The fourteenth full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
It was released on June 4, 2013 and is Megadeth's first album to be released on Mustaine's own label, Tradecraft, after the band's split with Roadrunner Records. There are 11 tracks on the standard edition with 10 of the tracks being new material and the 11th track being a cover of the Thin Lizzy song "Cold Sweat". This album is diverse. We get melodic Metal. This is not Megadeth's heaviest album; there are definitely strong elements of Thrash and Metal in the album.
The title track, "Super Collider", was released as the first single on April 23rd, 2013. The second single was "Kingmaker", but while a YouTube video was released for the song it was not made available for purchase before the album release. It’s debuted at number six on the Billboard 200, making “Super Collider” the band's highest charting album since 1994's “Youthanasia”. Super Collider is the first Megadeth album since “Cryptic Writings” (1997), not to feature a lineup change from the preceding album. The album also features a guest appearance from Disturbed and Device vocalist David Draiman.
This is a great album in its own right, delivering a lot of great quality tunes that many people have been overlooking because they just can’t get over that this is not “Rust In Peace”.

The tenth full-length album by the legendary American Thrash Metal band.
Band's second and final studio album released by Sanctuary Records. "The System Has Failed" was the first of three Megadeth records not to include original bassist and co-founder David Ellefson. Instead, the album features session players, including former Megadeth guitarist Chris Poland on lead guitar, the very talented guitarist whom he'd fired after the masterful "Peace Sells" album back in the day. However, Poland only provided lead guitar parts and solos on a contractual basis and did not rejoin the band. That re-pairing of Mustaine and Poland alone makes "The System Has Failed" worthwhile. No, this isn't a good old-fashioned Thrash album, but you can tell Mustaine is going for that vibe, especially on songs like "Back in the Day", one in particular that should give dyed-in-the-wool headbangers a giddy sense of déjà vu.
"The System Has Failed" marks a return from the dead for Megadeth - and quite a glorious return, it must be said. When bandleader Dave Mustaine was diagnosed in early 2002 with radial neuropathy - strained nerves in his left arm and hand - the snarling guitar shredder was forced to disband his once groundbreaking band after nearly two decades of activity. Granted, it wasn't that big of a loss at the time, chiefly so because Megadeth had long passed its prime. The band's key recordings date back to the Speed Metal era, from 1986 (the year of "Peace Sells...", "Reign In Blood" and "Master Of Puppets") to 1992 (the year Megadeth, like Metallica a year earlier, made a distinct, more commercial shift, releasing "Countdown To Extinction" - to the dismay of many longtime fans). Following "Countdown", Megadeth struggled. The band continued to release albums, but they weren't well received and, very sadly, one of Metal's once preeminent acts became a bitter has-been. So after Mustaine's injury, the disbanding of Megadeth didn't seem all that unfortunate at the time - it seemed overdue, some would argue. Then in 2004, shortly after an exemplary reissue campaign, Mustaine resurrected Megadeth for "The System Has Failed".
"The System Has Failed" is actually more of a synthesis, taking the reckless abandon of pre-"Countdown" Megadeth and infusing it with the melodic songwriting of latter-day diamonds in the rough like "Symphony of Destruction" and "A Tout le Monde". Add to this some especially thoughtful lyrics (archly political, nakedly personal, and shamelessly mature), and you have the recipe for an excellent, damn near perfect Megadeth album, up there with "Peace Sells", "Rust In Peace" and "Countdown To Extinction" - as unlikely as that may seem.
"The System Has Failed" received positive reception from critics and managed to debut at number 18 on the Billboard 200. Regardless of where "The System Has Failed" ranks alongside Megadeth's other standout albums, however, it most certainly blows away practically every other aboveground Metal album of 2004! No joke!! This is the sort of latter-day masterpiece Metallica struggled in vain for a decade-plus to record to no avail!!!

