The second full-length album by Italian Heavy/Power Metal band.
A decent enough Heavy/Power Metal act with the various style. Boasting a more straightforward approach and slightly edged vocals that show no inherent weakness in either the low or high register, "Fallout Diaries" eventually won over with its differentiated composition and a number of catchy mid-tempo tracks.
The "Fallout Diaries" is a concept album based on the assumption that World War III has broken out, with atomic weapons erupting across the face of the earth. Even though most of the band’s songs seem to stagnate a bit during verses, they are inevitably elevated by their varied refrains, most of which are bolstered by solid riffing and here and there a shriek by vocalist Giovanni Vernier.
If you’re looking for a refreshing romp of something that’s neither too heavy nor too light, and have had it with faster music, pick this up!

The fifth full-length studio album by cult Swedish Melodic Death Metal/Death’n’Roll band.
Formed in 2001, shortly after Johan Liiva left Arch Enemy, Hearse is a highlight in the Death'n'Roll Metal sub-genre.
Hearse are plying their wares again; and so they continue to bring us that highly unique brand of Death 'n' Roll that is somewhat similar to, but still quite different from, related acts such as Convulse and later-era Carcass. "Single Ticket To Paradise" is, perhaps, their best album yet, but you won't find too many major changes to their approach, though, as the band pretty much pick up where they left off with "In These Veins"; however, there are a few interesting progressions that deserve mention.
First off, Johan Liiva's characteristic gruff shout sounds better than ever -- it sounds much more brutal, frenetic and angry on this album, and it's awesome. Regarding the guitars, Mattias Ljung's trademark solos are just as excellent as they were before, with their "Rocky", melodic and twangy edge to them; but here is presented a rejuvenated sense of depressive, almost haunting melody in some solos and refrains. Subtended as the melodies are by Hearse's typical fast, Swedish sounding riffs, this creates the perfect balance between despondent beauty and rough brutality. The drumming is also steady, solid, and precise, and we see Mr. Max Thornell incorporating a little more double-bass work than found on previous albums, which is definitely good, as it adds that extra dimension to the music.
Another noticeable difference is the production and recording. Dan Swanö has created one of the best productions here. The guitars, cymbals, tom-toms, and bass drum sound are just incredible: they sound heavy, balanced, and full. Gone are the days of Swanö's thin and trebly productions (cf. Edge Of Sanity's "Purgatory Afterglow" from 1994, Ghostorm's "Frozen in Fire" from 1995, and, especially, Gates Of Ishtar's "The Dawn Of Flames" from 1997 — all the albums are excellent, but the productions left much to be desired).
The release comes with a bonus DVD "Live in Holland", containing 5 live tracks, filmed and edited by Maurice Swinkels (Legion Of The Damned), a massive picture chapter, and the video for the track 
"Sundown", edited by Owe Lingval (Nocturnal Rites, Wolf, Stratovarius).

The fifth and the final full-length album by the cult German Heavy/Power Metal band.
Not as much power metal anymore, but you still can't make the mistake of taking them for anything else than Germans, and there is still speed and catchy parts to go around, not just as much as earlier - not nearly as much. They have a good grasp of Heavy Metal song structures, an ability to write decent, sometimes catchy, riffs and somewhat anthemic and catchy choruses. And this time the album is produced, engineered, mixed and mastered by Sascha Paeth and Miro.
The songs are well written and have plenty of hook. "Breakin' Loose" in particular seems like it could have been a hit on Rock radio. The song has a similar hooky quality that Helloween's "I Want Out" or "Dr. Stein" had. At the same time, "Menergy" is a slightly darker release overall than any of Heavens Gate's past catalog. Apparently "Menergy" is a concept album of sorts. Between each song there is a short intro, most of which are under thirty seconds long. All the short intros are called "Teleshoot" and are apparently part of the story line. Frankly the songs are just enjoyable without knowledge of the storyline.
A solid album that holds a really high quality on through the album, even though there aren't any obvious highlights. Heaven's Gate show a new side of themselves with "Menergy" while still holding on to the sound they have earlier created.
Unfortunately "Menergy" would be Heavens Gate's last album.

