VINYL

First official re-release of the third full-length studio album by legendary German Disco band.
Originally released in 1980 by Metronome in Germany and Victor Records in Japan (as "Arabesque III"), an album was a little unusual one in the sense of the music itself. All in all, Disco was four of five years old and had become a little unfashionable to the general public. So, now we can call "Marigot Bay" as "an album where Euro Disco was born" - the dance rhythms and the singer's natural charms were reinforced with things unusual for the pure American Disco style, specifically the Rock'n'Roll guitar and vocal stylings.
Deluxe Edition on 180g audiophile vinyl in metallic cover has a new mastering from analogue resources and features 8-page booklet with lyrics and rare photos.

The fourth full-length studio album by Serbian Progressive/Symphonic Metal band.
Armageddon was formed back in 1987 as a one-man project of Đorđe Letić (ex- Tornado), which established itself as the first Symphonic Metal band not just in Serbia, but in East Europe. And if they were not from this region, their worldwide success would be guaranteed... Armageddon mastermind, who has always had ability to conjure Metal and other music genres, did it once again.   
On "Master Of Peace", Armageddon delivers the perfect combination of formally trained musicians as well as high quality Metal vocalists (with main vocals of Miloš Krsmanović on Side A and Zoran Šandorov on Side B). Considering the number of musicians involved in this project, it was not surprising that it took three years to assemble all the elements – it required good organization and superhuman powers to gather many musicians. 
"Master of Piece" is a more social engaged album than any of previous Armageddon albums. The band steps away from the classical Metal themes: demons and wizards, myths and legends, witches and fairies…
...no doubt, this is a masterpiece!

The second re-release of the second full-length studio album by British Experimental Progressive Rock band.
The last recording of the Arthur Brown and Andy Dalby fronted line-up, "Kingdom Come" is definitive Psychedelic Prog-Rock reaching up to Frank Zappa territories at times.
The band was recognized for Brown's theatrical and operatic singing, and a sound that drew from Psychedelic and Progressive Rock. This combination made the band a hit on Britain's festival circuit, but lack of record sales, indifference from music critics, and poor record label promotion (especially in the US) led to its eventual demise in 1974.
The band was later marketed as Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come in North America due to name conflicts with an unrelated band with the same name.

The seventh full-length studio album by legendary Danish Heavy/Thrash Metal band.
Following their comeback in 2007, Artillery able to produce more than decent offerings of considerable quality. Gradually, the band began to stray their stimulating depicted Thrash input into broadly merging classic Heavy Metal insertions that before. With the introduction of “Legions”, following the inauguration of a new vocalist (Michael Bastholm Dahl) and drummer (Josua Madsen), Artillery made another step towards their early 90s phenomenon.
On “Legions” the classy duo of experienced Thrashers, the Stutzer brothers, still behind the songwriting, substantiated that even with age Artillery’s music is stronger and fiercer than ever, igniting the fires of the late 80s while countersigning the modernized sound of the present at their side that might have just partially delivered their old might, but satisfied. Dahl impresses as the new vocalist with his Power Metal pipes. The album’s riffery is as always creative and exceptional, sometimes a reprise of the early days of the band, the older signatures, past aggression initialized at will. However, the Stutzer duo also knew how to compose songs of utter passion and with a measure of severity and chastity.
Fans of the long time Danish Thrashers will definitely find more to love than criticize on "Legions"!
Highly recommended for fans of bands like Anthrax or Testament!!

