Debut full-length album by Italian Power/Thrash Metal band.
An excellent mix of German-American Power Metal, NWOBHM and Thrash Metal.
A dense network of sync guitars, a rhythm section out for ductility and strength, the predatory voice of Stefano Castagna and, above all , the ability to amplify the sound through massive doses of an almost esoteric pathos in his sulphurous breath make songs harmonic brilliance.
If we reconstruct the history of this disc, basically this is the demo 2008 remastered and with the re-recorded vocals.

The debut full-length album by Danish Thrash Metal band.
Battery making waves since their 2012 "Mental Pollution" EP. The band was formed in 2008 by drummer Andreas Joen and vocalist/guitarist Chris Steel after their previous outfit, Abattoir, disbanded. Since then they’ve released a trio of demos, the aforementioned EP, and now this, their first full-length album featuring ten solid Thrash metal tunes.
This is very much American-styled Thrash with a slight Crossover tinge, mainly in the manic vocal preaching of Steel who has a strained yet effective style. Musically it’s solid, often beefy and well-produced Thrash Metal with the usual influences ranging from San Francisco Bay Area crunch, a sprig of Slayer, Dark Angel et al and even the more Deathly influence of Possessed – again in Steel’s vocals.
While this 11-track opus rattles by, there are nonetheless some catchy numbers which stick in the head, the best examples being the paced ‘Pyramids Of Decept’, with its strong, yet smooth bass-lines, and the simmering menace of ‘Vermin Of Fukushima’, which begins as a Slayer-like dirge.
Far from being the world’s most groundbreaking thrash album however, "Armed With Rage" is still a furious cauldron stirred by those frenzied guitars and rumbling drums which Joen can be commended for.
Whether this platter has enough legs to carry it beyond the hordes of other Thrash bands piling onto the horizon we’ll just have to wait and see, but "Armed With Rage" boasts some very good numbers which should provide 40 minutes of assault and battery to the senses!!

European re-release of the debut full-length album by American Black Metal band.
An opus of cold, bleak atmospheres and intense glorification of darkness. This is a decent modern Black Metal album that really reminds of "In the Nightside Eclipse" to an extent, which isn’t a bad thing as it was arguably Emperor’s crowning achievement. This Tolkien-inspired horde blaze through frozen cosmic landscapes."Eternal Throne" is a lengthy album, which is really only broken up by the few minutes of ambience. The ambience isn’t even really scattered, the album opens and closes with an ambient track that appears to have been composed by the same person (Vinterriket) who mastered the album. This is an album that was done well and in a truer Black Metal form. Raw sweeping monuments to the black towers and the haunting presence of the ancient fallen warspirits. Enter the realm of cold misanthropic majesty!!

The second full-length studio album by Polish Black Metal band.
In the same time known as the first album of Bartłomiej's Batushka, "Hospodi" enhances all the unique qualities that made the band such an instant phenomenon, while offering an entirely distinct and fresh sensory experience.
The album boasts the most ferocious and bewitching songs the band has penned to date. Fiercely conceived and audaciously executed, "Hospodi" takes the epoch-shattering essence of Batushka’s debut to a new level of idiosyncratic intensity. From the mesmerizing chants of the opening “Wozglas” to the blazing bombast of “Dziewiatyj Czas” and the pulsing, dark rock melodrama of “Wieczernia”, this is an album full of wildly dynamic, divergent moments, wherein the band’s otherworldly, inspirational fervour meets the whip-crack precision of 21st century brutality.
Perhaps most importantly, Batushka’s deft conjuring of religion’s synaptic shock ‘n’ awe looms large over every scything riff and bellicose scream. By the time fans reach the overpowering climax of the closing "Liturgiya", a true Damascene conversion is practically guaranteed!

Deluxe Edition re-release of the second full-length studio album by legendary Polish Black Metal band.
One of the most controversial and diverse albums in the band's career, the album is intriguing for several reasons: it not only featured keyboards and female vocals (by Celina, the ex-girlfriend of Nergal), but showed Behemoth's uniqueness from the start, with their novel combination of Black, Viking and Thrash Metal. It was originally released in January 1996 through Solistitium Records, and later by Pagan Records. The album is Behemoth's last release before their shift into a Death Metal sound. Finally released domestically in the USA, "Grom" is also the only album in Behemoth's catalogue with completely Polish lyrics.
Although Poland’s evil sons have since grown beyond the stringent confines of Black Metal, "Grom" remains a pinnacle moment in Behemoth’s evolution!
180-gram Double Black Vinyl in Gatefold Cover with embossed gold print includes 24-page booklet with lyrics, interviews, vintage photos, as well as Download Card. Bonus disc contains 8 rarities (cover versions, rehearsals and live tracks).

