The debut full-length album by the Irish / Polish Death Metal band.
Legion Of Wolves delivers old school Death Metal with a modern touch. Following by their first two releases, the album contains 10 pounding and devastating tracks delivered with furious intent and spiteful melody in equal bloody measure. Combining the finest elements of old school Death Metal fused influence with a grandiose crushingly heavy production, this album more than delivers the goods. 
The theme of the album is war, violence and the nature of death peppered with lyrics dealing in mythology, misanthropy and war. 
From the opening track straight through to the last canon salvo, "Bringers Of The Dark Sleep" is characterized by extreme auditory aggression, making it a true epidemic of violence. This is the album for war, a soundtrack for Ares and a mandatory part of any true Death Metal fan's collection!
Recommended for fans of Bolt Thrower, Unleashed, Vomitory, Pestilence, At the Gates, Asphyx, and fans of true pounding Death Metal violence!!

The debut mini-album by Algerian Death Metal band.
"Al Intihar" offers music that switches between Aggressive and Doomy, Brutal and Progressive, Modern and Old-school. It is a bit of everything. There are hints towards Vader, the Danish band Koldborn or the Dutch Altar, and the strange instrumental keyboard track "Al Moutanabi" adds a surprising Symphonic touch to the release.
Classic Death Metal with powerful sound and full of sickness!
CD features video clip “Emperor”.

The second full-length studio album by Algerian Death Metal band.
Lelahell is the brainchild of Algerian Death Metal veteran Roudouane "Lelahel" Aouameur. Originally a one man army in 2010, releasing an EP written, performed and recorded entirely by Lelahel himself, Lelahell was joined by Slaveblaster on drums and Nehil on bass a year later – two solid musicians from the band Barbaros. Lelahell masterfully blends Thrash, Black and Technical Death Metal. Their first full-length album  earning associations with the bands like Nile and Vader.
"Alif" further solidifies the band's commitment to brutality and proves to be a veritable upgrade from the previous releases. It's an extremely solid and important album that signals a new era for the Algerian kings, one of raw brutality and progressive flair.
Each Lelahell release is conceptually linked to the character of Abderrahmane yet focusing on another evolutionary step—another chapter in his own book. The "Alif" focusing on Abderrahmane's first steps in his new life, just like a child learning to speak, walk, learning about the world around him. Yet this is full of foes and fears, that's why Abderrahmane needs to save himself from those dangers.
Mixed and mastered at the famous Hertz Recording Studio (Behemoth, Vader, Decapitated, Hate, etc.), the album features one of the most admired players in the world of Technical Death Metal - Hannes Grossmann (ex- Necrophagist, ex- Obscura, Alkaloid, Blotted Science, Hate Eternal) on drums. The 41-minute all out assault also features Tom Geldschlager (ex- Obscura), Yacine M. (Litham) and Patrick Mameli (Pestilence) on guest guitars and bass.

The second full-length studio album by Norwegian-Swiss Avant-garde/Progressive Rock/Metal band.
A charming duo formed by the visionary Tor-Helge Skei (Manes, Manii) and the hugely talented Anna Murphy (Cellar Darling, ex-Eluveitie), Lethe is a band that will change your way of thinking about music and how it should be made and listened to.
“The First Corpse On The Moon” is an astonishing and unique musical experience into the most Avantgardish Metal/Trip-Hop/Electro/Pop/Experimental Art.
Defined by many like a journey through the "back alleys of the human mind/psyche", they reach the apex with this new album that is more structured than the debut album, but surely brilliant, like only a moment of pure genius could be.
One of the most eclectic realities of the European Avant-garde Metal scene!
Close your eyes, open your mind, and let the music take you on a musical journey through different moods!!

The debut full-length studio album by Spanish Pagan/Folk Doom Metal band.
They music is based on a Doom Metal style, whose influences are taken from My Dying Bride and Shape Of Despair. Also, Llvme has a Black Metal touch, that remember us to the first albums of Negura Bunget, as well as a Folk influence, thanks to the use of violins and bagpipes, that evoke Celtic and Pagan passages. It’s like mixing My Dying Bride with Folkearth.
Fans of Paganic Dooom and Black Metal should get something out of!

