МУЗИКА

The debut full-length studio album by Princess Stéphanie Marie Elisabeth of Monaco.
The album was released in September 1986, incorporating Dance-Pop, Synth-Pop, Dance and Pop music.  In some countries, it was released as "Live Your Life", or simply "Stephanie". All versions include the same 9 core tracks, but track sequence varies and different combinations of French/English versions are included. CD's also include remixes. Later CD re-releases were retitled ("L'Album D'Or", "Rendez-Vous", "Irresistible", "Ouragan", "Dance With Me") but include the same tracks as the original 1986 CD's.
"Besoin" reached number six at the French Albums Chart and the Swedish Albums Chart, number twelve at the German Albums Chart, and number 59 at the Austrian Albums Chart. It reportedly sold in approximately 1.5 million units, and achieved Gold status in France for over 100 000 units.
Despite the success of "Besoin", Stéphanie did not make a follow-up for five years until the release of the second album, "Stephanie", in 1991.

The second Single from the debut full-length studio album, "Besoin", by Princess Stéphanie Marie Elisabeth of Monaco.
After the success of her number one debut single "Ouragan" in the second quarter of 1986, Stéphanie decided to continue her musical career releasing an album, "Besoin", which met with success on the French Albums Chart, as it reached number six and was certified Gold. She then followed up "Ouragan" with a second Single, "Flash" (or "One Love To Give" - depends on version), which was eagerly awaiting by the public, who wanted to see whether the princess would be able to duplicate her first success.
The Single was released in both, French ("Flash") and English ("One Love To Give") versions. This release includes both versions, and "Le Sega Mauricien" song on the B-side. The "One Love To Give" song is a Remix Version on this release.
The Single was a top five hit in several European countries. "Flash" was certified Silver by the Syndicat National de l'Édition Phonographique for at least 250,000 units. The English version, "One Love To Give", had a great success in Sweden, where it debuted at number nine in the late December 1986 and topped the chart for one month. It was also a top three hit in Finland, and peaked at number ten in Germany.

The debut Single by Princess of Monaco.
Princess Stéphanie Marie Elisabeth of Monaco (born 1 February 1965) is the youngest child of Rainier III, Prince of Monaco, and American actress Grace Kelly. She is the younger sister of Albert II, Prince of Monaco, and Caroline, Princess of Hanover. Currently 14th in the line of succession to the Monégasque throne, she has been a singer, swimwear designer and fashion model.
It’s the first Single from her debut album, “Besoin”. The Single was released in both, French ("Ouragan") and English ("Irresistible") versions. This release includes both versions, as well as a 'multi-mix' version, which combines two songs.
"Ouragan" achieved its biggest success in France, where it debuted at number 17 on the chart edition of 5 April 1986 and rocketed up the chart, reached the top position on 26 April, stayed there for ten consecutive weeks, and eventually charted for a total of 29 weeks. The same year, it was certified Platinum Single by the Syndicat National de l'Édition Phonographique, for at least one million sales. "Ouragan" thus became the first Single to remain at the top of the French Singles Chart for at least ten weeks, beating the previous record hold by Peter and Sloane with "Besoin de rien, envie de toi" in 1985. It was the second best-selling Single in 1986, behind "Les Démons de minuit", by Images. "Ouragan" also peaked at number eleven in Switzerland.
In non-French-speaking countries, the song charted in its English version, titled "Irresistible". It was a hit in West Germany, where it debuted at number 46 on 14 April 1986, jumped to number eight the next week, reached number two for two weeks and counted 18 weeks on the chart. In addition, it peaked at number two in Spain, was a top five hit in Austria, but stalled at number 84 in the UK.
On the overall Eurochart Hot 100, it debuted at number 95, then jumped to number 11 and reached number two after 13 weeks on the chart, being blocked from the number one slot by Madonna's "Live to Tell", and remained on the chart for 29 weeks, 17 of them in top ten. Much played on radios, it reached number three for a consecutive three weeks on the European Airplay Top 50, spending eight weeks in the top ten out of a 15-week chart run.

The fifth full-length studio album by cult British Heavy Metal band.
After a twenty-nine year hiatus, Steve Grimmett’s Grim Reaper is back with release! Known as Grim Reaper at their first decade (1979 - 1989), band split up in 1989. Vocalist Steve Grimmett resurrected the name in 2006, as Steve Grimmett's Grim Reaper, with the members of his solo band, Steve Grimmett.
Containing twelve songs, "Walking In The Shadows" has a familiar, yet creative, catchy riffage with the semi typical sounding lyrics and vocals of a style that influenced others to come after Grim Reaper. This in mind, there is definitely a ’80s vibe to the music, even though it is 2016, and this does not prove to be a negative trait. Furthermore, for a band with such a dark name, the music does not quite reflect that as much as the lyrics do, but that is all part of the fun.
Fans of Steve Grimmett’s Grim Reaper and followers of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal scene are sure to take away a nostalgic and joyous feeling after subjecting themselves to the highs and lows on "Walking In The Shadows". It is an album full of that classic and slightly Power Metal riff-heavy sound that is an integral part of the making of New Wave of British Heavy Metal
Steve Grimmett’s Grim Reaper remain a stalwart pillar of playing to the roots of their craft and loving every minute they are allowed to do what they do best: Rock the Hell out! Still as fun and exciting as they have always been, with a more modern and mature feel, that is sure to attract a new legion of fans for Steve Grimmets’s Grim Reaper.
This is an adrenaline fuelled slab of wax – Heavy Metal maniacs would not be disappointed!!

