, insane breaks and emotional arrangements as well as classical influences that during the almost 36 minutes long masterpiece you'll think that you have a deal with an orchestra instead of a 3-piece band. Their playful use of keyboards are honestly one of the best things about the album. Every single note sounds so fascinating and outstanding! They aren't simply people who just rightly know how to handle their instruments; they are real composers, because the riffs and melody-chains they compose are about to cry and express deep feelings over and over again! The vocal parts are as suggestive as the instrumental side of the band; they tend from blackish screams, deep growls up to crystal clear vocals. The boundless variety makes their music so unique and gives the key for their future researches. Recommended for fans of: Pestilence, early Dark Tranquillity, Cynic, Atheist and last but not least a bunch of classical compositors! All is left to say, buy or die!!

The third full-length studio album by Italian Progressive Power Metal band.
After 9 years of silence Dragonhammer returns with an explosive mix of Power, Epic and Progressive Metal. Dragonhammer belt out a seemingly typical brand of Power Metal that is nevertheless littered with Progressive flourishes, and contains Symphonic atmospherics and interludes.
The first song, "The End Of The World", begins as such; an epic and melodic Power Metal track not too dissimilar to Stratovarius, and showcases Max's impressive vocal range; in the chorus, we can hear striking vocal similarities to that of Elvenking, and also some equally impressive lead guitar and keyboard work. "The X Experiment" takes on a most-welcomed Progressive vibe. A powerful and aggressive, yet slow-tempo opening riff makes way for a thoroughly heavy track overlaid with strong Children Of Bodom-like keyboard melodies; riff wise speaking, much of the song is a pounding gallop. Halfway through you will immediately struck by a highly Dream Theater-esque series of flourishes. The album drives forward in a much heavier direction in "Escape" that begins deceptively Thrashy, but one is soon enough greeted by rather Avantgarde-sounding keyboard that gradually pads out the song to a mellow, mid-tempo Soft Rock passage. Soon enough, Max's wails give way to something far more Metallic, and the lays down a much more bombastic series of riffs following a return to the previous motif.
Quite possibly one of the most 'Progressive-sounding' track on the album is "The Others", which strives to keep a relatively upbeat and unmistakably heavy atmosphere and deals with, admittedly, cliché topics, but the lyrics are nonetheless honest and hit home. Here we also can find some of the more beautiful melodies contained within the record, especially in the keyboard sections. Lastly, the last track on the record is also great; "Last Solution" begins with an infectiously groovy and catchy riff that is soon backed by a strange keyboard recording. Among the guitars and vocals, the chord progressions are what will get you: melodious, uplifting and effective. Naturally, the chorus vocals are equally as soaring as the guitar and keyboard melodies, and the song features an excellent solo.
Not necessarily one of the most unique Power Metal bands, but would not go as far as to use the term generic, and definitely not a bad album, which contains the features that every Power Metal listener looks for! This is majestic and melodic Power Metal opera!!

DRAGONLAND “Under The Grey Banner” /CD/
- Product Code: AFM 359-2
-
€ 14.90
- Price in bonus-scraps: 149
The fifth full-length album by Swedish Symphonic Power Metal band.
The third and the final part of the trilogy "Dragonland Chronicles".
Dragonland are arguably the most progressive and modern of all the "true" Power Metal bands out there - they have always been a household name for high-class Power Metal with Symphonic elements. The band, led by guitarist Olof Mörck of Nightrage and Amaranthe fame, never fails to deliver and "Under the grey Banner" easily lives up to all expectations.
Spiced up with well-narrated spoken bits and finely crafted instrumental arrangements, Dragonland present intricately composed melodic Metal that packs both sufficient punch in its production as well as great hooks and melodies in its compositions. And no matter if it’s the highly melodic chorus of "Shadow of the Mithril Mountains" or the catchy hook of "A thousand Tower white", the pounding, galloping beat of "The Black Mare" or the beautiful, Enya-esque finale of "Ivory Shores" with its haunting female vocals supplied by Anna Mariann Lundberg - the 2011 outing by Dragonland should be top of the shelf in every Fantasy Metal fan's collection. Lord of the Rings aficionados and Game of Thrones fetishists alike will find a lot to love about this album!
As three of the most outstanding tracks you'd have to mention "Fire and Brimstone", "Throne of Bones" and the overly long title track which all feature amazing guest performances by musical singer Fred Johanson who adds a bit of intrigue and grandeur to the overall sound of the band, and makes it all the more interesting. The crisp production is just the icing on an already truly well-tasting cake.
All in all, 2011 hardly saw a better release in terms of Symphonic Power Metal, and Dragonland are right now the band of the hour when it comes to this genre! It just doesn't get much better than this if you want to hear Classical Power Metal that still sounds fresh and new, and that doesn't recycle the same old ideas time and again. Check this one out!!