Second full-length studio album by Russian Gothic Doom Metal band.
For their second album, Locus Titanic Funus left the themes of cold spring, childhood nostalgia and cemetary parties. Now it is rather everlasting autumn and inexplicable feeling of a loss. With coming to such subject as wildlife sanctuary extermination, they cause thoughts about the dirt of capitalism and corruption, defend humanity and teach to love the life.
The loud sounds cannot move, cold rythmes play a dance, keyboard scores scratch from the within. For recording this album was used vintage instruments, so bass guitar got a distinctive piggy tone and guitars become long and mellow.
The funny fact about this album: if exclude the pauses between tracks, its duration is 66 minutes and 66 seconds.
This music will please fans of Saturnus, Estatic Fear, Desire and Autumn Rain Melancholy.

The debut full-length studio album by French Progressive Metal/Metalcore band.
A fabulous interstellar trip through music mixing Metalcore, Djent and Prog Metal.
Almost everything is gathered here: technique, attack, dynamism and especially Groove. Ultra-powerful riffs, Progressive Metal flights - Lone Survivors offers ten particularly well-produced tracks whose complex structure is rich in various climates. Alternating guttural and clear vocals, the combo handles with ease the very percussive and dark atmospheres, with more Atmospheric passages and very worked guitar flights.
This Metallic interstellar journey proposed by Lone Survivors, if it remains very in-your-face, is very accessible. And the dexterity of the five musicians is for a lot. "Enigmatic Side Effects", "Lost In My Mind" or "Lucid Dream" offer very different faces, highlighted by the great technicality of the protagonists.
Featuring exceptionally talented musicians from a plethora of different musical backgrounds, the band was solidified by the addition of Matthieu Romarin (of Uneven Structure) on vocals. Lone Survivors took almost two years to find the singer who could carry their music, and the band couldn't dream of a better performer than the frontman of Uneven Structure to sublimate their compositions. At ease as a catfish in the dark water of Modern Metal, he illuminates the album with his charisma, his power, his sensitivity and his alternations of clear and saturated vocals mastered to perfection. 
The production is phenomenal, then it's Hyper-Technical but with a hell of a Groove and an inordinate power. The riffs are bloody and monstrous. The rhythmic sends bread in the face with clear voices and growls. As for the first album, the band presents a very accomplished and neat work.
Mixing Technicality with melody and Progression, "Ground Zero" album is an absolute thrill to listen to. It's highly recommended for fans of Meshuggah, Periphery, Tessaract, After The Burial and many more!

The debut full-length studio album by Brazilian Melodic Progressive Doom/Death Metal band.
What can a bunch of Brazilians that really like Death/Doom Metal in Opeth way? A lot!
It's impossible to examine the Loneshore sound without talking about Opeth, circa "Blackwater Park". Many melodies on the album reminds of the more accessible moments, like "The Drapery Falls" and "Bleak". This is not a carbon copy, though. The songwriting style is more Death/Doom Metal, being long, but without as many Progressive twists. Loneshore also plays quite rhythmical and aggressive at times, reminding of U.S. Death/Doom act Daylight Dies.
Vocally, it's a mix between competent growls and Opeth-inspired clean vocals. It's not extraordinary for the style, but the band certainly knows how to write songs. The highlight is probably the many emotional clean guitar sections. There is a lot of feeling in the playing, and the parts that have vocals over them match perfectly. These parts sound so beautiful that we can totally be willing to ignore how much they sound like Mikael Åkerfeldt.
Loneshore's Extreme Metal parts are also good, and the fact that they're willing to play fast at times adds some needed variation to their sound. Maybe the band's atmospheric side is stronger than the Metal side, but the band's appeal doesn't lie in one of them; it's the fact that they really know how to write good songs. The songs on the album have great flow and emotion, and they're fairly even in quality.
"From Presence To Silence" also has a solid mix; one of many things that doesn't make this album sound like the debut it is. You'll be really impressed by the overall professionality from such an unknown act. There's a notable attention to detail in everything from composition to playing and audio quality.
While Loneshore doesn't have the most original pool of influences, the band incorporates them well to create something different. This is one of the best Doom Metal albums from 2018, and the band probably has a bright future if they continue creating music like this. And..., a big extra plus for the amazing cover art!

The debut full-length studio album by Italian Heavy Metal band.
Originally formed in 1996 and takes their name from a Crimson Glory' s song, after a five year break while frontman Fabrizio Fulco was in Florida working as bass player with the Ben Jackson Group (Crimson Glory's guitarist solo project), Lost Reflection are back together and have just released their album "Florida"!
After his great experience with the Ben Jackson Group, Fabrizio gets back to Italy to dedicate himself to Lost Reflection again. And the new album has an 80's Sleaze Rock feel to it mixed with more modern influences, and is well worth checking out!
Highly recommended for fans of Ratt, Bon Jovi, Alice Cooper, and Crimson Glory!!

