The debut full-length studio album by legendary German Hard’n’Heavy band.
The band’s eponymous debut album was a brand of Deep Purple-like Hard Rock that was virtually indistinguishable from anything that was coming in Britain at the start of the famous NWOBHM movement. The vocals were still sung in lower register, the riffs consist almost all minor-key power-chording or melancholic ballads, with only rare tribal up-tempo show-stoppers.
"Accept" was released at 1979 in Germany and 1984 in US. On Accept's first album, these Teutonic Headbangers still standing under the Scorpions' shadow have yet to find their voice. There are small glimmers of future promise here, namely in Wolf Hoffmann's very capable guitar work. The main problem here is that the band are still in the process of building their own musical identity. The songs vary from the charging Metal rhythms of "Lady Lou" to the smoky, balladry of "Seawinds" (sung by bassist Peter Baltes). Much of the material is of reminiscent of Uli Jon Roth era Scorpions Hard'n'Heavy, but their ideas aren't yet so potent.
Guitarist Wolf Hoffmann later remembered the debut as simply a collection of songs the band had worked up over their formative years, with no real focus: "We were just playing songs that we had always played. It was material that had gathered up over the first few months and years of our existence and it was a mixture of all kinds of stuff." 
Accept are probably the most influential and most important German Heavy Metal band. They would gain better production values and a more cohesive direction on future releases, but the debut was an important early step that gained them the ability to play the neighboring countries of Belgium, the Netherlands and France for the first time.

The second full-length studio album by cult British Hard Rock band.
Alaska was founded and led by former Whitesnake guitarist Bernie Marsden. After the first album release, band toured Europe as the opening act for Manowar. On their debut album, Alaska had their own identify - Guitar Rock with heavy synthesizer.
With their second and final album, Bernie Marsden’s Alaska sounding ever more like Whitesnake.
So, this is a worthy album for fans of Marsden and Whitesnake, as well as all AOR lovers in general!

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.

The third full-length studio album by legendary German Melodic Hard Rock/Glam Metal band.
One of the Melodic Hard Rock scenes most talented and yet underrated bands, with their energetic anthems, fist pumping rockers, and high-class Power ballads. It's a shame that not many people know about this band.
Released in 1988, "Point Blank" was the follow-up to Bonfire's breakthrough album "Fire Works" and it surpassed all expectations. The sound here is not typical 80's Hard Rock but that is an obvious influence. The best comparison would be "Jump The Gun" era Pretty Maids.
The music begins with "Bang Down the Door" and "Waste No Time", two semi-fast paced full on Hard Rock songs with infectious melodies and just exploding with energy. "Hard On Me" has some nice keyboards in the intro as well and slows down just a bit to a more mid-tempo level. After this comes the first ballad, "Why is it Never Enough". An almost epic track (for an 80's Melodic Hard Rock band) comes next. "Tony's Roulette" has a guitar melody line that is very recognizable and a gang shouted chorus that makes this a sleeper hit amongst other Bonfire fans. A rather odd interlude track is next, and then after that comes one of the best songs, "You're Back". With a beautiful intro riff, this song shows everyone the blueprint to Hard Rock perfection, pounding drums, melodies out the ass, and a chorus that borders on godliness it simply cannot be beat. "Look of Love" and "The Price of Loving You" are some nice slow songs, not ballads but slow driving love songs like only Bonfire can do... an excellent songs in an excellent album...
During the recording sessions of this album, Hans Ziller was fired from the band, but the album features ten songs written by him as well as three that feature him playing. Freddy Curci from Alias, Sheriff and Zion also contributed to additional backing vocals for this album. Originally, the band had recorded 30 songs and settled on 17 tracks for the album (CD; 15 on vinyl version).
"Point Blank" entered the UK album charts on 21 October 1989, and reached number 74; it was only in the chart for 1 week.
This is one of the best Melodic Hard Rock albums ever made. It's not a classic in the sense but it is an essential nonetheless. Every song on here is at least above average and over half of the album is Hard Rock perfection! Give Bonfire a listen and help bring them out of the shadows!!

