CD

The first re-release of the seventh full-length studio album by legendary American Progressive Metal band.
The album continues with the commercial sound that "Parallels" began, but not as effective as a collective whole. The tracks seem to be a bit edgier and slightly harsher than those from "Parallels", and lyrically they are more introspective.
Mark Zonder's drumming approach continues to impress and Jim Matheos' guitar arrangements have grown increasingly complex; however, the band seems to be struggling for a clear direction. An effort toward commercial success is evident; however, they are also attempting to satisfy their core fan base. The standard strong structures can grow tiresome, but there are catchy melodies such as "Shelter Me" and "Pale Fire." "Island in the Stream" is a memorable ballad that works despite the use of strings. "Down to the Wire" and "Face the Fear" are aggressive songs that show the band's energy, but again suffer from Pop clichés. "Monument" is the session's best performance and has become one of the band's most requested songs (Mark Zonder is simply astonishing on this track). For all the fans who are in awe of Dream Theater's Mike Portnoy, it would be a disservice not to investigate the Progressive stylings of Zonder. The music here is bubbling just below the surface, but never quite erupts as it should. Still recommended for Zonder's performance alone.
It was the last to feature long-time members Frank Aresti and Joe DiBiase, who left after its release. Aresti would rejoin Fates Warning in 2005 and appeared on their 2013 album "Darkness In A Different Light". DiBiase would return in 2010 for a number of shows, but did not officially rejoin.
"Inside Out" is an extremely melodic album, featuring amazing musicianship and fine songwriting both in terms of music and lyrics. Having that said, no Fates Warning or Metal collection would be complete without this album, so go buy it!!

Remastered re-release of debut full-length album by legendary Progressive Heavy/Power/Speed Metal band.
The debut of 1984 showed the band around mastermind Jim Matheos still pretty straight and quite MAIDEN-esque. But a song like "Damnation" already shows the epic direction of the later century-albums like "The Spectre Within" and "Awaken The Guardian", for many the evangelium in Metal! But also songs like "The Calling", "Kiss Of Death", "Soldier Boy" or the great title track are mandatory cult! John Arch just as a gigantic voice and his original vocallines are extraordinary and make the old Fates Warning something very special! That is just the magic that the last three releases of the band are lacking a bit. Basically, this is the demo recording, upgraded to first album status. The title of the album is apparently a reference to The Bröcken, a mountain in Lower-Saxony (Germany) that is traditionally connected with witches (Walpurgis Night), most famously in Goethe's “Faust”. The reference becomes apparent on two original album covers that "were scrapped prior to major distribution".
Re-edition contains four bonus tracks!

Second full-length album by Japanese Progressive Power Metal band.
Fatima Hill is the brain-child of Anjue Yamashiro, who plays "6 & 12 strings" as well as electric mandolin for this album. "Aion" features the unique vocal stylings of Diva Yuko's groaning 80's-style vibrato that manages to sound vaguely like Siouxsie Sioux.
Guitar wizard and band mastermind, Anjue Yamashiro, delivers excellent Power Metal tracks. Heavy buzzsaw riffs in "Ares Dragon" flow over the audible grumbling bass lines. A touch of synthesizer here and there does not distract. Some samples are even orchestral in their nature. The balance between keyboard and guitar has the latter winning the match in the excellent harmonized lead. Voice of Yuko is both melodic and powerful. Quiet synthesizers open up playing the main melody, and then drums kick in. After a verse and the catchiest chorus Yamashiro produces an Eastern influenced lead with lots of fast scales playing.
After two Power Metal songs, album goes more in the direction of the Japanese Folk influenced radio friendly Pop Rock style. Keyboards take on increasingly heavier load and on "Other". Poppy and radio friendly, but good Metal music.
The bass player, Hayato Asano, is an excellent musician and deserves a boatload of credit. Where he is allowed to be heard, he delivers. The production is definitely not powerful, and puts an emphasis on the radio friendliness.
Be prepared for eight new tracks of Japanese wonder children.This magnificent band sounds like Rainbow, Dio and Black Sabbath (Dio era). Their bombastic Power Metal contains some fabulous guitarwork, great song strucutres and the heavenly voice of their female singer Yuko. Enjoy their dark, sometimes Doomy Metal with lots of fast guitar breaks. These Japanese musicians are also continuing the great Japanese Metal tradition that started in the early eighties with bands like Loudness, Bow Wow, Earthshaker, X-Ray and 44 Magnum. But the music of this band comes nearer to more obscure names like Murasaki and Eastern Orbit. Fans of Japanese Metal will know exactly what its mean!

