The seventh full-length studio album by legendary American Pop singer.
A stylistic and aesthetical departure from her previous work, "Ray Of Light" is an electronica and Techno-Pop record, which incorporates multiple genres, including Ambient, Trip Hop, Psychedelic and Middle Eastern music, while also seeing Madonna singing with greater breadth and a fuller tone. Mystical themes are also strongly present in both, the music and lyrics, as a result of Madonna embracing Kabbalah, her study of Hinduism and Buddhism, and her daily practice of Ashtanga yoga.
"Ray Of Light" has been called it Madonna's most adventurous record, and most mature and restrained album. It has been noted for its introspective, spiritual, and religious nature, with Madonna's vocals also being commended. Retrospectively, the album has continued receiving critical acclaim from contemporary critics and is often considered to be her best album. On top of this, the album is frequently cited by critics as one of the greatest mainstream Pop albums of all time. Music critics have noted the album's influence on popular music, and how it introduced Electronica into mainstream Pop culture in America. They also noted Madonna's musical re-invention, which helped the 39-year-old remain contemporary among the teen-marketed artists of the period.
"Ray Of Light" won four Grammy Awards from a total of six nominations. The album debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200, with the biggest first-week sales by a female artist at the time. It also peaked at number one in 17 countries, including Australia, Canada, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom, and charted within the top-five in most musical markets. It broke the record as Warner Music Group's album with most shipments before release at 2.5 million units worldwide (excluding the US figures), before being surpassed by Madonna's own next album, "Music". Ultimately, the album managed to sell 3 million copies in five days. Worldwide, "Ray Of Light" has sold over 16 million copies and is one of the best-selling albums by women.
On March 16, 2000, the album was certified four times Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipments of four million units of the album. Madonna became the first female artist to have seven multi-Platinum studio albums by RIAA. It was later certified seven-times Platinum by the Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA) for shipment of 700 000 copies.
"Ray Of Light" enjoyed commercial success in Latin America, being certified 3× Platinum in Argentina for 180 000 copies recognized by Cámara Argentina de Productores de Fonogramas y Videogramas (CAPIF) and Platinum in Brazil for shipments of over 250 000 units certified by Associação Brasileira dos Produtores de Discos (ABPD). In Mexico, initial shipments of the album were 30 000 units. The album also achieved commercial success in Oceania, debuting at number one on the albums chart in Australia and New Zealand. It was certified triple Platinum by Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) and Platinum by Recording Industry Association of New Zealand (RIANZ) for shipments of 210 000 and 15 000 copies respectively. In Asia, "Ray Of Light" topped the album charts of Israel and Singapore and sold one million units in the continent as of June 1999. It was also the best-selling album from Warner Music company in the Asia-Pacific region during the 1998.
Ray of Light achieved its biggest commercial reception in European countries, where it topped the European Top 100 Albums chart and was certified seven times Platinum by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) for sales of seven million copies, becoming the ninth best-selling albums in Europe for the 1998-2007 period. In the United Kingdom, "Ray Of Light" debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart with opening sales of nearly 139 000 copies and remained at the top spot for two weeks. It was certified six times Platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for shipment of 1.8 million copies. As of 2018, the album sold 1 730 000 units in the UK according to Official Charts Company. In France, "Ray Of Light" entered the albums chart at number two, staying there for seven weeks before descending the chart. It was certified three times Platinum by the Syndicat National de l'Édition Phonographique (SNEP) for shipments of 900 000 copies. In Germany, the album reached number one on the Media Control Charts and remained there for seven weeks. It remains Madonna's best-selling album in Germany, with three times Platinum certification from Bundesverband Musikindustrie (BVMI) for shipment of 1.5 million copies. "Ray Of Light" debuted at number one in Italy and sold 500 000 copies by July 1998, a sum that increased to 600 000 units as of 2000. In the rest of Europe, "Ray Of Light" topped the official charts of Belgium, Netherlands, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Norway, Spain and Switzerland.
"Ray Of Light" has been featured on numerous critics' lists of the greatest albums of all time. Rolling Stone Magazine placed the album at number 367 on the list of 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. In September 2020, an updated edition of the Rolling Stone list was published, showing the album rising 145 spots, to number 222.

The second full-length studio album by Mexican Death/Doom Metal band.
Majestic Downfall is a project, which recaptures the feeling of the 90’s European Doom Metal scene, and mixes it with some more modern Doom Metal and Depressive Black Metal overtones. The music is somber and melancholic in some moments, while in others it is simply apocalyptic and funereal. You can find here the right way to travel into a true, supreme and mournful Doom Metal world that doesn’t follow trends.
For real fans of early My Dying Bride, Saturnus, Celestial Season, early Katatonia and Forgotten Tomb!

The fifth full-length studio album by Mexican Death/Doom Metal band.
Without a doubt, the fifth album by Majestic Downfall is the strongest band's release to date. Sophisticated compositions, sound and concept: all these elements are perfectly combined to reflect the unique face of the band and their vision of the Doom/Death Metal style, which consists in a refined alloy of heaviness, atmosphere and melody.
The music of despair, the music of pain. Too personal and too emotional to live it through every time, and too beautiful to be able to reject every new listening!

