МУЗИКА

Second full-length album by German Gothic Metal/Rock band.
Sometimes this band is credited to the Gothic, as is sometimes said, that they was able to create his own style - Emotional Metal... Be that as it may, with the release of the previous album was a little more than a year, and to light a new masterpiece called Cold. Dual vocals (male and female) with us again as a mysterious blue - this time, the cold... Female vocals - that's the first thing that is striking in a grid performance, but with repeated listening is impossible not to appreciate its superior rim of the different instruments, each of which sounds separately and at the same time in unison ... High-quality material composing, underlined excellent performance. Mixing tones - find a band for this album. It's time to discover the mysterious German Goths!!

The 12th full-length album by English Dark Wave/Gothic legend, considered by many Cure fans to be a return to the band's roots after the stylistic departure of “Wild Mood Swings”. “Bloodflowers” is the third and final album in Robert Smith's "trilogy" of the three albums he feels most express The Cure, the first being the 1982 album “Pornography”, and the second being the 1989 album “Disintegration”.
“Bloodflowers” was a moderate success, debuting at #16 on the US Billboard 200 albums chart, eventually selling 300,000 copies in America. It was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album in 2001.

Debut full-length album from Groove/Stoner Metal band from New Jersey, U.S.A.
This side project featuring members of OVERKILL, NON-FICTION and HADES!!
Great stoner rock that has been creating quite a buzz of late.
"Wij Leven Als God in Frankrijk" brings to mind vintage MOTORHEAD, while "Evil, in the Bag" wouldn't sound out of place on one of BLACK SABBATH's early '70s classic albums. "Room Full of Sinners" also benefits greatly from the sound of a band that hasn't been processed through ProTools - it sounds pretty darn close to standing in the middle of the group's rehearsal space while they let it rip.
As a result, THE CURSED has produced an album of lean and mean metal; a headbangers delight.
Line-up: Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth (vocals); Dan Lorenzo (guitars); Job The Raver (bass guitar); Mike Cristi (drums). Additional personnel: Scott Mueller (saxophone).

Debut full-length album by the German Death/Thrash Metal band.
An unmistakeable mixture of Thrash and Death Metal. There is an overweight of Thrash influences but the Death Metal gets a fair piece of the action as well. As in the heavy, double bass thundering passage with some really nice Death Metal riffs that occurs every now and then. The sound quality is good and also pretty loud, giving us forty minutes of Metal with an impact! people who like a mix of Thrash and Death Metal should take notice of this band!!

Second full-length album by Swedish MDM/Thrash Metal band with members of SOILWORK and DARKANE!!
Taking some time off from their main bands Soilwork and Darkane, the members of the Defaced blow a little steam with a bit of uncompromising, virulent death metal.
The quintet inserts numerous flashes of surprisingly textured guitar harmonies and clean-sung vocals into most every cut featured here. Is a solid enough effort that will interest, if not thrill, most fans of extreme metal. European release by Scarlet Records contains a hidden track of (02:22) in the pre gap before track 1, reachable by rewinding. Also recommended for fans of TESTAMENT , especially “Practice What You Preach” era.

​​​​​​​

The fourth full-length studio album by American Mathcore band.
The Dillinger Escape Plan's first release to feature Billy Rymer on drums, since Gil Sharone left the band in September 2008 due to the frequent touring schedule and to focus on his brother's band Stolen Babies.
After having fulfilled their contract with Relapse Records, the band released the album through Party Smasher Inc., their own new imprint in collaboration with French record label Season of Mist.
Former frontman Dimitri Minakakis (who also contributed artwork for 2004 album "Miss Machine") created the artwork for "Option Paralysis".
The Dillinger Escape Plan is a paradoxical phenomenon, fusing the Raw Punkish attitude of Hardcore with the Mathematical precision of Progressive Extreme Metal and the spontaneity of Free Jazz. Though their complex song structures are hardly a recipe for easy listening, in the thirteen years of their existence the New Jersey outfit has risen from being an Underground Thrash band to a genre defining staple in today's musical landscape.
Produced by long time collaborator Steve Evetts (The Cure, Sepultura), "Option Paralysis" features all their trademark furious breaks and asymmetric rhythmical patterns, but surprises us throughout with a tasteful yet haunting melody. Adding Greg Puciato's deeply emotional vocals to Ben Weinman's groundbreaking guitar work, the Americans emerge with a vision, which will take them to new dimensions. The Dillinger Escape Plan boldly went where no band dared to go before. "Option Paralysis" will be an inspiration for the next generation!
"Option Paralysis" debuted at number 78 on the Billboard 200 with 7 100 units sold.

The sixth full-length studio album by legendary American Psychedelic/Blues Rock band.
The last album to feature the band's lead singer, Jim Morrison, who died three months after the album's release. It was also recorded without record producer Paul A. Rothchild after he fell out with the group over the perceived lack of quality of their studio performances. Subsequently, the band co-produced the album with long-time sound engineer Bruce Botnick.
The album saw the band continue to integrate elements of Blues back into their music, a direction begun with their previous album, "Morrison Hotel". Actually, some of the straight Blues items sound kind of turgid, but that's more than made up for by several cuts that rate among their finest and most disturbing work. The seven-minute title track was a car-cruising classic that celebrated both the glamour and seediness of Los Angeles; the other long cut, the brooding, Jazzy "Riders on the Storm", was the band's at its most melodic and ominous. It and the far bouncier "Love Her Madly" were hit singles, and "The Changeling" and "L'America" count as some of their better, little-heeded album tracks. An uneven but worthy finale from the original quartet… Three months after release, on July 3, Morrison was found dead. 
"Love Her Madly" was released as a single in March 1971, preceding the album's release, and it reached the Top 20 in the Billboard Hot 100 for a stay of 11 weeks, but failed to chart in the UK. Upon release, the album peaked at number nine on the Billboard 200, remaining on the charts for 36 weeks, and reached number 28 in the UK, spending four weeks on the UK Albums Charts. An additional Single in support of the album, "Riders On The Storm", also achieved chart success on Billboard and in the UK. 
An additional Single, "Riders On The Storm", was released in June, and reached number 14 on the Billboard chart, while managing to peak at number 22 in the UK chart.
In 2003, "L.A. Woman" was ranked at 362 on Rolling Stone Magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. When the list was revised in 2012, to accommodate a number of albums released since 2003, the album was repositioned at number 364.