Remastered re-release of the debut full-length album by Japanese Progressive Power Metal Metal band.
Some bands don't get the credit they deserve, even in the Metal Underground. This is the album that is incredibly underrated.
The general sound of this harkens back to Rainbow far more than it does to Helloween, and as that perhaps implies, this is not the album to pick up if you're looking for something really fast and/or heavy. It's quite mid-paced for the most part, and would probably qualify as hard Progressive Rock rather than Metal if it was just a bit softer. Despite the obvious Rainbow influence, it doesn't sound "retro"- there's definitely some influence from modern Metal, as well as perhaps a hint of eighties J-Rock of the heavier sort, along the lines of X-Japan and Loudness. Nor does it sound like straight-up Rainbow worship- the band carves out a distinct identity for themselves in a couple of different ways.
One is the general atmosphere of the whole thing, which is created by some excellent usage of keyboards. This is fairly keyboard-heavy music, but they never seem anything but appropriate- the band avoids having them drown out the guitars, and they work very well to help create an atmosphere.
The other major distinguishing feature of Fatima Hill is their vocalist, Yuko. She is, in fact, probably the element that most stands out about this band. Most female fronted Power Metal seems to take one of two vocal approaches- "angelic"/quasi-operatic style soprano vocals which are both rarely done as well as they should be and which are a horribly overdone cliche at this point anyway, or less commonly, a rougher, more traditional Power Metal style. Yuko's vocals are something altogether different from either. Her voice is very deep, startlingly deep in fact, yet it's also very smooth- she never sounds gravelly-voiced or "tough". Yet despite the deepness of her voice, she doesn't sound at all androgynous- it's pretty obvious listening to her that she's female. Her delivery is very much in the over-the-top Power Metal tradition- Ronnie James Dio was clearly a pretty major influence. It's almost a quasi-operatic style at times, but she would be a contralto instead of a soprano, and as such she never really sounds reminiscent of the usual high-pitched quasi-operatic female Metal vocalist.
"Valhalla" is structured somewhat oddly- there are three relatively short songs at the beginning, and the rest of the album (not counting the bonus track) consists of three long Progressive epics, each over ten minutes. 
It's very, very good album, and served much more acclaim than it got. If you're fan of Progressive and/or Power Metal looking for something bit different from the norm, or like unusual vocalists, just seek it out. Highly recommended!
Remastered re-edition features bonus track.

The only live album by the band is a selection from the eight concerts of the European tour in the fall of 2007. A large section of the album taken from the concert recordings in “Tivoli” (Utrecht, Holland), at Pagan Folk Festival, that was organized by the Faun in 2007.

