The first full-length album of Ukrainian Groove Metal / Metalcore band.
Ten tracks bringing hurricane of guitar riffs, drum’s groove and vocal chanting. Starting with the first track you sink into the ocean of drive and powerful energy that does not let you go until the very end. Music that combines technically riffs and melodic solos;
bright vocals spilling over from the truly heavy and hard to subtle and exquisite. No intro, no breaks, just the music without restrictions.
The main lyrical themes are divided into two opposites - the destruction and creation. This line is permeated the entire album. Poetry itself is fascinating and at the same time frightening. There’re affected the sickest threads of society: self-destruction, war, collapses. However at the album was found a place for ballad that will not leave anyone indifferent.
All this creates a unique atmosphere in which everyone can find something of their own, immersing in the world of music created by MOROR band.

The second full-length studio album by Polish Avant-garde Post-Black Metal band.
Two years after highly acclaimed debut album "Piekło.Labirynty.Diabły", it's time for another doom of Morowe, and it's deathly air!
Second album entitled "S" is a much more mature creation, on every level - when it comes to production, atmosphere and arrangements. Morowe has always transfixed with specific mood, evident lyrics and Avant-garde sounds.
Morowe is a deadly breath of melancholy and chaos. Morowe is a devil’s breath on your neck. In case of contact with blood – it burns and infects, when reaches the heart – it kills. Feeling of coldness and shivering, of fever, sluggishness, pain and dizziness, insanity, shortness of breath, thirst... Here is Morowe. Rediscovered in the early twenty-first century somewhere in the basement of Upper Silesia.

The third full-length studio album by Dutch Death/Thrash Metal band.
Mortal Form are back with an album able to join Metal of the past with Metal of the future for a music able to represent a pure sonorous massacre across melody and aggressivity.
“The Reckoning” music is powerful, aggressive, epic and at the same time very melodic enriching the classic and traditional Death Metal with a personal and modern approach to the typical European sound enriching it with Thrash and classic Heavy Metal passages.
Blasting drumbeats, authentic guitars riffs and howling Death grunts and screams provide the elements of this Metal grenade.

The second full-length studio album by American Glam Metal band.
Mother Mercy has been around since about 1993. They have gone through a myriad of lineup changes, and for now, have cemented a crew for long enough to release this CD. Maybe that’s why they don’t always stay in the same genre, but in the end, it’s Metal, and it’s all good!
Mother Mercy wallows in that ‘80s Metal vibe while somehow throwing in a bit of Godsmack right at the end of the album.

The fourth re-release on vinyl of the twelfth full-length album, originally known as a “Bastards”, by the legendary British Hard Rock/Heavy Metal band.
The Motörhead album, featured here, originally entitled “Bastards”, was released in 1993. For fans who had been disappointed for earlier Motörhead releases, the album came as welcome return to the band’s roots in the loudest and hardest-driving kind of Rock’n’Roll.
Into the early 90’s, Motörhead’s influence had spread. Terms like “Speed Metal” were being used to describe not only Motörhead’s own style but also that of other bands playing in a similar vein. Thus “Bastards”, whose tracks are featured here, seemed too many to present to a return to hard-core form. By the time Motörhead began recording “Bastards”, the band was essentially a quartet, consisting in this case of Lemmy, Mikkey Dee, Phil Campbell and Michael Burston, who was known as Würzel. “Bastards” mixed band’s characteristically angry and intense Hard Rock – songs like “On Your Feet”, “Burner”, “Born To Rise Hell” and “Liar” – with powerful, more acoustic ballads like “Lost In The Ozone” and the thoughtful and painful child-abuse number “Don’t Let Daddy Kiss Me”. Many fans have ranked “Bastards” among the best of Motörhead’s many albums.
In the many years since “Bastards” was released, Lemmy has kept up his relentless approach to touring and recording with various iterations of Motörhead. The tracks offered here provide the fine example of the band’s staying power and commitment to its founding ethos!

