VINYL

For the first time on vinyl, this album is the collection of early recordings by the Country/Pop/Rock superstar. The album was recorded a few years before her commercial breakthrough.
Eilleen "Shania" Twain is a Canadian singer and songwriter. She has sold over 100 million records, making her the best-selling female artist in country music history and among the best-selling music artists of all time.
Collection of demos a then-unknown Shania Twain recorded in the late 1980s and early 1990s for Canadian label Limelight Records. Written in collaboration with Los Angeles producer Paul Sabu, the songs here are not Country music, but rather well-crafted, energetically performed Pop/Rock fare.
Though the production is often dated (particularly on the cruise-ship-dance-party-sounding “For the Love of Him” and the Laura Branigan-esque “It’s Alright), the tracks definitely offer repeated glimpses of Twain’s superstar potential. There are even a few Country-tinged numbers (“Bite My Lip”, “Luv Eyes”) that presage Twain and Mutt Lange’s multi-platinum Nashville/Arena Rock hybrids.
From 1999 onwards, demo recordings Shania Twain made for Limelight Records approximately ten years prior were licensed to a number of budget labels internationally and released under various titles, artwork and track order, sometimes including one or two dance mixes.
Though recordings contained herein have been made available in several other forms, this package goes the extra mile by offering both the original recordings and significantly re-mixed/remastered versions on two different discs.
Limited Edition 180 g Red Vinyl in gatefold cover features lost photos, poster, restored liner notes and lyric sheet.
Renaissance Records, 2023 (RDEG-LP-0500). Made in Austria. Pressed in Czech.

The eleventh full-length studio album by cult Swedish Black Metal band.
Depressive and suicidal – these attributes are highly connected with the sinister Black Metal tunes by Shining. The band went through various incarnations, but mastermind Niklas Kvarforth always pulled the strings as a main composer and lyricist.
Formed in 1996 and known as one of the most controversial and musically brilliant bands in the Black Metal scene and beyond, Shining presents their eleventh offering that proves even darker and more brutal than ever before. These tunes are like a downward spiral into the abyss. According to the band themselves, "Shining" will be a downward journey in stereo that will drown the world in a mesmerizing, inescapable darkness.
The unit, centred around mastermind Niklas Kvarforth, roots their main musical influences in black metal, but does not fit into a single genre alone. Shining incomparably combines influences from various far-reaching genres such as classical music, Jazz and Progressive Rock, conjuring grim moods, aching wounds and deep emptiness. Themes such as self-destruction, suicide, and violence play an important role in the band’s music. Over the course of ten studio albums, including masterpieces such as the acclaimed "V. Halmstad and Redefining Darkness", Shining has garnered a large and loyal following who adore the musical genius and eccentric nature of Niklas Kvarforth.                                     
"Shining" is a hauntingly captivating and skilful album that features a unique Metal sound in true Shining manner, serving the very best of Black Metal creatively, combined with several other influences. The band has sparked a fiery interest with all their previous offerings, and it is certain that their ruthless upcoming album will exceed all expectations!

