The tenth full-length studio album by cult Swedish Progressive Power/Heavy Metal band.
Tad Morose is now a full four albums into their ‘comeback’ after a ten-year break between their sixth and seventh albums, and the (mostly) stable line-up is very productive with four albums in ten years.
Albeit with a small nod to the sound of 80s and 90s without sounding less fresh and modern, the band has delivered another solid Metal album. Good solos, good vocals, good production values and enough little extras, such as the occasional acoustic guitar segment, all combine with great songs to make this stellar piece in the band’s long and impressive career.
Tad Morose has been chugging along for years now, releasing mostly solid albums – even if they never seemed to get back to the level of their trinity of albums in the late 90s and early ‘00s. This is probably the strongest of the new albums so far, mostly just coming down to the pared-down runtime. These are short songs that get to the point, and the band has written a bunch of their best tunes in years here.
They haven’t changed all that much since "Modus Vivendi" and these songs are all pretty bare bones, with a general tight, clinical riffing sense, dark, obscure atmosphere and choruses that come at you like spirits rising up from a fucking grave with a vengeance. The difference here is in the quality – while the opening title track sounds like every other song the band ever wrote, after that they do kick into a run of pretty stellar tunes. Check the nifty melodies of “Witches Dance”, the kinetic “Phantasm”, the epic “Dying” and the massive chorus of “Escape” – these are among their coolest tunes in years, and unlike the other recent albums there’s no real filler.
The band sounds as pro as you’d expect, with guitarist Christer Andersson, the lone remaining original member, just having a great feel for massive grooves and stomping riff work. It’s all just f***ing solid! If you’re a fan of Tad Morose or of no bullshit Dark Power Metal, "March Of The Obsequious" ought to be a safe bet for a buy!!

First re-release of the fourth full-length studio album by cult Swedish Progressive Power/Heavy Metal band.
Tad Morose play a Power/Classic Heavy Metal hybrid with slight Progressive tendencies. "Undead" is their first album on the Century Media label. After a long 3-year wait, during which they had to hassle with their old label, Black Mark, they have come out with a very focused and strong album.
Tad Morose have dropped the keyboard player who performed on their past albums and have added a second guitar player, which has made their sound catchier, heavier, and faster. Almost gone is any resemblance to the music from their earlier works. This album can be defined as Power Metal, but Tad Morose is able to sound fresher and better than most bands in this overcrowded genre.
Urban Breed's singing is phenomenal. He has a great range and can do powerful, soaring vocal lines and then sing in a rougher style. His singing reminds of a combination of Zak Stevens (ex- Savatage) and Johnny Lindkvist (Nocturnal Rites). The driving guitar lines by Christer Andersson and Daniel Olsson are crunchy and melodic, and they really do an excellent job. The majority of their solos are not particularly flashy or ultra-fast. Instead, they show a lot of melody and harmony, they are to the point, and as a result, the song as a whole is the focus - not just a speedy solo. The drumming by Peter Morén is tight and powerful, and finally, Anders Modd glues the entire music together with his great bass playing.
"Undead" is a beast of mythical proportions, vicious riffs, fast solos, and an overall atmosphere of dread, doubt and pain. The music soars, the guitar work has a good amount of distortion and sounds influenced by 1980s American Metal. The singer has an exceptionally beautiful voice. It is at turns uplifting, frightening and rough.
Tad Morose has definitely set itself apart from the other Power Metal bands out there, many of which have become very boring and repetitive. This is one of those bands whose sound is very, very hard to accurately describe. They're just good, and their groovy riffs and haunting vocal melodies will keep you coming back for more. Let's hope this well-kept secret from Sweden will gather a strong fan base. After this formidable effort, they deserve it!

First re-release of the fifth full-length album by the legendary German Thrash/Speed Metal band.
Pure Gritty Violent German Thrash! Recorded at a time when Thrash was beginning to disappear, the release of "Stone Cold Sober" offered the genre something to look forward to. Filled with fast deafening riffs and the classic Thrash Metal vocals, Tankard does so well, it's an improvement from "Zombie Attack" and "Chemical Invasion", not too discredit these two great albums. The controversial fifth release from Germany’s hardest drinkers in Tankard, “Stone Cold Sober,” is perhaps the bands’ most overall Thrash-intensive effort and really shows the band has plenty to offer when they put the drinks down and really get down to business!
This is a prime example of true German Thrash Metal! A musthave for any Thrash fan!! F**k The Law!!!