The fifth full-length studio album by French Black/Doom Metal band.
Hailing from Paris area, these Blackened Doomsters deliver their music for all darkened hearts and fiends out there for years. There are six long songs on this beautiful opus, but they do not get boring at all. Music of Mourning Dawn can be described as Doom Metal with lots of Death and Black Metal influences. That means slower Doom somber guitar work, rolling drums, distorted bass and sorrow and melancholy underneath the brutality. Vocals vary between growling, screaming and sometimes clean vocals, depending on the atmosphere in the song structures. There are also some excursions into fast, almost blast beat, drums and pure Black/Death Metal parts of the songs. Lyrically they deal with personal inner battles, death, life and catharsis.
This is a superb record to gloom your day under a steel grey sky!

The third full-length studio album by Swedish Heavy/Stoner Metal band.
Mustasch is back on track with their fourth album (and the third full-length), after venturing out with a different producer for "Ratsafari" a couple of years back. "Powerhouse" is indeed just that, chock-full of fat riffs and great production values with a big, mammoth sound and the best set of Mustasch songs to date!
From the immense, chugging riff that opens this newbie with "Haunted By Myself", to the Sabbathy "Frosty White", to the catchy melodrama of "Dogwash", to the strong title track, to the most commercially-accessible, albeit Poppish and Rocking track "I'm Alright", Powerhouse is a keeper! There is very little in the way of mid-level chunks in the stew, as the slower and perhaps somewhat weaker numbers are strategically placed as not to affect the flow of things.
Anyone who likes big, fat, macho Rock with heavyweight riffs and upper echelon vibes, should check this out! Even if the band's vocalist sounds like a stunt double for Ian Astbury from The Cult, you can't go wrong with "Powerhouse". Excellent stuff!!
The album peaked at number 10 on the Swedish charts.

The third full-length studio album by Swedish Black Metal one-woman band.
Nachtlieder is a project that has managed to establish its own identity throughout the years. Dagny is the female mastermind behind everything, and the band’s name is German for “Songs of the Night”.
With “Lynx”, she manages to take things a step further than its predecessor. This album is connected both with more traditional material and some Atmospheric Post-Metal elements. The guitar riffs work as a foundation for the melody to take over the whole album, creating many textures as the vocals take a step back, while a kind of Ambience is present.
From start to finish, it’s a very well-balanced album, offering the listener diverse moments of both ferocity and isolating disengagement. The more furious tracks blend organically with the atmospheric ones, while the drums play a crucial role in the entire album’s leverage. The production value is clean, letting us enjoy every instrument and understand the interchanges between emotional extremes such as anger and sentiment.
Once again, Dagny solidifies the band’s identity and her distinct mark on the Black Metal world. She places another very strong piece on a very solid discography, proving that any future release by her name is worth it's time to listen.

First mini-album by Swedish Black Metal one-woman band.
Hailing from Gothenburg, Nachtlieder is the brainchild of Swedish musician Dagny Susanne. “Views From The North, Vol. 1” was recorded during 2018 and represents a collection of unreleased tracks from 2009 to 2018.
With a strong foundation of releases, a self-titled debut in 2013, a second album, “The Female Of The Species”, in 2015, and the third album, “Lynx”, in 2018, Nachtlieder is a prime example of a band that grew stronger with each successive release.
Compared to the savage, raging, and down-tuned soundwall of the latest album, “Lynx”, the new mini-album sounds calm and thoughtful. There is an exotic and perilous feeling to the riffing, which you will notice from the very first song "In Solitude", the same type of atmosphere returns with the other songs too. The tormented quality of the vocals, with gravelly growls, adds further raw feel to the whole atmosphere. The drums batter and race, the tension in the sound surges into a feverish frenzy, channelling sounds of madness.
At any rate, all the material on “Views From The North, Vol. 1” is expertly arranged and structured. It is an excellent album that lives up to Nachtlieder’s reputation and also the strength of Dagny Susanne as a sole mastermind behind everything.

