CD

The first re-release of the third full-length studio album by cult Hungarian Atmospheric Black Metal band.
A perfectly balanced Atmospheric Black Metal, with some exceptional monumental parts, with a lot of additional brass section and a great harsh, but clean and powerful sound, "Grand Destiny" belongs to the harshest sounding Sear Bliss albums. The production on it is quite clear, but with that Raw Black Metal touch, what makes it sound so damn good, a bit like Gehenna did on "Malice" maybe.
As always, Sear Bliss astonishes, for having a great ability to compose interesting and incredibly well-arranged songs. Every part of "Grand Destiny", from start to finish, is excellent and so the whole album has no downs, no fillers, no weak points. It is very damn close to perfection and for sure it is one of the best Black Metal albums from the early 2000s, from the Hungarian Epic Black Metal elite!
Cover art work by Kris Verwimp (Absu, Marduk, etc).
Remastered by Mike Wead (King Diamond/Mercyful Fate), CD features booklet with completely new graphics.

The debut full-length studio album by Italian Progressive Rock band.
Secret Alliance starts as a solo project of the Italian guitarist Gianluca Galli, known as a founder and former member of Mantra, Time Machine and Silver Horses. To help bring his songs to life, Galli recruited some top international players, including drummer Ricardo Confessori (Angra, Shaman), fretless bass player Tony Frankin (Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Whitesnake, Kate Bush, etc.), Chick Corea guitarist Frank Gambale, and Italian guitar virtuoso Alex Masi. Vocals provided by Silver Horses singer, Andrea Ranfagni.
"Solar Warden" explores the modern and classic Heavy Rock sound with some Progressive influences and perfect voice by Andrea Ranfagni. The songs have all a common line, a classic Hard 'N' Heavy Rock sound, where the guitar riffs are the columns of the songwriting. Musically speaking, and perhaps self-evident, Galli has built his songs around his guitar work. His riffs are rich and thick, creating a wall of sound; his leads abundant and soaring. These things wrapped in arrangements of Heavy Rock with Prog and some Blues nuances. Vocalist has a clear and assertive presence without going screaming. Rather, his voice has some passion, even some of that Blues vibe.
Essentially, with Secret Alliance and "Solar Warden", talented guitarist Gianluca Galli has created a platform for his own performance. If you like guitar, Heavy and somewhat Proggy Rock, you will enjoy this album!

The debut full-length album by American Progressive Black/Doom Metal band.
Projecting a unique brand of cinematic, cerebral, Atmospheric Metal with a persuasion towards Doom Metal and even more Blackened influences citing The Ocean, Opeth, Isis, Agalloch and others, on "To Sail Black Waters", California’s ambidextrous collective make contributions with multiple instruments, layering synth/keys, violins and an array of vocal styles atop the crushing rhythm section and massive triple guitar attack. The booming, pristine production of the album magnifies the band’s power with impeccable clarity, the outcome of a massive spread-out eight month period of recording sessions at Trident Studios with engineer/producer Juan Urteaga (Testament, Machine Head, Cattle Decapitation).
The Oakland based sextet takes what is a great but tired genre and adds a dash of Black Metal and a bit of Prog. Imagine if you tossed Neurosis, more recent Immortal, and Porcupine Tree into a blender. Sounds like a f**ked up mix, right? It's an awesome f**ked up mix though! "The Sail Black Waters" consists of 4 tracks that are rooted in Sludge, that manage to take twists and turns throughout it's all-too-short forty-one minute run-time. There are moments of dreamy soundscapes, harmonized clean vocals, and crescendos aplenty.
A band they bring to mind is the Australian Black Metal band Ne Obliviscaris. They don't necessarily sound alike, especially because Secrets Of The Sky simple aren't playing as fast, but their progressions are quite similar. Also, Secrets happen to employ a violin as one of the several talents of vocalist Garett Gazay. Their use of it is much more subtle than Ne Obliviscaris to the point where it becomes a game listening for it.
Despite having songs averaging longer than ten minutes, Secrets makes each memorable, or at least distinguishable, by changing its formula from piece to piece. Gazay throws clean vocals in the mix alongside his growls and hollow rasp on “Decline”, while power-chord riffing gives way to dissonant harmonics. “Sunrise”, whose initial riff perhaps falls short of the rest, is buoyed by a pair of perfectly placed and uplifting (as Doom Metal goes) choruses. While Ryan Healy’s bass playing is audible throughout, he never really makes his presence known until the title track; “Black Waters”, however opens with a bass riff taken straight from John Williams’ nightmares, as if to signify that this is the album’s climax. Indeed, everything about “Black Waters” screams of an ending, down to its chanted chorus of. After pounding through those titular stormy waters for ten minutes, the song gives way to a haunting refrain that closes the album perfectly.
Secrets Of The Sky isn’t doing anything revolutionary yet, but based on the early returns that’s probably for the best – it’s nice to hear a band focused on getting the finer points of its craft right instead of trying to invent a new one. As a whole, the songwriting on "To Sail Black Waters" is well-balanced and understated in the way that made bands like Neurosis legends. While that may be setting an awfully high bar, Secrets Of The Sky already has a strong foundation and an album that gets better with each listen. 
"To Sail Black Waters" is among the more eminently listenable Doom/Sludge Metal efforts of the year! For fans of: The Ocean, Opeth, Isis, and Agalloch!!