Second re-release of the second full-length studio album by legendary German Thrash/Speed Metal band.
This album is not only stands the test of time as one of the band’s most enduring classics but also becomes one of Germany’s finest records ever made and shows the band is more than just a cheap gimmick band but something much more impressive overall. This is a much more improved Tankard than what was shown on the debut, as they stretch themselves out a lot more and offers some lengthier, more technically-involved songs that are still in perfect keeping with the energy and feel of the debut. Gone is the Punk influence and replaced with more Thrash, and the Progressive feel of some of their riffing is far more accomplished than most would ever dare to write in conjunction with the band, yet the same party vibe and cheesy lyrics remain in the sound, effectively giving the band a true classic in their discography and overall one of the finer thrash records to come from the prolific German scene of the 80s!

The second re-release of the sixth full-length album by legendary German Thrash Metal band.
Tankard created a record that was really "Two-Faced". After "Stone Cold Sober" Tankard concentrated on their strengths. That meant that they had to move away a bit from the Thrash formula and focus on the other styles, which had always been a part of their sound anyway, or to put it simply. This band had to find the right balance again, and they finally did. This album includes a few of the best songs that Tankard has recorded in years! While "Two-Faced" initially seems to possess many of Tankard's trademark characteristics, it also differs from the previous releases to a small degree. Lyrics are generally more serious than before, and there is a bit more variety in tempos than you might expect from a typical Tankard album. It is still easy to recognize the sharp guitar sound almost instantly, and most tracks remain similar to the band's past works. Some lack of the usual happy spirit can make this release sound somewhat more average and not so uplifting though by no means bad. Also, while certain more varied tracks have their moments, too, this album clearly proves that constantly fast thrashers are the band's strongest area, formulaic or not. Some deviation from traditions put aside, “Two-Faced" is a fair pick for anyone who enjoys Tankard's style!

Second re-release of the debut full-length studio album by legendary German Thrash/Speed Metal band.
Tankard can be called one of those "late" Thrash Metal bands, since these guys joined forces in 1982, but only got to release their first album five years later.
No wonder these guys are known as "Alcoholic Thrashers" or "Beer Metallers". Most of the lyrics here are really fun. Common topics here are drinking beer, zombies, thrashing and having fun. All songs are just incredibly fast and insane.
This album is pure Thrash Metal: mixes of the great riffs, solid guitar solos and a crazy rhythm session; and the final result makes you break your neck!
A true must have for any fan of Thrash Metal!!

The first re-release of the seventeenth full-length studio album by legendary German Thrash Metal band.
In time for the band’s 35-year jubilee, the Frankfurt-based cult Thrashers released their new, highly praised album. And they are back, angrier than ever!
A catchy continuation of the band's previous album, “R.I.B”, with strong lyrics, “One Foot In The Grave” is heavy as a tank, powerful as a train, quick as a race car!! 
Without a doubt, “One Foot In The Grave” is one of the greatest Tankard albums from recent years. With this album, Tankard releasing their full potential, as a full-speeded, unstoppable Thrash Metal monster.
“One Foot In The Grave” is definitely a monumental album of Thrash Metal titans. Don't even try to miss this Thrash Metal gem!!!

The first re-release of the sixteenth full-length studio album by legendary German Thrash Metal band.
Two years after the release of "A Girl Called Cerveza", Frankfurt drunkards are back with a new record. Even after 30 years, the band still enjoys looking for new things to craft a sound that is fully their own. This record is far closer to classic German Thrash Metal than to Tankard's trademark style. The wide variety of rhythms and riffs is a distinguishing trait of "R.I.B.". Arrangements appear fuller and harder than usual, and Gerre's powerful voice does not allow any contradictions. Its tone is often aggressive, and the cheerfulness is more in the artwork and lyrics rather than the music. Maybe this is a consequence of those gigs with Kreator and Destruction some months ago? Whatever the reason, most fans will be pleased with this album!

The first re-release of the seventh full-length studio album by legendary German Thrash Metal band, and, for the first time on vinyl, the debut full-length studio album by Tankard’s Punk/Metal side project, Tankwart.
"The Tankard" (1995) was the final album released on Noise by Tankard. Where Tankard touched some serious grounds with "Two-Faced", the follow-up album, "The Tankard" strives towards notably more familiar and lightsome directions. In fact, this release may be one of Tankard’s lightest productions – by all means, heavy this is not. With a couple of exceptions, the music has a particularly happy sound despite some serious lyrics still occasionally appearing, and it seems as if the band had slowed down a bit for this record. As a whole, it’s pretty harmless stuff, not exactly a collection of classic material, although many tracks here are perhaps more memorable than on an average Tankard album. Some good, uplifting hollers like "Minds On The Moon" and "Fuck Christmas" sound particularly relaxed and play in an enjoyable manner. Perpetuating the more serious side shown on its predecessor "Two-Faced", its sound was a melting pot of their signature thrash with elements of speed, power, hardcore, and a dash of melody entwined with some of their catchiest choruses to date.  So, it is somewhat inconsistent here and there, but some variation at times is only a good thing for this band.
The same year, Tankard redressed the humorous balance with their Tankwart side project of German language covers done in a Punk/Metal style, much to their fans' amusement.
"Aufgetankt" (1994) is the debut album by Tankwart, the side project of Tankard. The project covered a number of German hits from the notorious ‘Neue Deutsche Welle’ era of Pop music from the early 80s. It includes "Liebesspieler" of Die Toten Hosen, "Elke" of Die Artze, "Sternenhimmel" of Hubertkah, "Hurra, Hurra Die Schule Bennt" of Extrabeit and "Skandal Im Sperrbezirk" of the Spider Murphy Gang.  Tankwart means gas station attendants.

