The first full-length studio album by Italian Symphonic Power Metal band.
What was not so long ago known as the bombastic Symphonic Power Metal figurehead - Rhapsody, then slowly became the not as good Rhapsody Of Fire (the name changed because of a now well-known copyright issue), and split in 2011 to become two distinct bands: Rhapsody Of Fire (Alex Staropoli, Fabio Lione), and Luca Turilli's Rhapsody.
Created by Luca Turilli after his departure from Rhapsody Of Fire, the album considered by band as their own "Rhapsody's 11th album". Turilli likes to label his music as "Cinematic Metal" - a Rhapsody's legacy since the band (allegedly) invented "Hollywood Metal" in the 90s. And "Ascending To Infinity" is precisely that: Cinematic Metal. It starts with an introductory track featuring Electronica, a badass voice-over telling you to sit back and prepare to be amazed (like in any self-(dis)respecting awful movie trailer), and a choir singing random Latin verses. Wow! The self-titled track "Ascending to Destiny", "Dark Fate of Atlantis" and "Excalibur" are here to testify that we are unmistakably dealing here with a true Rhapsody album!! Huge piles of cheese, frantic guitar and keyboards sections (even bass in "Dark Fate of Atlantis"), exhilarating rhythm changes, and of course choirs, choirs, choirs, and then some more choirs!!! Grandiloquence, grandiose, grand-everything!!!! Haters gonna hate, lovers gonna explode!!!!!
Not everything is the traditional material you can expect from this band however. "Dante's Inferno" and especially "Tormento E Passione", both deliver darker vibes we are not accustomed to hear in Rhapsody efforts. This track offers whirls of piano keys, a beautiful man-woman duet and an outstanding finale in which the excellent vocalist Alessandro Conti (Trick Or Treat) truly shows his mastery. He also shines in "Luna" (Alessandro Safina cover), an almost smooth Jazz song very enjoyable but which also feels a bit out of place in this album.
But fear not, for the Hollywoodesque and catchy “Clash of the Titans quickly” puts the album right back on track, and the 16-minute long ending track "Of Michael the Archangel and Lucifer's Fall" concludes the experience with an epic tale divided in three chapters. Haters hate, lovers go boom!
It seems the 2011 split-up was the brightest idea for Rhapsody. Although "Ascending To Infinity" still lacks a bit of the catchiness and frenzy fans of the band may rightfully expect, it remains a rock-solid effort with very good moments and purely stellar musicianship!! Pretty good job!!!
It is the only album to feature Alex Holzwarth on drums, as he subsequently decided to focus on his duties in Rhapsody Of Fire.

The second full-length album by Ukrainian Symphonic Funeral Doom/Death Metal one-man band.
The new work by the Ukrainian project continues the ideas of the debut album. However, this time, the album is divided into two epic tracks.
Unleashing over 50 minutes of crushing Symphonic/Atmospheric Funeral Doom Metal, “On the Other Side of Life” delivers waves of brilliant atmospheric passages filled with crushing Doom riffs and proficient tempo changes.
The first part of this release comes under the 21-minute long “Grey Heaven Fall”, a highly atmospheric piece that nicely sets the mood. While there are not vocals in this release, the heavy riffs and powerful ambiance makes you forget about this and allow you to enjoy the release without even noticing.
If you thought the first song was long, the album title track “On the Other Side of Life” is even more grandiose with its 33-minutes of weeping guitars and punishingly demoralizing Doom! This song is comparable to the works of Mourning Beloveth and Mournful Congregation, but with an additional splash of Atmospheric elements. As the song progresses, the atmosphere continues to get bleaker and darker, making it perfect for this type of release.
Instrumental Doom/Death Metal by Luna, melodic, with a touch of Symphonic and Epic, perfectly serves as a soundtrack to the fantasies giving birth to new mythical worlds in the gloom of the night. This two-song monumental release hits all the right notes in terms of the genre and establishes the band as one of the premiere Atmospheric/Symphonic Funeral Doom Metal acts. If you like Shape Of Despair, Mourning Beloveth, etc., but could do without the vocals, Luna is a great alternative!