Remastered and remixed re-release of the sixth full-length studio album by the legendary American Thrash Metal band.
Originally released on November 1, 1994 through Capitol Records, it saw Megadeth continuing a trend toward slower, more melodic Hard Rock songs which began with their commercial breakthrough album, “Countdown To Extinction”.
Megadeth's previous album, “Countdown To Extinction”, was tremendously successful and the band was faced with the daunting task of making an album to follow it.
It was a time of problems and conflicts for Megadeth, in that every two weeks or so according to Mustaine, there were "outrageous emotional interventions" in order to make the band a democracy. Many band meetings during this period concerned Mustaine's creative control over a "successful formula", so that the band could better exercise their creativity.
A remixed and remastered re-edition features several bonus tracks. CD comes with 28 pages booklet.

Split release of two EPs by two russian Stoner/Doom Metal Bands.
Monolith Levitation and Dekonstruktor have really pulled off an impressive split album here.
If you’re a fan of Swans, you’ll have a good time with Monolith Levitation. Grooves are very heavy in a tribal sort of way, both tracks are very Trance like, with a really deep droning vocal line that can shift pretty impressively to a primal cry with ease.
Dekonstruktor come at us with a very similar sound with some subtle but distinctive differences. We have a much more Psychedelic Rock vibe coming from these guys. Heavily effected, mournful vocals lend to this same Psych Rock vibe.
This two curious and crushing bands takes on a style with the lot of originality, redressing the balance of genre. Musthave for any who in it!!

The fourth full-length studio album by Australian Experimental/Avant-garde/Noise/Ambient Doom Metal band.
Mekigah is a unique act, and you can take something different from it every time and whatever mood you are in.
'Autexousious' is a long-lost word and means exercising or possessing free will. It is also the cryptic title of Australian extreme music artist Vis Ortis’ fourth album with his acclaimed project, Mekigah, and second album released through the UK extreme music label Aesthetic Death.
Vis began working on these tracks shortly after finishing the "Litost" album. There were a handful of tracks that were in the original "Litost" pool which swam a bit strangely and were ultimately excluded from the final track listing. They formed the beginnings of "Autexousious".
"Autexousious" captures similar feelings and sonic spaces to "Litost", with Mekigah’s signature slow tempo. Harsh, bottom end tones set the scene with Doom-laden soundscapes held together by stripped back drums and bass while guitars spin a whirlwind of random frequencies. These audible hallucinations are recounted by layered nightmarish vocals.
The lyrics are derived from manic, abstract & personal poetry, exploring ugly, impatient & self analytical themes.
Meshed with these words are treated vocals stripped of meaning: a wordless, sound-only entity – a scream for extinction, or perhaps simply release, into the nightmare of noise.
The tracks also includes passages of soundscape noise and off kilter percussion, but overall retain an albeit idiosyncratic and fairly unique song based approach. What this album gives the listener is 9 drawn out, torturously raw songs.
Vis was also honoured to have Tasmanian legend, Paul Weedon, grace the recording as a guest guitarist & vocalist. Another welcome addition on this recording came from Izedis of insane US noise merchants Enbilulugugal, who contributed vocal extremities on a number of tracks.
Rejoining the fold, after having contributed to the first two albums, are c.w (guitars, spoken word) & aldhamme (vocals), both formally of the mighty Australia Black Metal band Erebus Enthroned. Finally, Vis Ortis’ cousin from the UK Swift makes brief noise guitar appearances on a few tracks.
The album was mastered by Greg Chandler (Esoteric) at Priory Studios, UK.

The third full-length studio album by Australian Experimental/Avant-garde/Noise/Ambient Doom Metal band.
Mekigah is a unique act, and you can take something different from it every time.
"Litost" it’s like being dragged through a murky nightmare. Constantly distorted, the scene is one ghastly picture after another. The amalgam of sounds includes the Industrial soundscape of Aborym and the like, sinister whistling which are designed to portray the greyest picture and maximum psychological impact. It can be Symphonic, Dark and deadly. The Dark Industrialism and definitive constancy recalls Blut Aus Nord, but there’s no pattern. It’s Ambient Noise, but ranging from Black wildernesses and Funereal melancholy to Symphonically-influenced riots. "Litost" is dreamy Experimental Noise of the obscurest order...
Bold new work of highly original experimental sonic Funeral Doom. Melding Dark Noise and unsettling atmospheres with strains of Symphonic darkness & ultra-slow funeral doom. Layer upon layer of haunting sound perfectly melds Doom, Noise & Ambient genres into a unique experience revealing the subconscious darkness of the human mind.
Think about Australia's In Slaughter Natives meets UK's Esoteric.

