The debut full-length album from Ukrainian Death Metal band.
Musically from the first track the listener grasps by brutal Death Metal tornado, which promises to keep it real hard tension throughout the album. Bright surround vocals, sharp as a razor guitar, virtuoso bass parts, high-speed but sustained drums - all of this is the debut album of band NAVALM.
Lyric of album - is first of all dipping into the whole history, in to a long psychological process of self-knowledge where the dirtiest, ingenious thoughts of our mind could not leave anyone indifferent, indifferent to the protest, aggression and fury against an unjust social structure of society, of the main character by the name Frank.
At the album "Recovery Of Sync" in addition to the main genre Death Metal you can also hear elements of such styles as: Punk Rock, Thrash Metal, Death'n'Roll and Grind Core.

The debut full-length studio album by Italian Black/Doom Metal band.
Formed in 2007, started as a Black Metal project, soon the band added different influences to its sound, merging some Doom patterns to its already decadent experimentalism. It took the project ten long years before a debut could be pressed.
“Da’at” one of the true gems the Italian Underground has generated in 2017. “Da’at” is absolutely one of a kind. An album able to re-interpret the output of seminal acts such as Dolorian into a more personal and obscure way.
Convey an imaginary ranging from silence to darkness, touching the concept of non-existence. A constant evolution made of inner research and experimental waves of sound!

Second re-release of the debut full-length studio album by cult Greek Black Metal band.
This is Necromantia's early work in an album that can only be described as a point of reference for the Greek Black Metal scene.
In the year of their lord, 1993, Necromantia hit the streets with their debut album. What was astonishing back then as it is now is the fact that they use 8-string bass instead of electric guitars, which makes their sound unique and immediately recognizable. Having said that, their sound is let down by production by means of timing and quality output leading to a mediocre result.
Necromantia's use of keyboards and spoken parts come to their rescue as they add to the atmosphere, making the production's defects non-important. Tracks like "Lord of the Abyss", "The Warlock" and "Last Song for Valderie" will make the hair on your backbone rise, even though at some parts this seems to take place in expense of technique and variety.
"Crossing The Fiery Path" is an album that is definitely worth your attention!
Complete new layout on high quality paper booklet in red jewel case, with original sound recording.

Second re-release of the third full-length studio album by cult Greek Black Metal band.
For some particular reason, "IV: Malice" finds Necromantia departing from their previous style and attempting to try to uniform it with the contemporary Black Metal style of many bands. Anyway, unique individual sound with the use of 4 and 8-string bass never gone!
Probably the best album of one of the most influential bands of the Greek Black Metal scene, "IV: Malice" is exactly pure wrath and hatred!!

Second re-release of the second full-length studio album by cult Greek Black Metal band.
"Crossing The Fiery Path" was listenable, but had just too weak of a signal to noise ratio to be essential. If you must only own one Necromantia album, this is definitely the one! "Scarlet Evil Witching Black" is a cult Black Metal album and it's reccomended for fans of Rotting Christ as well as fans of "To Mega Therion" and "Into The Pandemonium" albums of Celtic Frost!!

First time on cassette, the seventh full-length studio album by legendary German Thrash Metal band.
Old-school Thrash Metal with a modern production! Band got a hell of a lot more pedigree than a lot of people realize. After hitting the scene during the first wave of Teutonic Thrash Metal, alongside their more famous contemporaries Destruction and Kreator, these guys seemed to fade very quickly into near-total obscurity. It wasn’t for a lack of output, rather it was a lack of the luck. They’ve been nothing if not persistent though, because aside from a hiatus at the latter end of the 90s, Necronomicon have diligently plugged away at supplying a steady string of always respectable releases over the years. Amongst them, this 2012 effort ranks quite highly indeed.
What becomes quickly evident when listening to "Invictus" is how much more refined the new Necronomicon's approach is. This album certainly represents the zenith of the progression they have undergone over the years. Gone is the rough appeal, and in its place you'll find first-rate songwriting and a highly professional, up-to-date production style. What’s impressive is that in the process, they have managed to retain most of the manic energy that German Thrash Metal is so renowned for, even if it has become a little watered down by influences from the American Bay Area scene. The trade-off actually results in a much more interesting album. Stylistically speaking, this is straight-up Thrash Metal!!
"Invictus" is the album that manages to hold its own against some of the best Thrash Metal releases of the past years!!!

