МУЗИКА

Debut full-length album by Thrash/Heavy Metal band from Poland.
Modern, powerful, aggressive, but still melodic!
The album contains a nice mixture of fast guitar solo parts and melodic ones, which sometimes even remind of classical Heavy Metal. Otherwise the band is influenced by rather modern bands: Chain Reaction can be assigned to the New or Modern Thrash genre. They can be compared to bands like Machine Head or maybe Fear Factory. Singer Bartok prefers the metal- or hardcore vocal style: growls with still listenable dirty voice. But there's enough variety with high grind cries, spoken vocals or a melodic vocal part in "Stark Reality," which is accompanied by a clean guitar line.
While listening to the album it becomes clear that one deals with a really up-and-coming newcomer. Chain Reaction has got a quite unique style and "Vicious Circle" is an album which can not only convince fans of the Modern Thrash genre, but Metal fans in general!!

Second full-length studio album by Polish Groove/Death Metal band.
The second release is also a conceptual album, but unlike the debut, compositions do not form a chronological story, but are "novellas" connected by common ground.  Each track describes one of the characters - the titled "faces" are the ghosts of the past and memories, which are connected by the fact that they exerted a great influence on Chaos Engine Research members.
This time, the songs are more compact in their form, and the whole record is more aggressive and devoid of melodic vocal parts. This makes "Faces" a more "raw" album, veering towards Death Metal territory. It's still Groove Metal, but certainly more brutal and dark than the debut was.
Soundwise, it's definitely more of a guitar album. A lot of effort was put into the arrangement and preparation of vocal lines, so that the message is understandable for the listeners, even when the vocals operate in the registers of growl and scream.
“Faces” can be recommended for fans of Groove Metal bands such Pantera, Sepultura, Machine Head or Slipknot, but also Death Metal fans. In general, all fans of the heavier sounds should be satisfied.
“Faces” was recorded and mixed by Przemyslaw Wejmann in Perlazza Studio. The production is a cooperation of Przemek and the band. Mastering was done in Hertz Studio by Wojciech Wiesławski.

Debut full-length album by the Polish Groove/Thrash/Death/Progressive Metal band.
Powerfull riffs combined with two varying vocals and grooving rhythm section stand as the core of the band's sound. And as the music smoothly goes from brutal growls to nice clean singing, from heavy guitars and blasting rhythm section to gentle acoustic sounds. You also can hear some electronic, keyboards, scratches or even viola playing along.
This concept album will tell You a story - lyrics are in the form of drama, stylized for an antique tragedy. The intention of the album is to draw the listeners’ attention to the fact that despite conviction of “internal freedom”, we allow ourselves to be trapped in the media and political manipulation that inflicts its views and convictions, which have nothing in common with reality.
The sound of this record is a result of work of Przemyslaw 'Perla' Wejmann of Perlazza Studio, Poland and Tue Madsen of Antfarm Studio, Denmark.

Debut EP from Swedish Melodic Black/Speed/Thrash Metal band.
Chaos Feeds Life is a side project from some of the musicians from Skyfire band, and naturally shares a very similar sound to Skyfire's earlier work “Timeless Departure”. This contrasts with catchy, Thrashy guitar work that sounds very punk influenced at times with a few epic leads thrown in for good measure. The contrasting styles take hold many times during songs, where you will find Thrashy Metalcore sections giving way for bombastic keyboard lines in the vein of Bal-Sagoth.
Fans of Skyfire should check this out, as a lot of their trademark sound is still present; albeit in a different package. A great EP!!!

First European re-release of the debut full-length studio album by cult American Heavy Metal band.
By early 1984, guitar virtuoso David T. Chastain had moved on from his Hard Rock outfit, Spike, to form the more Metal-centric CJSS with the intention of exploring a direction more true to his musical vision. However, before CJSS would go on to achieve success of their own, David caught the attention of Shrapnel Records founder Mike Varney, who wanted to construct a new project around his accomplished musicianship. The #1 prospect to front the band was rude girl vocalist Leather Leone, who, alongside Spike and CJSS bassist Mike Skimmerhorn and future Cinderella drummer Fred Coury, cemented the initial line-up of the new project, christened simply: Chastain.
A highly prolific writer, David had stockpiled a wide assortment of tracks to choose from for the band's nine-song debut, "Mystery of Illusion". Chastain's magic combination of David's anthemic songwriting with Leather's soaring vocal power opened the floodgates for the legendary careers for which both artists are now known.
For fans of Dio, Warlock, Yngwie Malmsteen, CJSS and Leather!
Re-release includes two bonus tracks