The sixth Single by legendary Irish Alternative Rock/Hip Hop singer.
"Nothing Compares 2 U" is a song written by legendary American musician Prince as a demo in 1984. In 1985, Prince's Funk band The Family released their sole studio album, "The Family", including "Nothing Compares 2 U". It was not released as a Single and received little recognition. Sinéad O'Connor recorded a version of  "Nothing Compares 2 U" for her second studio album, "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got", with a new arrangement by her and the producer Nellee Hooper. O'Connor's version is in the key of F major. The song was released as the album's second Single in early 1990. Its music video received heavy rotation on MTV. The video won three "Moonmen" at the 1990 MTV Video Music Awards: Video of the Year (O'Connor was the first female artist to be awarded it), Best Female Video and Best Post-Modern Video. It was nominated for Breakthrough Video, Viewer's Choice and International Viewer's Choice during the ceremony. The video was also the subject of many parodies and spoofs, such as Gina Riley's parody "Nothing Is There" on Fast Forward, referring to the fact that O'Connor tended to shave her head bald.
O'Connor's version was a worldwide hit, topping charts in O'Connor's native Ireland, Australia, Austria, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States (plus Top Five in France). In the United States it spent four weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100; in addition, it was number one on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart and reached number two on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart (held off the top position by Rod Stewart's "This Old Heart of Mine" for three weeks). On terms of its chart performance on the Hot 100, it ranked number three for 1990. In the United Kingdom, the Single ranked number two for the year, behind a re-release of the Righteous Brothers' "Unchained Melody". On April 1990, it was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. At the second of its four weeks at number one, the record's parent album "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got" started a six-week run at number one on the Billboard 200. It was certified Platinum in Austria and in the United Kingdom, and Gold in Germany and in Sweden. In December 1990, Billboard named "Nothing Compares 2 U" the "#1 World Single" of 1990 at its first Billboard Music Awards.
In 2019, the Single ranked 97 in a Hot 100 60th-anniversary Top 600, covering the period from 1958 to 2018. In July 2023, days after O'Connor's death, "Nothing Compares 2 U" reappeared on the UK Top 100 at number 45, and charted at number 1 on the UK Singles Downloads Chart.
In 2003, Q magazine ranked "Nothing Compares 2 U" at number 242 in their list of the "1001 Best Songs Ever".
It was included at number 165 by Rolling Stone in its list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".
In 2007, VH1 ranked O'Connor's rendition number 10 of the "100 Greatest Songs of the 90s".
In September 2010, Pitchfork included the song at number 37 on their Top 200 Tracks of the 90s.
The song was listed at number 77 on Billboard's "Greatest Songs of All Time".
Time Magazine included "Nothing Compares 2 U" in its 2011 (unranked) list of "All-TIME 100 Songs".
In 2012, Porcys listed the song at number 60 in their ranking of "100 Singles 1990-1999", noting that "it's probably one of the noblest, most dignified slow songs of the decade".
On May 4th 2016, the song was simulcast on radio stations throughout the United States to commemorate Prince 15 days after his death.
In 2019, Stacker placed the song at number 20 in their list of "Best 90s pop songs".
In 2020, The Guardian ranked the song at number 12 in its list of the "100 Greatest UK No 1s".
In 2020, Cleveland.com ranked "Nothing Compares 2 U" the best Billboard Hot 100 number-one song of the 1990s in 2020, calling it "one of the greatest love songs ever written".
The song was included at number 184 by Rolling Stone in its 2021 update list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".
In 2024, Annie Lennox, accompanied by Wendy & Lisa, sang this song at the 2024 Grammy Awards, during the "In Memoriam" segment as a tribute to O'Connor.

The fourteenth full-length studio album by legendary American Death Metal band.
"Nightmares Of The Decomposed" was the first Six Feet Under album on which Chris Barnes and former Cannibal Corpse guitarist Jack Owen worked together. This collaboration, which already existed when Barnes was still the singer in Cannibal Corpse, is now entering its second round with "Killing For Revenge".
2020's "Nightmares Of The Decomposed" wasn't certainly Six Feet Under's finest moment; guitarist Jack Owen rejoining Chris Barnes - for the first time since their Cannibal Corpse days - turned out to be a rather disappointing outcome for all those expecting a throwback to early 90s Death Metal, and the questionable vocal performance on the record was heavily ridiculed by the internet mob. A lot of the hate and disdain towards Barnes actually seemed to stem from some of his online bickering with haters and instigators, and while the man sometimes went over the top with some of his tweets, his reaction was quite understandable; he's one of the originals when it comes to death metal, he contributed to some absolute classics of the genre and pretty much defined the guttural growling and splatter lyrics template, and while this doesn't mean that he should always get a pass, at least he deserves some respect. He became a meme instead, and this shitstorm almost overshadowed his many accomplishments. For a moment, it seemed like Six Feet Under was done for good, but Owen came to the rescue of his old friend and restored his morale by writing a whole new record, even going as far as writing 90% of the lyrics and vocal patterns. The album took on a meaningful title, "Killing for Revenge"!
The 4 years between "Nightmares Of The Decomposed" and this new record brought some fresh air; Barnes reportedly quit both smoking weed and drinking, and in general - judging from some recent interviews and from the ongoing US tour with the Nile - he's humbled by the support he got from his hardcore fans, and he seems to be in a positive headspace. This attitude seems to have influenced the outcome on "Killing for Revenge", which definitely is a step up from the previous record. The line-up also stuck together, with Barnes and Owen at the helm, joined by Jeff Hughell, Marco Pitruzzella and Ray Suhy.
The album offers a good presentation from the get-go, with a great cover artwork painted by none other than Vince Locke, the legendary artist behind all Cannibal Corpse artworks. Chris Barnes was the one who actually hired him for "Eaten Back To Life" back in 1990, so it seems like things finally came full circle; Locke's style is unmistakable, and the painting is actually better than everything he's done for Cannibal Corpse since "The Bleeding".
"Killing For Revenge" is full of slow, Doomy yet crushing Death Metal in the typical Six Feet Under style.
Chris Barnes certainly sounds better on this release compared to the controversial "Nightmares Of The Decomposed", offering a performance that is more in line with how he sounded on "Torment" or "Crypt Of The Devil"; while probably still not good enough for his haters, and he seems to have regained some power, as well as part of his guttural range.
"Killing For Revenge" is an honest record that puts Six Feet Under back on track after a few difficult years, and it's a redeeming effort that deserves some attention. While it would have been naive to expect a masterpiece from two songwriters who are next to being 60 years old, it's still a worthwhile album. It's an old-school, Neanderthal-sounding Death/Thrash Metal record that goes for the throat for most of its running time, and unless you're a Gen-Z, stuck-up technical Death Metal elitist, you're gonna find yourself sporting an evil grin while listening to it.