The fifteenth full-length album by Hungarian Experimental Black/Doom Metal/Ambient one-man-band.
Nagaarum represents a one-man formation, the predecessor of which started its activity in 2008 under the Pigbaloon moniker. He considers the project as a playground for his musical experiments, which he established after having completed the first album with GuilThee.
As far as the music is concerned, in terms of style, his records span from Ambient to Post-Rock with Doom and Black Metal being the notable extremes. One criterion is that all music played on the album (instruments, vocals, mixing, and mastering), all lyrics, and graphic design has to be authentic and unique.
Nagaarum’s use of analogue synthesizers over digital or even emulated analogue are part of what makes these ambient sections so appealing. The variety of floating textures achieved add to the music without distracting, and also mix in some 70s flavour to create a nice juxtaposition to the more modern styles.
"Apples" runs the span of 12 tracks, altogether adding up to almost 70 minutes. The composition on this record is great throughout. 
In all, this surely is an interesting album. Fans of Ambient Black Metal can easily trust this one to satisfy. Or even Doomsters will be happy with the synth passages. It's not a perfect Extreme Metal record, but it definitely is a unique and compelling addition to your collection. So check it out, you'd be pleasantly surprised more than a few times!

The seventeenth full-length album by Hungarian Experimental Black/Doom Metal/Ambient one-man-band.
Nagaarum returned with just the kind of Avant-garde brutality that you can expect from these Ambient mainstays. 
This is an album that really needs to be interpreted on a case by case basis. Fans of Avant-garde work by the likes of Lou Reed will be equally at home here, with fans of a more Atmospheric Black Metal. There is a lot of Noise, a lot of Ambience, and a lot of powerful and meaningful confusion. This is an album to be played at full volume to the sky in response to the happenings around us. Match this with heavy Black Post-Metal drone, and you have in “Covid Diaries” - a deeply atmospheric and disturbing album.

The twelfth full-length album by the legendary British Grindcore/Death Metal band.
When Napalm Death first hit the scene in the '80s, plenty of detractors must have thought that their brand of Extreme Metal was just a passing fad, and would soon go away. Now, 20 years later, guess who's having the last laugh (especially since the band has long been considered one of the first-ever Grindcore bands, and easily one of the most influential/copied Metal bands of the era)? And despite 2006's "Smear Campaign" being the band's umpteenth release, the band's assault-on-your-senses approach is still very much intact - particularly evident by singer Mark "Barney" Greenway, who still lives to scream his head off at every given opportunity (especially on such tracks as "Sink Fast, Let Go" and "Freedom Is the Wage of Sin"). Some artists enjoy reinventing themselves with each and every release. Not Napalm Death, which is reassuring in a way (you know exactly what lies therein with each successive brutal release) - and "Smear Campaign" certainly doesn't disappoint.
“Smear Campaign” shows Napalm Death from their probably most political side, attacking the re-born evangelic Christians in the US and all that falseness and fanaticism that comes with it. With “Smear Campaign” Napalm musically kept pretty much on track with “The Code is Red… Long Live the Code”, maybe a little bit more chunky Crust parts here, also production-wise this album is top notch and Grindcore hasn’t sounded better up until this stunning album. Just listen to “When All Is Said and Done” and you will immediately agree! The list of great albums Napalm Death created in their career so far is really impressive and hopefully will continue for many years to come. In my opinion they will always be leaders, not followers!!

And despite 2006's "Smear Campaign" being the band's umpteenth release, the band's assault-on-your-senses approach is still very much intact - particularly evident by singer Mark "Barney" Greenway, who still lives to scream his head off at every given opportunity (especially on such tracks as "Sink Fast, Let Go" and "Freedom Is the Wage of Sin"). Some artists enjoy reinventing themselves with each and every release. Not Napalm Death, which is reassuring in a way (you know exactly what lies therein with each successive brutal release) - and "Smear Campaign" certainly doesn't disappoint.
“Smear Campaign” shows Napalm Death from their probably most political side, attacking the re-born evangelic Christians in the US and all that falseness and fanaticism that comes with it. With “Smear Campaign” Napalm musically kept pretty much on track with “The Code is Red… Long Live the Code”, maybe a little bit more chunky Crust parts here, also production-wise this album is top notch and Grindcore hasn’t sounded better up until this stunning album. Just listen to “When All Is Said and Done” and you will immediately agree! The list of great albums Napalm Death created in their career so far is really impressive and hopefully will continue for many years to come. In my opinion they will always be leaders, not followers!!
Album features a guest appearance by Anneke van Giersbergen, ex-vocalist for the Dutch Rock band The Gathering.