The debut full-length studio album by Brazilian Stoner Metal band.
Following the classic genre rules, Mandibulla yet expand the style boundaries. This album is not a 70s Stoner/Doom one. It's a super heavy and very Metal Doom one, with deep roots on the Tommy Iommi school as well as the bands that kept the torch lit through the 90s and later unto these days.
A carefully crafted sound enriched by classical strings and piano pieces took the band to the leading position among young doom metal groups.
A magnificent debut, a strong album that goes back to the roots of the genre and reveals its new sides – this is what every Doom Metal fan is waiting for!

The fifth full-length studio album by legendary Swedish Black Metal band.
"Nightwing" did not offer something completely new, but its songs kept firing full blast and they did not lack of variety. Nobody could blame Marduk for delivering just more of the same.
It was recorded and mixed at The Abyss between October and November 1997.
The theme of the album was "Blood", as the band's following studio albums "Panzer Division Marduk" would be "War", and "La Grande Danse Macabre" would be "Death", forming a trilogy of "Blood, War and Death" - Marduk's vision of what Black Metal is.

The first re-release of the fourth full-length studio album by legendary American/Czech Death Metal band.
Since the dawn of human intellectualism, self-aware individuals have sought solitude. Paul Speckmann finds his own solidarity in expressing apathy towards society... Master is the most well-known project of bassist, vocalist, and songwriter Paul Speckmann. Prominent in the early Extreme Metal Underground as one of the first Death Metal bands, they are also one of the most influential artists alongside Death and Possessed. Master helped invent the genre of Grindcore as well, expanding on a heavy influence of Motörhead, Venom and Slayer.
Originally released by Pavement Music on April 7th 1998, "Faith Is In Season" marks the true return to brutality for the band. Thick bass reproduction stands out on this raw, muscular recording, as well as lyrical content that is full of visceral emotion and antisocial resistance. Similar to 1990s contemporaries like Vader or Obituary, Master solidified their craft with “Faith Is In Season” and has since strayed minimally.
This sixteen track beast clocks in at close to 54 minutes of pure terror, sheer madness and primal rage, and highly recommended for fans of Asphyx, Autopsy, Benediction, Bolt Thrower, Cancer, Entombed, Grave, Malevolent Creation, Mantas, Massacre, Morgoth, Obituary, Pestilence, Repulsion, Sinister, Napalm Death, Discharge, and Motörhead! A mandatory piece of Death Metal history!!

The first re-release of the fifth full-length studio album by legendary American/Czech Death Metal band.
Paul Speckmann played a key role in the Death Metal formative years, with bands like Terrorizer and Entombed acknowledging him and Master as a major influence. And both Master’s first effort and the one and only Deathstrike album could be considered classics even today, thanks to their intensity and to a simple but effective songwriting style.
Master have never played Death Metal in the pure sense of the term, rather a form of down tuned heavy Thrash, and this style is to be found again here. “Let’s Start A War” has turned out to be a solid and good-class disc containing guitar-heavy Death Metal that has a little more to offer besides aggressiveness. If you can’t imagine what that is, Master can best be described as a mixture between Crowbar and Bold Thrower. “Dictators” rekindle with the glorious Deathstrike days, while “Cast One Vote”, “American Freedom” and especially “Disturbed” clearly sound like classic Master tracks. Lyrically, Paul Speckmann continues with his anti-American crusade.
Legendary Old-school Death Metal veteran Paul Speckmann returns with the re-release of Master’s “Let’s Start A War”. This remastered re-release includes completely new artwork, first time used on first CD re-release from 2012.

The fifteenth full-length studio album by legendary American/Czech Death Metal band.
First new album in almost 8 years! When it says Master, you get Master!! And “Saints Dispelled” is 100% Master!!!
One of Death Metal’s founding bands, Master have been at the forefront of the style from the very beginning, being one of the first bands to ever adapt to this style back in the genre’s infancy. After forty years on from the start, Master, a.k.a. the Motörhead of Death Metal, give us another viscous Death Metal offering. They have mastered what it means to produce high octane, ear drum bursting, unrelenting Death Metal once again. With a discography one can not count on two hands, they have rarely skipped a beat in producing the fast-paced brutality we all so love and enjoy, and "Saints Dispelled" is no exception, maybe we would rate it among their better albums (time will tell).
This clearly is not the kind of album you can listen to while reading a nice book and drinking some warm tea. Between the pounding drums, merciless riffing, and, of course, Speckmann’s wonderfully hideous vocals, “Saints Dispelled” does nothing short of furiously, punishing your mind. Start to finish, the album consistently splits your spine and breaks your neck with the mightiness of Master's perfect idea of what Old-school Death Metal means!