The first re-release of the second full-length studio album by legendary American Death Metal band.
For Six Feet Under second and final album with founding guitarist Allen West, the band fulfilled its potential, merging Chris Barnes' Godzilla-like growl with West's lumbering, snail-paced riffs. Though Cannibal Corpse fans may still long for a more up-tempo set of guitar riffs, West's work really defines this album, making it an interesting variation of his other band, Obituary. Of course, the simplicity of the riffs and their slow pace may just as well inspire criticism as it does celebration, given the fact that most Death Metal bands pride themselves on velocity.
As expected, Barnes puts in a dominating performance here, making this arguably the band's best 1990s album, depending on whether you prefer West's guitar playing or that of his successor, ex-Massacre guitarist Steve Swanson, as featured on the band's other celebrated 1990s album, "Maximum Violence".
In 2005, "Warpath" was ranked number 334 in Rock Hard Magazine book The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time.
Release includes A2 Poster.

The sixth full-length studio album by Italian Heavy Metal band.
With all of their mighty and long history since their formation in 1982, Skanners didn't stand with the big boys. Although these guys have a sense to create memorable songs on all of their albums, including "Factory Of Steel", they use the same formula as everyone else did back in the 80s and even today. Catchy tunes is the name of the game and in the case of Skanners, they implement catchiness everywhere on the album. "Factory OF Steel", on its whole, is a wonderful release with memorable songs. Nevertheless, the reason it can’t get higher than the grade given, is because as each track fades, the general idea is the same. It is like Skanners didn't even try to step out of the shell a bit and create something that might eventually be different from what they had done throughout their long career.
Skanners advantage is their experience that led them to remain classic even nowadays where heaviness is a very important to create powerful music. Their way to create memorable tunes is top notch as they follow the strict line of the 80s. Nevertheless, they will have to put some extra flavor into their future songs.
Whoever appreciates 80s German Heavy Metal, like Accept, old Helloween, Primal Fear and Sinner, will get a kick out of Skanners' Metal way!

For the first time on vinyl, the third full-length studio album by Argentinean Power/Folk Metal band.
Officially founded in 2004 in Argentina, Skiltron is the leading Folk Metal band from South America, now based in Finland. The band have made of his sound a unique trademark, merging the power of Heavy Metal with the charm of the Celtic tunes.
"The Highland Way" will provide few surprises for an experienced listener of the band, but rather sees a smooth continuation of the red-hot form they hit with "Beheading The Liars" back in 2008. Their Scottish-themed anthems remain vibrant and recognizable among much competition in the current arena, and stand out from the bustling crowd with deceptive ease due to their less conventional melding of Folk music with galloping Speed/Power metal. Superficially it may appear to make little differences, but fans of the first two albums will notice the subtle differences and the continuation of the band’s gradual march towards finally locking their Folk and Metal sounds together seamlessly.
Diego Valdez has really settled into his role as vocalist on his second outing with the band - his powerful voice the battle cry that leads the rest of his teammates forward, and the soaring choruses are often the thing that kicks the songs up a notch from good to great.
Always the most prominent aspect of the Skiltron sound, the pipes, nevertheless enjoy an even more significant role in the songs, while still managing to avoid the curse of completely swamping them, something too many modern Folk Metal bands seem unable to avoid when it comes to making use of non-Metal instruments.
Switching up between crushing Speed Metal attacks and more expansive epics where acoustic guitars and mandolins add extra flavour, "The Highland Way" is an album that is expertly paced with a natural ebb and flow to the songs, shifting up and down the gears at all the right moments to ensure a cohesive listen. And it's highly recommended to all fans of Power and especially Folk Metal!

