Official re-release of the debut full-length album by American Avant-garde Thrash Metal band.
Project: Failing Flesh, a band that includes singer/bassist Eric Forrest (ex- Voivod and E-Force bassist/vocalist) and guitarist Tim Gutierrez (also with E-Force).
If one needs to pin this 40-minute CD down stylistically, perhaps it's best to describe the disc as Cyber Metal/Electro Metal by way of Thrash Metal with traces of Death Metal/Black Metal at times and a Hardcore/Metalcore vocal style. Forrest's screaming vocals suggest Hardcore and Metalcore, but "A Beautiful Sickness" doesn't sound like Hatebreed or Throwdown, and anyone who appreciates the Industrialized Cyber Metal of Ministry, White Zombie, Godflesh, or Powerman 5000 should have some appreciation of this CD's Metallic use of electronics (although Project: Failing Flesh has a lot more fast tempos than those bands).
"A Beautiful Sickness" isn't quite as consistent as it could have been, but overall, it's a memorable effort that paints an attractive picture of the risk-taking band! This is righteous stuff and highly recommended!!

The debut full-length album by Italian Grind'n'Roll band.
15 tracks of intense and frantic Grind'n'Roll! If Italian mafia had its roots in Metal music then Rabid Dogs' self-titled work would be its official soundtrack from the inside. "Rabid Dogs" is a good first official attempt in discography with quite good production and a noticeable cinematic vibe at times. Mixing Grindcore, Powerviolence, Punk and Rock'n'Roll with pulp themes, Rabid Dogs show us a nice final result. Everything is here: violence, groove, great riffs, a wide variety of vocals (pig squeals, choking screams, careless sing-along oi! shouts, Thrash-driven overloads of spitting words, etc.), pulsating bass lines, firing drumming and of course a massive core of expanding energy.
Call your cannibal-friends, empty the room from anything breakable, get a near liver failure experience, press the play button and Thrash'n'party until you can't party anymore!!

The first mini-album (third release) by Italian Grind’n’Roll band.
Rabid Dogs have always been overlooked. The thing about this band is that they’re mixing things up, spicing up the style of Grindcore with many elements. Musically, it’s comparable to Contrastic, Disharmonic Orchestra and Abortion – a mix of all of that actually. It’s refreshingly innovative, thick and heavy, and has that Grindcore spunk to keep the proceedings lively. 
The third record of Rabid Dogs includes five fast, adrenaline Grindcore songs plus intro. Band do their way, using their unique sound to somewhat revolutionize the genre or at least try and reinvent the wheel. The Grind’n’Roll element is not new – it was most remarkably was done by Mucupurulent but that band didn’t have the unpredictability of Rabid Dogs and their mood-inducing and mood-altering nature. Rabid Dogs keep it interesting without being repetitive.
There is something about this EP that makes you keep coming back to it for more. It’s thoroughly intriguing and addictive. Albums like these don’t come out very often and as should be the case always, originality should be supported in all forms. Fast & furious Grind'n'Roll with Hardcore and Stoner elements inspired by 70's pulp themes!

The debut full-length album by Ukrainian Melodic Death Metal band.
Melodic tunes of the guitars, attractive combination of scream and growl, driving skull-crushing rhythms of the drums, well combined melodics and hardness – that’s all Red Hills were able to unite at their debut full-length album.
Both problems of the whole society and problems facing a certain man are well narrated in the band’s lyrics. What will be our future in the days of moral chaos, lie and hate?
Donetsk’ metallers will dip you into a chain of driving musical events and make you think about the meaning of our life.
Album was recorded at TA Production and produced by Anton Vorozhtsov (Hell:On and Ungrace guitarist).

Rhino Bucket admits their greatest influence is the Hard Rock formula of AC/DC, yet as AC/DC finds complaints for being generic, Rhino Bucket pushes that genericness to another level. The power in Rhino Bucket comes from their ability to push dirty, grimy vocals over simplified riff work.
With "The Last Real Rock N’ Roll", they released their first album in 6 years. "We never did a ballad. Never will", states Rhino Bucket singer/rhythm guitarist Georg Dolivo. And the dozen songs on Rhino Bucket's aptly titled seventh studio album bear witness to his statement: the dirty dozen tunes on The Last Real Rock N' Roll are no-holdsbarred rockers boasting irresistible sing-along choruses, stellar solos, and gut-roiling rhythm section - if you don't stomp your feet to "Falling Down the Stairs" and bang your head to "The Devil You Know," check your pulse!
Rhino Bucket has lost none of the hunger, propulsion, beer drinkin' ' hell-raising that they began with in 1988, leading Jesse Fink, author of "The Youngs: The Brothers Who Built AC/DC", to boldly state: "More than any other band, Rhino Bucket has awakened the ghost of Bon Scott"!!
Highly recommended for fans of AC/DC and Guns N' Roses!!!