The debut solo album of classical music by legendary Finnish Operatic soprano singer.
Recorded 21st and 22nd November 2011 at Lakeuden Risti Church, built on the design by architect Alvar Aalto in the middle of XX century in the Finnish town Seinäjoki, the album offers twelve different compositions of the classical "Ave Maria" theme, performed by Tarja with music of various composers, among them Paolo Tosti, David Popper, Astor Piazzolla, Johann Sebastian Bach / Charles Gounod and many others. The closing track of the album presents a composition by Tarja Turunen herself. On the album, you can hear the church organ, cello and harp.
Tarja Turunen started her career with classical music. The classically trained soprano studied Church Music at Sibelius Academy in Finland as well as German Lied at the Music University of Karlsruhe, Germany. From 1996 to 2005, Turunen was the vocalist in symphonic metal band Nightwish. Aftere, she started solo-cariere as a Tarja band.
"All the musicians performed the songs together with me without an audience. Nothing has been edited nor any studio tricks have been used. So what you hear on the record, is purely how the songs sounded in Lakeuden Risti church during the recording session", - Tarja Turunen.

The fourth full-length studio album by legendary Finnish Operatic/Symphonic Rock/Metal singer and she’s band.
"Colours In The Dark" is riskier than Tarja’s previous three solo albums. The album is a huge panorama of Operatic Metal, where some artistic experimentation is attempted, but repeatedly crushed under the album’s bombast. The dramatic scope of the strings and choirs, guitars and woodwinds, arrangement and high-gloss presentation is truly wondrous.
Tarja Turunen’s voice is a force of nature, dominant and dominating. The former lead singer for Nightwish fills her lungs and turns "Colours In The Dark" into the fury of the four winds. From the bombastic opener “Victim of Ritual” to the exquisite closer “Medusa”, in which she shares her hurricane-proof microphone with Blue October’s Justin Furstenfeld, "Colours In The Dark" is a colossal battle royal of operatic soprano, keyboard orchestra and Alex Schlopp’s ENGL amplifier madness. 
On "Colours In The Dark", the guitars are to die for, so to speak. The rhythm section is perfection and above all, Christian Kretschmar’s keyboards are magical. There are many instances where the orchestral emulation invokes the old question, is it The Hamburg Philharmonic or is it a bank of Access synthesizers?
The name of the album, as the cover image, came as a metaphor from the idea that life has a large range of colours and the dark absorbs all of them, containing every colour. Titles of the album's songs were revealed from times to times through Tarja's blog, like she did with "My Winter Storm" (2007). The album's name came out of the song "Until Silence". This is the third time the album's name came out of one of the songs. The artwork and some promotional pictures for this album were taken mainly in India during the What Lies Beneath World Tour in 2011. 
This is definitely one of the brightest albums in Rock in 2013 and proves to be a milestone for Heavy Symphonic Rock.