The ninth full-length studio album by legendary Danish Thrash/Heavy Metal band.
Danish Metal pioneers Artillery is a bit of an on-off-band. The guys started in the early 80s and release three records that were very well-received by Metalheads. After a hiatus, the band returned in 1999 with "B.A.C.K." album, which was a short intermezzo leading to another split. After a second pause, the band came back in 2007 and since the release of "When Death Comes" productivity increased dramatically. In the last nine years, Artillery released more longplays than they did between 1982 and 2009 and since the quintet follows a two years release pattern.
Since the last album, "Penalty By Perception", which won the band four Danish Metal Awards in 2016 (the best album, best band, the best production and honorary prize), Artillery has toured around the world, including Europe, South America and parts of Asia...
With the "The Face of Fear", quintet stays true to themselves, meaning, they didn’t change a lot. Often no change leads to boredom, which is absolutely not the case with Artillery. The five guys play Thrash Metal with an oldschool appeal, but this time with a big doze of Heavy and even Speed Metal. Smashers like the raging title track and the uptempo "Sworn Utopia" are wrecking balls! Artillery’s new album is a glorious continuation of what started with their official revival in 2007. "The Face Of Fear" is a rock solid Metal release with vigor and dedication!!
...For the rest of 2018, Artillery was on Copenhell’s Metal Cruise and a Denmark tour, plus a release party on High Voltage. In 2019, on tours in Europe, South America and USA... Thumbs up!!!

The tenth full-length studio album by legendary Danish Heavy/Thrash Metal band.
Artillery are true veterans when it comes to Thrash Metal. Consider a debut album that was unveiled in 1985, the Danish powerhouse was part of the growing momentum Thrash Metal had at the time. Although Taastrup and the San Francisco Bay Area can’t be really compared, the music that arose at both locations was very connected.
Artillery, that was a bit of an on/off journey during the span of time and can be spilt in three ears of which the first one brought the name on the Metal radar, and it’s the current times that builds on it strongly. Artillery returned with full speed in 2009, when the quintet unleashed "When Death Comes". Although the new album is a next blast, the way to "X" was a rough one. It was in 2019 when Morton Stützer passed away at the age of 57. Such a sad moment affects a band, and Artillery is no exception. It was a new chapter that had to be opened for the band and their new guitarist Kræn Meier was an important factor in this.
Although being rooted in Thrash Metal, Artillery always took a wider approach on music than solely sticking to one genre-given framework. Most of the offering comes with good hook lines, being the bridge to Power Metal. Lyrically, Artillery is a band that addresses various topics and has some reality connected songs on the new album.
"X" is an album that shows the full strength of the Danish Metal pioneers, guys that never get tired of a good riff and a well-forged melody. Mixed with the right level of aggressiveness, the new album transports the heydays of Thrash Metal into the here and now, while still being anchored in the present with a sound that is powerful and dynamic. "X" brings the forerunners of European Thrash Metal again on the agenda of Metalheads, and it's a headbangers delight!

The first re-release of the debut full-length studio album by cult Belgian Thrash Metal band.
Asphyxia was formed in Verviers, Liège, Belgium, in 1987 and released 3 demos and one full length album. It was the first band for Christian Olde Wolbers (now Vio-Lence, ex-Fear Factory, ex-Cyclone, and even playing live at Korn and Overkill) he played in, succeeded Calo after the album was released.
During the early days of the 80s, acts as Ostrogoth, Crossfire, Acid, Cyclone and others used to show the strength of Belgian Metal scene. But as time passed by and attention shifted to USA Thrash Metal growing scene, it seemed that things there cooled down. And some bands choose the worst moment possible to release albums: when USA charts were taken by Alternative Rock tendencies. This made many good bands' releases to never earn the attention they deserved. In 1991, "Metallica" album made Metallica a huge name, and other Thrash Metal bands on USA had to follow the tendency (it was a do or die thing), and things had frozen on Germany. In other words: to stay on a USA classic Thrash Metal way influenced by early works of Metallica, Megadeth, Exodus and others (in other words, the combination of aggressiveness with melodic care) was a suicide, but the Asphyxia made it.  In 1991, the quintet tried its lucky with their only full-length, "Exit: Reality", that is reissued now.
Their music is technical and aggressive, but done with extreme care on the arrangements, with tons of energy and personality, what many Thrash Metal fans would ask for, but found a wall on the musical market changes back then. André Gielen worked as producer and on the sound engineering, giving the band a very good sonority that obeys the models heard on albums as "Peace Sells…" and "Fabulous Desaster". In other words: it's aggressive and nasty, but with a defined and clean outfit. And the artwork of Eric Philippe for the cover is really great.
Strong and aggressive, with very good vocals, sharp and insane guitar riffs and oppressive bass guitar and drums playing, this album makes the happiness of Thrash Metal fans. Today, "Exit: Reality" stays as a legacy for Asphyxia's existence. And if you're a Thrash Metal maniac, you must hear it!