Take a band like In Flames, mix it up with some Children Of Bodom, put more melodic leads into it and less noise, and you'll have a pretty good idea of what Lunarsea are doing here. This might not be the most original piece of music but at least these guys do their job quite good.
The album sounds really good, the production is quite tight and you can hear clearly each instrument, the vocals have the perfect amount of notoriety, neither buried in the back, nor up front in your face. The vocal department did a wonderful job in the record, both harsh and clean vocals sound really good.
A very good start for Lunarsea, which paves roads for a great continuity and an upward course. Lunarsea have a long way to climb if they want to achieve success, but needless to say they had a right start with this album!

The seventh full-length album by Russian Black/Death Metal band.
Be prepared for a killer satanic Black/Death Metal with Ambient passages. An album of hateful, dark, transcendental Black/Death Metal. The aforementioned dark ambient elements thread through the album, imbuing proceedings with atmosphere (while also assisting in terms of creating a sense of continuity between the songs).
“Totenkränze” shows deepness of band's compositional skill. Use of different vocals approaches, very specific guitar riffing. All this goes with a furious rhythm section working like a machine. Gunner has also recorded bass lines for this record, to make it more in the Lycanthropy vein.
Gruesome Black/Death Metal masterpiece featuring sick Ambient touches!

Second re-release on CD of the debut and only full-length album by Danish Death Metal band.
"A Serenade Of Agony" is the classic Death Metal album featuring members from Invocator and Dan Swanö of on vocals!
Maceration was a project of two Invocator members (Jakob Schultz and Jacob Hansen) and Lars Bangholt (Iconoclasm). On their debut "A Serenade Of Agony" Dan Swanö (Edge Of Sanity) did the vocals using his famous pseudonym Day Disyraah. Swanö left the band after the CD was released. 
Maceration was only a side project, but at least the members knew how to handle their instruments and how to write some very cool old school Death Metal riffs. And Dan Swanö never really sounded as good as a Death Metal vocalist as on this album. He sounds so brutal, that you hardly recognize him. 
Punishment 18 Records used the original cover art again for this re-release, and the one which got used in the second edition is also included in the booklet here. Re-edition features 12 rare tracks from live recordings, rehearsals and demos, as well as 16-page booklet with rare photos, flyers, etc.

The ninth full-length studio album by legendary American Groove/Nu Metal band.
The album is the first to be credited as completely co-written by all the band's members since "The More Things Change..." (1997). "Catharsis" saw the band stylistically returning to the Nu Metal-inspired sound of their previous albums, "The Burning Red" (1999) and "Supercharger" (2001).
"Catharsis" is the final Machine Head studio album to feature drummer Dave McClain and guitarist Phil Demmel, who both left the band in late September 2018 over their dislike with the album's direction and conflicts with Robb Flynn. Phil Demmel has publicly admitted his distaste for the album in many interviews after he left the band.
A significant proportion of the band's fanbase reacted negatively to the album online. As a result, Robb Flynn responded to the criticism in his single "Do Or Die", released in 2019.
"Catharsis" would go on to become Machine Head's best international chart debut, debuting at number three in Germany, number 10 in Australia, and number 12 in the UK.

The second full-length album by Portuguese Thrash Metal band.
The sunny country along the Atlantic coast isn't that much known from Heavy Metal, of course with some exceptions like Moonspell.
The music band play can be best described as Thrash Metal with some parallels to the earlier Sepultura and some German Thrash Metal roots. The vocals have some Death Metal influences, but not real growls. But Vieira keeps the vocals deep and rough, which fits the sound very good.
"Sounds Evolution" comes with 10 songs which are all quite good. The tracks aren't build up too complicated. They are all kept more simple and straight-forward. This makes the entire album easy accessable and entertaining. It is not the musicial complexity which is the joy of this record. It's the unleashed enegry of the youth which makes this album a cool one. It's good headbanging stuff.
The production is on a good level to. It provides the songs with the power they deserve. In addition the mix is done quite well too.
All in all "Sounds Evolution" is a good Thrash Metal album from a band which you should have on your radar. It's worth to give it a try!!

