CD

Second single from the German Speed/Power Metal band.
This single for upcoming "Dark Assault" album features two exclusive b-sides and re-working of two songs. The Iron Savior songs "I've Been To Hell" and "Never Say Die" feature the already traditional band-style: powerful, fast, with Piet Sielck's characteristic voice. Single version of song "I've Been to Hell" misses some lyrics parts (before solo), Edit version of song "Never Say Die" misses intro part. Both songs have slightly different mix than on album "Dark Assault".
The two cover-versions are good ones, too, Judas Priest's "The Hellion - Electric Eye" and Krokus' "Headhunter" (where bassist Jan-S. Eckert has taken over a good part of the vocals).
The gem for every fan of band and Power Metal in general!

Debut EP by Chilean Heavy/Speed Metal band.
Chile just won't stop delivering the goods with class, passion and a good dose of South Arerican magic. Iron Spell play high quality old school Heavy Metal. The release sounds great, and you're not missing out on any of the instruments, nothing is drowned out. The vocals are not really distinctive, but they're not bad either as they fit the music. Sometimes there's a backing vocal with a higher pitched vocal, but whether that is the voice of lead singer.
This is a really solid piece of material, and it will probably pave way for the band! If you like traditional Heavy Metal, then you gotta check out Iron Spell, and keep your eyes on them in the future, it definitely smells like something big is cooking in Chile!!
Essential for fans of: Accept, Iron Maiden and Judas priest!!!

Debut full-length album by Spanish Pagan Black Metal band.
Raw and melodic Viking Black Metal from Barcelona. Very cool, Melodic Black Metal, which evokes images of cold lands and long journeys. The production of this record is the thing that makes it. It has a rawness to it, most noticeable on tracks such as "Chaotic Chasm", whilst having a much more polished production, which means it, will be more accessible to those outside of the Black Metal Underground. For a first release, this is very good. It's clear that this band have already begun to establish their own sound within the Black Metal scene, and in all seriousness, it is a great sound. This will appeal to fans of Black Metal, in both its raw and more accessible forms, and it may even garner attention from those outside the Black Metal scene to some extent. The framework for a list of solid releases is there, and with any luck, the next album will be even better than this one.