The fourth full-length studio album by Spanish Gothic Doom/Death Metal band.
This band has a unique way of shaping their craft of Gothic Doom Metal, with elements of Death Metal. With “Aamamata”, vocalist Josep Brunet incorporates low growls with clean singing. Hoverer this technique is usually not executed well by most bands, who want to introduce heavier elements into generally lighter sounding music, Helevorn manages to maintain a key sound that differentiates from these two vocal styles, and build upon the idea with each individual track.
“Blackened Waves” brings out the melodic, melancholy sound that the album remains neutrally true to. It is one of the three standout tracks of the album, and includes an addictive drum tempo, a roaring choir, and an isolated lead singer whose heart and soul clearly remain focused on the performance, varying from soulful singing to tentative spoken word.
“Forgotten Fields” is a productive journey that has its rightful place on the record, with a good amount of Death Metal influence; complete with gnarly growls and a nice constant riff. The track can quite fittingly be the soundtrack of a desperate, long journey - the hike to the top of a mountain, or a voyage across the seven seas.
“The Path To Puya” has to be the most glorious, beautifully nightmarish track on the record. It spans a total of eight minutes and details an epic journey; hence the title. Beginning slow and sludgy, the varying vocal styles call back and forth, almost like two voices speaking to one another. The listener can only image the battle going on in the person’s head as they are sent on such an agonizing journey, unlimited by time.
The album’s production is flawless, and accentuates each instrument and vocal style. The standout tracks will vary for each listener. The tracks are gracefully structured and reminiscent of dreams and loneliness, bringing the band’s message to the forefront of the listener’s mind. The image is sombre, moody, and full of life to give.
In the large list of contributors, you can find Heike Langhans of Draconian, who sings in a song of the album.
This album is a bit more epic, intense and dark than the previous, "Compassion Forlorn", which had excellent reviews and took the band to play in several European cities, and it will delight to all the Doom Metal fans over the world!!
A delightfully enjoyable record for fans of Moonspell and old Paradise Lost!!

The second full-length studio album by Italian multi-instrumentalist Luca Mazzotta's Dark Rock/Gothic Metal solo project.
Luca Mazzotta is the mind behind this project who, exploring his innermost essence, finds his personal sound in a contamination of acoustic Dark Rock melodies and gloomy sounds.
“Still Bleeding” music encourages you to fall into Helfir’s melancholic world because the mood is either decadent and detached, and you can easily get lost in the hypnotic and passionate music of this band.
It will stand at the deep heart of each listener with alienating atmospheres in the best Antimatter, Anathema and Porcupine Tree tradition.

The second full-length studio album by Italian multi-instrumentalist Luca Mazzotta's Dark Rock/Gothic Metal solo project.
As a solo project, Mazzotta took it upon himself to not only compose everything, but also play it on the album. Which makes this an interesting journey into the mind of a guitarist and a coherent album with a strong identity. Mazzotta’s six-string experience with a Prog Death Metal band surfaces in beautiful and dark passages. Lending themselves to his intuitive arpeggios. While the chords wouldn’t be out of place on a Doom album, their development from guitar to synth and from arpeggio to lick benefit from the Gothic atmosphere. 
A combination of acoustic Dark Rock melodies and gloomy Gothic Metal sounds. “The Human Defeat” music encourages you to fall into Helfir’s melancholic world because the mood is either decadent and detached, and you can easily get lost in the hypnotic and passionate music of this band. It will stand at the deep heart of each listener with alienating atmospheres in the best Antimatter, Anathema and Porcupine Tree tradition.

The debut full-length studio album by Swedish Blackened Post Rock band.
Helga’s debut album draw on many influences, from Swedish Folk to Progressive Metal, Post-Rock to Black Metal to Pop. Distilling this into a single genre is a challenge.
United by singer, Helga Gabriel, the quintet delve into a musical alchemy on their pursuit of darker manifestations. Their debut album summons formidable drumming, spectral strings and chugging riffs into lamentations on mortality and mental health. Chanting psalms amidst birch and pine, her choral voice drifted like birds through an evening mist.
"Wrapped In Mist" is an incredibly strong debut from a very talented group of musicians, and if this is any indication of things to come, then the future is extremely bright for them indeed.

American release of the twelfth full-length studio album by Canadian Hard Rock/Heavy Metal band.
Five years have passed since we heard anything from the Ontario legends, five years later they come back with a monster of an album, “Bastard Of The Blues”!
The album starts with the title track “Bastard of the Blues”, a very energetic opening accompanied by the smooth vocal stylings of lead singer Brian Vollmer. The way he sings sounds as if he is preaching the song as an anthem to the newer generation of music lovers. The sound and quality of the song sounds as if the entire track is an anthem for those who are either being denied what they want or giving the new generation a taste of what this band has always been about. Without any doubt though it does the job and certainly it is indeed an anthem for those who want to punch the sky hard and scream with might. This is truly a song for the new ages and will surely be one of the band’s more anticipated songs for many a new crowd to chant along with.
The second track to follow, “Even Jesus (Wasn’t Loved In His Home Town)", compared to the first track is an old school credibility which reminds even the oldest Metal fan of strong bold riffs, that made you stand on your toes in anticipation. Now we can feel as the band are going back to their original formula, both in the quality of the lead vocals, and the originality of the guitar...
Helix have really created an astounding piece of musical art, not only is it original but it keeps to what Helix have been doing since they first started. Their songs always had that quality about them and this album is no exception. Helix represents a time when Rock music was fun. It's great to see some of the 80's acts still around and putting out solid material!
Helix have made the most comprehensive album in their career. An album that flies past all too quickly simply because there isn't a single dud on here. Helix can still most certainly Rock You!!