The tenth full-length album by the cult German Melodic Hard Rock/Heavy Metal band.
Two and a half decades have passed since an album named "Night Of Passion" has taken the German scene by storm. It was one of the superb moments for the Hard Rock/Metal band of Mad Max. After the band's comeback in 1999 they have been quite a live show. "Another Night Of Passion", consisting of the band's original lineup, is based on the same vein of their old classic and can be described as a sort of continuance to the old prominence of the 80s.
Unlike some of their earlier releases, Mad Max played hard ball on this album. Through the tracklist of eleven tracks it was all around German Hard Rock and Heavy Metal in the vein of early 80s Accept blended with an American flavor. Without creating atmosphere using keyboards and other modern effects, the material was delivered straight up and with the kind of force that only 80s bands can come up with. Even though some might view this as a downfall or a shortcoming, the material played out quiet the same. Mad Max, next to with their dominant lead vocalist/guitarist Michael Voss, didn't seem to intend to write compositions out of the ordinary therefore everything will sound rather similar in orientation.
"Another Night Of Passion" is a good example of an album that is on a constant move with no withdrawals. Nearly the entire tracklist is a mid tempo of nonstop action. The songs are accessible and easy to comprehend; some are mere Rock anthems, under the same known formula that created most of the hits of the genre.
Yes, for new listeners they would probably sound like an old cliché but in the end of the day, and old school fans would probably will back you up on this, Mad Max have the experience on how to Rock it right and through the night!!

The sixth full-length studio album by legendary American Pop singer.
On this album, Madonna collaborated with Dallas Austin, Babyface, Dave "Jam" Hall, and Nellee Hooper, deciding to move into a more R&B direction. Madonna used this direction in a bid to soften her image following the critical and commercial backlash she faced after releasing several sexually explicit projects in the previous two years, notably the "Erotica" album and the "Sex" book. The huge success of the soundtrack single "I'll Remember" earlier that year marked the beginning of this transformation, and Madonna used "Bedtime Stories" to continue it.
A Pop, R&B and Hip Hop album, "Bedtime Stories" explores lyrical themes of love, sorrow and romance, but with a toned-down, less sexual approach. Critics described the album as "autobiographical", as the song "Human Nature" addresses the controversy surrounding her previous projects. Madonna also worked with Icelandic singer Björk on the track "Bedtime Story", as she wanted to explore the British club musical scene, where genres such as Dub had been growing in popularity.
The album yielded two US Billboard Hot 100 top-three Singles, "Secret" and "Take a Bow"; the latter stayed at number one for seven weeks on the chart. Its other singles, "Bedtime Story" and "Human Nature", were both top-ten hits on the UK Singles Chart. By the end of 1995, Madonna was named the Billboard Hot 100 Female Artist of the Year.
"Bedtime Stories" was nominated for Best Pop Album at the 38th Grammy Awards. The album debuted and peaked at number three on the US Billboard 200 and was certified triple Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It also became her fifth number-one album in Australia and charted within the top-five in many other countries, including Canada, France, Germany and the United Kingdom. "Bedtime Stories" has sold an estimated eight million copies worldwide.
CD includes 12-page fold-out cover and comes with blue tray.

The tenth full-length studio album by legendary American Pop singer.
“Confessions On A Dance Floor” is a complete departure from previous studio album "American Life" (2003). The album includes influences of 1970s and 1980s Disco, as well as modern-day club music. Musically, the album is structured like a DJ's set. The songs are sequenced and blended together so that they are played continuously without any gaps. The title arrived from the fact that the album track listing consists of light-hearted and happy songs in the beginning, and progresses to much darker melodies and lyrics describing personal feelings and commitments. Songs on the album sample and reference the music of other dance-oriented artists like ABBA, Donna Summer, Pet Shop Boys, the Bee Gees and Depeche Mode, as well as Madonna's 1980s output.
Four singles were released from the album. "Hung Up", the lead single, topped the charts in a total of 41 countries. According to Billboard, it was the most successful dance song of the decade. It was followed by "Sorry" which became Madonna's twelfth number-one single in the United Kingdom. "Get Together" and "Jump" were released as the third and fourth singles respectively, both becoming top-ten hits in several countries.
With the "Confessions On A Dance Floor" era, Madonna broke several world records and the album resuscitated her music sales and popularity, after the critical and commercial disappointment of "American Life". Most critics calling it a return to form for Madonna and ranking it alongside her best albums.