The second full-length studio album by Croatian guitarist-virtuoso and his band.
One of the best young guitarists in Croatia, Ivan "Miha" Mihaljević was born in Zagreb in 1986. So far he's first and foremost known for his association with Hard Rock band Hard Time, where he's been an associated member for a number of years - which amongst many highlights lead to Mihaljevic getting to play at the Wacken Open Air festival in 2005. Late in 2006 he became a full member of the band.
His reputation as a talented musician grew quickly and early on in his career he opened for Paul Gilbert on one of his European tours, and has played on stage with the legendary Les Paul at the Iridium Jazz Club in New York City.
Mihaljevic also spreads his music talents widely by collaborating with other artists and running his own solo project, Side Effects. If you are a fan of Guitar Rock and are looking for the “next big thing” you should seriously check out Ivan Mihaljevic & Side Effects. In 2008 he started contemplating releasing solo material, and his solo debut "Sandcastle" was issued in August 2008. "Destination Unknown", that was released in 2010, is the next step in solo career of musician. Hailing from Croatia, Mihaljevic is well respected by his music peers but still not well known outside his country. "Destination Unknown" may be the first step in bring Mihaljevic’s music to the masses.
On "Destination Unknown", Ivan Mihaljevic displays a vast guitar repertoire from Classical to Metal and parades influences from Satriani to Malmsteen. Once can find no flaw in his playing, which is always passionate and enthusiastic whether laying down heavy riffs or delicate acoustic pieces. Ivan also has a deft touch with the keyboards, using them effectively and sparingly. He also sings lead vocals and does a fine job. His has a versatile voice and the makings of a solid front man. His songwriting skills are evident, but despite his massive presence the listener gets the sense that this is a “band” album, not a solo effort. Both bassist Majkl Jagunic and drummer Alen Frljak are key to the music, working well together as a rhythm section and stepping to the front when the music calls for it. This trio is definitely talented.
“Instant Star (Add Water)” opens the album on a guitar driven high, presenting a tongue-in-cheek view on the state of the modern music”. Great vocals, intense bass and drums and a brilliant guitar solo make this one a real butt-kicker. An immediate gear and tone change hits you with “The Curse” – a mellow acoustic Rock track with soft and clear vocals, good lyrics and a great bass line that builds to a heavier second half. Paul Gilbert / Steve Vai guitars open up the mostly instrumental and somewhat goofy “Choosh Pies” – the band seems to really be having fun on this track. Expressive vocals and heartfelt emotionalism fill what could be a “green” anthem in “Post-Apocalyptic Images”. Amazing guitars fill the massive instrumental “Dreamscapes” and prove Mihaljevic to be a “guitar god” in the making. Ivan sounds very much like Zak Stevens on the Savatage-TSO sounding “Shadows”, a simple guitar and vocal driven song. “The Pirate Song” opens the second half of the album and has a very Progressive Metal feel to it, as well as a massive dose of Satriani. This track gives Majkl Jagunic and Alen Frljak a real chance to shine as they provide a very bouncy and upbeat rhythm line to a drive a fine instrumental. The amount of talent and spirit of the performances easily makes up for any shortcomings. A long instrumental opening powers “Sorry Pt. 1”. This track is filled with very expressive guitars and bass, and features a few interesting tempo changes. Good old school vibes (and a healthy portion of Hammond organ) propel the Hard Rocking “Your Plane Flew Away” into Hard Rock bliss of the early 80s. Guest vocalist Marko Osmanovic sounds very much like a young Ian Gillan further adding to the old school sound. A beautiful and soft passage followed by only a handful of words comprises the elegiac “Sorry Pt. II”. The simplicity and grace of this short song may even bring a tear to the eye. The album wraps with the truly awe-inspiring and stirringly powerful “Hollow Wish”. This final track really displays Mihaljevic’s vocal and song writing ability, and features some of the finest guitar work on the album.
If you like melodic guitar driven Rock, do not miss this album! Ivan Mihaljevic will be a force on the Rock scene for many years to come. Despite many obvious influences of the greats, Mihaljevic manages to make music that is new, fresh and unique – and delivers it all with with technical excellence. With a little luck, he may become a household name well beyond his native Croatia. Very highly recommended!!

The third full-length studio album by Australian Funeral Doom/Death Metal band.
This is the first band's album officially released on a CD.
Two songs that are 48 minutes in length, longer than 20 minutes each, are filled to the brim with heavy guitar riffs and the sounds of a dreary piano, framed by a solo violin, which makes Ivan's music so special and unique. This is a sound of a funeral orchestra playing on the edge of a dug grave, where the withered autumn leaves fall.
However sad and depressing songs are, the melodies are intricate and beautiful, mimicking a classical approach to composition. They have depth, and within this depth are many melodies playing at once, but each one compliments the other. There’s piano and violin, which aren’t limited to specific sections. They play throughout the entire album with the guitars, bass, and drums. This is what really layers the music so much and makes it sound classical. Just because it's classical sounding, doesn’t mean that it’s Neoclassical. It’s not fast or shredding at all. It’s mid-paced, Doom-laden Death Metal, and it gets the job done. The overall atmosphere of the music is very depressing, but serene at the same time. 
A must-have for fans of classical Atmospheric Doom/Death Metal!

The tenth full-length album by the cult American Heavy/Power Metal band.
Jag Panzer troops, stand at attention! 7 years in darkness from this venerable American band of soldiers eventually led into the light with the release of "The Scourge Of The Light". Jag Panzer were one of the great American bands from the 80s with their classic "Ample Destruction", still, after all these years, being just about one of ours favorite Metal albums. And now...they're on the upsurge, again.
This is just a really solid album. Harry Conklin sounds good, singing at a midrange with some serious vitriol pumped into him. Mark Briody and Chris Lasegue on guitars are the real stars here, with their seemingly endless barrage of Maidenesque riffs, winding, multi-faceted solos and blazing leads. The drums from Rikard Stjernquist are militaristic and powerful – just like Jag Panzer's always should be. That was always one of the strongest points of the band; those pumping, marching drum beats that sounded like a thousand soldiers right outside your door. This effect is in full use here.
Jag Panzer in recent years have stuck to a fairly similar formula – mostly traditional rockers mixed with experimental tracks – and this album does not diverge from that formula. It's actually just about the best they've done while adhering to it, with the most interesting tunes and the most confident, ballsy performances. The songwriting here is stripped down just enough to allow for clarity and strength, but still complex enough that the songs reveal more layers with each listen.
Stand at rest, troops. The mission is finished. It has been a successful one. This is Heavy Metal the way the Gods intended. Well done gentleman! Well done!!