The fifth full-length studio album by legendary former lead guitarist of Guns N' Roses, and the fourth album of Slash to feature Myles Kennedy And The Conspirators.
It’s been a decade since Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy And The Conspirators released their debut album together, and since then have been on one of the more impressive and unrelenting tears in Rock ‘n’ Roll, issuing two more hard-hitting, highly-acclaimed records, and rocking stages all over the world. Since their debut, Slash has amassed album sales of over 100 million copies, garnered a Grammy Award and 7x Grammy nominations, and was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Though Slash reunited with Guns N' Roses in 2016, he has still continued with his solo work - this being the second studio album release in that time period. This is the first album to come from the newly formed relationship with Gibson Records and BMG.
Writing for the album started during the 2018-19 Living the Dream Tour. Looking to record the album differently than previously, the band travelled to Nashville to record at RCA Studio A with Dave Cobb. The band faced the complications of COVID-19, not only in a delay of getting together to record the album, but also with the recording itself. Myles Kennedy was the first of several band members to contract the virus. He points out that you can hear his congestion on the opening track, but states that these anomalies make the album interesting because "We just let those imperfections lay".
True to the band’s expanding legacy, it’s everything you’ve come to expect from Slash, Myles Kennedy, Todd Kerns (bass), Brent Fitz (drums) and Frank Sidoris (rhythm guitar)… but also unlike anything you’ve heard from them yet.

The fourth European re-release of the fifth full-length studio album by the legendary American Thrash Metal band.
It was the first album of Slayer released on the new Rick Rubin's label Def American (because of disagreements with the producer of Def Jam owner Russell Symons). "Seasons In The Abyss" is the last Slayer’ album with Dave Lombardo before his return in 2002. 
After staking out new territory with the underrated "South Of Heaven", Slayer brought back some of the pounding speed of "Reign In Blood" for their third major-label album, "Seasons In The Abyss". Essentially, "Seasons" fuses its two predecessors, periodically kicking up the mid-tempo grooves of "South Of Heaven" with manic bursts of aggression. "War Ensemble" and the title track each represented opposite sides of the coin, and they both earned Slayer their heaviest MTV airplay to date.
In fact, "Seasons In The Abyss" is probably their most accessible album, displaying the full range of their abilities all in one place, with sharp, clean production. Since the band is refining rather than progressing or experimenting, "Seasons" doesn't have quite the freshness of its predecessors, but aside from that drawback, it's strong almost all the way from top to bottom (with perhaps one or two exceptions).
Lyrically, the band rarely turns to demonic visions of the afterlife anymore, preferring instead to find tangible horror in real life - war, murder, human weakness. There's even full-fledged social criticism, which should convince any doubters that Slayer aren't trying to promote the subjects they sing about. Like Metallica's "Master Of Puppets" or Megadeth's "Peace Sells... But Who's Buying!", "Seasons In The Abyss" paints Reagan-era America as a cesspool of corruption and cruelty, and the music is as devilishly effective as ever.
CD debuted at the 44th position on the Billboard 200 and number 18 on the UK Albums Chart. In 1992 was certified a Gold in both the United States and Canada. The title track and "War Ensemble" earned Slayer its heaviest airplay on MTV to date. "Seasons In The Abyss" certainly among the top of three albums of the band!

Remastered re-release of the debut full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
Slayer’s debut is still regarded as a milestone for a new way of doing Metal. This new way was a start of the real Thrash Metal. This album is, along with “Kill ‘Em All”, “Killing Is My Business… And My Business Is Good” and “Bonded By Blood”, an important sign of the new growing scene. Slayer, grown up with Venom and true Heavy Metal, created a piece of history, a must for every Metal kid. And the story begins right here… Four guys, that wanted to play fast and brutal, join together and, after few demos, they recorded the first album, “Show No Mercy” - ten tracks of pure Speed/Thrash Metal.
Brian Slagel signed the band to Metal Blade, after watching their performing of the song "Phantom of the Opera" by Iron Maiden. The band was forced to self-finance their debut album, combining the savings of vocalist Tom Araya, who was employed as a respiratory therapist, and money borrowed from guitarist Kerry King's father. Touring extensively promoting the album, the band brought close friends and family members along the trip, who helped backstage with lighting and sound.
The album was recorded & mixed in November 1983 at Track Record Studios and released a month later. It took only eight hours to record (!!!), to cut down studio costs, which explains the poor production quality. Although criticized for poor production quality, "Show No Mercy" became Metal Blade Records' highest selling release!
Nothing commercial, nothing accessible - just pure Thrash f***ing Metal of the highest order, with a steroidal injection of NWOBHM.