The fifth full-length studio album by legendary American Pop singer.
The first album of Madonna's career to bear Parental Advisory label, "Erotica" was banned in several Asian countries, such as China and Singapore. The album was released simultaneously with Madonna's first book publication "Sex", a coffee table book containing explicit photographs featuring the singer, and marked her first release under Maverick, her own multimedia entertainment company.
Ten years after signing her first recording contract with Sire Records, Madonna founded her own multimedia entertainment company, Maverick, consisting of a record company (Maverick Records), a film production company (Maverick Films), and associated music publishing, television broadcasting, book publishing and merchandising divisions. The deal was a joint venture with Time Warner and paid Madonna an advance of $60 million. It gave her 20% royalties from the music proceedings, one of the highest rates in the industry, equalled at that time only by Michael Jackson's royalty rate established a year earlier with Sony. She stated: "It started as a desire to have more control. There's a group of writers, photographers, directors and editors that I've met along the way in my career who I want to take with me everywhere I go. I want to incorporate them into my little factory of ideas. I also come in contact with a lot of young talent that I feel entrepreneurial about". The first two projects from the venture were her fifth studio album, "Erotica", and a coffee table book of photographs featuring Madonna, entitled "Sex".
"Erotica" is a concept album about sex and romance, incorporating her alter ego "Mistress Dita", inspired by actress Dita Parlo. Some of its songs also take on a more confessional tone, influenced by the loss of two of Madonna's close friends to AIDS.
Musically, the album mixes Dance, Electronica, Hip Hop, Deep House, Ambient Techno and R&B, and incorporates elements from classic Disco, modern House, Techno and New Jack Swing.
Commercially, the album was less successful than Madonna's previous albums, peaking at number 2 on the US Billboard 200, becoming her first studio album not to top the chart since her debut. Internationally, it topped the charts in Australia, Finland, and France, and peaked within the top five of several other countries such as Canada, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. 
Somewhat overlooked at the time of its release in part due to the backlash surrounding the "Sex" book, Erotica has been retrospectively considered one of "The 100 Best Albums of the 1990s" by Slant Magazine and one of the most revolutionary albums of all time by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Many critics have since noted the album's influence on the works by female artists such as Janet Jackson and Beyoncé.
In the United States, "Erotica" debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 on November 7, 1992, with first week sales of 167,000 copies. It was eventually certified Double Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipments of two million units. In Canada, the album debuted at number seven on the RPM Albums Chart on November 7, 1992. It reached a peak of number four on November 21, 1992. The album was present for a total of 38 weeks on the chart, and was certified two times Platinum by Music Canada (MC) for shipments of 200,000 copies.
"Erotica" performed well in Latin America, mainly in countries where she toured for the first time. In Argentina, the album received four-times Platinum from the Cámara Argentina de Productores de Fonogramas y Videograma (CAPIF) for shipments of 240,000 copies. Similarly, in Mexico, "Erotica" achieved sales of 250,000 units according to Billboard. The album received a Gold certification from Pro-Música Brasil, denoting shipments of 100,000 units. Actual sales in Brazil stand at 180,000 copies, as of October 1993.
Across Europe, "Erotica" sold 1.5 million copies in the first week and topped the European Top 100 Albums chart. In the United Kingdom, the album debuted at number two on the UK Albums Chart on October 24, 1992. It remained at its peak at number two for three weeks. The album was certified two times Platinum on June 1, 1993, by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for shipments of 600,000 copies. In France, the album debuted at number one on the French Albums Chart on October 28, 1992, staying there for two weeks, then descending the chart, selling a total of 250,000 copies by May 1993. In Germany, the album reached the top five on the Media Control Charts and was certified Gold for shipments of 250,000 copies. In Italy, "Erotica" sold 250,000 copies in its presales. In Sweden, the album debuted at its peak of number six and spent only seven weeks on the chart. Similarly, in Switzerland, "Erotica" peaked number five and was certified Gold by IFPI Switzerland. It also received a Platinum certification in Spain and sold 150,000 units there as of 1993. By November 1992, the album sold 350 copies in Iceland.
The album also attained success in Asia-Pacific countries. In Australia, "Erotica" entered the ARIA top 100 albums chart at number one, and was certified Triple Platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) for shipments of 210,000 copies. It also reached the top five on the New Zealand Albums Chart. "Erotica" reached a peak of number five on the Japan Oricon Albums Chart, and received a Double Platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) for shipping 400,000 copies. At the 7th annual Japan Gold Disc Awards, Madonna was awarded the RIAJ's Artist of the Year with sales totalling ¥844 million throughout the year, an equivalent of $6.5 million ($12.19 million in 2021 dollars). Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) also awarded "Erotica" as the "Top Selling English Album of 1993". Initial shipments in Singapore were 20,000 units, and quickly managed to sell 37,000 copies as of November 18 of that year. In total, "Erotica" has sold more than six million copies worldwide.