First re-release of the sixth full-length studio album by legendary American Progressive Heavy/Power Metal band.
One of the most underrated Power Metal bands of all time, without any doubt! So many years in Power Metal, these guys play truly great music and above all they play real Heavy Metal!! And this album is a bible of US Power Metal of the 80s!!!
This CD is a smash, a fatal blow to all those who never tried to give a chance to this great band. Now they have to do that. Band made a heavy, aggressive, groovy yet melodic album, with some of the best riffs ever written in the US Power Metal genre. This album is more Progressive than the band's previous work, and it is a deadly bullet in the heart of all those who say that Metal is dead. Metal will never die 'cause with bands like Jag Panzer, Metal has nothing to fear!

Re-release of the debut full-length album by the most famous female Hard Rock/Shred guitarist-virtuoso.
“Above Below And Beyond” saw Jennifer’s garner major press attention in the world’s leading guitar and Rock press. Home to devastating technique, a unique touch and individuality the album is rightly regarded as one of the premier guitar instrumental offerings ever recorded.
The buzz on Jennifer Batten rose from the guitar underground, and the guitar magazines promptly began chronicling her savvy musicianship and highly original approach to the electric guitar in print. At one point Batten was in 6 different bands, playing everything from straight ahead Rock, to Metal, Fusion, and Funk. A major turning point came when she was selected from over one hundred guitarists to play in Michael Jackson's highly skilled band which toured the world for one and a half years playing for over four and a half million people. Jennifer wasted no time after the “Bad” Tour's grand finale, diving into work on her own album with renowned producer (and Stevie Wonder guitarist) Michael Sembello. The stunning results can be heard on “Above Below And Beyond”, the title appropriately describing the interesting diversity within. With this debut release, the world at large learned what all the excitement was about.
On the album Jennifer comments, “Above Below and Beyond” was my debut record in which I explore a lot of different musical directions. I began recording this in the 80’s when all the Hair bands were raging, and guitar players were all concerned with speed and flash. Michael Sembello of the hit song “Maniac” fame produced it”.
Jennifer is one of the highest profile guitarists in the world!

Re-release of the third full-length album by the most famous female guitarist-virtuoso.
Critically acclaimed as one of the most creative, imaginative and talented guitarists on the planet and always at the forefront of technology Jennifer Batten returns for her third solo album in the captivating sonic tapestry of “Whatever”.
The album is described in style by Jennifer herself as “Guitronica”. The album possesses plenty of guitar, but “Whatever” is heavily multi textured with a plethora of sounds and vocal samples, and has a humorous thread throughout. The music is also influenced by various ethnic cultures such as the African vibe in "Off the Deep End".
While she's best known for her stints alongside Pop and Rock giants, namely Michael Jackson and Jeff Beck, six-string shredder Jennifer Batten has issued sporadic solo releases along the way, such as 2008's "Whatever". And it turns out that it was her work with the latter notable gentleman that has considerably rubbed off on her musically, as Whatever sounds like a direct descendent of such latter day Electro-Rock Beck releases as 1999's "Who Else!" and 2001's "You Had It Coming". And perhaps this shouldn't come as much of a surprise, as it was precisely these two Beck studio efforts that Batten played on (and even lent a hand in songwriting). Beck-like guitar phrasing is certainly apparent throughout (especially on such ditties as "Ass Whoopin" and "Off the Deep End"), with a few curveballs along the way, including a pair of tracks that sound comparable to Laurie Anderson's early-'80s work ("Cupid's Arrow" and "Inner Journey").
On the albums creation Jennifer comments, “Originally I started writing a lot of these tracks for Jeff Beck when I was in his band. My third CD has been long overdue so in the end I'm happy to have these tracks for myself! He got me interested in Electronica and I'm very happy to have that as a new direction with all the amazing inspiring sounds available today.”
Jennifer describes the album as "'sort of' instrumental. There are vocal samples telling stories in most songs, but not the standard song type lyrics and melodies. I played and programmed most of the CD with the exception of having a few guests".
Jennifer is one of the highest profile guitarists in the world!