Second full-length album by the 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 second full-length studio album by Chilean Thrash Metal band.
“Religion Of Sin” is as it sounds, a straightforward piece of South American machinery with plenty of admiration towards the European and the American Thrash scenes. It's shattering and crushing, tormenting as if it was a part of earlier discography of the Teutonic lords, Kreator, and moderately tasting the oxidized blood irons of Dark Angel, with a fierce type of Thrash Metal, letting their damnation out with sheer force.
It started with the main riffs, heat fuming guitar soloing that burned your skins, and of course the Petrozza like vocals at full stretch, piercing with glory. Nonetheless, it also noticeable that Demencia struggled to step out of the old Kreator-ish dignitary while adjoining a few uneven song assemblies, speed demon passages, and slightly Americanised Thrash Metal riffs. And in general it worked out for them, but it still sounds and walks like a Kreator late 80s release, of course not bad.
Infusing songs in Spanish was a right call in order to secure their South American roots intact, and at least one of them creased with no mercy. The Kreator-ish doctrine within the rhythms and beats, made Demencia to come up with lead guitar efforts that in their benefit stood tall.
It's recommend to be listened by every Metalhead that respects the meaning of moshing and Metal as well as for fans of Destruction, Sodom, Kreator, and Dark Angel!!

A mixture of material comprising fast and Thrashy numbers, melodic hooks and mid-tempo songs.
With no interest in repeating themselves or treading water, Exumer always set out to create a record that is not only better but also markedly different to that which preceded it.
A 42-minute full on attack, the Thrash faction hold nothing back as they unleash hell as only they can, yet with more variety and dynamics than ever before!

Debut full-length studio album by the legendary American Epic Heavy/Power Metal band.
What does "Battle Hymns" mean to us this day? Well, it shows a band accused of excess at their leanest, playing with such heart and such sonic thunder, and with an urgency that would be severely lessened for most of their career. Manowar's status as the laughing stock of Metal is a pretty good example of just how Metal is misunderstood by the masses, and indeed, by the fans themselves... Manowar deserve celebration far more so then mockery, definitely. No big deal though; if music critics would rather listen to pop offered by Motown Records then this then clearly they've got some sort of serious mental illness and there's nothing we can do. Needless to say, you seriously need this album if you like good music!
This guys unwittingly created a masterpiece! Enjoy it for all its intentions and what it truly delivers!!

The fifth full-length studio album by legendary American Epic Heavy/Power Metal band.
This is Metal as it should be! Energetic, great riffs, the incarnation of a vocal-god in Eric Adams and of course a whole bunch of the best Metal songs that ever have seen the light of this planet!!
With "Carry On", "Defender" and "Black Wind, Fire And Steel" there are three immortal classics on this album, which truly deserve their place in the Olymp of Metal. Stomping rhythms, screeching guitars, the divine vocals of Eric Adams - you just have to love it!
This was the first Manowar album to feature artwork by long-time collaborator Ken Kelly, and also the first Heavy Metal album to be recorded and mixed entirely on digital equipment!!
"Defender" features the speech of Orson Welles. The album was released 2 years after Welles died. The recording of Welles' speech was re-used from the original 1983 recording of the song.
"Blow Your Speakers" was selected by VH1 as one of the 40 Most Awesomely Bad Metal Songs.

The sixth full-length studio album by legendary American Epic Heavy/Power Metal band.
On their anthemic mission statement, "Kings Of Metal", Manowar once again proclaim their Metal superiority thusly: "Other bands play, Manowar kills"!
The twin sentiments of the band's Metal mastery and the majesty of medieval heroism in battle are doggedly repeated on their sixth full-length release. There aren't many surprises on the disc, with the possible exception of bassist Joey DeMaio's blinding 64th-note bass playing on a reworking of Russian classicist Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumblebee" entitled "Sting of the Bumblebee". Considered by some fans to be a classic of its own, the 1988 release might have a many ballads for Power Metal enthusiasts, brushing up on the genre's history. Besides their refreshingly totalistic loyalty to form, Manowar's most admirable trait is their prodigious Metal musicianship, but with so much slow, balladic material, "Kings of Metal" makes little use of the band's fundamental musical strengths.
The album was the last to feature guitarist and founding member Ross "The Boss" Friedman, who later went on to rejoin punk band The Dictators. Drummer Scott Columbus left the band after this album as well, but rejoined for 1996's “Louder Than Hell” and remained with the band until 2008.
“Kings Of Metal” is the most popular album in the history of the Manowar, which entered the list of "200 Best Rock Albums of All Time".

