The fourth full-length album by American Thrash Metal band.
Monolith is a US (Winchester, Virginia) act formed in 1994. The band released their self-titled debut full-length studio album in 1995 and have since released several studio albums.
Pretty moshy fare, tends to remind more of Pro-Pain and bands of that ilk. Though nothing mindblowing, the guitarwork is pretty good. It's more complex than most moshcore, with some rather melodic parts to it, making it more interesting than most bands with this sound. They even invoke a couple of Slayer riffs here and there. Also we can hear nice slow Groove on here, reminds Pantera a bit, maybe with a little old Entombed mixed in toward the end just for flavor.
Overall it's good album. In their defense, they do this style of music a lot beter than most!
For fans of Pantera and Slayer!!

The second full-length album by russian-Ukrainian Post-Black Metal band.
"Absurdum" is entirely dedicated to the works of Albert Camus and Jean-Paul Sartre. Dark existentialism entwined with unconventional plangent melancholic Black Metal and weird polyphony created by stringed and keyed instruments.
Ten-minute title song is a pure manifesto of absurd setting the tone for the whole album, while the rest of the songs tell stories about fatuity and pointlessness of being.
The original eclectic combination of Dark, Doom and Black Metal with some elements from Classical music and Avant-Garde which cannot be compared to anything familiar or forced into any traditional framework known to the listeners!
CD also features EP "I Am Empty" (2014) as a bonus!!

The debut full-length album by russian Epic Medieval/ Atmospheric Black Metal band.
The attractiveness of music performed by the band take roots in its stylistic diversity. Here you can find instrumental songs with charming Folk melodies, acoustic guitar pieces, grand symphonic suites alternating with radio drama inserts and battle drums edged with guitar distortion. There are also Extreme Black Metal songs based on Metal riffs flavored with true belligerent screaming accompanied by epic choirs. As a result, we have an original musical canvas created by Moongates Guardian duo – a perfect soundtrack to “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy that welcomes listeners to the mysterious world of the Middle-Earth!

The second full-length album by russian Epic Medieval/Atmospheric Black Metal band.
The musical material of the new album continues and logically develops the ideas brought forth with the debut “Eternal Legend”. Moongates Guardian duo appeals to the listeners with its epic musical canvas imbued with the atmosphere of the ancient world of Middle-Earth, breathing a new life into the immortal epic of J. R. R. Tolkien. In comparison with the debut, the new songs evolved both on compositional and structural levels: they became more complicated yet coherent. Within the album, all tracks are interconnected with short interludes and sound like a single musical canvas still preserving their individuality.
“In The Beginning” stands out from other similar epic medieval albums primarily for cool and easy-to-remember melodies served masterfully and with taste. The album itself does not sound like a compilation of symphonic lines and pieces – everything is in its place, nicely mixed into a kind of fantasy Black Metal soundtrack. It can be stated that with this album the band has developed its own distinctive style.
The lyrics traditionally employ the poems by Tolkien, however this time they are translated and performed in Russian language.

The tenth full-length studio album by legendary Portuguese Extreme/Gothic Metal band.
After two years, Moonspell return with "Alpha Noir", an album that reinforces the idea that they are still, in fact, one of Metal’s premier acts. Over the last decade, the band have increasingly pursued the Gothic side of their sound to the point that many Metal fans simply walked away thinking the band had lost interest. Not unlike brethren Paradise Lost and Amorphis though, Moonspell dig deep and craft a much heavier album than anyone expected.
"Alpha Noir" is a welcome revisit to the band’s early works and probably their most ferocious sounding since their debut, "Wolfheart" (1995). This is due in no small part to the guitar work. Throughout this album the guitars offer face melting riffs and wild soloing that lasts more than a few seconds here and there. Additionally, there is a ton of lead work happening at all times and it just makes everything bigger and angrier.
"Axis Mundi", "Lickanthrope", the title track and "Love Is Blasphemy" are perfect examples of how rockin’ this album gets. While they still maintain a Gothic underpinning, the guitars and aggressive vocals that are at the fore command your attention. They have killer riff led verses with an explosive chorus that make you want to pump your leather studded wristband laden fist in the air and sing along.
"Opera Carne" is the centrepiece here. It has some really memorable lead guitar pieces and a vocal that sounds like its wordsmith is being torn to pieces as he sings. When the chorus hits, it blankets you in Rammstein-esque gang vocals that sound like a million angry oppressed.
Fans of the bands last few albums will find traces of things to enjoy as well. Most notably, "Sine Misssione" which has a very Atmospheric feel to it that reminds a bit of "Sin / Pecado"’s material (1998). "Em Nome do Medo" is another moment that leans more to the Gothier side, although its edges are still heavy...
Moonspell are one of those bands that always bring it but you will be shocked to hear such an aggressive album from them, as they seemed to have moved past this style a long time ago. If you are a fan of the first couple of albums and lost heart then you should come back ASAP! If you love the band’s output in the new millennium, you’ll still enjoy plenty of this!!

