Eighth full-length album by international Folk Viking Metal superband.
14 musicians from 8 different countries (Greece, Monaco, France, USA, Lithuania, Germany, Switzerland, Australia). This just may be Folkearth's most consistent album to date. The album is quite melodic, almost like a really restrained (early) Eluveitie. The "folk" part in the "folk metal" here mostly only comes in through the use of folk instruments themselves, not necessarily what they're playing. Rhythmically this is all metal and not folksy at all, but it should be noted that there aren't really any raging blast beats as there have been on prior Folkearth albums, and that's a good thing since they always seemed out of place. This is a different album to what you've heard from Folkearth in the past and it’s great!

Second full-length album by the French Experimental Post Death Metal band.
A heavy, dark and ethereal atmosphere is promised. The production is by Dan Swanö at Unisound Studio. The result is a powerful and lively combination, full of twists and something which is very darkly Progressive.
We’re led into “Hell” and it would seem there’s no way out. “Hell” is the title of the opening track. It’s interesting. Walls of sound and deathly roars are the staple diet of this album but equally melodic twists and layers of subtlety take us into those shadowy worlds. Maybe there are too many conflicting layers, as if the make-up has been plastered on too liberally. But extremity is at the core and “Way” hammers down hard. There’s a kind of Black Metal element to the discordance. But “Way” is above all marching, imperious and all round heavy. And strongly smell Hypocrisy in this. Orchestral strains arise out of it. “Hole” then makes the atmosphere darker and crunchier. It slows down but not in conventional fashion. The guitars and vocals sound warped, bringing a scary element into it. The guitar lines and drum work are always interesting. The next track is called “Sky”. A warped and orchestral piece, it sounds as if it’s coming from the inside of someone’s head. The mixture is strange. It’s woozy and nightmarish yet deadened. It just ends mid-nightmare.
The constant sound of “Colors” is like a mechanical process, rather like the functional track titles themselves. In spite of the ferocity, epic heights are reached. But before long, we’re on the receiving end of a thunderous battery. It’s as if sounds are bouncing off walls. There’s persistence in this Darkened Metal. Experimental techno finishes off this track and leads us into “Truth”. This is like a slow cooker. It’s all there. It’s monstrously dark. Progress is made however. There’s a definite edge. It’s not so gripping as adhesive and, once again, persistent. The problem here is that it’s from the same pitch. There’s such a wall of sound. “Truth” is Gothic in its way. There’s a plaintive voice but it’s all shrouded in Blackness. Psychedelic tones can then be heard like the start of a track by The Gathering. The pace quickens up, and twisting Metal comes out as something akin to Folk Metal with strange voices. Yes, it’s strange but “Silence” has energy. The harshness reminds of Prostitute Disfigurement, yet this couldn’t be further from the Fuzzy Psychedelia, and the stuttering and eccentric fashion it which it ends. The bells toll. It is “Funeral” time. But this didn’t remind of a funeral. It’s more an experiment in mood. There’s the intriguing suggestion of a Chinese instrument as the track builds up. A thunderous wall is created. The atmosphere is created. In the Death Metal, a mysterious but beautiful voice appears. It is that of Anneke van Giersbergen formerly of The Gathering and now associated with the Devin Townsend Project. Her tones are typically sultry. For a rare moment the mood is quiet. The album ends on a quiet and calm note which is out of keeping with the roaring lion which had preceded it.
Without doubt this album goes deeper than the surface, and ventures into Experimental and Progressive Metal which challenges the mind. It's inexplicably experimental so although interesting.

The second ЕР by Ukrainian Melodic Death Metal band.
Forceout - without a doubt one of the best representatives of Ukrainian Melodic Death Metal scene. EP "Bloodtale" immersing you in the bloody reality of our world and give the story that more than one century cripples people.
The lyrics talks about how badly people treat each other, how weak people are not able to accept this reality, go to the actions that drove them mad, bullying their bodies, using drugs, engaging in self-destruction.
Musically, this bloody history is diluted by screaming and growling vocals, fast and melodic guitar solos, aggressive guitar riffs and strong drum's line.
"Bloodtale" strongly recommended for fans of: Children Of Bodom, Norther, Arch Enemy, Dark Tranquillity, In Flames and Hypocrisy, as well as for all those who love fast, melodic and aggressive music!!