First re-release of the second full-length studio album by cult American Heavy Metal band.
The first Chastain album to feature Fifth Angel drummer Ken Mary, who replaced Fred Coury, after a suggestion by Shrapnel Records president and talent scout Mike Varney.
On "Ruler Of The Wasteland", Chastain leads his band through a set of well-penned and fairly accessible Heavy Metal tunes with such dramatic titles as "The Battle of Nevermore" and "Angel of Mercy". Lead singer Leather sounds like a female Dio - in a good way. Guitar geeks should stick with Malmsteen, but more mainstream Metal audiences will enjoy Chastain's tough, song-oriented approach.
During the same year, David T. Chastain also released two other studio albums with his second band, CJSS.

The sixth full-length studio album by legendary Finnish Melodic Death Metal band.
The album includes more Thrash Metal than its predecessors. While writing and recording the album, Alexi Laiho had stated he felt very aggressive, and as a consequence the songs would be faster and "Thrashier" than the songs displayed on their previous release, "Are You Dead Yet?". He notified fans, however, that certain parts of the album would also be more progressive, as heard on "LoBodomy".
All the ingredients from past Bodom releases are present once more: Gothic keyboards, guitar acrobatics, and vocals that sound straight out of the torture chamber. But one thing that differentiates Children Of Bodom from the host of other similarly styled bands is that they know the importance of succinct songwriting - only one track here stretches past the five-minute mark. As a result, "Blooddrunk" showcases one of the few Metal bands that manage to balance straight-to-the-point songwriting with their collective instrumental prowess.
The album includes a re-recorded version single "Tie My Rope". 
The song "Done With Everything, Die For Nothing" is a playable song in Guitar Hero 5, which some players consider to be one of the game's harder songs. 
"Blooddrunk" entered the Billboard 200 at number 22, making it the band's highest charted album thus far in their career, and the third highest Death or Black Metal recording chart in the USA. It sold 20,000 copies during its first week of release. The album went Gold in Finland on pre-orders alone, and topped the Finnish charts beating its nearest rival in sales by 7 to 1.
This is the album you want if you're a Children Of Bodom fan (or even just a general Thrash Metal fan) who is looking for a more keyboard-driven album than their past work. Honestly a triumph!

The fourth full-length album by American Groove/Post-Thrash Metal/Metalcore band.
Chimaira is a band that went through some hard times. They had to replace their drummer 3 times, they had changed their bassist 3 time, they replace one of their guitar player. Now it's a totally different band. People used to think that they stayed close to their Nu-Metal roots of "Pass Out Of Existence" but they haven't. You've got to listen to all of their records to see the evolution of the band. "Resurrection" is now the pinnacle of their career. The impossibility of reason was an angry Thrash album, "Chimaira", it was a more mature product. Now "Resurrection" is the mix of the two. Featuring some of their most aggressive part and some of the most epic moments you can't think.
With Andols Herrick back in the band the band have now resurrect which is why they've choose this record title and write a song about it. The music is as angry as the impossibility of reason. Maturity is a word that always seems to be more involve in the case of Chimaira.
Music wise the band is still using the same format but the songs are shorter than on the self-titled. Thrash riff, double bass, solos and breakdown. The guitar work of Rob Arnold is amazing. The album is bit more Thrash than they used to. They're not getting closer to the status of a Trash band than a Metalcore band. Mark Hunter's voice is at his peak. His lyrics are some of the most brutal he's written. The bass is a bit more present than before. Jason Suecof, the producer, help Jim Lamarca a lot on writing bass line. You can see it on the bonus DVD. Rob solos are like they used to be. Not too much but just great. Andols now better than ever; he's using more cymbals.
Overall this record is a solid work, more mature and darker. They're now holding their future up their hand. We're just hoping that they'll stay in the good direction!
This is the Chimaira's first album with Ferret Music since leaving Roadrunner Records. "Resurrection" features drummer Andols Herrick who rejoined the band. Debuting at number 42 on the Billboard 200 charts, "Resurrection" shipped about 16,000 copies sold in its first week. The title track appears on the soundtrack for the video game Saint's Row 2. The album is also listed on Metal Storm's top 100 metal albums.