The second full-length album by Spanish Heavy/Stoner Metal band.
"I love bastards & liars, shake my fist at poor people, and raise a drink to the man who never cries".
The foursome hail from Tortosa, Spain and play late-70's/early-80's ugly, sweaty, gruff, raw style of Metal, a la Iron Maiden (the early years), Motörhead, etc. The kind Darkthrone have been gravitating towards the last couple years. So while not at all original, it is enjoyably visceral.
Memest are at their best when playing aggressive, fast tunes like "We Love Rats" and the tunes alluded to in my opening. Full throttle, full bottle. The energy is catchy and smile-inducing, even if it induces the kind of smiles that have people back away from you cautiously while they press the 9-1-1 button on their cell phones and hover their trigger finger over "send" just in case.
So if you're looking for a couple new energetic "smash it up" tracks to add to the playlist for your next Heavy Metal Vomit Party, be sure to check these hombres out!!

Memorain delivers oldschool Thrash Metal with a modern touch. The album contains eleven strong songs in a high speed tempo with aggressive and melodic touch, the same time. Taking the finest elements of Thrash and Speed Metal and mix them in an amazing result, and a combination of classic Metal structures crafted with modern elements!
From the first until the last song, "Seven Sacrifices", is characterized by excessive force and slapdash pace, that makes the album must have for all the fans of Thrash Metal!!

The debut full-length studio album by Greek Epic Death/Black Metal band.
When someone mentions the term Hellenic Black Metal, many people will immediately think about bands like Rotting Christ or Varathron. The same we can say about this debut. Epic, melodic and fierce Black Metal in perfect Greek tradition and loaded with mythology.  Inspiration is gathered from the rich history of the motherland, including its ancestors and gods.
Musically, you can indeed compare Meneapneontes to bands like Rotting Christ and Varathron, but also with acts like Ancient Rites or Bal-Sagoth.  This is high standard Black Metal with a decent share of melody and atmosphere.  On other occasions, Meneapneontes truly likes speed, intensity and aggression, resulting in punishing passages of Epic Black Metal.  
This album definitely recommended for anyone like his Black Metal epic, melodic and with a huge sense of victory!

The first re-release of the sixth full-length studio album by legendary Danish Heavy Metal band.
The album marks the first that Michael Denner is not present on. It also marked a new era for the band, as the production is more muddy and raw, and the guitar tone is more distorted than on the three previous albums. In addition, the album introduced a more complex and arguably Progressive sound to several of its tracks.
Recorded during a frenzy of activity during the late '90s, "Dead Again" was presumably thrown together rather quickly, as Mercyful Fate and King Diamond's solo outfit were both releasing new discs at a furious rate. This schedule had to be most taxing on vocalist Diamond, whose ultra-high-pitch bellowing and novel-length lyrical additions to both of his bands made for a laborious schedule. Joining Diamond on this 1998 Metal Blade release are guitarists Hank Shermann and Mike Wead, drummer Bjarne T. Holm, and bassist Sharlee D'Angelo. Each member turns in solid performances in both the creation and execution of fine riffs and arrangements.
Very catchy and pretty damn heavy, with lots of groovy riffs to it, with a rather surprising ending. Mercyful Fate nor King Diamond have ever put out a bad album, and "Dead Again" conjures enough magic to make it a worthy purchase!

The third full-length studio album by legendary Danish Heavy Metal band.
Mercyful Fate's first album since their reunion in 1992. After an almost decade-long hiatus, the band's reunion did not disappoint; it was as if they picked up right where they had left off. There are more of King Diamond's gothic tales of horror and the supernatural, and the music sounds better than ever.
The songs here are first-rate; most of them grab your attention in one way or another. But what separates this record from the rest is the numbers of hooks found here. Whether it is a riff, a chorus, or a drum pattern, by the end of the album you'll remember something from it. The album also features awesome production; you can listen to every single note and vocal line the way that the band intended and yet, it doesn't sound overly polished.
Unlike previous Mercyful Fate albums, which were entirely centred around lyrical themes of satanism and the occult, the lyrics on this album are rather focused on more conceptual horror-themes, akin to King Diamond's work with his eponymous band. The band would not return to a primarily occult/satanic lyrical approach until the band's latest album, "9", released in 1999.
This would be the final full-length album Timi Hansen would appear on before his death in 2019. 
Even as the album doesn't have the historical significance of their early 80s material, that doesn't really matter, because this is high-quality material from a veteran band!
The CD features a Bonus Track, "Return of the Vampire… 1993", featuring Lars Ulrich of Metallica on drums – a re-recorded version of the underground classic "Return of the Vampire", present in the homonymous 1992 compilation album.

