RARITIES

The fifth full-length studio album by the legendary American Melodic Progressive Rock/Metal band.
This is band’s highest charting record to date (for example 3rd position in “Billbord 200” chart). Queensryche's music is out on the border of what used to be known as progressive. Although they cut their teeth as a touring band opening for the likes of Ozzy Osbourne, AC/DC and Def Leppard, they're not really a straight-ahead Metal band, but rather inhabit a similar space as a band like Rush. Powerful, guitar and drum driven music, fleshed out with immense synthesizer flourishes, tricky rhythm changes, and varied dynamic shifts. To record this album, the band temporarily moved to a secluded island, where a studio was built in order to record "Promised Land". The album cover on the right is actually a small part of the artwork created for the album. In the CD version, the full version is available as a poster that doubles as lyric booklet.
Without a doubt this is Queensryche's most progressive and least accessable record. However, as can often be the case, a great work can take time to fully appreciate and those perhaps not initially inclined towards the sound this album has to offer should give it a chance or two more.

The fifth full-length studio album by cult American Melodic Hard Rock/Heavy Metal band.
Despite the record's name, this is actually the band's fifth studio album. However, it is their third major label/worldwide release.
This is the first Quiet Riot album not to feature any cover songs, and the last to feature lead singer Kevin DuBrow until the 1993 album “Terrified”. It’s also the first Quiet Riot album to feature Chuck Wright, formerly of Giuffria, who replaced Rudy Sarzo on bass as an official member - prior to this, he had performed some uncredited bass work on the band's earlier albums. He would rejoin the band on an on/off basis over the years, and is in the current version of the band.
A heavier emphasis on keyboards suggests the band was trying to keep in step with such other chart topping bands as Night Ranger and Bon Jovi, as evidenced by the popular MTV video - stadium hymn "The Wild and the Young", and the more restrained "Twilight Hotel".
Although "QR III" was greeted favorably by their remaining fans, the album failed to match the mega-sales of their major label debut album. Following the massive success of "Metal Health" and the more modest reception of "Condition Critical" (which failed to duplicate "Metal Health"'s success, but still went top 20 and receive a Platinum certification), sales of "QR III" were even lower, reaching only No. 31 on the US charts. It marked Quiet Riot's final plunge away from stardom as the band's following releases would not enter the charts at all. With constant bickering behind the scenes, DuBrow was handed his walking papers shortly after the ensuing tour ended.

7th full-length album by famous Greek Gothic Black Metal band.
The release showed some return to the band's more raw and harsh Black Metal sound from old releases instead of mellowing out like most bands at the time, featuring fast, percussive tempos and raw vocals, as well as some gothic and doom elements from middle releases.
Produced by Holy Moses guitarist Andy Classen at the Stage-One-Studio, Germany (Krisiun, Belphegor and Callenish Circle).

Fifth full-length album by the cult Greek Gothic/Black Metal band.
Like previous releases, "A Dead Poem" and "Triarchy Of The Lost Lovers", the band refined their direction to a slower style with more emphasis on atmosphere and melodicism than brutality. Despite mixed critical consensus of the album, it was supported during the band's first-ever tour in the United States.
Resuming the path started on "Triarchy Of The Lost Lovers", Rotting Christ show just a mild sort of improvement and honing of a sound with "Sleep Of The Angels". Rotting Christ focuses again on symphonics and a modern romantic Doom sound reminiscient of Alastis, current Samael and even a hint of Rammstein. There are moments where vocalist/guitarist Sakis sounds similar to Moonspell's vocalist in "Wolfheart" era. The simple riffing is very effective within the structure of the style, a lot of large sounding chords and subtle picking. Moreover, this approach mixed with the subtle but alluring lush keyboards is very successful in translating a mood and feel.
"Sleep Of The Angels" on a whole is a very nicely sequenced and unified package. A good step up from "A Dead Poem" and recommended to fans of Atmospheric Metal!!

