Re-release of the first compilation album by the legendary British Symphonic Gothic Black Metal band.
This 2-CD release is the culmination of the band's 1997-2002 era. This special album features 24 classic Cradle tracks, with over 143 minutes of music, including a left-handful of exclusive special tracks and mixes. This album described in Dani Filth's sleeve notes as "a favored grimoire of tracks coupled with the rare and unreleased; rather a “mess of” than a “best of”..." It was one of two Cradle of Filth records released in 2002 (the other being “Live Bait for the Dead”) and was de-signed to round off Cradle of Filth's contract with Music for Nations before their short-lived signing to Sony Records.
Disc one ("Lovecraft") consists of album tracks from their Music For Nations back catalogue. Disc two ("Witch Hearts") consists of extra tracks culled from limited and import editions of their Music For Nations releases (e.g. the two-disc version of “Cruelty and the Beast”; however, the versions on here are slightly altered), along with some remixes and covers of Slayer, Iron Maiden, Sodom, Massacre among others!

Re-release of the fourth full-length album by the legendary British Symphonic Gothic Black Metal band.
England's most notorious Metal band has returned with Chapter V - "Midian". Album was released on Halloween, 31 October. This album greatly differs to that of other Black Metal albums. It holds some unique characteristics and brings a new concept. It does not talk about vampires, but a place where demons, fallen angels, and monsters dwell, an idea whose origins come from the Old Testament. At the time it was considered their most commercial and accessible album to date.
The album marks the return of Paul Allender to the band, as well as the introduction of Adrian Erlandsson (At The Gates, The Haunted, Paradise Lost) and Martin Powell (My Dying Bride) and a shift towards a Thrash/Death Metal guitar sound, while still retaining that totally unique Cradle Of Filth’s individuality. It’s a good display on the heaviness achieved in the record. The lead riffs and high pitched vocals are more apparent than ever, but the band seems to mold them into a heavier sound seamlessly. "Her Ghost in the Fog" spawned a music video, which received heavy rotation on MTV2 and other rock channels, and was directed by Alex Chandon (who also directed the 2001 horror film “Cradle of Fear” in which Dani Filth appeared).
The band pulled itself together after what must have been the worst time for Cradle Of Filth ever; the new line-up rocks and "Midian" is an impressive addition to the saga! Dark, heavy and aggressive album!!

The third full-length album by the Swedish Glam Metal band.
Over the last few years or so, it seems that Sweden – traditionally known for its contribution to the more Extreme realms of Metal – has experienced somewhat of a Hair Metal revival. Some of it has been quite horrible, however, quite a lot of it has been beyond excellent; and falling into this later camp, along with veterans Harcore Superstar and the insanely awesome Crashdiet, is Malmo’s Crazy Lixx. The band’s third album, doesn’t quite match up to their previous offering, the outstanding "New Religion" (2010), but that’s only because that album was so damn good, and otherwise "Riot Avenue" is another great release from one of the scene’s best and most exciting bands. 
"Riot Avenue," for all its gloss and polish, sees the band taking a much more reserved, Bluesy, Hard Rock approach to their music, as opposed to the huge Bubblegum, Pop-Metal anthems of "New Religion" and "Loud Minority." AC/DC seems to be of particular influence, specifically on “Young Blood” and “In The Night", whose main riff and bass break may as well have been lifted directly from “Let there Be Rock". All the while though, the Swedes blend this new aesthetic with their tried and true, Mötley Crüe, Punk Rock, street imagery and Def Leppard quality song writing and production to create something that is at once so camp and so sincere. The songs are, for the most part, entirely predictable and beyond overblown.
There’s just so much energy and excitement packed into the album, that the familiar predictability of the songs actually works to its advantage; continuously titillating the listener while all the time guaranteeing a huge, if comfortable, payoff. 
"Riot Avenue" may not be the most creative or original of releases, but it isn’t meant to be. What it’s meant to be is a celebration of this kind of music and above all fun, and in this respect it delivers in spades. If you’ve ever enjoyed anything by Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Skid Row or anything of that ilk, then "Riot Avenue" is not to be missed!!

American Thrash/Death style has driven Crepuscolo’s style too. The 10 songs are the summa of Crepuscolo way of composing and intending Death Metal, nothing is left to chance, every note of every riff has been thought to be conseguence of the first one and the motor-breath of the following one, amalgamated by passion e feeling.
Lyrics are about many stuff: “My Scars Tell A Story” is a deep thought about how much hard sometimes life is; “Unzen” talks about a Japanese vulcano; “Under the Oak’s Shadow” is about our souls and the feeling with nature; “You Tomb” is an angry scream against apathetic people who prefer to stay in front of a computer instead of living a real life; “The Fate That Life Gives” is a reflection about destiny; “Not for the Mass” talks about the fact that Death Metal is not for everyone, but just for who live in that way; “Shock” is a shout against the earthquake that destroyed people lives 2 years ago; “Monomania” is inspired by a E.A. Poe’s novel; “Reflected Soul” is an istrumental song, dedicated to a friend who passed away; “Memento” is taken and translated from an Italian poet Iginio Ugo Tarchetti.