The fourth full-length studio album by legendary British-American Melodic AOR/Soft Rock band.
Over the course of their first three late-'70s albums, Foreigner had firmly established themselves (along with Journey and Styx) as one of the top AOR bands of the era. But the band was still looking for that grand slam of a record that would push them to the very top of the heap. Released in 1981, "4" would be that album. In producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange (fresh off his massive success with AC/DC's "Back In Black") guitarist and all-around mastermind Mick Jones found both the catalyst to achieve this and his perfect musical soulmate. Lange's legendary obsessive attention to detail and Jones' highly disciplined guitar heroics (which he never allowed to get in the way of a great song) resulted in a collaboration of unprecedented, sparkling efficiency where not a single note is wasted.
The album was originally titled "Silent Partners" and later was changed to "4", reflecting both the fact that it was Foreigner's fourth album and that the band's membership had reduced from six to four members. Musically, it showed Foreigner shifting from Hard Rock to more accessible mainstream Rock and Pop music. The release of "4" coincided with the launch of MTV later that August.
"Nightlife" is only the first in a series ("Woman in Black", "Don't Let Go", the '50s-tinged "Luanne") of energetic, nearly flawless melodic Rockers, and with "Juke Box Hero", the band somehow managed to create both a mainstream Hit Single and a highly unique-sounding track, alternating Heavy Metal guitar riffing, chorused vocals, and one of the ultimate "wanna be a Rock Star" lyrics. As for the mandatory power ballad, the band also reached unparalleled heights with "Waiting for a Girl Like You". One of the decade's most successful cross-genre tearjerkers, it has since become a staple of Soft Rock radio and completely eclipsed the album's other very lovely ballad, "Girl on the Moon", in the process. And last but not least, the surprisingly Funky "Urgent" proved to be one of the band's most memorable and uncharacteristic smash hits, thanks to Junior Walker's signature saxophone solo. Through it all, vocalist Lou Gramm does his part, delivering a dazzling performance that confirmed his status as one of the finest voices of his generation. Mick Jones has rated three of the songs from "4" ("Urgent", "Juke Box Hero" and "Girl on the Moon") among his 11 favorite Foreigner songs.
"4" was a commercial success worldwide, holding the No. 1 position on the Billboard 200 chart for a total of 10 weeks. It eventually sold over six million copies in the U.S. alone. Several of its singles were hits, including "Urgent", "Waiting for a Girl Like You" and "Juke Box Hero".
Three years later, Foreigner would achieve even greater success on a Pop level with the uneven "Agent Provocateur", but by then Jones and Gramm were locked in an escalating war of egos that would soon lead to the band's demise. All things considered, "4" remains Foreigner's career peak.

Musically, it showed Foreigner shifting from Hard Rock to more accessible mainstream Rock and Pop music. The release of "4" coincided with the launch of MTV later that August.
"Nightlife" is only the first in a series ("Woman in Black", "Don't Let Go", the '50s-tinged "Luanne") of energetic, nearly flawless melodic Rockers, and with "Juke Box Hero", the band somehow managed to create both a mainstream Hit Single and a highly unique-sounding track, alternating Heavy Metal guitar riffing, chorused vocals, and one of the ultimate "wanna be a Rock Star" lyrics. As for the mandatory power ballad, the band also reached unparalleled heights with "Waiting for a Girl Like You". One of the decade's most successful cross-genre tearjerkers, it has since become a staple of Soft Rock radio and completely eclipsed the album's other very lovely ballad, "Girl on the Moon", in the process. And last but not least, the surprisingly Funky "Urgent" proved to be one of the band's most memorable and uncharacteristic smash hits, thanks to Junior Walker's signature saxophone solo. Through it all, vocalist Lou Gramm does his part, delivering a dazzling performance that confirmed his status as one of the finest voices of his generation. Mick Jones has rated three of the songs from "4" ("Urgent", "Juke Box Hero" and "Girl on the Moon") among his 11 favorite Foreigner songs.
"4" was a commercial success worldwide, holding the No. 1 position on the Billboard 200 chart for a total of 10 weeks. It eventually sold over six million copies in the U.S. alone. Several of its singles were hits, including "Urgent", "Waiting for a Girl Like You" and "Juke Box Hero".
Three years later, Foreigner would achieve even greater success on a Pop level with the uneven "Agent Provocateur", but by then Jones and Gramm were locked in an escalating war of egos that would soon lead to the band's demise. All things considered, "4" remains Foreigner's career peak.