The first compilation album by legendary Danish Heavy Metal band.
"The Beginning" is a compilation of rare early releases by Mercyful Fate, and if you thought "Melissa" and "Don't Break the Oath" were great albums, you need to get this! 
The album, originally released in June 1987, consists of the band's first four-song EP, "Nuns Have No Fun" (released on Rave-On records in 1982), the three-song broadcast of Mercyful Fate live on the BBC, and a B-side from the "Melissa" recording sessions.
What a great idea this was, remastering that legendary EP, adding 3 BBC session tracks to it, a rare single and a raw, early version of "Black Funeral".
Overall, this album is a very worthy purchase for any Mercyful Fate fan, as it shows all the elements of their style honed to perfection and performed with raw, youthful abandon.

The debut full-length studio album by Romanian Black/Death Metal band.
Mercy’s Dirge is one of the first Romanian Black Metal bands, formed back in 1991.
As the title suggests, all the songs were recorded live and likely in one take, and that’s actually the biggest pros of this album! Thus, "Live, Raw And Relentless" consists of 11 semi-length-range Black Metal songs. Actually, it is more of a very Raw Black/Death Metal mixture, but it is done in an Old-school manner, from a production to the artwork. Most of the music is very heavily rooted in the mid-80s to early-90s era.
Highly recommended for admirers of Celtic Frost, Atheist, Venom and similar early Black Metal acts!

The third full-length studio album by international Funeral Doom Metal band.
The third album from Mesmur is a colossal and moving sonic rendering of a dying world. Where their 2017 album, "S", operated on a cosmic scale, Terrene explores similar themes of entropy and impending chaos in a more terrestrial context, and is rife with the suffocating dirges and toxic atmosphere the band is known for.
There’s quite a bit to like here, as no one does it quite like Mesmur, when it comes to exponentially Atmospheric Doom/Death. A very immersive experience that feels like the death knell of an alien world that we can only grasp partially, in short musical glimpses. An album of both crushing agony, and sublime beauty, of deep melancholy and sorrow. An engaging, absorbing experience, one which is well worth having for any fan of Funeral Doom.
Featuring guest flute and cello performances by Don Zaros (of Evoken) and Nadia Avanesova, and another stunning cover design by Ukranian painter Cadaversky, Terrene reaches new levels of scope and ambition for Mesmur in their objective to create a vast and immersive Doom Metal experience.

The debut full-length album by Polish Death/Thrash Metal band.
Ten tracks of traditional Death Metal that are up with changes in the melody and tempo. Good guitar work, leads and hard-hitting drums.
With a thickly produced rhythm section, the guitars churn out aggressively formulated riffs through a Metallic distortion with a Fuzzy edge. It is the rhythm section that really captures the attention, as the bass pulses and thumps the drums are tight and powerful, stamping authority on the music with its intrusive double pedals. Mess Age include lead passages effectively. The musicianship is solid enough to give the music on "Self Convicted" more of an impact than it may have had otherwise. It is reasonably strong material, with well-constructed riffs and an effective element of complexity in the melodic elements.
Vocalist Raaf bellows hoarsely but surprisingly expressively, phrasing the tortured, angry lyrics with a basic but effective style.
Whether or not this is a gratuitous display of boneheaded hostility, Mess Age still succeeds in offering some effective Metalworks. With a general grasp of how to be cold and aggressive, the uncompromising nature of the Thrash-tinged Metal on "Self Convicted" creates many enjoyable and absorbing moments. This is a commendable work that Mess Age should be proud of. Not bad album in all senses!
Nergal of Behemoth appears on the track "Kill The Falsehood"!!