Re-release of the third full-length album by the French AOR band.
Westcoast AOR always enjoyed great popularity in France, the native country of Sedona. The members of the band are accomplished instrumentalists, who also know how to sing those typical Westcoast harmonies.
Westcoast style AOR is something of a rarity these days, so big thumbs up in the direction of Avenue Of Allies for taking risks and putting out albums in this style. It’s nice to still hear bands performing and creating this style of very Soft Rock, in an era where every musician in Rock is compelled to get heavier in order to appeal to a wider audience.
"Golden Valley" is actually a re-issue, originally released in 1995 the bands third but first in English album. The re-issue is actually a taster and pre-cursor to the bands upcoming all new album due late 2010.
Not really an instant album, but it is damn good after you listen to the album a few times and really become attuned to the songs subtle hooks and power. This is great music to relax to and fantastic inoffensive good feeling background music. Many films of 80s era would use music like this throughout to emphasize whatever was going on in a scene to great effect, especially if you listen to just the music and try to zone the vocals out.
This is a great west coast album and definitely one for fans of the genre to check out and enjoy! This album will really wet your appetite for their upcoming new album as well. Smooth west coast AOR with a summery and atmospheric vibe, a perfect album for those summer barbeques!!

Debut EP by Greek Power/Gothic Metal band.
This debut EP from Greek melodic rockers Seed Of Sadness will perhaps capture most people’s attention because of the contribution of Firewind/Outland keyboardist/guitarist Bob Katsionis, who also mixed the five tracks on this self-released and self-titled opus. Hopefully Katsionis’ presence and contribution will help to bring some most deserved attention to this rather pleasant little offering, at it is as fine a slice of melodic Euro Metal as you are going to find around at the moment. While the keyboards are overly prominent in some places, they by and large combine with the excellent guitar work of Jimmy Nore, who weaves some interesting musical landscapes across the rock solid foundation created by bassist Mike G and drummer Johnny K, who both do their jobs with consummate ability. The standout contribution, however, is that of Stellaria, who has a rich voice, resonant, powerful and melodic, deeper than many of her contemporaries but eminently suited to the material, particularly on heavier moments such as “Is This The Way”, although she also pulls off quieter passages, such as “The Final Dance” with equal conviction.
The songs, in their basic structure, are played with both ability and passion and the performances have enough conviction in them to warrant not only returning to this particular EP but also to whet the appetite for the inevitable follow up.