First re-release of the fifth full-length studio album by legendary American Rock/Pop singer.
After four solo albums of polished Pop sounds, and looks, Belinda Carlisle decided to strip down her sound to showcase some raw music and Rock out a little. Quite a daring move, but it also shows a maturing artist who is comfortable in her own skin. The album has a genre of mainly Pop songs and suffers from a lack of memorable songs and while the record sounded good, it had nothing to support the state-of-the-art production. It was also a departure from her previous solo albums, having more in common with Carlisle's the Go-Go's sound rather than her own, typical, solo Pop themes. Dealing with what Carlisle termed the "dark side of relationships", the album is mature and intentionally lacks the slick production of her other solo albums. Carlisle won over many critics who had previously reviewed her for her sensed lack of progression and willingness to take a chance with some edgier material.
This is probably Belinda's most comfortable yet loudest album yet. She would follow 'Real' with the slick and more successful Adult Contemporary "A Woman and a Man" which is closer to her original sound, but "Real" would stand firm as a memorable highlight in the singer's career where she chooses to experiment with her image and sound.
"Real" debuted on the UK Albums Chart at number nine on October 18, 1993, becoming Carlisle's fifth consecutive top-10 album there. In Sweden, the album became her fifth top-30 album, peaking at number 23. Australia was the last place the album charted, where it charted at number 61.
"Big Scary Animal" Single reached number 12 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Carlisle's seventh top-20 Single, and a top 60 hit in Australia. This is also the most successful song co-written by Belinda Carlisle. "Lay Down Your Arms" was released as the second Single and failed to gain much success, peaking at number 27 in the UK.

The eighth full-length studio album by legendary American Rock/Pop singer.
The first studio album in ten years, since the release of "Voila" (2007), a collection of Chansons performed by Carlisle in French. Unlike her previous releases, which have largely been characterized as Pop music, it consists of a series of Sikh chants performed by Carlisle in Gurmukhi and is inspired by her practice of Kundalini yoga.
In the first decade of her post-Go-Go's solo career, Belinda Carlisle delivered six albums as a mainstream Pop artist, notching hits with songs like "Mad About You" and "Heaven Is a Place on Earth". Following 1996's "A Woman and a Man", Carlisle largely abandoned her solo pursuits, participating in a handful of Go-Go's reunions and battling a drug addiction that lasted until 2005. Newfound sobriety and the influence of living in France yielded 2007's "Voila", an unexpectedly high-quality collection of French Pop songs and classic Chansons, which she sang entirely in French.
With another decade in the books, the California native returns with yet another personal passion project in 2017's "Wilder Shores". Like "Voila", "Wilder Shores" eschews any attempt at mainstream Pop, nor does it offer more than a handful of English-language tracks. A long-time devotee of the practice of Kundalini Yoga, Carlisle and her producer/collaborator Gabe Lopez have set to music a collection of Buddhist chants and mantras, the bulk of which are sung in the ancient Gurmukhi language. Though Pop-oriented in structure, the mostly acoustic arrangements are adorned with Eastern instrumentation like tabla, harmonium, and sitar, and Carlisle's increasingly smoky voice handles the tricky chants surprisingly well. Although it suffers somewhat from the inherent blandness that often comes with this type of New Age Fusion, the album's tone is generally uplifting and the acoustic piano rendition of "Heaven Is a Place on Earth" that closes out the collection slots in well with the overall vibe and intention.
Carlisle commented on her inspiration behind making the album, specifically her practising of Kundalini yoga: "I have been practising Kundalini Yoga for over twenty-five years and in the last twelve years I have built up a serious practice routine and begun studying the mantras that are used in classes much more closely. I’ve always wanted to do an album like this, but I never felt I was ready until early in 2015. It’s not just music on this album, it’s a science that requires an element in the voice called the Naad. Naad is almost a transference of energy through the voice, and it wasn’t easy for me to learn. That being said, I am a Pop singer, so I could never be a traditional chant or Kirtan artist as it would not be true to who I am. "Wilder Shores" is therefore still a Pop album with the same structure of verse, bridge and chorus as my previous records, but it is done with repetitive chanting". 
Wilder Shores is a genre-busting album of eastern and western influences, fusing the worlds of energizing Pop music and elevating Kundalini mantras. The powerhouse voice of Pop superstar Belinda Carlisle soars over these chant tracks with precision and grace. "Wilder Shores" is deeply authentic to the genre of Kirtan, but deftly translated into an ultra-current sound that makes these mantras sound like chart-toppers. The power of the mantras themselves to bring peace, balance and strength to the heart is supported by powerful English tracks, including a new acoustic version of Carlisle's international hit "Heaven is a Place on Earth" that fans will not want to miss. "Wilder Shores" is filled with music equally at home, in yoga studios and rock stadiums, leading the wave of spirituality in the music mainstream! indulgence, give Carlisle credit for once again challenging herself as a singer and artist!