The first full-length studio album by Italian Symphonic Power Metal band.
What was not so long ago known as the bombastic Symphonic Power Metal figurehead - Rhapsody, then slowly became the not as good Rhapsody Of Fire (the name changed because of a now well-known copyright issue), and split in 2011 to become two distinct bands: Rhapsody Of Fire (Alex Staropoli, Fabio Lione), and Luca Turilli's Rhapsody.
Created by Luca Turilli after his departure from Rhapsody Of Fire, the album considered by band as their own "Rhapsody's 11th album". Turilli likes to label his music as "Cinematic Metal" - a Rhapsody's legacy since the band (allegedly) invented "Hollywood Metal" in the 90s. And "Ascending To Infinity" is precisely that: Cinematic Metal. It starts with an introductory track featuring Electronica, a badass voice-over telling you to sit back and prepare to be amazed (like in any self-(dis)respecting awful movie trailer), and a choir singing random Latin verses. Wow! The self-titled track "Ascending to Destiny", "Dark Fate of Atlantis" and "Excalibur" are here to testify that we are unmistakably dealing here with a true Rhapsody album!! Huge piles of cheese, frantic guitar and keyboards sections (even bass in "Dark Fate of Atlantis"), exhilarating rhythm changes, and of course choirs, choirs, choirs, and then some more choirs!!! Grandiloquence, grandiose, grand-everything!!!! Haters gonna hate, lovers gonna explode!!!!!
Not everything is the traditional material you can expect from this band however. "Dante's Inferno" and especially "Tormento E Passione", both deliver darker vibes we are not accustomed to hear in Rhapsody efforts. This track offers whirls of piano keys, a beautiful man-woman duet and an outstanding finale in which the excellent vocalist Alessandro Conti (Trick Or Treat) truly shows his mastery. He also shines in "Luna" (Alessandro Safina cover), an almost smooth Jazz song very enjoyable but which also feels a bit out of place in this album.
But fear not, for the Hollywoodesque and catchy “Clash of the Titans quickly” puts the album right back on track, and the 16-minute long ending track "Of Michael the Archangel and Lucifer's Fall" concludes the experience with an epic tale divided in three chapters. Haters hate, lovers go boom!
It seems the 2011 split-up was the brightest idea for Rhapsody. Although "Ascending To Infinity" still lacks a bit of the catchiness and frenzy fans of the band may rightfully expect, it remains a rock-solid effort with very good moments and purely stellar musicianship!! Pretty good job!!!
It is the only album to feature Alex Holzwarth on drums, as he subsequently decided to focus on his duties in Rhapsody Of Fire.

The ninth full-length studio album by legendary American Pop singer.
The album, produced by Madonna and Mirwais Ahmadzaï, features references to many parts of American culture. It is a concept album, with themes of the American Dream and materialism. These themes reject the reputation Madonna held in the 1980s, earned by songs such as her worldwide hit "Material Girl" (1985).
The album contains Folk and Folktronica music, as well as influences of acoustic music.
"American Life" initially received mixed reviews; critics found the record confusing and "about Madonna". Retrospective reviews have been much warmer, with critics noting the album's consistency as well as acknowledging Madonna taking a risk musically.
After its release, "American Life" debuted at number one on the United States Billboard 200 chart with 241,000 copies sold in its first week. The sales were less than Madonna's previous studio album, "Music", which debuted with 420,000 copies in 2000, but was the only one that week to sell over 200,000 copies. It was Madonna's second consecutive number one debut, and her fifth number one album overall in the US.
In Canada, the album debuted at the top of the Canadian Albums Chart with sales of 18,000 copies on May 10, 2003. According to Nielsen SoundScan, the sum was considerably less than her previous studio efforts, "Ray Of Light" (1998) and "Music" (2000), which debuted with 59,000 and 50,000 copies respectively.
In the United Kingdom, "American Life" debuted atop the UK Albums Chart, with sales of 65,013 copies, much less than the opening sum of 2000's "Music", which debuted with sales of 151,891 copies. It was present for a total of 19 weeks on the chart, ranking at number 52 on the UK year-end tally.
The album peaked at number one in fourteen countries. In European countries, the album topped the charts in Austria, Belgium (Flanders), Belgium (Wallonia), Denmark, France, Italy, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland.
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and British Phonographic Industry (BPI) both certified it Platinum in recognition of 1,000,000 shipments in the United States, and 300,000 shipments in the United Kingdom, respectively. It gained a Platinum certification one month later from the Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA), for shipment of 100,000 copies of the album. In Japan, the album peaked at number four on the Oricon Weekly Albums chart remaining there for 13 weeks, and went on to gain a Gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) that same year, for shipping 100,000 copies of the release. In Australia the album peaked at number three, before descending rapidly down the ARIA Albums Chart. Nevertheless, it gained a Platinum certification from the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) for shipping 70,000 copies. The album also gained Platinum certifications in countries such as France, Russia, and Switzerland, and Gold certifications in Brazil, Greece, and the Netherlands.
Overall, "American Life" became the 32nd best-selling album of 2003, with 5,000,000 copies sold worldwide. "American Life" garnered two nominations at the 46th Grammy Awards in 2004. However, it became the third lowest selling studio album by Madonna behind her 2012 release "MDNA" and her 2015 release "Rebel Heart", with sales of 680,000 copies as of October 2012, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
This double LP issued in a matte gatefold sleeve with generic die-cut inner sleeves with rounded corners. Although correctly spelled on the label, "Nothing Fails" is misspelled as "Nothing Falls" on the sleeve.