The fifth full-length studio album by legendary Finnish Melancholic Gothic Metal band.
The first album with bassist Sami Kukkohovi after former bassist/vocalist Taneli Jarva's departure, 1998's "Frozen" was a natural follow-up to the previous record, "Down", and captures the band as they explore their Melancholy Dark Rock/Metal path with strong, memorable songs that nevertheless retain a distinct sense of atmosphere.
With "Frozen", Sentenced align their Melodic Metal sound with the Gothic sounds of bands like Tiamat, Moonspell, and Paradise Lost. Returning to Woodhouse Studios with producer Waldemar Sorychta (Tiamat, Moonspell, Lacuna Coil, Samael) and try to perfect their trade, the band put forth a chilling collection of Melancholic Metal.
Although structures remain for the most part basic variations, layering of additional instrumentation augment them enough to give context to the glimpses of underlying structure granted by Black Sabbath-style epiphanies built into the apex of each song's evolution. Expert Blues lead guitar gives way periodically to some cliché-ridden complexes of tangential riffing, but mostly articulates a careful path of manipulation of the vital emotions encoded within the Blues. A reasonable comparison might be drawn to later Iron Maiden. While the essence of this music is not necessarily any massive deviation from the historical capacity of Rock n Roll, and while it is far from Death Metal, Sentenced's "Frozen" still manages to wrest some quality Heavy Metal from the background of cheese into which it could easily be absorbed, and for that gets credit from every Metal fan!

The first re-release of the first EP by legendary Finnish Melodic Death Metal band.
Every Melodic Death Metal band has covered an Iron Maiden song or two. And Sentences made this much faster than the original, with the raspy vocals power that the original lacked. The nicest part is that in some parts they have clean in the background, to keep the original vocal melodies intact. It's great! They nail the solo, even speed it up. In fact, the entire song is so much f***ing faster that it's a minute shorter than the original. Also, as you listen to the vocals, it sounds like Sentenced is having an f***ing blast playing this song. And you'll get a lot of fun listening to it!
"Desert by Night" is an awesome piece of early Melodic Death Metal with some Progressive and Thrash Metal influence that characterizes At The Gates, and more overt melody more commonly used by early Dark Tranquillity and In Flames. And it's great! Absolutely beautiful piano outro too.
"In Memorium" is a remastered track from the "Journey To Pohjola" demo that was released between "Shadows Of The Past" and "North From Here". It is raw and brutal, with deep vocals (like the debut), but has some melody of the second album.
"Awaiting The Winter Frost" is a song from "North From Here", and a good addition to the EP. It starts with some Folkish acoustic accompanied by haunting keyboard, before speeding up and going into Metal.
Tracks 1-3 are the demo "Journey To Pohjola" (1992), added to this re-release as a bonus.
All tracks are recorded at Tico-Tico Studios (Sonata Arctica, Wintersun, Impaled Nazarene) with Ahti Kortelainen, Finland 1992 – 1993. Booklet and original artwork are completely restored by ACW (Pestilence, Tiamat, Ceremonial Oath).
If you're a fan of Melodeath, or just Death Metal in general, check out some early Sentenced. This is a good EP to sample for it!

The first re-release of the fourth full-length studio album by cult Greek Atmospheric/Gothic Death Metal band.
The first Septic Flesh release since 1991's "Temple Of The Lost Race" (EP) to feature a human drummer.
"A Fallen Temple" occupied a unique space in the band's history upon its original release in '98. The album featured re-recordings from their savage debut LP "Temple Of The Lost Race" interspersed amongst some of the band's most Avant-garde work to date.
The heightened atmospherics, synthesized orchestration, and angelic soprano vocals affirmed the bold and adventurous creative direction the band had begun to follow, and was the perfect bridge to what was coming with 1999's "Revolution DNA".
Now remastered and repackaged by front-man Seth Siro Antoniou, and includes four bonus tracks!

Septicflesh are painting an apocalyptic vision and make full use of their impressive musical palette consisting of Death Metal and Orchestral colours on their tenth full-length. Although the biblical omega marks the end, Septicflesh on the contrary are reaching their current peak with "Codex Omega", an album that clearly witnesses the Greek visionaries having come to maturity and expert craftsmanship in every sense. Septicflesh are the undisputable masters of Symphonic Death Metal, and "Codex Omega" is the perfect proof for this bold statement.

