15th Anniversary Special Edition re-release of the debut full-length studio album by legendary Danish Hard Rock/Groove/Heavy Metal band.
"The Strength / The Sound / The Songs" is probably best described as a compilation album of all of Volbeat’s previous demos, strung together to produce their first official debut album. Does this affect the quality of the music and bring this debut to the level of a weak band? F*****ng no!!! This is a strong debut and a great way to introduce a collection of impressive tracks that never made a decent release in Europe or the States.
Released in 2005, the album initially failed to chart. However, in July 2006 the album entered the Danish Charts, peaking at number 18. And it would stay on that chart for 21 non-consecutive weeks. 
The only official single released from the album was the band's cover of Dusty Springfield's "I Only Wanna Be With You", which was released in 2006. The band also filmed a music video for the Single.
Volbeat's label, Mascot Records, had a limited distribution in the United States, meaning that the album went largely unnoticed in that country. Volbeat would not break through in the United States until 2010 with their fourth album, "Beyond Hell / Above Heaven".
Volbeat’s style is a perfect balance of heaviness and acoustic melody, intertwined with heavy, Thrashy riffs and 1950s Bebop. While Volbeat perfected some of these styles and riffs on succeeding albums, the initial characteristics and attitude of what they would become drench this album. 
This is Volbeat’s most fun album due to its mishmash of great tunes that don’t follow a concept or order any further than the organization of the complete album. While the succeeding Volbeat albums are great for their concepts and structure, Volbeat’s debut is the best example of an all-out album with enough diversity, to give it completeness. Everything, from the catchy as all hell "Caroline Leaving" and "Say Your Number" to the ballsy "Rebel Monster" and "Pool of Booze, Booze, Booza" to the mellow (yet heavy) "Soulsweeper" and the Dusty Springfield cover of "I Only Wanna Be With You", gives the album diversity, groove, and melody.
So, if you’re in the mood for something not only Metal, but with the spirit and energy of something that is with the groove of 50s Rock-n-Roll, Elvis’s belting, and a heaviness to put most “heavy” Rock bands to shame; Volbeat is your ticket! While not as elaborate, diverse, and strong as some succeeding albums in Volbeat’s catalogue, "The Strength / The Sound / The Songs" symbolizes all that Volbeat stands for and what they achieved in 2005 and beyond: strength, sound, and songs!

The eighth full-length studio album by cult Swedish Death Metal band.
Compared to the older efforts by this band, "Opus Mortis VIII" shows a little less pure Death Metal style but, that does not mean that it is less anger and killer.
The production of the album is excellent. The very 'dark' guitars are heard during the whole album, and the work done just great. The solos are simply great as their musicality and skilful scales brings each song a great sound. The drums have a pretty good rhythm and clear sound, and the vocals are mixed above the music well. With respect to the voice of Erick, he does an exceptional job here, and gives to the album the "Death" voice style. Also, the music on this album has a good pattern and rhythm, making it nicely structured.
"Opus Mortis VIII" is a very good album and is recommended, especially if you are looking for a bit less impulsive and more old-fashioned Vomitory. But if you love Death Metal in general, this cannot be overlooked!

The fifth full-length studio album by cult Swedish Death Metal band.
We've been waiting for this release with great impatience, not only because their previous album, "Blood Rapture", was one of 2002's highlights, but also because they're one of the leviathans in the Brutal Death field, a band that made throughout its career numerous and steadily taken steps of progress. A band that must, at last, obtain the recognition it surely deserves, as with "Primal Massacre" they look straight in the eye the institutional names of the genre and equally claim their stay on the throne.
There's nothing less here for the listener to expect than songs, which prove the synthetic apogee of the band. Monstrous, inspired riffing, a vocalist who sounds more like a hungry zombie ready to tear your heart apart and in brevity everything here seems to be in place. From the totally infernal artwork to the very end of the album, you will discover a million reasons to worship "Primal Massacre".
Ten atrocious, aboriginal songs, 37 minutes of absolute chaos, paranoia, sickness, and perversion that will transcend you into the lungs of hell and bring you up against a primitive and evil force. Lock up your daughters and wives, this is an f***ing nightmare, an unholy gift from Vomitory that will awake your most primal (what a suitable album title…) instincts!
100% the finest Death Metal release of the year!!

The first re-release of the second full-length studio album by Swedish Death Metal band.
Approximate two years after “Raped In Their Own Blood”, Vomitory returned with a slightly changed line-up and a far better second album. It's their first and only album with Jussi Linna on vocals and the first with Erik Rundqvist on bass, who would later also become vocalist for the band.
Even though most of the typical Swedish trademarks did remain (especially in the guitar department), it seems that Vomitory had additionally listened to a lot of American Death Metal stuff as well while writing the eight songs for this album. Everything had just become so much more brutal!
The first Vomitory album to be released in the U.S., "Redemption" is an unrepentantly back-to-basics Death Metal album, pushed over the top by the band's undeniable musical chops (particularly the unbelievable drumming). There’s a big step forward in the production and the guys’ playing abilities have also become a lot better, which resulted in some really outstanding and totally crushing tracks. This is Death Metal in its purest form!!

The first re-release of the third full-length studio album by Swedish Death Metal band.
Though their sophomore effort, "Redemption", was a great album, it is "Revelation Nausea" where Sweden's paint-peeling fist of Death Metal dialled the aggression up a notch and sprayed their demon seed upon the womb of blasphemy.
Vomitory is adept at one thing: taking the brutality of roots Swedish Death Metal and cranking it to oblivion. "Revelation Nausea" is a near flawless eruption of energetic diabolism to send poseurs packing.
It's a top-notch Swedish Death Metal record which belongs in the company of its influences like Entombed and Dismember. If you're fond of the crushing, beautiful tone bands of this ilk and national alignment tend to create, this is essential!!

The sixth full-length studio album by cult Swedish Death Metal band.
In the beginning of 2006, songwriting commenced for the album "Terrorize Brutalize Sodomize". With a new guitarist on board, the ideas and inspiration started flowing and in December Vomitory entered Leon Music Studio in their hometown Karlstad, breaking up a long working relationship with Henrik Larsson on good terms, to try out something new, since the loss of guitarist Ulf and having Peter on board marked some kind of new start for Vomitory. The choice of working with producer/engineer Rikard Lfgren turned out to be a great one since "Terrorize Brutalize Sodomize" contains the best production they ever had and the songwriting displays the most brutal, the fastest as well as the slowest material you ever heard from Vomitory. 10 tracks of relentless Death Metal, the way only Vomitory can compose it!

Debut full-length album by German Gothic/Black Metal band.
The band is called by the name of Solarian von Branden who formed the band and is the lead vocalist. They play Gothic/Black Metal with Ambient, Classical and Jazz Influences. There is a lot of experimenting with different styles.
If you don’t like female vocals or if you don’t like Gothic Metal then you will only like 3 or maybe 4 songs of the album, but if you like complex compositions with a lot of change and a very deep emotional background then you should definitely have a look at Von Branden. To enjoy this record it is probably necessary to listen to it several times, to let it unfold its potential.