The third re-release of the fifth full-length studio album by legendary American Pop singer.
The first album of Madonna's career to bear Parental Advisory label, "Erotica" was banned in several Asian countries, such as China and Singapore. The album was released simultaneously with Madonna's first book publication "Sex", a coffee table book containing explicit photographs featuring the singer, and marked her first release under Maverick, her own multimedia entertainment company.
Ten years after signing her first recording contract with Sire Records, Madonna founded her own multimedia entertainment company, Maverick, consisting of a record company (Maverick Records), a film production company (Maverick Films), and associated music publishing, television broadcasting, book publishing and merchandising divisions. The deal was a joint venture with Time Warner and paid Madonna an advance of $60 million. It gave her 20% royalties from the music proceedings, one of the highest rates in the industry, equalled at that time only by Michael Jackson's royalty rate established a year earlier with Sony. She stated: "It started as a desire to have more control. There's a group of writers, photographers, directors and editors that I've met along the way in my career who I want to take with me everywhere I go. I want to incorporate them into my little factory of ideas. I also come in contact with a lot of young talent that I feel entrepreneurial about". The first two projects from the venture were her fifth studio album, "Erotica", and a coffee table book of photographs featuring Madonna, entitled "Sex".
"Erotica" is a concept album about sex and romance, incorporating her alter ego "Mistress Dita", inspired by actress Dita Parlo. Some of its songs also take on a more confessional tone, influenced by the loss of two of Madonna's close friends to AIDS.
Musically, the album mixes Dance, Electronica, Hip Hop, Deep House, Ambient Techno and R&B, and incorporates elements from classic Disco, modern House, Techno and New Jack Swing.
Commercially, the album was less successful than Madonna's previous albums, peaking at number 2 on the US Billboard 200, becoming her first studio album not to top the chart since her debut. Internationally, it topped the charts in Australia, Finland, and France, and peaked within the top five of several other countries such as Canada, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. 
Somewhat overlooked at the time of its release in part due to the backlash surrounding the "Sex" book, Erotica has been retrospectively considered one of "The 100 Best Albums of the 1990s" by Slant Magazine and one of the most revolutionary albums of all time by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Many critics have since noted the album's influence on the works by female artists such as Janet Jackson and Beyoncé.
In the United States, "Erotica" debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 on November 7, 1992, with first week sales of 167,000 copies. It was eventually certified Double Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipments of two million units. In Canada, the album debuted at number seven on the RPM Albums Chart on November 7, 1992. It reached a peak of number four on November 21, 1992. The album was present for a total of 38 weeks on the chart, and was certified two times Platinum by Music Canada (MC) for shipments of 200,000 copies.
"Erotica" performed well in Latin America, mainly in countries where she toured for the first time. In Argentina, the album received four-times Platinum from the Cámara Argentina de Productores de Fonogramas y Videograma (CAPIF) for shipments of 240,000 copies. Similarly, in Mexico, "Erotica" achieved sales of 250,000 units according to Billboard. The album received a Gold certification from Pro-Música Brasil, denoting shipments of 100,000 units. Actual sales in Brazil stand at 180,000 copies, as of October 1993.
Across Europe, "Erotica" sold 1.5 million copies in the first week and topped the European Top 100 Albums chart. In the United Kingdom, the album debuted at number two on the UK Albums Chart on October 24, 1992. It remained at its peak at number two for three weeks. The album was certified two times Platinum on June 1, 1993, by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for shipments of 600,000 copies. In France, the album debuted at number one on the French Albums Chart on October 28, 1992, staying there for two weeks, then descending the chart, selling a total of 250,000 copies by May 1993. In Germany, the album reached the top five on the Media Control Charts and was certified Gold for shipments of 250,000 copies. In Italy, "Erotica" sold 250,000 copies in its presales. In Sweden, the album debuted at its peak of number six and spent only seven weeks on the chart. Similarly, in Switzerland, "Erotica" peaked number five and was certified Gold by IFPI Switzerland. It also received a Platinum certification in Spain and sold 150,000 units there as of 1993. By November 1992, the album sold 350 copies in Iceland.
The album also attained success in Asia-Pacific countries. In Australia, "Erotica" entered the ARIA top 100 albums chart at number one, and was certified Triple Platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) for shipments of 210,000 copies. It also reached the top five on the New Zealand Albums Chart. "Erotica" reached a peak of number five on the Japan Oricon Albums Chart, and received a Double Platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) for shipping 400,000 copies. At the 7th annual Japan Gold Disc Awards, Madonna was awarded the RIAJ's Artist of the Year with sales totalling ¥844 million throughout the year, an equivalent of $6.5 million ($12.19 million in 2021 dollars). Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) also awarded "Erotica" as the "Top Selling English Album of 1993". Initial shipments in Singapore were 20,000 units, and quickly managed to sell 37,000 copies as of November 18 of that year. In total, "Erotica" has sold more than six million copies worldwide.