Tenth full-length album by the legendary Greek Extreme/Black Metal band.
Seemingly inspired by the blockbuster special effects film 300, which chronicled their ancient countrymen's heroic efforts to repel the much larger invading armies of Persia, Greek's greatest heavy metal band, Rotting Christ, delivered an evocative concept piece about a soldier's experience in battle for their tenth album "Aealo". In fact, this title is an archaic Greek word meaning catastrophe or destruction, and along with the frequent warrior chants and fighting sound effects riddling these ten tracks, it serves as a perfect representation of the lyrical content herein.
Musically, "Aealo" peels away the orchestral backdrops and Gothic shrouds so prevalent on recent Rotting Christ albums to reveal the band's fundamental, Melodic Black Metal essentials shorn to their core - to the point that some fans may find the overall mix rather ascetic and thin by Extreme Metal standards. Meanwhile, novel sounds include the throatier growling style often employed by frontman Sakis (although his trademark rasp lives on as well) and a cornucopia of Folk elements ranging from the snaking melodies gracing tracks like "Dub-Sag-Ta-Ke" and "...Pir Threontai," to the uncanny chants contributed by the traditional choir group Pliades to the title track, "Demonon Vrosis," and comprising the entirety of "Nekron Lahes...". Even with all of these innovations, though, Rotting Christ's identity is never in doubt, thanks to their trademark blend of tight riffing (almost Industrial in nature), fluid soloing (brilliantly showcased on "Fire, Death and Fear"), and punctuating harmonics that somehow manage to come off as both incredibly violent and improbably infectious, as epitomized by climaxing highlights "Noctis Era," "Thou Art Lord," and "Santa Muerte." Finally, closing the album and somewhat apart from it, too, is a cover of Diamanda Gal s' "Orders from the Dead," featuring the fearsome harpy herself, which, if nothing else, sheds light on Rotting Christ's intrepid will to experiment and evolve, even whilst digging into history's murky depths for inspiration. Indeed, who knows where that progressive attitude will take them next, but with a track record such as theirs, whatever it is can't come soon enough.

Sixth full-length album by the German Hard’n’Heavy legend.
“Lovedrive” was a major evolution of the band's sound, which exhibited their classic style that would be later developed over their next few albums.
Michael Schenker, younger brother of rhythm guitarist Rudolf Schenker, performed lead guitar on 3 songs. This is the first album to feature Matthias Jabs on lead guitar, and by extent, first to feature the band's "classic" lineup.
Album certified as Gold on 28 May 1986 by the RIAA and ranked 25 on IGN's list of the top 25 Metal Albums.

The eleventh full-length studio album by legendary German Hard’n’Heavy band.
The band's first album in a decade and a half to not be produced by Dieter Dierks and is widely considered to be the last "classic" Scorpions album. It was the last studio album to feature the "Lovedrive" - era lineup, with bassist Francis Buchholz leaving the band in January 1992.
After the release of "Savage Amusement" in 1988, the Scorpions expressed disdain toward the album, feeling that it was too polished when compared to their other work. Their longtime producer, Dieter Dierks, was replaced with well-known Rock producer Keith Olsen, who would produce "Crazy World" and assist in making it one of the Scorpions' greatest recordings. Their music had certainly changed since "Savage Amusement", sounding a little bit heavier and less glamorous. But even with the Metal sound, the songs remain melodic and catchy. The power ballads on the album, "Wind of Change" and "Send Me an Angel", are arguably two of the band's greatest slow numbers, boasting soothing harmony and lyrics. 
"Crazy World" peaked at number 21 on Billboard 200 Chart in 1991. The song "Wind of Change" reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1991, and "Send Me an Angel" reached number 44 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In the UK, it remains the only Scorpions album to attain Silver certification (60,000 units sold) by the British Phonographic Industry, achieving this in November 1991. In the United States, it is the band's second best-selling album to 1984's "Love At First Sting", and their last one to be certified at least Gold by the RIAA.
"Crazy World" remains the Scorpions' finest '90s album and is sure to please its listeners!