The fourth full-length studio album by legendary British-American Melodic AOR/Soft Rock band.
Over the course of their first three late-'70s albums, Foreigner had firmly established themselves (along with Journey and Styx) as one of the top AOR bands of the era. But the band was still looking for that grand slam of a record that would push them to the very top of the heap. Released in 1981, "4" would be that album. In producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange (fresh off his massive success with AC/DC's "Back In Black") guitarist and all-around mastermind Mick Jones found both the catalyst to achieve this and his perfect musical soulmate. Lange's legendary obsessive attention to detail and Jones' highly disciplined guitar heroics (which he never allowed to get in the way of a great song) resulted in a collaboration of unprecedented, sparkling efficiency where not a single note is wasted.

The fifth full-length studio album by legendary British-American Melodic Hard Rock/Soft Rock band.
It took Foreigner three years to release a follow-up to its 1981 blockbuster, "4". Released on December 14, 1984, it's the band's only number-one album on the United Kingdom Albums Chart, and it reached the top five on the United States Billboard 200. Perhaps that wait wasn't long enough, because "Agent Provocateur" is a prime example of the best and worst traits of AOR – a handful of remarkable songs padded by toothless filler.
Despite contributing a few killer riffs to Foreigner's '70s canon, guitarist/keyboardist Mick Jones isn't known for his six-string abilities. His biggest strength is his knack for melody as a songwriter, keyboardist, and producer, and all these qualities are evident on "Agent Provocateur". Of course, vocalist/songwriter Lou Gramm is indispensable as the band's golden-throated frontman. Jones largely guided things behind the studio console, but a co-producer usually helped, such as Alex Sadkin on this album.
"I Want to Know What Love Is" became Foreigner's first and only number one single, and it's not hard to see why. Its dreamy, hypnotic feel is due in part to Gramm's soulful lead vocals and the New Jersey Mass Choir's background vocals. Jennifer Holliday and the Thompson Twins' Tom Bailey help out as well. "That Was Yesterday", a terrific hit single, features a catchy chorus and a nifty synthesizer lick. "Reaction to Action" and "Down on Love" were both minor hits, but there's a huge difference in quality between the two; the former is the epitome of bland, formulaic AOR, while the latter includes a pleasant chorus and a warm keyboard melody. "A Love in Vain" and "Growing Up the Hard Way" are great too.
Although album sales were lower than their previous work in the US, it contains the band's biggest hit single, "I Want to Know What Love Is", which is their only #1 single on the UK singles chart and the US Billboard Hot 100, staying at the top spot for three and two weeks, respectively. The follow-up single, "That Was Yesterday", also proved to be a sizeable hit, peaking at #12 in the US. The album was certified Platinum in the UK by the BPI, and triple Platinum in the US by the RIAA.

The second full-length studio album by legendary British-American Melodic Hard Rock/Soft Rock band.
Foreigner promptly followed up its blockbuster debut with the equally successful, which featured mega-hits "Hot Blooded" and the driving title track. Opting not to mess with a good formula, the band wisely sticks to the polished Hard Rock sound that made its first record such a hit. A fine collection of songs that is Hard Rock at its best, "Double Vision" has more individualistic interpretations and a Heavy Metal tonal structure instead of some of the careful harmonies of the debut album. Recorded between March-May 1978, it was Foreigner's only album co-produced by Keith Olsen and the last recording with bass guitarist Ed Gagliardi, who would be later replaced by Rick Wills.
"Tramontane" is the only instrumental track Foreigner have released to date on a studio album. Mick Jones takes the lead vocals on "Back Where You Belong" and "I Have Waited So Long".
The lead single, released in June 1978, was "Hot Blooded," which reached number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In September, it was followed by "Double Vision", which charted at number 2. This was the highest position Foreigner had attained to that time. The third and final single, "Blue Morning, Blue Day", was released in December and climbed to number 15 on the chart.
The album peaked at number 3 on the Billboard 200 chart and earning Platinum certification a week after its release. It has now been certified 7× Platinum for sales in excess of 7 million units and is counted as Foreigner's best selling album. In Europe, however, "Double Vision" reached the Top 40 only in the United Kingdom.