The debut full-length album by Finnish Melodic Death/Thrash Metal band. 
Final Dawn offer the mixes of Metal genres, combining the growls of Death Metal with the fretwork of Sweden, and the Thrash Metal of early American heavyweights like Testament and Overkill.
On the quartet's collection, tracks like the striking "Bleeding Sky" emanates a classic Heavy Metal feel, while other cuts such as "Aggression Overdrive" exemplify a relentless yet intricate Death Metal influence.
Originally released as a 5-song Mini-CD while signed under a small English label. Things didn't go well with the label and the deal was terminated in spring 2003. Final Dawn then signed a deal with New Aeon Media in November 2003 and the band recorded three new tracks to complete the CD: "Solemn Art", "What Flows Within" and "Regression Is Transgression".
Final Dawn seem far more influenced by Floridian Death Metal and oldschool Scandinavian Black Metal than they are by the likes of In Flames. This is raw and rowdy Death Metal with a serrated, rather than smooth, edge. This is the kind of music that rips and tears, instead of slices and dices. If you are expecting a razor and you get an axe, you might feel disappointed, but that doesn't mean there is anything wrong with your axe! "Under The Bleeding Sky" is a sturdy debut from a band whose Metal assault is as well balanced as it is crushing!!

The second full-length studio album by Maltese Hard Rock band.
Fire is the band that has been a favourite of Maltese headbangers since its inception in 1998. Like the band’s 2006 debut album, "Ignite", "Thrill Me" is a collection of Hard Rock and Metal tracks in the Whitesnake and Judas Priest mould. However, whilst retaining the strong melodic focus that characterized their debut, "Thrill Me" shows Fire delivering a harder, edgier sound, with songs like "Come with Me" and "Where are Going" being considerably heavier and darker than any of the band’s previous offerings.
Other highlights of the album include "No More Pain", which reveals the band’s softer, Bluesier side, and of course the title track, "Thrill Me", a foot-stomping crowd pleaser that has garnered extensive airplay on local radio stations.
The release of "Thrill Me" represents another important step forward for the band, following on the band’s success at the 2006 Oktoberfest battle of the bands, a number of well-received UK performances and sharing a stage with renowned band Krokus.

Second re-release of the debut full-length album by the cult American Melodic Hard Rock/Glam Metal band.
FireHouse shows their talent with several great songs with a new, signature sound which would later help them rise to fame. As with many bands, the lead singer is pretty much who defines the band. In this case, C.J. Snare is FireHouse. His vocals are very unique, and helps bring a great new name to 80's Hard Rock music.
The album kicks off with "Rock On The Radio", a moderate paced song with a unique intro to the song, album, and the band. The next song spawned a major hit for the band: "All She Wrote". This is a really awesome song, and it's one of the songs that really helped FireHouse find their sound. "Shake And Tumble" is a pretty decent song, with a nice upbeat sound and great guitar work. The next song also was a major hit for FireHouse, called "Don't Treat Me Bad". This song has an intro similar to Ratt's "Back For More", with an acoustic beginning and then a switch to electric guitars. "Oughta Be A Law" is a pretty fast paced song, and has a sound quality similar to "Rock On The Radio". The same can be said for the next track on the album, "Lover's Lane". The album returns back to their infamous sound with "Home Is Where The Heart Is". This song is extremely similar to "All She Wrote" sound wise. Then the album begins to slow down with "Don't Walk Away", a track with a haunting, pounding guitar beat. The next song is a quick acoustic instrumental, "Seasons Of Change". Then, the album kicks back into the Heavy Rock sound with "Overnight Sensation", which is similar in sound to "Rock On The Radio" as well. We then return back to the FireHouse signature sounding music with the hit "Love Of A Lifetime", a slow, yet great Rock song. To end the album, FireHouse gives us "Helpless", a great song that's very similar to "All She Wrote" with the tempo and overall sound. The album overall is very great! Each song is an individual hit.
"Firehouse" spawned four singles, "Shake & Tumble", "Don't Treat Me Bad", "All She Wrote", and the band's signature power ballad, "Love of a Lifetime". The song "Don't Walk Away" was used in a scene of the 2008 movie "The Wrestler", directed by Darren Aronofsky. Additionally, "Overnight Sensation" was a part of the soundtrack in the video game "Brütal Legend". The true strength of the record was the band's knack for power ballads like the Top 10 hit "Love of a Lifetime", considered as “Number One Wedding Song”.
The album was certified double Platinum in the United States, and Gold in Canada, Japan and Singapore.
FireHouse's debut is a really amazing album. C.J. Snare provides a new, unique sound to FireHouse's music. The album gives a unique range of different genre songs, such as Hard Rock and Glam Metal. FireHouse presents a new, unique addition to the Hard Rock and Glam Metal scene! Any Hard Rock lover should have no problem finding something they like on this album!!

