ВІНІЛОВІ ПЛАТІВКИ

The fourteenth full-length studio album by legendary German Heavy Metal band.
In the history of Heavy Metal not many bands can claim to be able to celebrate their breakthrough twice. Accept managed this four years ago, as, with their reunion record "Blood Of The Nations", returning with a vengeance by charting all over the World and topping critics’s and fan polls in the process. In their home country, Germany, Accept charted at an incredible #4 in the Media Control Charts, making this highest position in the band’s career to date.
Built around the nucleus of band colleagues Wolf Hoffmann (guitars) and Peter Baltes (bass), with new vocalist Mark Tornillo as well as Hermann Frank (guitars) and Stefan Schwarzmann (drums), Accept completed a global march of victory, peaking in a sold out tour and outstanding festival shows.
The successor "Stalingrad" maintained the high level with (yet again) over 100.000 records sold, followed by numerous nominations as “record of the year”, a completely sold out world tour and overwhelming chart entries (#5 in Hungary, #6 in Germany, #8 in Finland, #16 in the UK Rock Charts, #17 in Switzerland and #22 in Norway, to name but a few).
Now "Blind Rage", the latest installment in this amazing return, is ready to write history once more. The band’s creative streak has delivered a thunderstorm of riffs, only one Wolf Hoffmann is able to set aflame. Besides the “red Accept-line”, as the band likes to call it, the only goal was to “remain interesting”. Another factor that has turned into an Accept trademark is the voice of singer Mark Tornillo. The New Jersey born musician has been the man behind the microphone since the Accept reunion took off in 2009. Within the course of the three albums, he has grown into his role as frontman of these “teutonic terrors”. Wolf Hoffmann, who likes to call himself a “naturally born perfectionist”, praises his band colleague and states that “his accomplishment is outstanding”.
While Accept like to get newly inspired as far as the creative aspect is concerned, they put the fine tuning of "Blind Rage" into the most capable hands of producer Andy Sneap (Megadeth, Exodus, Five Finger Death Punch). After the two previous records, "Stalingrad" and "Blood Of The Nations", the decision to work with Sneap again was far more than a “never change a winning team”-situation. The sound couldn’t be better: homogenous and authentic, dynamic yet versatile! And you can hear the musical wrath that gets Accept going and also led to the album title!!

The twelfth full-length studio album by legendary German Heavy Metal band.
It is the band's first studio recording since 1996's "Predator" and the first album to feature vocalist Mark Tornillo and drummer Stefan Schwarzmann. It is the first album without Udo Dirkschneider on vocals since "Eat the Heat" in 1989. This is also the first album to feature guitarist Herman Frank since "Balls To The Wall" in 1983.
The last time there was a new studio album from Accept was in 1996, and Heavy Metal was quite possibly at an all-time low - completely ignored by MTV ("Headbanger's Ball" was off the air), and forget about radio. But the album in question, "Predator", did include longtime members Udo Dirkschneider, guitarist Wolf Hoffman, and bassist Peter Baltes... Fast-forward ten years, and vintage Metal was in a much healthier and happier state, with bands from the '80s experiencing an undeniable resurgence in popularity. So what better time for Accept to dust off their Flying V's and Rock once more? ...Only one catch - Udo declined the reunion this time around. Undeterred, Hoffman and Baltes decided to soldier on, re-enlisting former Accept guitarist Herman Frank (who left the band in 1984), drummer Stefan Schwarzmann and former T.T. Quick singer Mark Tornillo.
The "new look Accept" issued their first studio album in 14 years in 2010 and musically, the band has created an album that certainly measures up well to their early- and mid-'80s glory days! Vocally, hearing anyone besides Udo in Accept will take some time to get used to - especially for long-time fans - but hang in there, and you'll discover that Tornillo is certainly a worthy replacement. "Tough and Heavy" is a straight-to-the-point description of such tunes as the ass-kicking album-opener "Beat the Bastards", as well as "Teutonic Terror" and the heavy duty title track.
"Blood Of The Nations" debuted at number four on the German albums chart, making it Accept's first highest chart position since "Russian Roulette" (1986), and their second highest chart position (their 2014 album "Blind Rage" would debut at number one). In 2010, The Dinosaur Rock Guitar forum honored "Blood Of The Nations" with a Dino award for 'Album of the Year'. The album was voted the "#1 Comeback Album" in a 2013 VH1 poll. Also, in 2013 Metal Shock Finland declared it "The Best Shocking Comeback Album".
Producer Andy Sneap (known for working with the heaviest of Heavy Metal bands) successfully brings Accept sonically back to the Metallic roar of their glory days throughout "Blood Of The Nations", resulting in an impressive return of Germany's second best-known Heavy Metal export of all time!!