The third full-length studio album by Finnish Psychedelic Doom Metal band.
"Astral Doom Musick" is Astral Sleep’s definitive creation. Four massive songs and 44 minutes of Experimental Doom Metal on detailed, organic and powerful audio track. The album is like life itself: beautiful yet horrid, complex and multi-layered, ever-changing and in constant movement.
Their overall sound takes the Psychedelic aspect and mixes it with Death Metal and a lot of melody. Clean vocals are prevalent as well and, while not as strong as the Death growls, they do fit the nature of the music rather well. Every song is here is multi layered with a lot of variety and directions happening.
Gatefold 180g vinyl with ornamental artwork includes board game. The game expands and deepens the concept of the album and takes players to the heart of the story. The "musick" and the game deliver the full album experience, independently or in unity. The compined entity offers an in-depth experience of the album’s mythological world. Game tells the album narrative through a 12-page game book, and lets the players experience the story in an interactive old-school fun way. The game is playable solo, or with multiple players, and requires minimal preparations. It has designed to offer a lot for music lovers and board gamers alike, and withstand the test of time.
“Astral Doom Musick” is a solid slab of Psychedelic Doom Metal that might also appeal to people who want to get into longer songs but are not ready to wade into the waters of Funeral Doom Metal.  As the album displays a wide variety, both traditional Doom and Melodic Death/Doom Metal fans will also want to check this out!

First re-release of the first EP by cult British Heavy Metal band.
After the end of the Venom/Exodus tour, Atomkraft prepared and recorded a new EP, with the tracks "Your Mentor" on the Side A, and "Demolition", "Funeral Pyre" and "Mode III" on the Side B. The EP did not get released in this form, as a rift developed in the band as a result of discussions over management. Vocalist/bassist Tony "Demolition Man" Dolan subsequently left the band. Neat Records then released the track "Your Mentor" as part of the "Powertrax" promotional cassette, while the vocal tracks on the rest of the "Your Mentor" sessions were re-recorded by Ian Davison-Swift from Avenger on vocals. D.C. Rage (Darren Cook of Avenger) was brought in as bassist and two new tracks were recorded, with the new four-piece, "Queen of Death" and "Protectors" (although Alan Hunter of Tysondog had originally contributed vocals to "Protectors").
In October 1986, the re-titled "Queen Of Death" EP was released with the title track and "Protectors" on the A-side, and "Demolition", "Funeral Pyre" and "Mode III" on the B-side.
Atomkraft are a class act, and this EP holds up fairly well if you're accustomed to the production of deep 80s Thrash/Speed Metal efforts. Recommended for fans of old Venom, Razor, Exciter and Avenger!

The third full-length studio album by legendary American Melodic Hard Rock/Glam Metal band.
The final album to feature original material by all five original members.
Recording a string of highly successful albums, the band peaked with this album, unleashing a beast of significant firepower and songs that would stand not only the test of time but would also improve with age. Produced by Brit legend Andy Johns (Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, Humble Pie, Cinderella) the album exudes Class-A Hard Rock all the way.
The title track, "Loud And Clear", has a music video with Ozzy Osbourne and Vince Neil as extras. Two of the tracks featured on this album, "Dance All Night" and "She Never Looked that Good For Me", appeared (alongside with the band members themselves) in the 1987 fantasy-comedy film "Like Father Like Son", released the same year.
With not proving to be as commercially successful as their 1984 debut, "Loud And Clear" failed in sales and subsequently the band went on a long hiatus. The band would not issue another release until 1997.

