Re-release of the fourth full-length album by the cult Polish Black/Death/Dark Metal band.
Dark Side awake. It is in each of us, and sleeps from time to time. Unleash the dark side, and you will know what it can do... It is the dark side of the human soul is devoted to the occult and pagan masterpiece "Darkside", and 15 years later we can again immerse yourself in the magical atmosphere of the legendary album of blasphemous Poles Christ Agony.
Specificity of the genre moving away from Black Metal and firmly sits in the vast Dark Metal. However, this does not necessarily indicate a lack of an album, and in fact, dignity thanks shattered musical cliches full-off experiments. Electronic samples, the soft sound of flutes, percussion in the eastern style of performance, vocals bursting from screaming/growling to romantic-gothic, midtempo drums, keyboards ... accelerate air support, easy perception of the album and a rich palette of colors gives the sound of his unique artistic taste. The special charm of the album is hidden in the native language of musicians, lyrics which can be heard in 50 percent of the total material. Album strange chopped in half, like a fragment torn from suffering ... sometimes you can feel the violent moments close to Death Metal.
Album recorded by such famous musicians as : Cezar (Christ Agony; Moon; guest in Vader, Behemoth) and Doc (R.I.P. / ex-Vader; Dies Irae; Moon).
Album includes 12-pages booklet  with a completely revamped design (work of the same artist that in the first edition).
Autographed by band members at Prime Club, Kyiv, Ukraine in May 22, 2012.

The third full-length studio album by legendary American Blues/Hard Rock band.
This album presents some differences in its musical style, being more oriented towards Blues/Hard Rock instead of Glam Metal and being more evidently influenced by The Rolling Stones and Aerosmith. "Heartbreak Station" contained musical muscle, healthy diversity, good lyrics, creativity; high emotional content.
The album featured three singles, which were "Shelter Me", hitting #36 in the US, the title track, which made #44, and "The More Things Change", which didn't chart.
Album hit #19 in the US and went Platinum for selling a million albums there the same year. Vocalist Tom Keifer has stated on several occasions that this is his favorite Cinderella record.
After successful albums that effectively followed contemporary Hard Rock trends, Cinderella reached back into the Stones and Aerosmith songbooks and created a sneering, raunchy Hard Rock album that was artistically their finest moment, even if it didn't reach the same commercial heights as its predecessors. But the sales figures don't matter; "Heartbreak Station" shows that Cinderella has more genuine Rock & Roll grit than most of the Metal bands of the late '80s!
Recommended for any Blues inspired Hard Rock fan!!

The second full-length studio album by legendary American Glam/Blues Metal band.
Probably the best Cinderella’s album. With "Long Cold Winter", Cinderella started to move away from the Glam Metal music of their previous album and into a more Blues Rock-oriented direction, akin to early 1970s Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Humble Pie, Bad Company and Deep Purple.
The album is simply excellent to listen to from beginning to end, and even the track listings for this album are flawless. Tom Keifer's vocal performance cannot be rivaled by any other singer, and his talent is shown on every song of the album. Each and every song on this album is great!
The album features four singles, which all charted in the US. "Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone)", which was to be Cinderella's highest-charting single, reached No. 12, "The Last Mile" reached No. 36, "Coming Home" reached No. 20 and "Gypsy Road" hit No. 51, a year after the release of the album.
Album reached No. 10 in the US and became double Platinum for selling 2 million copies in the US by the end of the year, just as their debut album "Night Songs" had done earlier. It was later certified triple Platinum.

The debut full-length studio album by legendary American Glam Metal band.
Cinderella makes its debut in a flash of lightning and a puff of smoke with "Night Songs"! The first album by the band is easily one of best albums of all time. Why? Because Cinderella breaks new ground in many areas, and does it flawlessly. Most notably for this success is Tom Keifer, the lead singer and guitarist for Cinderella. Not only does Tom write most of the songs for Cinderella, but he also gave Hard Rock and Glam Metal a completely new meaning with his amazing falsetto! His voice has a bit of a growl to it, which at times can send chills down your spine, and also is a voice that nobody has matched.
Featuring a minor guest appearance by Jon Bon Jovi positions the band as a Pop-Metal outfit, but with Cinderella's own personality shows through at this point. 
"Night Songs" sold several million copies due to a combination of Cinderella's breakthrough single "Nobody's Fool", MTV airplay, and an opening slot on label mates Bon Jovi's tour, in support of their album "Slippery When Wet".
Leadoff single "Shake Me" failed to chart, but "Nobody's Fool" cracked the Top 20, reaching #13. Third single "Somebody Save Me" went to #66.
The album peaked at #3 on the US charts on February 7, 1987, and was certified double Platinum for selling 2 million copies there twelve days later. In May 1991, it was certified triple Platinum, having 3 million copies sold.
Cinderella takes Hard Rock and Glam Metal to a whole new level with their brand new, amazing sound. The sound of the album is great! Cinderella shows their talent in this album with each and every song! We love everything about this album, from the mind blowing guitar work, to the terrific drums, and maybe most of all, Tom Keifer's stunning vocals!!