European re-release of the third full-length album by Argentinean Melodic Symphonic Power Metal band.
The previous Infinity albums featured guests like Tarja Turunen (ex-Nightwish), Candice Night (Blackmore's Night) and Fabio Lione (Rhapsody Of Fire) among others on the first, Antti Railio (Celesty), Aldo Lonobile (Secret Sphere) Sonia Pineault (Forgotten Tales) and more on the second. Now Beto Vazquez is back, featuring a guest list that isn't less impressive than on the previous CDs: Olaf Thorson (Vision Divine), Sandra Schleret (Elis), Marcela Bovio (Stream Of Passion), Eddy Antonini and Kiara (Skylark), Manda Ophuis and H. J. (Nemesea), Pablo G. Soler and a few more should be enough to whet the interest of most Melodic Metal lovers. 
The music style should be fairly obvious. This is of course female-fronted Symphonic Power Metal, reminiscent of a mix of a lot of bands already mentioned in this review. Most of the songs are very mellow and the album has a lot of ballads, still the CD as a whole is very multi-layered.
Production-wise this release is superb. At exactly the right times it feels slightly unpolished and on the parts where it should be, it's as clean as the glasses in every washing powder commercial.
In regards to the list of guest musicians mr. Vazquez could have done something better. It's also unfortunate that a couple of the guests sound very similar, the same thing is true for the three not-guest vocalists the band has. Also some more really powerful songs wouldn't have done the album any bad.
Still "Darkmind" is a very good album. It might not sink in on the very first listen, but after a few spins, especially in quiet and peaceful moments, fans of Melodic Metal should be able to greatly appreciate it!

Second full-length album by the Italian Progressive Power Metal band.
Unlike most power metal bands, Betoken is metal that you can relax to. The vocals aren't soaring or extremely flamboyant, but instead they are laid back yet perky and stressed in time, alternating between male and female vocals while the dual guitars work impeccably in time to create crushing rhythms and flowing harmonies. The bass is deep and full, complimenting moderately technical drumming within the swirling aura of sound.

The seventh full-length album by American Heavy Metal band.
Veterans of Chicago’s Rock n’ Roll, Bible Of The Devil had released their seventh full-length and third for Rome based label Cruz Del Sur Music.
Entitled “For The Love Of Thugs And Fools”, Bible Of The Devil’s eagerly anticipated follow-up to their 2008 release,"Freedom Metal”, is an assembly of raging Rock n’ Roll songs that encapsulate the band’s saga musically and personally over the years since the last full-length.
Returning to Phantom Manor studios in Chicago, the band sought to emphasize their trademark bludgeoning two-guitar attack and mammoth hooks with an increased attention to soaring, anthemic vocals.
These guys embody the spirit of early Hard Rock/Proto Metal, specifically Thin Lizzy with a pinch of early NWOBHM. They can shred dual-guitar harmonies and sing about Rock n’ Roll without a shred of irony, though they’re obviously having fun doing it. “For The Love Of Thugs And Fools” is viewed by the band as a document of the many characters they have encountered through the life of the band, whether it be in love, loss, friendship, or hatred. Guitar harmonies casually weave in and out of songs, and gigantic choruses are delivered like a karaoke night that got way out of hand.
This album could’ve been released in 1979 and no one would f*****g blink, except maybe a few tracks that could’ve come out in 1983. You will be singing these songs in your car while fist-pounding the steering wheel. You will find yourself air-guitaring them at inappropriate moments in your life, such as your aunt’s funeral. You will have the chorus to “I Know What Is Right (In The Night)” stuck in your head when you go to take a leak. These songs are packed with enough catchy hooks and riffs to overcome the weak production and questionable singing, so if you enjoy old-school Rock music of high quality, this band and this album might be the thing for you!

The first compilation album by American Glam Metal band.
Big Bang Babies was a Sleaze Glam Metal band from Hollywood, California, playing during the 1990s. Their sound incorporated Rock, bubblegum Pop and Glam, with a Punky attitude.
The band was originally made up of singer Kit Ashley, guitarist Keri Kelli, bassist Tweety Boyd, and drummer Freddie Ferrin. Freddie Ferrin was replaced by drummer Keith Morgan (aka Keith Alan).
All five members later went on to play in other bands, most notably Keri Kelli, who has played with Alice Cooper, Ratt, Skid Row, Warrant, Poison, and Slash's Snakepit, among others.
This compilation has been re-mixed by Mike Slamer (Steelhouse Lane, Streets, City Boy) and you can find 11 lovely Power Pop/Glam Rock anthems with influences from bands such as Cheap Trick, Poison, Enuff Z´Nuff, PBF, etc. + you´ll get a fun version of the old x-mas smasher: “Winter Wonderland”. Fans of Pretty Boy Floyd might also recognize the song "Everybody Needs A Hero" as they later re-recorded the smash hit, here you can find the original version and it´s a great Glam rocker with a catchy chorus.
This is what music are all about... great fun and a lotta catchy hooks!
A must have for fans of sugar sweet 80´s Glam Rock!!