American release of the tenth full-length studio album by Canadian Hard Rock/Heavy Metal band.
Helix has been a staple of the Canadian Hard Rock scene for over thirty years, playing every bar, tavern and drinking establishment in every corner of the Great White North. They really hit it big in the 80's with a string of hit singles from the trio of hit albums including "No Rest For The Wicked", "Walkin' The Razor's Edge" and "Long Way To Heaven". Widespread exposure on MTV and Canada's MuchMusic with videos for songs like "Rock You", "Heavy Metal Love", "Make Me Do Anything You Want" and "Deep Cuts The Knife" saw them landing opening slots on major North American tours as well as eventually headlining themselves.
Helix was dealt a crushing blow when long-time guitarist Paul Hackman was killed in a bus accident while the band was on tour in 1992. Not only had they lost a great musician, but also a key songwriter who collaborated with Brian Vollmer to write most of the band's material. The band soldiered on with a virtual revolving door of musicians coming, going and even coming back again. Sole remaining original member Brian Vollmer seems bound and determined to keep this band going and even handles all aspects of the band's career himself.
Album features all seven tracks from their EP “Get Up!” and four new songs. Also, the album includes a re-recorded version of the heavyweight hit single, "Heavy Metal Love", which was featured in the Trailer Park Boy's movie "The Big Dirty". There's some great crunching guitar riffs throughout this album with even a little Saxon influences on tracks like "Eat My Dust" and "Nickels and Dimes". "Cyberspace Girl" sees a little more modern influences with the guitar tone and the vocals and Brian Vollmer still has that dry wit not only with his lyrics but with his vocal delivery. He has a great, strong Rock 'n' Roll voice that's not only powerful and loud but has just enough rasp to give every one of their songs a little "rough around the edges" feel. Truthfully, his voice has never sounded better than it does on this album.
Party-time Rock And Roll is just about the best short and concise description of Helix's music that you can give. Their songs really bring back a lot of memories from the 80's. With any Helix live performance, you just know that you're in for a great high-energy rock show. The songs from "The Power Of Rock And Roll" still have that "let's party" quality to them and it's great to hear some new material from these guys that still holds up against their classic era of the 80's. Their songs are Hard Rock anthems with catchy guitar riffs and driving tempos that grab any audience immediately with their very catchy choruses!
A must for practitioners of cruisin', party-favour, good time Rock 'n' Roll!!

The second full-length studio album by Brazilian Speed/Black Metal one-man band.
The second album by old school maniac Ramon Miranda aka Deathhammer. 
Hell Poison goes for the no frills, throat grabbing Speed Metal Punk and since the start in 2014, accumulated already 10 releases, if you count all the demos and EPs.
If you’ve been immersed into Metal since the 80s, you have surely heard it all before, so no surprises here, however the high octane energy and pure belief in the music, which Deathammer pounds out and shares with the world, can’t fail to impress. The lyrics are totally inspired by 70s – 80s Horror and Biker movies, no social politics and boring crap like that, just loud and honest Speed Metal Punk, which clocks out at 29 minutes and leaves you hungry for more.
Killer raw and uncompromising Black/Speed Metal influenced by Motörhead, Venom, Hellhammer, Bathory, and Celtic Frost!

The first full-length studio album by Brazilian Speed/Black Metal one-man band.
Hell Poison is a project that has been active since 2014 and coming from the scorching and infernal Teresina, in Brazil. Ruled by Deathhammer, Hell Poison simply offers an evil experience of the purest Speed/Black Metal, played with hatred and with clear influences from NWOBHM, amid the more acid riffs.
"Burn In Me" bring anything new - it’s Speed, it’s Black, and it’s fu**ing Metal! We could talk about several possible influences, but they are evident and the quality of the songs on this album speak for themselves. "Give Your Soul To Hell" kicks off this ritual of surrendering the soul to eternal flames and has very good riffs, including more Heavy Metal arrangements.
"Burn With Me" has a very good production and is a great debut album. There is a totally old school atmosphere, and it doesn’t feel forced, which is a good thing. Really respectful work of the Brazilian Black/Heavy Metal worshippers!

