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).
CD signed by ROTTING CHRIST at Brutal Assault Festival, Josefov, Jaroměř, Czech Republic, August, 10, 2017.

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.

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 seventh full-length studio album by legendary British Hard Rock/Glam Metal band.
Also known as “Whitesnake” or “Snake Album” (released in Europe as “1987” and as “Serpens Albus” in Japan and USA). The differences are small, but they are enough to make it interesting. The first difference is the track order, which is very different. The album seems to flow a little better the way it is presented here, especially when utilizing "Still of the Night" as the opening track. This has always been one of their best songs, and by far one of the best Led Zeppelin rip-offs to ever be written. There are also two more songs than on the American release, making it that much more essential to fans. Of the two, "Looking for Love" is the standout; a nice slow build to a blustery chorus makes this a classic David Coverdale ballad. "You're Gonna Break My Heart Again" is the hard rocker, and though it isn't exactly the holy grail of Hard Rock, it is a decent song that fits nicely with the other material here. If the option is presented, this is the superior edition and should be purchased above the edited American version. Fans will need the two extra songs, while anyone looking to hear their best album should hunt this down for the superior track order!
The album aimed for more of a Heavy Metal sound than the previous ones but still managed to produce a major Soft Rock hit, "Is This Love". David Coverdale built Whitesnake's commercial breakthrough on a collection of loud, polished Hard Rockers, plus the band's best set of Pop hooks. The Led Zeppelin-ish "Still of the Night" offered headbanger appeal, but it was the big chorus of "Here I Go Again" - one of the very small number of non-power ballad '80s Hard Rock singles to actually top the Pop charts, and the quiet ballad "Is This Love" that really sold the album in spades. The rest of the album generally holds interest as well, and it's easily the band's best!!
The album was a major crossover hit eventually selling over eight million copies in the US (and thus going 8 times Platinum). The album peaked at #2 on US Billboard 200, and #8 on the UK Albums Chart. Its success in the US boosted its predecessor, "Slide It In", from Gold to double Platinum status.

The fourth split release of two Thrash Metal bands - Xanadoo from Singapore and Fastkill from Japan.
"Thrashing In The East" presents two Asian Thrash Metal bands on one CD, coming together to provide 8 tracks of good, Thrashing fun. 

Xanadoo is fast Thrash Metal with traces of Crossover. Band‘s 2010 debut full-length album "Black. Death. Grind. Shit!" contained re-recorded versions of the tracks that were on the band’s previous 2 demos, "Blood Is Dirt" and "This Demo Is Shit", and while the quality of the re-recorded versions were certainly awesome as f**k, the fact that it contained only 1 new track ("Subterranean Hemorrhoid Blues") left fans craving for even more new material. "Thrashing In The East" is then that long-awaited antidote, with Xanadoo finally releasing 4 (well, technically 3) brand new tracks along with their Japanese compatriots Fastkill!
Includes an Abigail cover!

Fastkill is brutal fast Thrash the way it’s meant to be! As though the dosage of speed by Xanadoo weren’t enough, Fastkill begins their onslaught with a rough mix of "Stench Of Hell", off their recent full-length album, "Bestial Thrashing Bulldozer". The raw sound of this rough mix helps to bring out that high energy and intensity that is in the band’s playing, and is definitely a nice touch to the already devastating final version of the track. Toshio’s characteristic screechy vocals are still instantly recognizable, and so is the breakneck speed that Fastkill tends to indulge themselves in.
Sick Tankard cover includes!

Thrashing in the East is one hell of an exciting and enjoyable release, and while it is business as usual for speed maniacs Fastkill, the fresh tracks of Xanadoo definitely made this a noteworthy release as well! The craving is more than satisfied for now!!