The second EP by Italian Stoner/Doom Metal band.
Fusing Stoner-esque hues in rousing Metal and Heavy Rock aggression, the five track inferno of Rock ‘n‘ Roll is one of those propositions which energize body and emotions with ease. Like the most popular groups that inspired the band from the eighties and earlier, "Hammer Of Chaos" has a very analog presentation that works well with the Hard Rock infused mixture of Doom and Stoner Metal.
The bass guitar lends a decent pulse that can sometimes be a bit thin compared to the mid-range distortions of the guitar. The rougher vocals are a bit muffled though, as if carrying a forced effect from the studio to play up that rawer trait. The drums, however, sound fantastic overall, right down to being a bit louder in the mix which accentuates the echo they carry. There’s nothing inherently wrong with the way the EP sounds. In fact it easily captures the spirit of the seventies and eighties in a way similar to transferring a record or cassette to a modern, hi-fi medium.
"Hammer Of Chaos" is a pretty good EP that takes a lot from various Doom and Stoner walks of life with a palatable Hard Rock or Punk Rock overtone in each track offered. Firelord continue to grow and mature with each new release, and this new EP is another example of the steps the band has taken since their full-length effort dropped in 2013. If you enjoy bands like Earthride, Gates Of Slumber, The Sword, or any others mentioned above, Firelord‘s latest is worth checking out!!

The second full-length studio album by Danish Melodic Black Metal one-man band.
Fjorsvartnir is a one-man band hailing from Copenhagen. Band's music is a mix of Epic sound, a little of Enslaved, with Black Metal of the Scandinavian school. After 3 years in the making, the mastermind of this project, Fjorgynn, broth us newest studio spells, dedicated to all worshippers of cold Atmospheric Black Metal art.
Old fans will easily recognize the musical style and soundscapes; However, everything once again got a big boost up the scale; both in the compositions and the sound production of the album. It has always been a goal for Fjorsvartnir to strive higher and aim for a more pure degree of perfection every time a new album is forged. This time around, everything comes together with an even higher level of attention to detail and emotional atmosphere than the previous release. For those new to his music, the album captures the both, primitive side of Black Metal and the Atmospheric side, as well as some Technical sides, with a few surprises in stored. Through the listening, album keeps you guessing what will hit you next; it is very far from a dull listen.
Considering the instruments, there is a lot of them thrown in, from keyboards, acoustic guitars and even female vocals. Guitars are not technical, but they fill the songs great as they give a feel and emotion. Vocals are your typical Black Metal vocals, but they fit here perfectly, as any other type would feel out of place.
Through the eight tracks, it is hard to find a filler; there is no bad song on the album. Standouts are definitely the last three songs, which filled with aggressive guitars riffs, beautiful melodies, atmosphere and vocals. Eight songs and almost 50 minutes, full-filled with unique and gorgeous sounds of Black!

The debut full-length studio album by Serbian Heavy Metal band.
Started in 2004 in Zagreb, Flesh are the 80s revisited Heavy Metal band, and it's done absolutely right!
It's always a pleasure to find an outstanding, genuine band that plays the tunes with conviction, that sounds legitimate and from the heart. Flesh is that band, and although they did not re-invent the whole genre, they are excellent musicians who can definitely play their instruments and write the type of tunes that we, true Metal fans, all loved and cherished 3 decades ago... and definitely still enjoy today.
Flesh is taking influence from Judas Priest and Accept, among other things, but is not trying to sound like a revival band as they strive to add their own sound to their brand of true, classic Heavy Metal music. Support this band because they really do deserve it!