The eighth full-length studio album by legendary American Pop singer.
Following the success of her previous album "Ray Of Light" (1998), Madonna intended to embark on a tour. However, her record company encouraged her to return to the studio and record new music before going on the road. Her collaboration with producers Mirwais Ahmadzaï and William Orbit resulted a more experimental direction for the album. "Music" has an overall Dance-Pop and Electronica vibe, with influences from Rock, Country and Folk. Elaborating a Country theme for the album, Madonna reinvented her image as a cowgirl.
Filled with vocoders, stylish Neo-Electro beats, dalliances with Trip-Hop, and, occasionally, eerie synthesized atmospherics, "Music" blows by in a kaleidoscopic rush of color, technique, style, and substance. It has so many layers that it's easily as self-aware and earnest as "Ray Of Light", where Madonna's studiousness complemented a record heavy on spirituality and reflection. Here, she mines that territory occasionally, especially as the record winds toward its conclusion, but she applies her new tricks toward celebrations of music itself. That's not only true of the full-throttle dance numbers but also for ballads like "I Deserve It" and "Nobody's Perfect", where the sentiments are couched in Electronic effects and lolling, rolling beats. Ultimately, that results in the least introspective or revealing record Madonna has made since "Like A Prayer", yet that doesn't mean she doesn't invest herself in the record. Working with a stable of producers, she has created an album that is her most explicitly musical and restlessly creative since, "Like A Prayer". Whenever she works with Mirwais, Music truly comes alive with the spark and style.
The album was supported by the Drowned World Tour, which grossed over $75.000.000, making it the highest-grossing tour by a solo act of 2001 (the fourth overall).
Three singles were released from the album. Its lead single, "Music", topped the record charts in 25 countries worldwide and became Madonna's 12th number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100. It was followed with another Hot 100 top-five hit "Don't Tell Me" and "What It Feels Like for a Girl" which attained the top-ten position in several countries worldwide. "Impressive Instant" was released as promotional single, peaking at number one on the Hot Dance Club Play chart.
"Music" was generally acclaimed by most critics and earned Madonna five Grammy Award nominations, ultimately winning one for Best Recording Package. "Music" debuted at number-one in 23 countries. It was also a commercial success. The album set a record in Warner Music Group as the biggest album shipment in the company, with three million copies worldwide in the first week. 
In the United States, "Music" debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with first week sales of 420.000 units, making it Madonna's first album to top the chart in more than a decade since "Like A Prayer" (1989). In Canada, the album debuted at the top of the Canadian RPM Albums Chart and was certified Platinum by the Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA) for shipments of 300.000 copies. In 2003, Rolling Stone ranked it number 452 on the magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. On November 21, 2005, the album was certified three times Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for 3.000.000 units shipped in the United States. As of August 2010, "Music" has sold 2.925.000 copies there according to Nielsen SoundScan and has sold over 11.000.000 copies worldwide, becoming one of the best-selling albums during the 2000s century.