Second full-lenght albumb by the German masters of Atmospheric Dark / Melodic Black/Death Metal band.
Very melodic, sympathetic music. Mid-tempo, slightly keyboard, some clean vocals (reminds a bit of Mark Empyrium), a little medieval times in between. Medieval sound patterns woven into harder Metal to sound that demands respect already, frequently to Crematory recalls in its early stages. Keyboard bombastic and a killer melody revive the songs!
This is one of the best CDs of the year!! Recommended for fans of Samael, Crematory... etc.

The twelfth full-length studio album by the legendary British Hard Rock band.
It’s the second recording by the re-formed Mark II line-up, considered as classic: Ian Gillan - vocals, congas, harmonica; Ritchie Blackmore - guitar; Roger Glover - bass, synthesizer; Jon Lord - organ, keyboards; Ian Paice - drums.
Though it was considered a disappointment upon its release (indeed, its production was much too sleek at times, and it lacked the creative daring of "Perfect Strangers"), 1987's "House Of Blue Light" has actually stood the test of time just as well, if not better, than its predecessor. This album showed Deep Purple searching for an 80s-flavored hit single, and by doing so, sounding similar to guitarist Ritchie Blackmore's other band, Rainbow.
Of the seventies Hard Rock dinosaurs that still roam the Earth, Deep Purple is one of the few with any credibility left in its crunch. "The House of Blue Light" is certainly a marked improvement over their lukewarm '84 comeback, "Perfect Strangers", and is as good as this band has ever been since its "Smoke On The Water" salad days.
"Bad Attitude" opens the album with five minutes of vintage "Machine Head" sludge - Ian Paice's thunder sticks calling the proceedings to order with a rigid goose-step beat, Ian Gillan raping his tonsils with the vigor of yesteryear. And "Mad Dog" is basically an '87-model "Highway Star," high-speed Metal fortified with Jon Lord's lusty Hammondorgan sound and the brass-knuckle guitar of Ritchie Blackmore.
The band has spiked its old hammer-and-anvil sound with a little future tech here and there: "The Unwritten Law" features subtly deployed electro-hand-claps and percolating sequencer amid its clenched-fist chorus and Blackmore's loco fretwork. But it's only when Purple turns on the retro-charm full blast that "The House Of Blue Light" really goes up in flames. "Hard Lovin' Woman" and "Dead or Alive" are both body-slam rockers in the old blitzkrieg spirit of "Speed King" and "Fireball", while Paice's sledgehammer-of-the-gods drumming and Blackmore's punch-your-lights-out chords keep "Call of the Wild", with its atypically Poppy hook, from turning into neo-Boston fluff.
"Strangeways" and a notable lack throughout the album of classic Blackmore psycho-chicken-scratch soloing, "The House Of Blue Light" is a surprisingly strong return from the tar pits. There's no "Smoke On The Water" here, but Deep Purple still has a pretty good fire going down below!!

The sixth full-length studio album by legendary British Hard Rock band.
Deep Purple simply were the finest musicians around in the early 70s. The bands stable line up for this whole period revolves around three of the biggest musicians ever namely: Ian Paice, Jon Lord and Ritchie Blackmore. These guys could simply out play anyone around at the time. Roger Glover, although one of the bands more modest members was a fantastic bassist who has some truly memorable moments on this album, including a bass solo. Ian Gillan is frankly the most fun you’ll ever have with Rock vocals. His range is phenomenal. For many people, it's the first Metal album ever (in terms of performing, sound, and production). For others, it's a simple hybrid attempt of trying to look different. Nonetheless, the influence of this album in the development of Metal music is gigantic!
“Machine Head” gives you everything: catchy songs between powerful tunes. A total machine, able to do whatever you expect from it. It's so Metal and so traditional at the same time. A necessary masterpiece in your collection, no doubt about it!

Deep Purple simply were the finest musicians around in the early 70s. The bands stable line up for this whole period revolves around three of the biggest musicians ever namely: Ian Paice, Jon Lord and Ritchie Blackmore. These guys could simply out play anyone around at the time. Roger Glover, although one of the bands more modest members was a fantastic bassist who has some truly memorable moments on this album, including a bass solo. Ian Gillan is frankly the most fun you’ll ever have with Rock vocals. His range is phenomenal. For many people, it's the first Metal album ever (in terms of performing, sound, and production). For others, it's a simple hybrid attempt of trying to look different. Nonetheless, the influence of this album in the development of Metal music is gigantic!
“Machine Head” gives you everything: catchy songs between powerful tunes. A total machine, able to do whatever you expect from it. It's so Metal and so traditional at the same time. A necessary masterpiece in your collection, no doubt about it!