One of the best Manowar’s albums and the last of the band’s classic era, "Sign Of The Hammer" brings all the successful elements of the first three albums together resulting in Manowar's most consistent and cohesive album to that point in their career.
It is a good a place to start, as any if you've never listened to Manowar, as everything you need to know about the band is right here. This is an album that should own everyone, who claims they like Heavy Metal. Everyone, who likes music in general, should have a copy of this epic masterpiece!

First re-release of the second full-length studio album by legendary Ukrainian Pagan/Folk/Symphonic Black Metal band.
Nokturnal Mortum dwells in one of the darkest and forsaken realms of the Underground. Emanating from Ukraine, they have become legends in their ancient lands. In seven opuses band feature beauty in its darkest and most extreme form. What can be described as Lunar Black Metal, they take on a majestic journey that combines devastating Metal, with Folklore and Classical elements. This is a legendary epic - a grandiose masterpiece that only Nokturnal Mortum can deliver.
What makes Nokturnal Mortum stand above the rest is the very tasteful and effective use that is made of them. Their different voices and grades of presence make a strong contribution to the different moods and atmospheres to be found in each of the lengthy songs (the shortest one is around 7 minutes long). Band also imitate the sounds of traditional instruments that come in every now and then (one of the band’s trademarks), and the result is very realistic.
"Goat Horns" is one of a kind album - original, raw, melodic, atmospheric, immense in its symphonic scope and immediate in its enthralling charisma. "A blaze from the Ukrainian sky" - this is how this album can be described!
Specially mastered for vinyl, with complete new layout, "Goat Horns" re-issue comes with the original album cover. Limited Edition to 100 copies 180g Transparent Swamp Green Vinyl with silkscreen on Side D, housed in Gatefold 350g cover with pms print & silver hotfoil stamping, including 220g uncoated (matte) printed inner sleeves, all assembled in PVC overbag.

First re-release of the debut full-length album by legendary Ukrainian Pagan/Folk/Symphonic Black Metal band.
Originally released in 1996 on MC and considered by most as a demo-album, it's a professionally recorded full-length album and highly anticipated cult release requested by fans of elite Slavonic Black Metal, that was reissued on CD for a several times.
"Lunar Poetry" is steeped in moonlight mystery and timeless Slavonic ritualism. This is Black Metal with highly expressive Folk sorrowful melodies. It delivers soaring guitars and apocalyptic keyboard passages. It offers a wide variance in vocals, from screams to whispers and narration, and it breathes the air of originality that Nokturnal Mortum is famous for.
Similar to Limbonic Art in their reliance on rumbling rhythm patterns and keyboard usage, Nokturnal Mortum did a fine job of capturing both - the bleakness of Black Metal, as well as a more ethnic representation of their native Ukrainian Folk music. The music is extremely fluid and tends to lean towards a more majestic and beautiful sound than harshness of Black Metal.
The band also covers Celtic Frost's "Sorrows of the Moon" with a nice degree of skill.
"Lunar Poetry" was way ahead of its time, and even today, it sounds fresh and inspiring. In fact, the result is so startling - it is hard to imagine that this is only Nokturnal Mortum's very first journey into the dark, the ancient and the extreme... Regardless of occasional inexperience that is typical for a demo, "Lunar Poetry" is a beautiful, stirring and impressive album that utterly requires your attention if you have any liking for a keyboard laden Black Metal assault! Without a doubt, "Lunar Poetry" is one of the best Black Metal albums ever!!

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.

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).

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!!!