The second full-length album by Brazilian AOR/Melodic Rock guitarist and singer.
Joey Summer was born in Rio De Janeiro, came from a Greek background, and this album carries a lot of influence from West Coast USA upbeat Rock.
“One Bite From Paradise” is very much an album of two halves. We’ve got the first half which starts with the intro, a spoken word introduction over some atmospheric keyboards which segues nicely into the first track, “One Bite From Paradise”. It’s all very upbeat, and harder Rock with some good solos and vocals from all involved. Then we have the second half, which strays very much into ballad territory starting from “Addicted To Your Love”. At this point it starts going very eighties. Then the last two songs – “The Prize Of Love” and “No-One’s Gonna Hurt Me Anymore” - pick up the energy of the first four songs. Midway through the album, a plaintive piano opening with a Pop based approach to the song "From Miles Away" is a well-placed break from the energetic songs that precede it and has thoughtful vocal harmonies beefing up the chorus. There are awesome guitar solos, and Joey does sing well. Extremely admirable that Joey Summer covered a lot of the instruments himself. The album features again the great songwriter and keyboadist Fredrik Bergh (Street Talk) in the song “Heaven To Earth” penned by Fredrik and co-written in partnership with Joey Summer especially for this release. Also the album brings another two especial guests: Frédéric Slama and Tommy Denander (Alice Cooper, David Coverdale, Paul Stanley) who also played all the instruments in the track “No One’s Gonna Hurt Me Anymore“, penned by Frédéric Slama and Sarah Fontaine from Chasing Violets.
So if you are after a something AORish with a bit of a story and smooth guitar work, this album will definitely be of interest!

Debut full-length solo album by the leader and vocalist of legendary American Soft Metal band Bon Jovi.
“Young Guns II” is a 1990 western film and the sequel to “Young Guns” (1988). It stars Emilio Estevez, Kiefer Sutherland, Lou Diamond Phillips, Christian Slater, and features William Petersen as Pat Garrett. Jon Bon Jovi also made a cameo appearance in the film as one of the prisoners in the pit with Doc and Chavez.
This CD includes songs from and inspired by the movie “Young Guns II”. Emilio Estevez originally approached Bon Jovi to ask him for permission to include the song "Wanted Dead Or Alive" on the soundtrack. Bon Jovi did not feel the song’s lyrics were appropriate; however, he was inspired by the project and resolved to write a new song for the film that would be more in keeping with the period and setting. He quickly wrote the song "Blaze of Glory", and performed it on acoustic guitar in the New Mexico desert for Estevez and John Fusco. This was the first time that "Blaze of Glory" was heard.
Music videos were made for the first two singles, "Blaze of Glory" and "Miracle", and also the fourth (promo) single "Dyin' Ain't Much of a Livin", but not for the third single "Never Say Die".
The album featured guests such as Elton John, Little Richard, and Jeff Beck.
The album peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and No. 2 on the UK Albums Chart. “Blaze of Glory” was awarded a Golden Globe. It also received Academy Award and Grammy nominations.