The fifth compilation album by legendary American Pop singer.
A new career-spanning compilation of the icon singer features the 50 #1 club hits across four decades (1983 – 2019). The collection includes Madonna’s favourite remixes, rare and unreleased versions, all newly remastered.
Madonna made history once again when she topped the Dance Club Songs chart for the 50th time, making her the first and only recording artist to have 50 #1 hits on any single Billboard chart. To celebrate this historic milestone, Madonna curated a new 50-track compendium that includes her favourite remixes of those chart-topping dance hits that have filled clubs worldwide for four decades.
"Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones" spans her entire dance club chart reign, with dozens of remixes by the world’s top producers. In addition to fan favourites, the collection also includes a selection of rare remix recordings, with more than 20 being officially released for the first time or making their commercial/digital debut.
Boasting more than 220 minutes of remixes, "Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones" flows in mostly chronological order, showcasing the many musical reinventions that made Madonna an international icon, from 1983’s “Holiday” to 2019’s “I Don’t Search I Find,” with remixes by some of the biggest and most influential DJs of all time including Shep Pettibone, William Orbit, Honey Dijon, and Avicii.
On several songs, Madonna is joined by other incredible artists, including Britney Spears (“Me Against The Music”), Justin Timberlake and Timbaland (“4 Minutes”), and Nicki Minaj (“Bitch I’m Madonna”). Each remix was newly remastered for the collection by Mike Dean, who produced Madonna’s two most-recent studio albums, "Rebel Heart" (2015) and "Madame X" (2019).
"Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones" also highlights "You Can Dance", Madonna’s first ever remix collection. Celebrating 35 years this year, "You Can Dance" has sold more than five million copies worldwide and is still the second best-selling remix album of all time. The collection also pays homage to “Everybody”, Madonna’s first Single, celebrating its 40th Anniversary on October 6. Madonna redesigned the album’s chronology by picking three edits from "You Can Dance", including “Into The Groove”, “Everybody” and “Physical Attraction”, which reflects the underground club vibes that inspired her first recordings as a Sire artist.
Along with those rarities, these albums also introduce versions that are seeing their first ever official release, including the Alternate Single Remix of “Keep It Together”, the Offer Nissim Promo Mix of “Living For Love”, and more.
The pre-sales of the vinyl format of "Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones" sold out in less than 48 hours.
The album entered at number eight on the Billboard 200, with 30 000 album-equivalent units. It became the top-selling album of the week, with pure sales of 28 000 units, consisting of 23 000 physical and 5,000 digital copies. In doing so, Madonna became the first woman with a Top Ten Album in each of the last five decades, from the 1980s to the 2020s; among women only Barbra Streisand has Top Ten Albums in most decades, with six (1960s–2010s).
"Finally Enough Love" is the first remix album to reach the Top Ten on the Billboard 200 since 2014, and the highest-charting Electronic/Dance remix album since 2010. Additionally, the album topped the US Top Dance/Electronic Albums, and Billboard 200's component's Top Current Album Sales as well Vinyl Albums, with 12 000 copies on vinyl, making it Madonna's largest sales week for a vinyl album since Luminate Data began tracking sales in 1991. As of April 2023, the compilation had sold 25 000 vinyls in the US.
Finally, "Enough Love" debuted atop the ARIA Albums Chart dated August 29, 2022, making it Madonna's 12th Number One Album in Australia. She broke her tie with U2 and Eminem to become the second act with the most chart-topping albums in Australia, behind the Beatles and Jimmy Barnes, each having 14 number ones. Madonna also became the first ever woman to have a Number One Album in five different decades in Australia.
The compilation also debuted at number two in a number of European countries, including Germany, Ireland, Italy, Spain, and Switzerland, while topping the charts in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Portugal, as well as the Croatian International album chart.
"Finally Enough Love" was certified Gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).