First re-release of the debut full-length album by the cult German Thrash Metal band.
Necronomicon is one of those German Thrash Metal bands that never got the attention they actually deserved. They always walked through the shadows of the three main bands of the German scene, which are Kreator, Destruction and Sodom - all three are Thrash Metal legends. They all had solid label backing, played nationwide tours and full-colour advertisements for their records were to be seen in all the Metal papers of the day. But what about Necronomicon? Necronomicon had had the same luck as the above mentioned three in signing a deal with one of the prominent German labels in the mid-‘80’s. But instead of securing a deal with Steamhammer (like Sodom and Destruction), Noise (Kreator) or even Roadrunner, Necronomicon ended up with... Wave Records. A very obscure label with a very obscure name. Wave Records was something like the distribution arm of Gama Records or at least that’s how they wanted to make it look like to the public. Gama always was a very dodgy label, ripping off bands left, right and centre and that was one of their ways to cheat people for their money. Signing to Gama was a very bad choice.
Necronomicon was loved internationally, especially in all Scandinavian countries, USA and South America. Back in the ‘80’s, fanzines were all over the place, and they wrote about the band on a regular basis. This was different in Germany, but it has only changed over the last couple of years – ironically.
In 1988, it seemed the end of the road for Necronomion had come (after only three albums). Band definitely needed to part ways with Gama. But Gama held the rights to all the songs, to band's name, to just about everything. Musicians were practically forced to do nothing at all or change their name (which band did not want to do). So, they had to sit through all this, doing nothing. For the band, there was only one question: are they gonna wait until eternity to put out another Necronomicon album or do they take the risk to get sued by Gama? At this point in time, band got the news that Gama was filing for bankruptcy. So, guys took the risk to record a new album... In 1994, the fourth longplay, “Screams”, was released on CD via D&S Records. Unfortunately, band's liaison with D&S was not very enduring either. It was a rocky way for Necronomicon up until the present day...
Luckily, the rights to the songs had reverted to the band. An odyssey of uncertainty and suffering has come to and end. The present for Necronomicon marks the deluxe re-release of their legendary debut, by many fans still regarded as one the greatest German Thrash Metal records in history.
This album is a fu***ng piece of violent and brutal German Thrash Metal, it has all what an adept of 80s European Thrash Metal want in an album. The first thing that catch our attention when listening the album is the unique sound quality, not quality-wise but rather in rawness, because the album has a somewhat "Punkish" sound on it, which is a pretty damn cool thing! The songwriting on the album is great, they had a lot of great ideas for sure. The musicianship on the album is far from top-notch, but it's still great enough to enjoy everything that is played, especially for a first effort. The mix on the album is pretty much what you would expect from a record with that production work. The main focus on the album is the guitars, because they are somewhat higher in the mix than the other instruments. But in general, the mix is pretty good. The guitar sound has sometimes been compared to that of the mighty (early) Celtic Frost. Volker also had that ultimate crunch in his guitar playing. The drums are well-performed, using basic Thrash technic. The vocals of Freddy are basically a worship of Schmier, they have a really similar tone (which is a good thing for Destruction's fans). Another interesting thing on the album is the kind of riffs we have. Yes, the type of riffs are similar to those of Destruction, but Necronomicon made great additions to it, by expanding even more what they did before. You will also hear the typical fancy guitar solos like in Destruction. The most popular song is indeed "Possessed by Evil", which is a unique original piece of the German Thrash scene and is mainly considered a classic.
Overall, this is not the catchiest album ever, but songs like "Blind Destruction" or "Iron Charm" has solid choruses, this is the kind of songs that will get stuck in your head for a bit of time. There's no bad tracks on this album at all, each track have their great moments and killer riffs! It's obviously recommend people to give the album a few listens. This is the kind of album that needs to grow in you before appreciating its evil art, but once you're into it, you will dig it and see its catchiness. If you're a 80s German Thrash Metal fan, especially fan of Destruction, then you need to look up to it!! This is an undeniable classic German Thrash Metal album!!!

The debut full-length studio album by Swedish Doom Metal band.
The Nex line-up features present and past members of Nominon, In Aeternum, Watain, Funeral Mist, Chaos Omen, and Bergraven.
The band makes its effort to pay tribute to some of the pioneers of the Doom/Death genre, such as Candlemass, My Dying Bride, Katatonia, and Anathema. Guitars are very My Dying Bride alike indeed, and vocals are truly dark, more desperate. Nex is good at creating a proper atmosphere.
Lyrics are loosely based upon works of Swedish poets, except for a Darkthrone cover "Over Fjell Og Gjennom Torner", which suits the entire album pretty well.
For fans of Candlemass, My Dying Bride, Katatonia, Autopsy, and Anathema!