The eleventh full-length studio album by legendary Portuguese Dark/Gothic Metal band.
Portuguese pioneers Moonspell first brought the Dark flames to their native country – and then set the rest of the world aflame with milestones such as "Irreligious" or "Night Eternal".
"Extinct" erects another monument to sundown and those dark hours and lets Fernando Ribeiro`s sombre vocals collide with modern riffing, Blackened melodies and Operatic grandeur.
The album includes a guest bozuoukitara performance by Yossi Sassi on the track "Medusalem". Also, on that same track, before the guitar solo starts, another guest artist, Mahafsoun, narrates the chorus in the Persian language.
An awe-inspiring album like this one truly deserves to be appreciated by all music lovers, it doesn’t matter if you’re a Metalhead or not. In other words, go listen to "Extinct" with the person you love the most, or simply close your eyes and savour it by yourself, resting assured that while Moonspell are among us dark and meaningful music will never be extinct!
Always one step ahead of the rest, always resisting all genre boundaries!!

The third re-release of the second full-length studio album by legendary Portuguese Gothic Metal band.
If an alien ever visited the Earth and asked “what is Gothic Metal?”, a peace offering of "Irreligious", Moonspell’s groundbreaking 1996 album, would have been the perfect answer to the inhabitant of a far, far away galaxy. "Irreligious" is the jewel of the crown of the style. Because of its prefect balance. Not too little, not too much, this album is the perfect pitch and absolute archetype of Gothic Metal. It is the crossroad where Metal meets Gothic and lead the way to a different style and fusion between the darkened elegance of Goth and the powerful depths of Heavy Metal. At one time modern and classic, it truly survived the test of time with the most amazing the style has ever heard, from the smashing hit-opener "Opium" to Moonspell’s eternal ode to the Moon in the shape of "Full Moon Madness". The latter is usually the closing song during almost every Moonspell concert, which over time has become a characteristic of their concerts. Before the song begins, Fernando Ribeiro often makes the sign of the circle (symbolizing Moon) over the crowd. 
The tracklist in near-perfect, with songs that are lean and catchy but at the same time rich in depth and texture, which ensures the album withstands, and in fact almost invites, repeated listens.
The production is alright, but it causes the guitars to sound thin in a few places. The guitars are midway between heavy and melodic. There are no solos but some interesting leads. The songs have a dark yet upbeat vibe to them. The overall feel is something epic and stylishly evil.
The bass does its own thing for the most part, since there was only one guitarist on this album. He follows the drums but adds a sufficient flare to keep things fascinating. The drums are creative and the beginnings of Miguel coming into his own. There are some underlying keyboards, which are mostly used as background.
The vocals are brilliant and go from a low deathly growl to a more mid-high shriek. The clean vocal is the standard deep Gothic-esq croon. There is also a female vocalist at "Raven Claws".
"Irreligious" is one of those albums that tell a story from beginning to end. The lyrics are poetic, introspective, and expansive. When combined with the highly original music, they create a moody, sexy atmosphere that works well.
"Irreligious" is a sublime album of quintessential Gothic Metal. It is one of those records that define the genre itself, masterfully combining the harshness of Extreme Metal with Dark Atmospheric Gothic Rock. "Irreligious" is a masterpiece. It’s an album that has stood the test of time and has risen to be one of the best records not only in Moonspell’s discography, but also in the genre as a whole!!

The first re-release of the eighth full-length studio album by legendary Portuguese Gothic Metal band.
Moonspell were among the founders and foremost protagonists of that style during the nineties. Like the Portuguese metropolis, "Night Eternal" is riddled by a multitude of alleys and places. Moonspell's city of Lisbon and their new album share a wise and experienced beauty as well as the opposing principles of heat and cold, life and death, severity and gentleness, male strength and female magic. 
"Night Eternal" continues the trend of Moonspell revisiting their original heavy roots, much like they did on 2006’s "Memorial" and 2003’s "The Antidote". While "Memorial" was an overall heavy album with slowing down in tempo solely in atmospheric instrumental tracks, "Night Eternal" shuns purely instrumental interludes but rather focuses on creating variation within the individual tracks. This works brilliantly, and while "Memorial" became predictable at times because of a lack of changes in tempo and heaviness, "Night Eternal" is all the more captivating and beautiful when Moonspell holds back a little yet more crushing than ever before when they go full-throttle. This resulted in "Night Eternal" being received well overall by international music critics and managing to reach both Portuguese and French album charts.
Moonspell have re-discovered themselves once more and still found a way back to their origins. They continue to couple the fire within their souls with poetic emotionality, a gentle touch of the erotic, as well as a distinct melancholic mood.