The sixth full-length album by the legendary American guitarist-virtuoso.
After the disastrous full-band Heavy Metal project of Sex & Religion, Steve Vai returned to recording solo with "Alien Love Secrets". It's a moodier, more atmospheric collection than his masterpiece, "Passion And Warfare", which makes it slightly revelatory. With the new sonic textures, the guitarist again demonstrates his fluid technique, which manages to never become completely mechanical. Considered by musician as EP, really this if full-length album.
Steve Vai: "The recording and release of "Alien Love Secrets" marked another turning point in my personal evolution. I felt independent again and immensely happy. I was more concerned with making the record that I wanted to make, and not worry about what some others thought I should be doing. It also marked the beginning of the professional relationship with my current manager, Ruta Sepetys. She is everything that you would never expect in the typical music biz manager. She is honest, driven, sincere, shrewd and compassionate all rolled into a powerful yet unassuming beautiful blond-haired frame".
Overall, this was a very interesting album for Steve Vai. Some tracks ("Bad Horsie", "Ya-Yo Gakk") are really out there in terms of the guitar effects and other... effects, while another is normal ("Die to Live"). Still another is in the Metal genre ("Kill the Guy with the Ball") while the other two are great ballads ("The Boy from Seattle", "Tender Surrender"). It just goes to show you how versatile and creative this man is. There's something for everyone on the CD!!
The album reached No. 125 on the U.S. Billboard 200 and remained on that chart for two weeks, as well as reaching No. 72 on the Dutch albums chart.

The fourth full-length studio album by German Brutal Death Metal/Deathcore band.
During their fifteen years of existing, Stillbirth has created a unique style that gives them a distinct sound. Listening to the album "Global Error" for the first time, you'll immediately thought of a Cephalic Carnage band. The reason of the association is not related with the similarity of these bands: contrary, the music of Stillbirth is quite individual. The analogy can be traced only in terms of the presence of a variety of musical experiments.
What connects all the tracks of the album: the presence of Technical Death, growling, pigging and menacing vocals, also the adding of Slamming, Brutal, slowly shakes - in the style of Devourment. Of course, it should be noted German style - there are some influences of other German bands. The sound and mixing are on the height, everything is done competently and skillfully.
Experiments of these guys lead to unexpected results. For example, recitation, like a Rap (in the spirit of "Fred Durst" of Limp Bizkit) at the end of the track "Open Up This Fucking Pit" is listened naturally and does not spoil the song, but only adds to it originality. 
The musicians do not skimp on the original guitar riffs, the album is not boring, and it holds throughout the entire listening, it catches. Twelve songs full of brutal, heavy riffs, extreme blasts and breaks awaits you! Brilliant sound and a 12 pages booklet featuring the artwork of Mottla is the result!!

Debut full-length album by Canadian Heavy Metal band.
It's amazing when local underground bands creating and writing new original material and not just slogging it out on the local bar scene doing covers. To create an independent debut album takes time, hard-work and commitment, characteristics that are sometimes hard to come by, let alone trying to pay for the thing. It’s guys like Stinger that keep the scene going.
Take a heavy dose of Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, mix it with the vocals of Chuck Billy during "Practice What You Preach", inject it with a Heavy 90s atmosphere, throw in a bit of Thrash, and shove some classic solos up its ass. And what you get is Stinger’s debut masterpiece, "Manic Depressor"!
The well-produced, eleven cuts span just under an hour of good time head-banging fun. Musically, Stinger spans a number of sounds with ease and proficiency. It’s not just a retro sound but the tone is a bit more modern at times. All those dissimilar styles blend nicely into something quite unique. There are a few slower moments, like the middle section of "Harmantra" that bleeds into some excellent soloing. Literally every single track is a magnificent example of excellent songwriting, tight musicianship and fantastic awesomeness.
This is a confident, mature debut album that will turn a few heads.  This is really masterpiece! If you’re a fan of good music, you won’t regret it!!