The seventh full-length studio album by legendary Greek Atmospheric/Gothic/Symphonic Death Metal band.
The Greek legend has finally returned from its undead slumber to unleash brooding visions of much darker times and space unto an unsuspecting world. "Communion" is the first album since the band's split up, after the release of "Sumerian Daemons" in 2003, and the first to be released under the name Septicflesh following the band's name change, known before as Septic Flesh. Septicflesh first announced a reunion show at the Metal Healing Festival in their home-country on February 19, 2007 and shortly hereafter a new full-length on French label Season of Mist.
Septicflesh have once more renewed and refined all their trademarks: on the top layer stand massive guitar-walls of Death, sometimes coming close to Blackness and often interlaced with intricate Technical string-filigree. Underlining this fierceness with haunting Gothic melodies, the band has added an epic dimension by including a full classical orchestra with more than 100 musicians, arranged by guitarist Christos Antoniou, who has a master's degree in concert music from the London College of Music. The FILMharmonic Orchestra Prague recorded the compositions with 80 instrumentalists and a choir of 32 singers.
The Extreme elements of Septic Flesh are tempered with melody and contrasted nicely by the Symphonic elements. The songwriting and arrangements are excellent. It's a great mix of tempos, intensities, and atmospheres. From the beautiful to the brutal, "Communion" covers all the musical bases, and this is one of the best albums Septicflesh has done!

The first live album by legendary Greek Atmospheric/Symphonic Death Metal band.
Live at the Metropolitan Theatre, Mexico City, 2nd February 2019. Audio and video formats together, featuring the live recording of Septicflesh’s once in a lifetime 2019 show, accompanied by the Toluca Philharmonica Orchestra in Mexico, conducted by the maestro Gerardo Urbán y Fernandez.
"Infernus Sinfonica MMXIX" is an utter masterpiece in nearly every way; a diamond in the rough of orchestral live shows. Even with Septicflesh’s brilliant use of orchestra in the studio since "Communion" back in 2008, little did you'll not realize how damned alive the beast could become!
The production is staggering. The orchestra is full and atmospheric, and sounds very close to the studio versions albeit with a sense of immediacy and living grandiosity, which works really well here. The mix is just stunning, and the partnership between powerful Metal-based instrumentation along with the Symphonic lends an almost tangible feel; as if you can really sink your teeth into the sound.
Probably what differentiates the tracks here from their studio editions, apart from the passionate Mexican crowd, are the demonic vocals of Seth Siro Anton. Yes, they sound great on the albums, but on this performance he just lets loose. This is one of the great vocal performances, and his impassioned growls help the tracks explode from the speakers. He holds the crowd in the palm of his hand with his various directions, demands and diabolical messaging.
It’s a brilliant live album, a fitting best-of, and an elevated aural experience of the world’s greatest Symphonic band! Septicflesh are the undisputable masters of Symphonic Death Metal, and this live experience is the perfect proof for this bold statement!!

Second re-release of the debut full-length album by the cult Greek Atmospheric/Symphonic Death Metal band.
Since their reunion, Septicflesh (Septic Flash before) have established themselves as a leading force of Symphonic Dark Metal with their critically acclaimed masterpieces “Communion” (2008) and “The Great Mass” (2011). Yet the Greeks already won a dedicated and strong fan-base in their first incarnation as Septic Flesh.
Produced by former Rotting Christ keyboardist and Necromantia founder Magus Wampyr Daoloth, their debut full-length “Mystic Places Of Dawn” was released in 1994 and soon acquired cult status. All trademark elements of Septicflesh are already present such as their singing guitar sound and even classical influences. With interest in band's surging to new heights following the release of “The Great Mass”, their cult beginnings with “Mystic Places Of Dawn” and all songs of 1991’s “Temple Of The Lost Race” EP added as bonus tracks will now be available anew! A must have for all fans!!
Re-edition contains new artwork and the “Temple Of The Lost Race” EP as bonus!

The first re-release of the third full-length studio album by cult Greek Atmospheric/Gothic Death Metal band.
"Ophidian Wheel" marks a critical turning point in the band's career. On this album, Septic Flesh further expanded their musical vocabulary, and added female soprano vocalist Natalie Rassoulis. The album sees the band moving even further into the Symphonic-laden and Classically-tinged Metal arrangements that have become their calling card.
Musically, this album is much more straightforward than previous albums, fusing an aggressive Death Metal style with elements of Gothic Rock.
Though someone named "Kostas" is credited for drums, all drums on this album were programmed.
The remastered re-release includes three previously unreleased bonus tracks. The release also features the brand-new cover artwork, designed by SepticFlesh vocalist/bassist Seth Siro Anton himself.