The third re-release of the debut full-length studio album by legendary Portuguese Gothic Metal band.
In the ever Scandinavian-obsessed climate of the early to mid-90’s, album like "Wolfheart" were incredibly important, as they made a bold and defiant statement that there were bands from other countries singing about their own culture and rich folkloric history in pride and passion.
It's funny how, at such an early stage of their career, a band, from a country with a relatively unknown metal presence, can change their sound, and not only succeed, but make one of Metal's unique records. This is a vast departure from the morbid Occult Black Metal with Arabic influences showcased in their earlier "Under The Moonspell" EP, instead delving deeper into the newly-born Gothic Metal sound and its aesthetics. The black metal is still present, though, but in a more melodic form, not unlike the one of the Greeks Rotting Christ (which, casually, would start their turn towards the Gothic side of the Metal spectrum one year after this was released), in the form of tremolo-picked riffs and harsh vocals, and the Folk elements are not quite the ethnic and Arabic influences of the EP, instead using flutes and cleanly sung vocals, thus having a more native (at times, bordering on Celtic) feel. Those influences are in perpetual clash with the Goth Rock influences, like the emotional, bordering on melodramatic baritone vocal performance (with spoken parts) and the abundance of ethereal synths which are the main contributors to the eerie, Dark, Gothic-Horror themed atmosphere of the music. There are some female vocals too, but, they are used not in the obnoxious 'Beauty-and-the-Beast' way, but as background vocals, for most of the time.
"Wolfheart" is a high watermark in modern Lusitanian musical culture, and it's highly recommended for people who have an interest in actual Goth Metal, which can keep a sinister vibe! A wild (midnight) ride!!

This Belarusian 4-piece act has earned its own place among those "cool new band discoveries" for sure. The band's 7-song debut was originally self-released in December 2011, with 8 songs (including an instrumental version of "My 7even"). The label More Hate Productions has dropped off this instrumental tune from this re-release, which they obviously had well-grounded reasons for. Nevertheless, MoonWay plays crispy, keyboard/piano-laden Doom Metal that has a lot of sticking, dreamy atmosphere and enough heaviness overall to appeal to fans of more Extreme Metal.
Vocalist Conner Lemac's deep and guttural Death grunts are also pretty impressive, performed nearly the same way as Tomi Koivusaari on Amorphis' first two albums. Also the guitar sound holds a lot of ruthless heaviness and crispness in them, supporting MoonWay's efforts in making beautifully flowing, crushing and pretty hopeless-sounding Doom Metal, with some slight Death Metal overtones. Female vocalist Rusana's guest appearance on the song "Time Stops Here" also works well on the whole, bringing in welcome lightness and just a little bit of beauty to the record.
My 7even is also blessed with a very good and clear production, sort of to optimize the band's attempts to be heard among bigger crowds as well. Not essential, but still a very good album all in all!!

Remastered re-release of the debut full-length studio album by legendary German Death Metal band.
With their promising EPs "Resurrection Absurd" and "The Eternal Fall", released in 1989 and 1990, Morgoth stood in the shadow of their big idols Death and the uprising European force Pestilence. In 1991, they tried to step out of this shadow by releasing a full-length album with a Doomier approach. "Cursed" belongs to the good and worthy products of a time when Death Metal was both Brutal and Melodic, without needing cheesy categorizations such as "Brutal Death Metal" or "Melodeath". To promote the album, the band supported Kreator and Biohazard on a US tour and another European tour with Immolation and Massacre.
Before Morgoth wandered into Progressive Death Metal on "Odium", then to Alternative Metalcore/Techno on the "Feel Sorry For The Fanatic", they were a good Death Metal band in the veins of Obituary and Death. They used a bit of that weird Possessed riffing and the Beccarra "glass gargling" vocals, but these guys were quite a bizarre entity. And that's just why they're so good.
The band split up in 1998, but reunited in 2010. In May 2018, the band announced that they would go on hold following their performance at the Chronical Moshers Open Air on June 8th, 2018. On December 17th, 2020, via the band's Facebook page, Morgoth announced that they were splitting up for good.
Limited Edition re-release features bonus-video-enhancement “Morgoth Live In Frankfurt, September 9th, 1991”.

The second full-length album by Ukrainian Groove/Thrash Metal band.
Moria establishes new standards combining Groove, fury and emotional energy. Even more destructive aggression, powerful interludes and headbanging rhythms.
The major "visiting card" of the band is the hard guitar sound, powerful rhythm section, special contrast of melodies and aggression. The factor of no less significance is the band's lyrics, which underlines problems of humanity (wars, ecological environment) and individuality (state of mind, subconscious, philosophy, psychology).
"Pain Shreds" removes the border between insanity and experiment. The new standard of the Ukrainian Thrash/Groove Metal!
CD features video clip “Dead Memory”.