Japanese edition ohe fifth full-length albums by cult American Neo-Prog/Progressive Rock keyboardist Jordan Rudess of Dream Theater and Dixie Dregs fame.
Many other musicians perform on tracks on this album including Terry Bozzio (Frank Zappa, Missing Persons), Steve Morse (Dixie Dregs, Deep Purple), and Dream Theater bandmate John Petrucci, who also worked with Rudess on Liquid Tension Experiment.
On "Feeding The Wheel", Jordan Rudess has modernized the keyboard sounds pioneers like E. Power Biggs, Rick Wakeman, Gary Wright, Alan Hovhaness, and Keith Emerson broke ground with. The latter-day third ivory player in Dream Theater takes Gary Wright's Dream Weaver a step or two into the twilight zone. "Headspace" is a nice moody piece, kind of like Edgar Froese outside of Kraftwerk with more activity in the mix. "Quantum Soup" features Steve Morse of the Dregs on guitar solo with Terry Bozzio of Missing Persons playing percussion, the first of eight numbers the ex-Zappa drummer provides the bottom for. Track two has its own evolution, from Jazz/Progressive Rock to a bassy Funk eight minutes into the tune, with the 11 minutes of "Quantum Soup" melting nicely into the six minutes of "Shifting Sands".
The spaced notations in the CD booklet are vaguely familiar, that aforementioned Dream Weaver concept a simplified version of this. "We all feed wheels that carry our hopes and dreams to another day" is the sentiment written by Rudess, and those thoughts are unleashed in music which will appeal to fans of Dream Theater and Emerson, Lake & Palmer and those who feel Steely Dan is too mainstream. "Revolving Door" could be the theme to Hawaii Five-O turned upside down; strange vocals invade for a few moments on this otherwise instrumental enterprise. The title track can be a bit much except for the staunchest fans of Progressive Rock, over seven minutes of the piano runs Jordan Rudess learned at Juilliard embellished with high-end production and superb drums. For those who thought Emerson, Lake & Palmer's "The Nutrocker" wasn't energetic enough, explore this disc. "Dreaming in Titanium" is like some prelude to music by Prince, while "Center of the Sphere" is part of the artist's quest, the "search for the ultimate sound" that Rudess speaks of.
For an effortlessly enjoyable and mentally replenishing keyboard music experience, look no further than "Feeding The Wheel", a record that soars, swims and does musical marathons that seem superhuman to those back on safe ground watching. And for a demonstration of Rudess' confident skills within more of a band framework, check out Dream Theater in a very active 2002, as well as his important role on the next David Bowie album.
CD comes with OBI and additional Japanese booklet.

Two classic remastered albums of the legendary British Heavy Metal band in one set!

"Stained Class" is the fourth full-length album of the band. This is the only Judas Priest album to feature songwriting by all five members of the band. "Stained Class" showcased a more streamlined songwriting style while not compromising on the band's trademark Heavy Metal riffs. The production is crisper, clearer, and cleaner than any of their preceding albums. Following this album the band broke its songwriting team down to Rob Halford, K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton, with occasional contributions solely by Tipton. Several years after its release "Stained Class" was the subject of negative attention due to the infamous 1990 civil action brought against the band by the family of a teenager, James Vance, who entered into a suicide pact with his friend Ray Belknap after allegedly listening to "Better by You, Better Than Me" on December 23, 1985. Belknap succeeded in killing himself, and Vance was left critically injured after surviving a self inflicted gunshot to the facial area. The suit alleged that Judas Priest recorded subliminal messages on the song that said "do it." The suit was eventually dismissed. The song was originally written and performed by the band Spooky Tooth.
In 2005, "Stained Class" was ranked number 307 in Rock Hard magazine's book of The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time.
Remastered re-edition includes two bonus tracks!

"Ram It Down" is the eleventh full-length album of the band.
In 1986, Judas Priest intended to release a double album entitled "Twin Turbos" of which half would consist of lighter, more commercial Hard Rock, and the other half would be heavier and less synth-driven. Columbia Records was resistant to the double album concept, and the project was ultimately split into two separate releases, 1986's Platinum selling "Turbo", and "Ram It Down". At least three songs – "Hard As Iron", "Love you to Death" and "Monsters of Rock" were written for the "Twin Turbos project". The title track "Ram It Down" can be traced even further back. As Rob Halford noted, ""Ram It Down" is a harder song, from the "British Steel" time. It also could have roots as far back as the demo version of "On the Run" from "Point Of Entry" which had "different lyrics, Speed Metal pace, and spit-fire fast vocals". In other words, "Ram It Down" was clearly a patchwork collection of songs - old and new.
This is the last album to feature long time drummer Dave Holland and the last studio album produced by long-time collaborator Tom Allom – who returned to produce a 2009 live album.
In any case, major changes were coming, as Halford, Tipton, co-lead guitarist KK Downing and bassist Ian Hill readied themselves to dismiss long-serving drummer Dave Holland and producer Tom Allom in order to escalate their metallic renaissance on 1990’s absolutely jaw-dropping "Painkiller" If nothing else, "Ram It Down" marks the end of an era with class and dignity!
The album earned gold certification (500,000 sales) on 18 July 1988.
Remastered re-edition includes two bonus tracks!