The fifth full-length album by the American Groove/Post-Thrash Metal/Metalcore band.
Opening with an ominous, semi-epic instrumental the passage, the album aims and fires without much apprehension. With 10 tracks, the guarantee of all killer, no filler is one that can easily be made. Cleveland's Chimaira have always knocked on the door of mainsteam Metal success that has been opened by the likes of Killswitch Engage, Lamb of God and As I Lay Dying, but the six-piece has never fully entered the room and crashed the party. There's no real reason for that, as the band is deft with manufacturing Metal songs that are raw enough to chafe the first layer of cells from your skin. The guitar work is good. The screaming is good. The drumming is, and we mean no offense to those who are heavily medicated or institutionalized, f**king insane; it's the anchor of "The Infection", with it's super-precise patterns. "The Infection" is easily the band's most brutal album to date; the opening salvo, "The Venom Inside", is slightly blackened, while "Frozen in Time" is threaded with an ever-so-subtle keyboard melody that is often reserved for European Metal bands. About three minutes into this song, there's a haunting, creeky part that will make the baby fine hairs on your spine stand on end; it's creepy, eerie and thoroughly Metallic. Chimaira are throwing everything, including the kitchen sink, into their sonic stew and the band ends up with a Blackened and Deathy American Metal record that should shut the mouths of naysayers who tried to classify Chimaira as Nu Metal in the past.
Guitarists Rob Arnold and Matt DeVries prove to be a formidable tandem on "The Infection", which is driven by both Slayer and classic Metallica-influenced riffs. It's as though every member of Chimaira stepped up to the plate and knocked it outta the park when it came to writing and playing their parts on the album. Hunter's ferocious; drummer Andols Herrick is a machine holding down the rhythm section with Jim LaMarca; Arnold and DeVries squeeze out riffs that could cut plate glass; and Chris Spicuzza, who handles the electronics, has enhanced the record with his touches and flourishes in more obvious, audible ways than ever before. Check about four minutes and beyond of "Secrets of the Dead" for a real taste of what Spicuzza adds to Chimaira's overall sound!
Chimaira have gotten more Metal with age and this is one "The Infection" you'll want to succumb to!!
Album reached position 30 on the Billboard 200 charts on its first week of release, selling around 15,000 copies. This was improvement from the previous album's debut at No. 42. It is also their last album to feature long time bassist Jim Lamarca, drummer Andols Herrick, as well as longtime keyboard player Chris Spicuzza and guitarist Matt DeVries.
This limited edition includes bonus track “Revenge” as well as bonus DVD with 48 min. “Making of…”

The debut mini-album by Swedish Thrash/Melodic Death Metal band.
Seven tracks of Technical Death/Thrash Metal with Melodic and Groove based elements combined with rhythmic illusions, polymeric and Dark Electronics.
With a trademark of tightness, technicality and explosive live-performances, Chine brings an intense experience from a front line of two battling vocalists, assaulting the listener with deep roars and high screams, in a background of rhythmic verses and thick, bombastic choruses.

Line-up includes ex-members of Doro, TNT, Yngwie J. Malmsteen, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Tim "Ripper" Owens, Savatage, and more…
A US-only release, includes exclusive tracks "What Child Is This" and "Christmas Is".

Second full-length album by American Progressive Power Metal solo-project of Chris Caffery, guitarist of Savatage.
Album contains 13 tracks, which means approximately 52 minutes of melodic Heavy Metal. Basically, melodic Heavy Metal cannot exactly describe this album. Caffery combines many Metal genres, which of course are close to each other. This album continues exactly from where his first two albums were. The heaviness remains but this time, Caffery's vocals are more powerful and definitely more mature. This time the music is much more diverse. Heavy Metal is the law as always, but the music is now enriched with some Power Metal elements as well as some more aggressive Thrash Metal stuff. All those filtered through the 21st century's sound of course. Caffery's sound is influenced by Savatage a lot and this is more than obvious in every single track. His vocals are based on the classic Savatage vocal lines and the guitars are razor sharp. Now imagine all of the above with the addition of great musicians that give their own touch here and there making this album even more kick-ass: Alex Skolnick (Testament, Savatage…etc.), Nick Douglas (Doro, Blaze), Paul Morris (Doro, Rainbow… etc.) and more.
Every single metalhead has loved the guitar work of Chris Caffery and definitely worshiped every. “Pins And Needles” is a very good name for this album since every song pinches your f*****g hairy ass to get up and headbang until your head rolls on the ground!