The third full-length studio album by Canadian Death/Thrash Metal band.
Riotor's third album is no other than a re-recorded version of their second album, "Rusted Throne", with a new vocalist Mikalcoholic and a new mastering.
Re-recording a whole album is a tricky move for every band. Whether it's one trying to prove they're still young (Diamond Head, Flotsam & Jetsam), one wanting to soften the distrust towards their new member (Exodus), or one who just can't sleep at night knowing that one detail on their album doesn't work (Meshuggah), one thing for sure is that the audience will rarely welcome them with open arms. Riotor fell somewhere between the latter two categories when, in 2017, amazingly decided to re-record their two-years-old LP "Rusted Throne" from 2015. Bassist Mikalcoholic stepped in behind the mic, so original screamer Ismarevil is, at last, comfortably resting his uvula...
Where does "Cursed Throne" differ? Besides the fact that the closer "Triumph of Sorrow" is absent for some reason, and this version includes a new mastering which emphasizes the old-school sound even more (absolute plus), the obvious difference is the voice, which is a more standard Black/Death-oriented rasp (think of a cross between names such as Okkulto and K.K. Warslut). So, it's depends on you which version you prefer to listen. Probably, for the start, better to check both...

Debut full-length album by Italian Thrash Metal band.
When you think of Italy you mainly think of Power Metal, but, fortunately, Italy isn’t only about that. Thrash has a big history upon Italian soil and Rising Dark are part of that! Fresh out the Thrash Master class, Italy’s Rising Dark are indeed a dark horse, where this band have been hiding?! This Thrash monster resides somewhere between some of Testament’s greatest output and modern day Onslaught!!
They were formed in 2005, initially covering Metallica songs (now why does that sounds so familiar?) and then begun to write their own material. In 2008 they released their first demo and afterwards did many gigs. “Apocalyptic” is their first full length release, which features seven songs.
The main characteristic of the album is the heavy sound, even in the parts where it isn’t fast. Although it is mainly Thrash Metal the album leans many times towards Power Metal and other times towards Crossover/Trash, with breakdowns and cutting edge riffs. After a nice atmospheric track there is “Armageddon” and here one gets a pretty good picture of what the band is playing: fast tempos, heavy riffs and some nice technical solos. “This is War” is a heavy track with groovy elements, up-tempo but not extremely fast. “The Bofoid” is the longest track, almost eight minutes, and this means room for diversity: many tempo changes, Thrash alternates with Hardcore, clean vocals with brutal and heavy riffs with technical solos (the band definitely has a thing for them). Next , there  the realm of Lovecraft, with the song “Yog Sothoth”, that kicks in slowly and atmospherically and continues with clean and brutal vocals (nice clean vocal melodies here). Towards the middle things heat up, but only for a while before the song resumes the initial rhythm. “Your Blood Is On My Hands” is the Thrash-iest song, with, heavy riffs and a fast tempo, almost throughout the album, and a nice guitar solo. The last song, “Phoenix” is a six and a half minute ballad that even it is nice it could have been shorter.
Although “Apocalyptic” doesn’t really offer something new to the Heavy Metal world, it is well played with a nice production and songs that will stick to mind. Rising Dark have all the means of greater releases in the future and you should keep an eye on them!!

Re-release of the debut full-length album by the cult Greek Melodic Black Metal band.
After recording a handful of demos and releasing 1991's "Passage To Arcturo" EP in their native Greece, Rotting Christ launched their international career with a promising first long-player "Thy Mighty Contract".
The album's production may have been somewhat subpar, and its songs slightly over-reliant on furious blastbeats, but none of this mattered a lick to hardcore Extreme Metal fans, which happily gorged on such tasty Black Metal entrails as "The Sign of Evil Existence" and "The Coronation of the Serpent". After all, even at the start of their storied career, Rotting Christ already showed a budding flair for melody on odes of sublime terror like "Transform All Suffering into Plagues", "Exiled Archangels" and "The Fourth Knight of Revelation". All told, these songs made a lasting first impression for Rotting Christ on the world stage, and the band would waste no time taking their dark, gloriously deviant art to dizzying new heights with their very next efforts.
While not being too brutal, it's still their fastest and most furious album to date. This album captures the energy of early Rotting Christ, while still showcasing enough melody and atmosphere to make it stand out as an excellent album. Each song is an enjoyment in itself, and the album as a whole is a wonderful experience! It certainly is a real gem!!
Originally released in late 1993 by Osmose Productions, the album was re-released by Century Black (Century Media) in 1997 with “Apokathelosis” EP as a bonus.