Remastered re-release of the fifth full-length studio album by legendary American Psychedelic/Blues Rock band.
Following the use of brass and string arrangements recommended by producer Paul A. Rothchild on their previous album, "The Soft Parade", the band returned to their original Blues Rock style and was largely seen as a return to form for the band.
The Doors entered Elektra Sound Recorders in Los Angeles in November 1969 to record the album which is divided into two separately titled sides: "Hard Rock Cafe" and "Morrison Hotel". The band included session bassists Lonnie Mack and Ray Neapolitan on the album's songs.
The album peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200, and performed better overseas than the preceding album. It was certified Gold by RIAA in February 1970. Additionally, it became the band's highest-charting studio album in the United Kingdom, where it peaked at No. 12.

Re-release of the second full-length studio album by legendary American Psychedelic Rock band.
Many of the songs on "Strange Days" had been written around the same time as the ones that appeared on "The Doors" (1967), and with hindsight one has the sense that the best of the batch had already been cherry-picked for the debut album. For that reason, the band's second effort isn't as consistently stunning as their debut, though overall it's a very successful continuation of the themes of their classic album. Besides the hit "Strange Days", highlights included the funky "Moonlight Drive", the eerie "You're Lost Little Girl", and the jerkily rhythmic "Love Me Two Times", which gave the band a small chart single. "My Eyes Have Seen You" and "I Can't See Your Face in My Mind" are minor but pleasing entries in the band's repertoire that share a subdued Eastern Psychedelic air. The 11-minute "When the Music's Over" would often be featured as a live showstopper, yet it also illustrated their tendency to occasionally slip into drawn-out bombast.
The album was a commercial success, reaching number 3 on the US Billboard 200 during a sixty-three-week chart stay in November 1967, and eventually earning RIAA Platinum certification. The album contains the Top 30 hit singles "People Are Strange" and "Love Me Two Times". In 2003, "Strange Days" was listed at No. 407 on Rolling Stone's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time". In 2007, Rolling Stone included it on their list "The 40 Essential Albums of 1967".

Remastered release of the second full-length studio album by legendary American Psychedelic Rock band.
A tremendous debut album and indeed one of the best first-time outings in Rock history, introducing the band's fusion of Rock, Blues, Classical, Jazz, and poetry with a knockout punch.
Recorded in 1966 at Sunset Sound Recorders, Hollywood, California, it was produced by Paul A. Rothchild and released on January 4, 1967. The album features their breakthrough single "Light My Fire" and the lengthy song "The End" with its Oedipal spoken word section.
The Doors was central to the progression of Psychedelic Rock, and has been critically acclaimed. 
The original album has sold 20,000,000 copies, and has been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Song "Light My Fire" was also inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. It has since been frequently ranked by critics as one of the greatest albums of all time; according to Acclaimed Music, it is the 27th most ranked record on all-time lists.
In 2000, “The Doors” was voted number 46 in Colin Larkin's "All Time Top 1000 Albums". It’s also ranked No. 75 on Q Magazine's "100 Greatest Albums Ever" and No. 226 in NME Magazine's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time".
In 2007, Rolling Stone put “The Doors” on their list of the 40 essential albums of 1967. In 2012, the album was ranked No. 42 in Rolling Stone Magazine's list of "500 Greatest Albums of all Time". In 2015, the Library of Congress selected "The Doors" for inclusion in the National Recording Registry based on its cultural, artistic or historical significance.

50th Anniversary Edition remastered re-release of the fourth full-length studio album by legendary American Psychedelic/Blues Rock band.
By mid-1968, The Doors had established themselves as one of the most popular bands in the US. The band's third studio album, "Waiting For The Sun", released in July of the same year, became The Doors' only number one hit on the Billboard 200 while also spawning "Hello, I Love You", their second number one Single. The album was the first commercial breakthrough for the band in the UK, reaching number 16 on the UK Albums Chart. After the release of "Waiting For The Sun", The Doors commanded substantial performance fees and played before large crowds in arenas such as the L.A. Forum, the Hollywood Bowl, and Madison Square Garden.
Most of the next album was recorded following a gruelling tour, during which the band was left with little time to compose new material. Record producer Paul A. Rothchild recommended a total departure from the Doors' first three albums: develop a fuller sound by incorporating brass and string arrangements provided by Paul Harris. Lead singer Jim Morrison, who was dealing with personal issues and focusing more on his poetry, was less involved in the songwriting process, allowing guitarist Robby Krieger to increase his own creative output. Upon release, "The Soft Parade" was denounced by both music critics and the band's Underground music scene followers, who viewed the album as The Doors' trending into Pop music. Over time, historians have reassessed the album and its critical standing has slightly improved, but it is still widely considered to be the group's weakest effort with Morrison.
Three preceding Singles, "Touch Me", "Wishful Sinful", and "Tell All the People", were included on "The Soft Parade", with the former becoming another Top 10 hit for The Doors. Another single, "Runnin' Blue", also followed the album's release.
The album peaked at number six on the Billboard 200, but it failed to retain audiences in the UK and other European countries that their previous album, "Waiting For The Sun", had succeeded in engaging.