Japanese edition of the eighth full-length album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
The album became the first record of the band recorded with a low order and was designated by the band as the most experimental album. It is to be played mostly in Drop C# tuning. The album's title is a Latin term for "The Devil in Music", a musical interval known for its dissonance. Lyrical themes explored on the album include religion, cultural deviance, death, insanity, war, and homicide. Guitarist Jeff Hanneman wrote most of the album's content.
It is the second studio album to feature drummer Paul Bostaph.
This is an album everybody can enjoy. It bears the heaviness that many fans enjoy while maintaining that fast paced Thrash element fans of classic Slayer look for. It progresses beyond the stale sound developed from "Divine Intervention" and "Undisputed Attitude". Finally, it honestly and wholeheartedly kicks ass!!
The album received fairly critical reviews and despite of this it sold in the amount of 46000 copies in the first week and reached position number 31 on the Billboard 200. As of August 16, 2006 the album has sold 290000 copies in the United States.
Japanese edition includes two bonus tracks (“Wicked” and “Unguarded Instinct”), booklet-sleeve with fold-out Japanese insert and OBI-strip.

The debut studio album by German Folk/Gothic Metal band.
Formed around July - August 2005 by Stefan Hertrich (Shiva in Exile, ex- Darkseed, ex- Sculpture, ex-Death Of Eden), the project was a sort of unofficial follow up to 1999's Betray My Secrets band, which featured Stefan Hertrich, Christian Bystron and Harald Winkler. Spi Ritual features almost nothing but guest musicians playing different instruments, with the only core member being Stefan Hertrich. Maurizio Guolo (Darkseed, Pergamon, Absorbed in Thought) played drums on the album.
Mixing Ethnic and Middle Eastern elements with loud, blasting Metal, vicious vocals, awe-inspiring guitar work, an abundance of ambiance and a roster of guest musicians that could practically take up an entire page of the booklet, Spi Ritual's "Pulse" leaves few areas untouched.
Enhanced CD includes a multimedia section with a video clip "Pulse" + multimedia track with footage, additional music, and texts by Stefan Hertrich and D. Ph. Christian Rätsch. A pressing error caused the digipak to open improperly.
Each CD autographed by Stefan Hertrich and comes with a Spi-Ritual sticker.

The ninth full-length studio album by American Rock band.
Absolutely one of the finest albums of their long career and one of the greatest examples of Classic Rock you could ever experience.
Filled with several Hit Singles and celebrated album tracks, this watershed multi-Platinum album continues to be one of the most revered albums ever in their stunning catalogue, remaining many weeks in the upper rungs of the music charts after its release.
The album was the first where the band shied away from the Art Rock/Prog Rock influences, that dominated their first eight studio albums, and was the band's first move towards a more Pop/Rock direction.
“Cornerstone” became Styx's first US Top 5 album, peaking at #2 on the Billboard album chart and is currently sitting at Double Platinum, according to the R.I.A.A., although A&M said it went Triple Platinum (3 million copies sold in the US).

The fifth full-length studio album by legendary American Hard Rock/Soft Rock singer.
"If You Knew Suzi…" is a Quatro's highest-charting album in the United States (it peaked at number 37 on The Billboard 200). The tracks were recorded in Cologne (Germany), Paris (France), and Glendale (California), and then mixed in California and mastered in London, to be distributed by a company based in New York City.
The US and Canadian pressing of the album omitted the Vanda and Young-penned song "Evie", and included "Stumblin' In" (a duet with Chris Norman) in its replacement. "Stumblin' In" was the biggest US single hit, which reached number 4 in both, The Billboard Hot 100 and the Billboard Adult Contemporary charts. It also had an advertising billboard on Sunset Boulevard.

Second re-release of the fifth full-length studio 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!!!

The sixth full-length album by the legendary Swedish Symphonic/Operatic Metal band.
The album was released in the year that the band celebrated their tenth anniversary. The record contains a few unused songs from "Theli", a few cover songs the band had made, plus a full soundtrack Christofer Johnsson had made independently for the film called "The Golden Embrace".
This is probably the best album to introduce new listeners to Therion. This is a very well orchestrated and guitar oriented album that dips even towards classical music. The choirs and duos in this album are also very intriguing to hear. This is also the second Post Pure Death Metal album showing the shift from former Death Metal to Progressive/Gothic Metal.
The choirs and singer both chime in finely and sound good with the music. The female and male duets are also a good listen with shifts. The solo soprano singers just like on "Lepaca Kliffoth" though on this album the singers are greatly impressive.
All in all a quite interesting compilation for every Therion fan!
If you like bands like Nightwish and also Kamelot this is somewhere in between in sounds.This is also the best way to listen to Therion for the first time as appose to "Deggial" which takes a bit of an open mind and a taste for classical music!