The debut full-length album by the Spanish Pagan/Folk/Viking Metal band.
The swords are painted in blood, the barrels are full of beer and the fellow Vikings are singing hymns to Thor!
Runic were formed in 2000 in order to produce something that can be described as Folk Death Metal. In 2001, they released a six-track Demo, "Awaiting The Sound Of The Unavoidable". Their hard work was rewarded with a contract with Massacre Records in October 2005. The result of this contract is "Liar Flags".
Even though Runic have absolutely nothing to do with the race of the mighty Vikings, they managed to release an album that kicks some major Scandinavian ass!!! Their composing skill is more than good, creating nine tracks of pure Pagan Death Metal. If you are a bit into Ensiferum or Finntroll then you know what it is. Everything has been played and structured so good that this record has been given the fresh air it needs. Even the keyboards are used smartly so as to add to the music. The keyboardist is really indispensable to Runic. He knows just where he has to play and exactly what he has to do. Some times making the climate more atmospheric and melancholic, other times starting an all out attack. These Spanish guys really know what a medieval battle looked like!
"Liar Flags" is the best soundtrack a battle could ever have! An aggressive breakthrough by Runic!! Many bands would really beg to release a debut like this one!!! It is a bomb that will explode and won't leave anything alive!!!! Be sure to stand somewhere near!!!!!
For fans of: Ensiferum, King of Asgard, Karlahan, Northland and more!

Remastered re-release of third full-length studio album by legendary German Heavy/Power/Speed Metal band.
“Under Jolly Roger” was the first album that initially started the age of piracy. This album marks a stylistic turning point in which the band dropped the Satanic imagery they had previously used and adopted the pirate theme they would become known for, creating and influencing a subgenre of Heavy Metal, later (in the 2000s) named a Pirate Metal. The album's title comes from the famous Jolly Roger, the flag used by pirates to identify their ships.
"Under Jolly Roger" is one of the more focused albums in the band's early career. Despite the major turnaround in the concept, the music remained at some point similar to what they wrote for the previous releases, but a bit more variety at the same time. The songs on this album are not complex at all, but quite enjoyable and heavy as hell, even though they lost some aggressiveness, that characterized their earliest years. "Under Jolly Roger" is a great record from start to finish. Solid songwriting and improved production work is precisely what makes this album a huge leap forward for the band. This is a fine transitional album that really displays the band's early brilliant attempt at delivering pirate themed Heavy Metal. Moreover, the incredible musicianship offered by the band remains as another reason to consider getting this album at all costs!
Deluxe Expanded Edition includes foldout booklet with Pirate Map and notes, and second disc with eight bonus tracks.

First re-release of the second full-length album (the first official) by the cult Israeli Death/Gothic/Doom Metal band.
Salem are pioneers of the oriental Metal movement and of the Israeli Heavy Metal scene. “Kaddish” is one of the first Israeli Rock albums to engage with recent Jewish history and the Holocaust. Most of the lyrics and music deal with political issues concerning the Jewish people and Israel with band's music being a combination of Doom/Death Metal with Oriental elements and high-pitched screaming-vocals. 
The band was formed in 1985 along with the newly born extreme Metal scene and soon released two demo tapes "Salem" (1986) and first full-length "Destruction Till Death" (1987). After five years of being Underground, the band released another demo, "Millions Slaughtered" (1990), with mostly live tracks. The demo sold 1,500 copies and led to a record deal with the German label Morbid Records. Their first studio records, mini-album "Creating Our Sins" (1992) and first official full-length "Kaddish" (1994), were released by Morbid Records and became the first Metal albums from Israel to gain worldwide success.
Mayhem`s founder Euronymous offered Salem relocation to Norway and joining their cult. Varg Vikernes (Burzum), who disliked the band ideals thought differently, sent to vocalist Zeev Tananboim an explosive envelope by mail...
"Kaddish" is a concept album about the Holocaust. Song "The Fading" was played on MTV's Headbanger's Balls rotation and had the band elected as one of the ten best up-and-coming bands in the world by MTV and Kerrang! Album also featured a cover song in Hebrew called "Ha'ayara Bo'eret" ("the small town is burning"). The song was originally a poem written in Yiddish by Polish-Jewish poet Mordechai Gebirtig in 1938, in response to the 1936's pogrom of Jews in the town of Przytyk near Radom, Poland.
Guns N’ Roses guitarist Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal was a special guest at Salems’s May 6, 2011 “Kaddish” re-release concert at Reading 3, Tel Aviv, Israel. Thal says: "Kaddish" is the most true-to-art Doom Metal album I’ve ever heard, completely capturing the horror of mankind’s utmost vulnerability to evil and self-destruction. Being someone who lost family to the Nazis in Poland, this album tore straight to my soul".

Salem vocalist Zeev Tananboim added: "Kaddish" is our desperate cry in memory of the horrors that happened to our families. The Holocaust followed me all my life as a dark shade which is so scary to look at. By doing this album we dared to look at the face of the horror and send two important messages: We will never forget, and we are here to survive".
Without a doubt band's best album!!
Remastered re-edition features altered track listing and modified album cover. CD’s cover art and design was handled by the band’s guitarist, Nir Gutraiman. The effort was remastered by UE Nastasi at Sterling Sound in New York City.