Second official compilation album by the legendary American Thrash Metal band.
The title "Capitol Punishment" is a pun with "Capital Punishment" and it refers to the fact that there was an album left on the contract for Megadeth to release via Capitol before they can leave. So the label released this compilation. Hence this is the last release via Capitol. "Kill the King" and "Dread and the Fugitive Mind" were new recordings done for this release. With the exception of material from the band's debut album, "Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good!", which was released on Combat Records rather than Capitol, the compilation contains songs from all Megadeth's previously released albums at the time. In addition to the new track "Kill the King", Capitol insisted on the inclusion of "Dread and the Fugitive Mind", a track recorded for the "The World Needs A Hero" album, then in the production stage. The band agreed simply to release themselves from their obligations to Capitol, but the enmity between band and label was memorialized in the title of the album, intended to demonstrate that working with Capitol was a form of punishment :). At the end of the album, there is a hidden medley track, "Capitol Punishment", which is 4:46.
As of December 2005, Capitol Punishment had sold over 200,000 copies in the U.S.
This sure is a great CD and the world needs Megadeth back!!

Remastered re-release of the seventh full-length studio album by the legendary American Thrash Metal band.
With "Youthanasia", Dave Mustaine began moving Megadeth away from its Thrash roots, incorporating synthesizers into their sound and writing subtle, textured songs. The album features 12 tracks with accessible song structures, specifically aimed for radio airplay. The lyrics were also altered, in order to make the music more inclusive for wider audience. These changes were met with mixed opinions from music critics, who noted the band moving away from their Thrash Metal roots.
This is the last Megadeth studio album to feature drummer Nick Menza. It is also the first and so far only album where Vic Rattlehead does not appear at all in any tangible form, save for a limited edition collectible card advertising the Megadeth comic distributed by Chaos! Comics, which shows Vic in Hell reading a scroll.
The album debuted at #10 on Billboard Top 200 chart and was certified Platinum in 1998 by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipping one million copies in the United States. The first 500000 copies of "Cryptic Writings" in the U.S. were released with silver background album cover. Two years after its original release, the album sold 850000 copies in the United States and won widespread praise from Rock radio programmers. The song "Trust" was nominated for a "Best Metal Performance" at the 1998 Grammy Awards and became the band's highest charting song on the Billboard's Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks.

The seventh full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
With "Youthanasia", Dave Mustaine began moving Megadeth away from its Thrash roots, incorporating synthesizers into their sound and writing subtle, textured songs. The album features 12 tracks with accessible song structures, specifically aimed for radio airplay. The lyrics were also altered, in order to make the music more inclusive for wider audience. These changes were met with mixed opinions from music critics, who noted the band moving away from their Thrash Metal roots.
This is the last Megadeth studio album to feature drummer Nick Menza. It is also the first and so far only album where Vic Rattlehead does not appear at all in any tangible form, save for a limited edition collectible card advertising the Megadeth comic distributed by Chaos! Comics, which shows Vic in Hell reading a scroll.

The fifteenth full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
Produced by Mustaine and Chris Rakestraw, it was released on frontman and guitarist Dave Mustaine's Tradecraft label via Universal Music Group. Prior to “Dystopia”'s recording, longtime drummer Shawn Drover and guitarist Chris Broderick announced their departure from the band.
Musically, "Dystopia" is more energetic and focused than anything Megadeth have released in quite a while. Following the lukewarm response to the band's previous album, 2013's “Super Collider”, “Dystopia” received largely favorable reaction from critics, being considered a return to form for the band. The album debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 chart, making “Dystopia” the band's second highest charting album in the U.S. after “Countdown To Extinction”, which peaked at number two in 1992. Additionally, the title track earned the band its first Grammy win (for Best Metal Performance) at the 59th Grammy Awards after eleven unsuccessful nominations. The album sold 148 000 copies in the US by December 2016, becoming the second biggest-selling Heavy Metal album released in 2016.

The twelfth full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
The release of "Endgame" brings with it a startling realization - if first-generation Thrash Metal fans had been polled about which of the genre's "Big Four" (Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax and Megadeth) would prove to be the most resilient and consistently prolific over the next quarter-century, the only sure-fire consensus would probably have been: "well, anyone but Megadeth!". And yet, 12 studio albums and 150-plus songs later (more than any of the other three have managed) that's exactly what's come to pass.
It was the second Megadeth album released through Roadrunner Records. This album is the debut for new guitarist Chris Broderick (ex-Nevermore, Jag Panzer), following Glen Drover's departure in 2008 and the band's last studio album with bass guitarist James LoMenzo; original bassist Dave Ellefson would rejoin the band only several months after the album's release.
The album was the continuing of the success from the band's previous album "United Abominations". "Endgame" entered the Billboard 200 at number 9 (marking the band's tenth overall top 10 debut), and has sold around 150000 copies in the U.S. as of April 2011. "Head Crusher" had been nominated for "Best Metal Performance" at the 52nd annual Grammy Awards.
"Endgame" is arguably the least commercially concerned Megadeth album since "Rust In Peace" some 20 years earlier, and by touching on so many of the favoured songwriting styles of those early years, it should not only give their typically opinionated fan base very little to kvetch and moan about, but also throw new fuel upon the flames of Megadeth's unlikely longevity.