Foreigner promptly followed up its blockbuster debut with the equally successful, which featured mega-hits "Hot Blooded" and the driving title track. Opting not to mess with a good formula, the band wisely sticks to the polished Hard Rock sound that made its first record such a hit. A fine collection of songs that is Hard Rock at its best, "Double Vision" has more individualistic interpretations and a Heavy Metal tonal structure instead of some of the careful harmonies of the debut album. Recorded between March-May 1978, it was Foreigner's only album co-produced by Keith Olsen and the last recording with bass guitarist Ed Gagliardi, who would be later replaced by Rick Wills.
"Tramontane" is the only instrumental track Foreigner have released to date on a studio album. Mick Jones takes the lead vocals on "Back Where You Belong" and "I Have Waited So Long".
The lead single, released in June 1978, was "Hot Blooded," which reached number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In September, it was followed by "Double Vision", which charted at number 2. This was the highest position Foreigner had attained to that time. The third and final single, "Blue Morning, Blue Day", was released in December and climbed to number 15 on the chart.
The album peaked at number 3 on the Billboard 200 chart and earning Platinum certification a week after its release. It has now been certified 7× Platinum for sales in excess of 7 million units and is counted as Foreigner's best selling album. In Europe, however, "Double Vision" reached the Top 40 only in the United Kingdom.

The debut full-length studio album by legendary British-American Melodic Hard Rock/Soft Rock band.
Although Punk Rock's furious revolution threatened to overthrow rock's old guard in 1977, bands like Foreigner came along and proved that there was plenty of room in the marketplace for both the violent, upstart minimalism of Punk and the airbrushed slickness of what would be called "Arena Rock". Along with Boston, Journey, Heart, and others, Foreigner celebrated professionalism over raw emotion. And, looking back, it's easy to see why they sold millions; not everyone in the world was pissed off, dissatisfied with the economy, or even necessarily looking for a change. In fact, for most suburban American teens, Foreigner's immaculate Rock sound was the perfect soundtrack for cruising through well-manicured neighborhoods in their Chevy Novas.
The album spawned some of the biggest FM hits of 1977, including the anthemic "Feels Like the First Time", "Cold as Ice" and "Long, Long Way from Home", which were anchored (like most of Foreigner's songs) by the muscular but traditional riffing of lead guitarist and co-founder Mick Jones, the soaring vocals of Lou Gramm, and the state-of-the-Art Rock production values of the day, which allowed the band to sound hard but polished. It also features album tracks such as "Headknocker" and "Starrider", the latter of which features a rare lead vocal from Mick Jones.
As pure Rock craftsmanship goes, Foreigner was as good as it got in the late '70s.
The album peaked at #4 on Billboard and became five times Platinum, selling 5 million copies.

The third full-length studio album by legendary British-American Melodic Hard Rock/Soft Rock band.
Foreigner continued its Platinum winning streak on "Head Games". By the time it was released, FM radio had fully embraced bands like Foreigner, Journey and Boston, whose slick Hard Rock was tough enough to appeal to suburban teens, but smooth enough to be non-threatening to their parents. Tailor-made for the airwaves, "Dirty White Boy" and "Head Games" kept Foreigner at the top of the arena rock heap as the decade came to a close; and the supergroup's successes would continue well into the '80s.
Recorded at Atlantic Studios in New York, with additional recording and whole mixing taking place at Cherokee Studios in Los Angeles, it was the only Foreigner album co-produced by Roy Thomas Baker, best known for working on Queen's classic albums. The album marked the first appearance of new bass guitarist Rick Wills (formerly of Jokers Wild, Roxy Music and Small Faces) who replaced Ed Gagliardi (who was fired from the band), and was the last album with founding members Ian McDonald and Al Greenwood, who would leave the band after the recording. "Head Games" is also the last Foreigner album to feature a lead vocal by guitarist Mick Jones ("The Modern Day").
The model in the photograph on the front cover is American actress and film producer Lisanne Falk. According to Foreigner lead singer, Lou Gramm, "the girl is being naughty, erasing graffiti in the restroom. She's looking at whoever buys the album. She's been caught". The cover art was criticized by feminists. According to Miami Herald critic, Bill Ashton, "the cover art is a play on the album title". Atlantic Records publicity director Stuart Ginsburg pointed out that "head is a naval term for bathroom" and Foreigner's media coordinator Susan Steinberg stated that "the girl on the cover is shocked by the graffiti. It's not like somebody is attacking her".
In August 1979, the release of the album was preceded by its first single, the Hard Rock song "Dirty White Boy", which peaked at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The next singles were the title track and "Women", which reached number 14 and 41, respectively.
The album itself continued Foreigner's popularity, climbing to number 5 on the Billboard 200 chart and receiving a Platinum certification four months after it hit the stores. As of 2017, Head Games has gained a 5× Platinum status for selling at least 5 million copies in the United States.