The second full-length studio album by Swedish Melodic Heavy Metal band.
Formed by longtime members of the Swedish underground metal scene, Stonelake presents melodic Metal, which has a distinctly melancholy edge underneath its catchy, accessible surface.
All songs contain a good dose of synths; even on the faster-paced, aggressive numbers such as "Body Talk" and "Rest My Eyes on You". The band goes all 80's on "Magic Signs" in the vein of Dokken, but the staccato riffery and drumming belies the comparison towards the middle. There are also ballads on the album: "Words Are Not Enough" and "One Love One Heart" are both punctuated by cool guitar arpeggios, soaring vocals, and ever-present synth layering.
Stonelake's main duo comprises of Jan Akesson and Peter Grundstrom. They've known each other for many years, and this is obvious while listening to the album, since there's profound chemistry between them two. This Swedish band has already released one album in prior, "Reincarnation".
Enlisting the services of Jaime Salazar on drums, "World Entry" sees the quartet flirting on-the-edge with melodic Hard Rock the Scandinavian way. Pompous keyboards, high-pitched vocals from Grundstrom and furious guitar themes by Akesson leave the band on top of trying to perform something more than just Hard 'n' Heavy music. As if TNT, Journey, heavy Boston, 80's Deep Purple and Jacob's Dream would jam on a beautiful spring day. The album features various tempos and, of course, includes a very good ballad called "Words Are Not Enough". On the other hand, tracks like "Magic Signs" will nail you down at first hearing. The solo work provided by Akesson is quite notable, while Grundstrom uses his voice with much of experience; exchanging fury and passion anyway he wants it. To hell and back again: the use of 'personality' keys in this album gradually rises to be the strong ace of "World Entry". Some will surely see enough of a Dream Theater influence in the keys' arrangement, and there seems to be a very good reason for this.
"World Entry" is not a typical album, genre-free. It bears the unique charisma of, gradually, winning over your ears. Stonelake seems to be a rather hard working band in terms of composing/recording. And the question is: do you want to get away with this fact? Even Euro Power Metal fans will like this album!

Debut full-length album by Belarusian Melodic Death Metal band.
Aggression and speed, furious blast beats and a barrage of guitars parties harmoniously combine with atmospheric keyboards parties and piercing guitar’ solos together constitute an original sampler of Melodic Death Metal.
Most important feature of this album is speed. Music that can be heard in one breath. No compromise, no newfangled core influences in Stormhold’ music you wouldn’t hear.
Album’ theme is based on philosophical reflections about various aspects of the modern world, its dark side, the role and purpose of man in this world. Listening to songs from the album everyone will find his lost world.
If you are impressed by the creations of such bands as: In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, Arch Enemy, At The Gates, Amon Amarth, Hypocrisy, Quo Vadis, Soilwork, Scar Symmetry so acquaintance with the work of Stormhold wouldn’t not leave you indifferent!

Official release of the third full-length studio album by the German Power/Speed Metal band.
Shortly before the curtain fell on 2014, Germany’s Stormhunter self-released their third album, "An Eye For An I". Going through whole album, you really receive a true message of what Heavy Metal is, defined melodies combined with perfectly good vibrato. Entire album is a dance, a beautiful Waltz of two Metal genres, in which they float on the riffs and surf the majestic wave of New Wave British Heavy Metal sound. It’s fast, it’s melodic, it’s anthemic and catchy, it’s heavy and guitar-centric, and it’s Teutonic as all hell. The 12 tracks (spanning 48 minutes) are high-energy, with stout singalong choruses, buzzsaw riffs and ever-present melodies.
Singer Frank Urschler is a bit of an acquired taste. His vocals are slightly gruff and definitely limited in range. Still, he does the most he can with what he has, and has improved markedly over previous Stormhunter releases. And to his credit, Urschler is very distinctive, so you’ll know right away what band you’re listening to. Really, it’s a shame that "An Eye For An I" hasn’t made more of a ripple in Underground Metal circles.
This album should fit nicely into your music collection alongside the likes of Lonewolf, Elvenstorm, Paragon, Wizard, Stormwarrior, Blazon Stone and so on. It’s a high-quality release of pure, unabashed German Heavy Metal excellence from the heart, and it deserves to be heard!!

The first re-release of the the second full-length studio album by German Power/Speed Metal band.
80s oriented German Melodic Speed/Power Metal has never really left the premises. When Running Wild said their last goodbyes in 2010, Stormhunter were as if they were brought down from the skies as the new Running Wild. "Crime And Punishment", originally released via the French label Emanes Metal Records, is a gift for 80s Power Metal sympathizers and core fans alike.  Besides being utterly close to Running Wild as far as their music goes, there is that clinging to the true German melodic Power Metal heritage of bands as Helloween and Gamma Ray among others.

First official release of the debut full-length studio album by German Power/Speed Metal band.
Originally, “Stormhunter” was self-released by the band in 2009 on CD. Stormhunter is the result of the collaboration of members from various other Heavy/Power/Speed Metal bands, like Steel Tormentor, Dark Assault and Bitterness. Having already released a demo in 2001 and having suffered a typhoon of lineup changes, seems to be currently reactivated in order to record a 36-minute piece of fast German Metal owing a lot to early Running Wild, Helloween, Grave Digger, Sacred Steel, Custard, Metal Inquisitor and Stormwarrior.
The riffs are sometimes fast and take no prisoners, while at other parts they are more Guardian-filtered. There are also enough Maiden-isque leads feeding the Metal fire, and the rhythm section is ample and pounding to the bone.
The performance of the band on this album is very good and well-organized. Manifests of Metal faith are in the menu all the time, and you’ll have a nice time listening to the “Stormhunter”!