Hell's Thrash Horsemen plays some intense and well executed old school Thrash Metal that surely takes its most influences from the fertile US ground of Thrash Metal. Borrowing a thing or two from the early times of Slayer, Metallica and Testament, leads toward some impressive results most often - and this is where these four Russian lads have had a good attempt at to say the least.
After successful gigs in Germany and Italian tour, new "Demo 2012" EP came out as actually a predecessor of the 2nd full-length album, consisted of both demo tracks and brand new song.
In fact, Hell's Thrash Horsemen can be considered as the most hopeful Thrash Metal act coming from Russia, since End Zone or Master. The band has certainly got enough skills to get themselves kicked off on the next level success-wise. Hell's Thrash Horsemen does kick ass pretty nicely indeed!

Excellent start of a young Russian formation living in waters of Bay Area Thrash Metal. Tight and technical old school 80's Thrash Metal with influences of Progressive & Modern Thrash. The clockwork and massive music made with soul and by rules of classics of a genre.

Re-release of second full-lenght album by Ukrainian Thrash/Groove Metal band.
Since its initial release in 2008, musical critics made repeated attempts to delineate clearly the style of Hell:On. Band playing music trying to bind to different genres, including Thrash, Groove, Core and even Death Metal. However, do not worth to be so categorical. Perhaps the material presented on the album should be attributed to some abstract concept such as Post Thrash. And this will be enough to maximize the selected band to designate a style to fit the melody, intelligent harmony, memorable, varied material and sometimes very interesting arrangements. Moreover, due to the mentioned elements, "Re:Born" has its own, well-defined mood and atmosphere.
World reissue performed in a completely new design, with new bonus tracks.
Release includes 8-pages booklet.

For the first time released on CD the debut full-length album by the cult British Heavy Metal band.
Hellanbach's debut album gave pause to many critics who'd been previously incapable or unwilling to see past the band's very obvious debts to the great Van Halen: a slew of pretty decent songs. Indeed, let the first band that hasn't borrowed from another source throw the first stone, lest you take the issue of stylistic recycling in Rock & Roll too seriously and fail to realize that Hellanbach was no more guilty than the next band in this regard. And given the band's unlikely location, how can you fail to appreciate Hellanbach's commendable efforts to bring fun-loving party anthems to the dreary climes of northern England, as evidenced by the energetic highlights "Look at Me", "All Systems Go", "Let's Get This Show on the Road", and "All the Way".
Fueled one and all by Dave Patton's exuberant guitar histrionics, these L.A.-by-way-of-Tyneside Rockers nevertheless pack plenty of punch despite suffering from Neat Studios' notoriously weak production values. In fact, the album's only serious blunder is thankfully saved for last, when Hellanbach takes an ill-advised stroll into camp cabaret territory with a cover of "Everybody Wants to Be a Cat" from Disney's The Aristocats. Rather than measuring up to Van Halen's explosive rendition of "Ice Cream Man" (as was clearly intended), this unconvincing performance - and particularly singer Jimmy Brash's halfhearted stab at mush-mouth cleverness - simply serves to remind listeners that there's only one David Lee Roth, and more importantly, only one Van Halen.
Somewhere in between Diamonhead and Van Halen, this band demonstrates the continuity of Heavy Metal and Hard Rock styles in the NWOBHM era! Digitally remastered album. First time on CD.

For the first time released on CD the second full-length album by the cult British Heavy Metal/NWOBHM band.
Hellanbach has gone down in Rock history as England's half-assed response to the glory of classic Van Halen. Band was facing an uphill battle when it finally released its much-delayed sophomore album "The Big H" in late 1984. In its defense, however, Hellanbach was, like many New Wave of British Heavy Metal hopefuls signed to the Neat Records roster, poorly managed, severely under-produced, and generally left to fend for itself in terms of career guidance once the albums were shipped off the production line. With that in mind, one can better appreciate the Tyneside quartet's humble but enthusiastic forays into California-bred Rock'n'Roll; and, for his part, guitarist Dave Patton came as close as the next guy to nailing the famed Eddie van Halen "brown sound".
"The Big H" is undoubtedly the stuff of diehard N.W.O.B.H.M. collectors, and anyone with lesser convictions is advised to approach with caution. So, if you're a fan of the celebrated New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement, you have to love Hellanbach!!