Mixing elements of Gothic Metal, Nu-Metal, Art Rock and more, Crimson Blue delivers you the brand new stuff, a modern music that is absolutely original, full of personality and amazing essence. The flexible and rich vocals of the female singer Dani mixed with low tuned guitar duets, floating harmonies and catchy melodies, put the band in the same universe of bands like Lacuna Coil, A Perfect Circle, Nightwish, Opeth. Every track of the album has differences. This music has climate. Musicians has their way of playing and their work is totally interesting, you wouldn't be bored, because you can still find new sounds. From powerful to sensitive sounds, oriental sounds, modern echoes and melody.
This is music of high class with an excellent and charismatic singer, powerful structures and an overall strong production with songs that have the absolute potential to become real chart breaker. Every open minded Metal, Rock or Gothic fan should give it a chance!
Highly recommend to fans of Lacuna Coil, A Perfect Circle, Nightwish, Tristania, Moonspell, Epica, Theatre Of Tragedy, Within Temptation, After Forever, and to every female fronted Gothic Metal fan!!

Based on musical influences from bands like Dokken, Slaughter, old Def Leppard, old, Firehouse, early Guns 'N' Roses and Bon Jovi, Crossfire have created an impressive debut. Produced by Beau Hill (Ratt, Europe, Winger, Twisted Sister, etc.) and mastered by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in LA (Marty Friedman, Racer – X, Jason Becker, Mr. Bungle, etc.), this album will take you on a 45-minute ride in the backseat of your dreams!
This is f***ing brilliant!! If you like Crashdiet, Loud 'N Nasty and Dirty Penny, you must own this immediately!!! Like those bands, this is simple but effective as hell. Musically awesome and the verses are just heavenly, with some killer choruses too. It's nothing original, but it's a perfect example of how good Soft Metal can be done well. Highly recommended!!!!

The second full-length studio album by Italian Epic Melodic Death/Gothic Dark Metal band.
A unique mix of Gothic, Melodic Death Metal, Medieval and Epic stuff!
Crown Of Autumn rise again after more than a decade of enchanted sleep! Dreamy melodies, epic rides, warlike fury and of course those typical medieval inserts which made their debut a true underground cult are the keywords of this new full length album. It is a musical kaleidoscope of past and future enigmas, brought to your ears by a very compact and fresh sound that never betrays the roots of the band. A renewed line-up gives to these 11 songs the most intense expression ever, alternating various vocal styles such as dark whispers, powerful male singing, wrathful screams and delicate female vocals touches. A new milestone along the band’s artistic path.

Tenth full-length album by American Melodic Hard Rock band.
Crown Of Thorns had to wait a long time to unleash themselves on the unsuspecting public, but having finally done so, everyone agrees it was worth the wait. Formed at the dawn of the 90's Crown Of Thorns quickly became the subject of a fierce major label bidding war. Interscope emerged as the winner, reportedly paying them a cool million dollars for the honor! Crown Of Thorns debut album "21 Thorns" (1994) enlisted the help of Paul Stanley (Kiss), Jim Vallance (Bryan Adams/Aerosmith) and Beau Hill (Europe/Winger). "Faith" is an album that brings back the sound as defined in the debut album still keeping intact all the elements of infectious guitar riffs, soaring hook lines and great melodies. This time collaborated with Bob Clearmountain (Bryan Adams, Rolling Stones, Bon Jovi) in the recording sessions and the result is probably the best sounding Crown Of Thorns album ever!

The second full-length studio album by American Power/Thrash Metal band.
Formed in 2005 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania it took the band only a year to release the stunning debut “Reverence Dies Within”, that was recorded, produced, released and promoted completely by the musicians on their own. Filled with songs which are a great mix between Thrash and Power Metal the band did not only get great reviews, but also label-offers. As a result, Crown The Lost got signed to Cruz Del Sur-Music and the follow up was released in 2009. This one, “Blind Failth Loyalty”, got great reviews all over the world again, but due to line-up problems, the band didn't really get the chance to promote the album.
Melody and Thrash are two words that usually have no business being uttered together in the same breath. But Melodic Thrash Metal is indeed a fitting description for this Pittsburgh-based band. The "melody" can be specifically pinpointed to the band's singer, Chris Renaldi (whose Bruce Dickinson-like vocals prove that he must have studied his Iron Maiden records thoroughly), while the "Thrash" is provided by his riff-happy bandmates. And this is certainly showcased on such ditties as "Defame the Hypocrites" and the title track. Despite the fact that none of the bandmembers were born before the year "The Number Of The Beast" was released, Crown The Lost's style and approach certainly would have fit nicely in the Thrash and Heavy happy '80s!!

The third and the final full-length studio album by American Power/Thrash Metal band.
Originally available strictly on digital platforms in 2011, "Cold Pestilent Hope" finally getting the CD release. Crown The Lost hit the studio in the first half of 2010 and recorded “Cold Pestilent Hope”, their by far best album. Recorded at Soundscape Studios in the band’s hometown of Pittsburgh, PA with producer Dave Watson (Argus, Mantic Ritual, Hero Destroyed), "Cold Pestilent Hope" found Crown The Lost further exploiting its Melodic Thrash Metal template, and is the logical extension from the band’s sophomore "Blind Faith Loyalty" album. Songs like “Breathe into Emptiness”, “In Defiance of Sanctity” and “Forgotten and Damned” bear the mark of Mallah’s versatile clean vocals, meshing seamlessly with the band’s knifing rhythms and melodic leads.
Unfortunately, Crown The Lost disbanded after the recording and didn't manage to release the whole album through a label as a farewell to their fans until the end of April 2016, when “Cold Pestilent Hope” was released the first time on CD by German Ragnarök Records!