The third European re-release of the sixth full-length studio album by legendary Finnish Symphonic Metal band.
It was released on 26 September 2007 by Spinefarm Records in Finland, 28 September by Nuclear Blast in Europe and 2 October 2007 by Roadrunner Records in the US. It is the first album without original vocalist Tarja Turunen, who was dismissed in 2005, as well as the first album involving future member Troy Donockley on uilleann pipes and tin whistle. It is the first of only two albums with vocalist Anette Olzon, who was eventually dismissed in 2012 after the release of the band's subsequent album, "Imaginaerum". Tuomas Holopainen has referred to this album as the "album that saved his life".
The song "Eva" was leaked on the Internet six days before its official release, prompting the band to release it earlier as a promotional Single, to boost downloads. Several other versions of the song were posted on YouTube and torrent sites a month later; the entire album with record label voice-overs had been leaked on the Internet by 2 August. The full album (without voice-overs) was leaked on 21 September, as a result of several stores in Mexico selling the retail album much prior to the worldwide release date.
On 22 September 2007, the band hosted a secret concert at Rock Café in Tallinn, Estonia, disguising itself as a Nightwish cover band called Nachtwasser. Their first official concert with the new singer was in Tel Aviv, Israel on 6 October 2007. The Dark Passion Play Tour thus started, visiting the United States, Canada, most of Europe, Asia, and Australia. In 2008, the band played over 100 shows, with dates in Oceania, Europe and Asia. In November, the band played in South America, and before this leg they took a three-month break; Nightwish began the third leg in 2009, with dates in North America and Europe, and also playing in several summer Metal festivals, including Graspop Metal Meeting and Masters of Rock. The last show was played in Helsinki, Finland, in front of 10,000 fans.
Pre-orders for "Dark Passion Play" had it certified Gold in Finland before it had even been released. The album debuted at number one in 6 European countries, selling over 100 000 copies in Finland (triple Platinum). In February 2008, the album was certified quadruple-Platinum in Finland, after having sold over 130 000 copies, and placing 26th on the list of best-selling Finnish albums ever released. Worldwide, it has sold over 700 000 copies by the end of 2007 and about 2 million copies to date. It has been certified as Platinum in Germany and Hungary, and Gold in Austria, Poland, Sweden and Switzerland; "Dark Passion Play" is also the most successful Nightwish album in UK and USA, with sales in the United States of over 134 000 copies.
The instrumental version of "Whoever Brings the Night" is used in the 2011 puzzle-platform game, "LittleBigPlanet 2". In November 2014, the NHL hockey team Minnesota Wild featured the album's first track "The Poet and the Pendulum" in their season trailer.

The fourth greatest hits compilation album by legendary Finnish Symphonic Metal band.
Nightwish are kings of Symphonic Prog Metal - epic, grandeur and melodic. They reached No. 1 in their homeland Finland with a ‘best of’ back in 2015, but they’ve also flung together a ballad-only collection, as well as some other more inconspicuous anthologies too.
"Decades" is a look back at their journey since their inception in 1996. Nightwish don’t look the same now as they did back then; original vocalist and band hallmark Tarja Turunen is solo after a messy split in 2005, while her replacement Anette Olzon only lasted five years. But what has remained steady throughout is keyboard wizard, songwriter and leader Tuomas Holopainen, whose affinity for cinematic orchestration gives Nightwish’s imposing sound its true vigor.
“Decades” contains remastered versions of the original material. Compilation was released on March 9, 2018, in the same day that they began touring for the Decades: World Tour.
The track listing is presented in reverse chronological order.
Vocals on CD 1: Floor Jansen (tracks 1 - 3), Anette Olzon (tracks 4 - 7), Tarja Turunen (tracks 8 - 9). Vocals on CD 2: Tarja Turunen.

Limited Edition release of the eighth full-length studio album by legendary Finnish Symphonic Metal band.
Unlike its predecessor, "Imaginaerum", which has themes of imagination and fantasy, "Endless Forms Most Beautiful" addresses science and reason. Focusing on the evolutionary theories of Charles Darwin and Richard Dawkins, the latter part of the album cites passages from their books. Both authors influenced album tracks; 'The Ancestor's Tale' inspired "Endless Forms Most Beautiful", and by 'The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution' inspired "The Greatest Show on Earth". Some songs, such as "Edema Ruh" (inspired by Patrick Rothfuss' novel 'The Name of the Wind'), still have fanciful themes.
The album is the band's first featuring singer Floor Jansen (After Forever, Revamp) who joined the group on the road in 2012 after the mid-tour departure of Anette Olzen. Also it's the first album with Troy Donockley as a full-time member. It was recorded without drummer Jukka Nevalainen, who took a break from the band due to severe insomnia. Drumming was by Kai Hahto (Wintersun, Swallow The Sun, Dreams Of Eternity). The album includes only five Nightwish members, despite its being their first album release as a sextet.
Nightwish has endured numerous lineup changes throughout its nearly 20-year career, but the band's sound has remained remarkably consistent, due in large part to the stabilizing presence of project founder and chief songwriter Tuomas Holopainen, whose overall vision for the band remains unchanged. 
"Endless Forms Most Beautiful" is probably the most accomplished Nightwish album so far. It's succeeds despite its strict adherence to the Nightwish formula. It's a well-oiled machine firing on all cylinders, both expansive and familiar, and it's arguably the band's most immediate-sounding record in years!
Limited Edition Digipak includes a 32-page booklet and bonus CD with instrumental version of the album.

Third re-release on CD 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 and vinyl 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!!