The debut full-length studio album by legendary German Melodic Heavy Metal band.
In the 1980s, Germany was a hotbed of Heavy Metal and Hard Rock action - it was Germany that gave fans the Scorpions, Accept and Warlock. Germany was also the home of Axxis, who was never as big as the Scorpions or Accept, but made some decent contributions to the Metal/Hard Rock field.
It was a much different time in 1989, when Axxis burst onto the scene with their debut "Kingdom Of The Night". The Heavy Metal scene was ruled by bands such as The Scorpions, Poison and a host of others that filled the airways with a much more radio friendly guitar oriented Rock that was based on catchy hooks and anthem like choruses. Axxis is one of the bands that jumped on this bandwagon and have yet to get off!
This disc, which was the best-selling debut album in Germany at the time, is filled with all the quintessential trappings you would expect from this kind of band. From the album' openers, "Living In A World" and "Kingdom Of The Night", you get the obligatory fiery anthem like Metal that will have the fist pumping and the crowd singing along with the refrain! Lead singer Bernhard Weiss is given the chance to show the right amount of angst with not one, but two mandatory power ballads with "Fire And Ice" and "Tears Of The Trees".
Guitar work of Weiss and Walter Pietsch is very good throughout the album, and the vocals of Bernhard is as very good too.
"Kingdom Of The Night" is decent and respectable album. It is easy to see why this album did so well. It gives people just what they want without having to delve to deep. This album will bring back memories of music that was less complicated and unpretentious. It was just Rock And Roll!

The ninth live album by Japanese Kawaii Metal band.
The chance to see a Japanese band live (especially in the Western music sphere) is rare, particularly with the travel restrictions many bands and artists faced due to the pandemic. On October 10th of 2021, Babymetal entered their 10th anniversary year, and, to round off this very special year, they released a live album, which includes a series of 10 performances which unfolded from January to April 2021at the Nippon Budokan venue in Tokyo, Japan, held in accordance with the country’s guidelines.
Even with the audience in the band’s branded ‘Savior Masks’ on top of their own masks for the show, the powerful chants and cheers from the crowd can be heard loud and clear on each track. Whether joining in with the lyrics, proclaiming their excitement for a song’s intro, or signaling enjoyment in general around the event, this actually helps elevate all 13 tracks, as if a full choir was added into the mix. It makes each song richer and fuller, especially in the mix of songs within the band’s set-list.
From the intro track, the band creates a mysterious but exciting opening, creating anticipation for all listening in as the cheers from the crowd add to the excitement. Even if you can’t see the performers, the band’s dynamic power and energy translates through the show and into the album!
This is an extremely well done live album, where the balance of excellent music and crowd reactions help create one epic sound and experience the moment the listener hits play. An intricately chosen set-list with exceptionally talented musicians in a legendary venue helps create one unforgettable experience that transitions well for those unable to or who have yet to see the band themselves. Playing at Budokan is a goal for many bands, and Babymetal shows they can rock even in the best places in the world! A fantastic listening experience all around!!

The third full-length studio album by legendary British Dance-Pop band.
The album contains the band's most commercially successful Single to date, a cover version of Shocking Blue's 1969 song "Venus", which peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States.
After becoming one of the biggest girl bands in U.K. Pop music history, and after scoring a Top Ten U.S. hit with "Cruel Summer", Bananarama reached the commercial pinnacle of their career with their third album. This album also marked an artistic change of pace for the trio because they began to utilize super hit producers Stock, Aitken & Waterman, who helped them turn the 1970 Rock hit "Venus" into an unstoppable, unforgettable dance smash. In fact, their version was so huge that it became their only U.S. number one hit. The rest of the album, however, is a little darker than one might expect, with heavy lyrics and themes permeating the songs.
Other highlights include the second single, "More Than Physical", which was also produced by Stock, Aitken & Waterman, the moody third single, "Trick of the Night", the saucy "Hooked on Love", the Dance-Pop of "Promised Land", and the seductive "Dance with a Stranger".
"True Confessions" was a departure of sorts from the Post-Punk, New Wave girl band sound that made Bananarama so essential to early-'80s British Alt-Pop music. It represents a shift to Platinum success (which continued with their follow-up album, "Wow!"), and this album, along with the hit "Venus", are prime examples of classic '80s Dance-Pop music!
“True Confessions” reached number 46 on the UK Albums Chart and number 15 on the US Billboard 200.