The sixth full-length studio album by legendary Finnish Gothic Orchestral/Symphonic soprano singer.
It’s also the second classical and Christmas album of Tarja.
While Tarja Turunen is well known for wedding the Operatic to Symphonic Metal, she forgoes the latter entirely on "From Spirits And Ghosts (Score For A Dark Christmas)". Right in time for the holiday season, Tarja delivers the soundtrack to a darker Christmas – an exploration of the other side of Christmas - the Christmas of the lonely people and the missing ones.
Recorded during the summer of 2017 in the Caribbean, mixed in Texas, and mastered in New York, the set includes 11 classic carols and other songs associated with the season as well as a new track recorded in the same manner. Turunen produced the collection with the American, Emmy Award-winning film score composer Jim Dooley (who also handled arrangements), and British producer Tim Palmer (Pearl Jam, David Bowie, U2, the Cure, etc).
Though Turunen's voice is characteristically crystalline, the Gothic orchestral treatments of the traditional holiday material, beginning with downright spooky album-opener "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel", are sometimes akin to the gloomy and monumental atmospheres created by Dead Can Dance. This feel saturates other tunes here such as the heartbreakingly lovely "Pie Jesu", the wildly dramatic "O Tannenbaum", and amazingly enough, the album's greatest surprise "Feliz Navidad". The melancholy in the relatively sparse charts on "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" creates an even greater sense of intimacy, while closer "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" is drenched in echo and electronics aside a celeste and chamber instruments, creating an eerie feel to send the album off. "Together," the lone new track, is a bittersweet seasonal song with Turunen fronting a full chorus, as triangles, swelling strings, and tympanies fill up the space behind and around her – it's as lovely as it is sad. The outlier is the hymn "Amazing Grace", stitched together with pulsing synths, low-end brass, and reverb before the entire orchestra floods the foreground.
Somehow, Turunen's aesthetic principles shoehorns the tune to fit seamlessly into the mix. Given the absence of Metal on "Spirits And Ghosts", it was interesting to see how it sits with her legions of fans. At all, the album has been warmly acclaimed by critics and fans alike, who have noted the dark twist Turunen achieved on the album and the combination of different languages.
With the album release, comes also Tarja Turunen's first graphic novel, "From Spirits And Ghosts (Novel For A Dark Christmas)". The 40-page novel is about the world of dark Christmas, scripted by Peter Rogers with accompanying art by Conor Boyle. The "novel for a dark Christmas" revolves around Tarja's two characters, the dark and light one, bringing together lonely souls during the festive season.

The seventh full-length studio album by legendary Finnish Operatic/Symphonic Rock/Metal soprano singer and she’s band.
As the saying goes, not all that glitters is gold. But then again, not all that is gold necessarily glitters. It was this idea that struck Tarja Turunen as she began work on her eighth solo album, “In The Raw”. “Gold, we think, is something polished and perfect, sophisticated, a luxury – but in its natural state it’s a raw element”, explains Tarja. Just like the music on her upcoming album: a combination of sophisticated and refined orchestration, choir and her classically trained voice with a raw, dark heavy musical core. Simply put, “In The Raw” is a gold-plated work of wonder.
Two years on from her last album, 2017’s “From Spirits And Ghosts”, “In The Raw” finds Tarja and her beautiful voice sounding, as ever, truly stunning. Working with many of the same musicians and production team as before, the intention was to bring out the idea of rawness to match the feelings Tarja was having from the very beginning of the process. The album finds Tarja going to raw, personal places in her lyrics. Opening herself up more than ever before, she says she was left feeling naked by her honesty, but also pleased at where she had gone with her words.
Tarja Turunen joined forces with other Heavy Metal vocalists such as Soilwork vocalist Björn "Speed" Strid, Tommy Karevik of Kamelot, and Lacuna Coil's Cristina Scabbia, thus including in the album vocal collaborations with them. Strid is featured in "Dead Promises", Scabbia's vocals can be heard in "Goodbye Stranger", and Karevik is featured in "Silent Masquerade".
"In The Raw" unites the energy of Rock and Metal with Tarja's Classically trained voice and love for refined Orchestral melodies, truly in the best way possible. The album reminds how good Symphonic Metal can be: vocal performances executed to perfection, versatile songwriting, thoughtful arrangements, deeply talented musicians, excellent production values.
"In The Raw" has been widely acclaimed by both Heavy Metal fans and music critics in general, and giving fans to add another golden gem by the Queen of Heavy Rock to their collection.

The second live album by legendary Finnish Operatic/Symphonic Rock/Metal singer, and she’s band.
As we all know, Nightwish and Tarja decided to break up. The Finish singer with the enormous voice decided to continue releasing solo albums - four up till now. Next to those long plays, she also had two live releases for now.
Knowing that her husband, Marcelo Cabuli, is from Argentina, it isn't a too big step to understand that this country became almost a second home for Tarja. And what is also more obvious than recording a show in Buenos Aires. The concert from this live release took place in 2011. It was March 27 when Tarja performed a show in the Luna Park in Buenos Aires
"Luna Park Ride" is a documentation of Tarja's live skills, and is definitely a collector's piece. Tarja performs her songs sovereignly live on stage. Whether they are solo songs like the powerful "I Walk Alone" and "I Feel Immortal" or even some Nightwish songs like "Stargazers" or "Wishmaster" - she always gets the crowd going with her flesh-crawling voice and this record might be also of interest for old Nightwish fans who still mourn her leaving of the popular Finnish Symphonic Metal band as she remained in a similar field musically, being more Rock and less Epic than the band that made her famous, though. 
If you've ever been to a Tarja live show and loved it, this is a great way to keep the memories alive. "Luna Park Ride" was mixed by Tim Palmer, who has found the perfect balance between keeping the recordings organic and polished. This album makes something special and exciting for fans of Tarja and female fronted bombastic Metal.