The eighth full-length studio album by legendary German Heavy Metal band.
It was recorded at Dierks-Studios, in Cologne, from September 1988 to January 1989. Until 2010's "Blood of the Nations", this was Accept's only album without Udo Dirkschneider as lead vocalist. U.D.O. contributes with crowd vocals on "Turn the Wheel". 
It's hard to consider a disc featuring the vocals of anybody other than Udo Dirkschneider an actual Accept record. Released after the legendary frontman's departure from Germany's second greatest '80s Metal outfit, "Eat The Heat" proves Dirkschneider's personification of the band. After picking up Minneapolis Metal-club veteran David Reece, Wolf Hoffman and the rest of Accept decided to modify their sound and songwriting enough to fit the replacement singer's more commercial Metal style. Filling in for a legend, especially one as unique as Reece's predecessor, is a risky business, and the American wailer doesn't do much to help his cause as he never injects a personality of his own into this 1989 release. While the substitute's vocal abilities are considerable, it's hard to differentiate his delivery from that of many singers of his era fronting secondary Metal outfits. Making matters worse, the songwriting and production on "Eat The Heat" often sound stale when compared to the consistently raw yet musically tight delivery of the band's best work. To understand and admire Accept's quirky appeal is to appreciate the insane rantings of Dirkshneider and the chemistry of his chaos offset against the band's particular musical order.
Although Jim Stacey is presented as rhythm guitar player in the album line-up, the album credits also state that all guitar work on the album was played by Wolf Hoffmann. Jim Stacey did perform second guitar live with the band.
U.D.O. has also covered the song "X-T-C" on the 2001 compilation "A Tribute To Accept II". Accept later recorded "Generation Clash II" based on "Generation Clash" with Udo Dirkschneider on vocals for their 1994 album "Death Row".

Second re-release of the sixth full-length studio album by legendary German Heavy Metal band.
With "Metal Heart", Accept attempted to add catchier choruses and melodies to their high-octane guitar riffing in a clear ploy to crack the American market. Not that this move in any way upset the balance of their thus-far smooth-running Metal machine, which had been gaining momentum with every release since the start of the decade. "Metal Heart" was certainly a step toward accessibility, but a cautious one at that. You gotta hand it to Accept, they sure knew how to make an entrance by now, and the apocalyptic title track is about as dramatic as it gets, with guitarist Wolf Hoffman taking the helm on a long, mid-song solo excursion containing equal nods to Beethoven and Edward Van Halen. First single "Midnight Mover" is next, and along with the even more melodic "Screaming for a Love-Bite", it places obvious emphasis on hooks and melodies (and proved to be the toughest to stomach for the band's more hardcore fans). But despite another strange detour into Jazz territory with the bizarre "Teach Us to Survive," Accept still packed amazing power, heaping on their Teutonic background vocals for the ultraheavy "Dogs on Leads" and gleefully pile-driving their way through relentless moshers like "Up to the Limit" and "Wrong Is Right". The brilliantly over-the-top "Too High to Get It Right" finds Dirkschneider screeching like never before, and to cap things off, the band really cooks on "Living for Tonight" - arguably the best track all around. A winning set!
Album was the first album produced by Dieter Dierks himself. The title track contains two classical themes: Tchaikovsky's "Slavonic March" in the intro, and Beethoven's "Fur Elise" in the guitar solo.
“Metal Heart” considered by fans as one of the band's best records.

First re-release of the ninth full-length studio album by legendary German Heavy Metal band.
The first album to feature Udo Dirkschneider on lead vocals since 1986's "Russian Roulette". The classic Accept sound was back, and it can be considered as their forgotten masterpiece. This is one of those albums that has no weak spots whatsoever. Both the lyrics as the guitar riffs are excellent, and you'll hear how much fun it was to play together again in the band. Udo calling "Objection Overruled" "that classic Accept sound again" as well as "a very good Accept album". It was only after the album's release that rifts would begin to re-emerge within the band.
If you are looking for Traditional Metal as it was common in the eighties, you should buy this record! This is one of the best of its genre and stands in line with the likes of "Painkiller" and "Pile Of Skulls", and it is actually created by one of the oldest bands of the genre. This is true classic Heavy Metal at its best!

For the first time officially on vinyl, the eleventh full-length studio album by legendary German Heavy Metal band.
Recorded at Sound Studios, Nashville (USA), "Predator" was Accept's last album before their hiatus from 1997, and their last recording with singer Udo Dirkschneider. Bassist Peter Baltes sung lead vocals on "Lay It Down", "It Ain't Over Yet" and "Primitive", as well as co-lead vocals on "Crossroads" songs.
Drums and percussion, except on "Primitive", and additional percussion on "Predator" were played by Michael Cartellone from Damn Yankees and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Right next to the self-titled album, "Predator" is probably the most ignored Accept album. It's no mystery as to why: when compared to its predecessors, "Death Row" and "Objection Overruled", it certainly comes out of left field. That isn't to say that this album is in any way a poor effort, though. It just takes some time to sink in. Wolf Hoffmann is clearly the chief creative force, here. His Classical and Country influences are very apparent, particularly on "Crossroads", which may actually be the strongest track on the album. The main Achilles' Heel of "Predator" is Peter Baltes' completely unwelcome melodic singing. Yes, Accept's bassist has a very nice singing voice, the problem here is that he seems to sing during parts that would sound much better with Udo growling them out. "Lay it Down" is a perfect example of one such missed opportunity. Just picturing in your mind Udo singing the chorus, it becomes immediately apparent just how misplaced Peter's melodic singing is on this album. In small doses, like on "Crossroads", the contrast of clean singing and Udo's growls really works in the music's favour, but the frequency of Peter's intrusion in the proceedings is really distracting and out-of-place, ultimately, and "It Ain't Over Yet" is a perfect example of this.
Otherwise, the record flows extremely well, and actually succeeds in many ways that "Death Row" and "Objection Overruled" failed, mainly by finding its own sound, and somehow bringing the band's diverse musical influences together while maintaining the Accept sound, somehow. That diversity probably reflects the fact that the band was pulling in different directions at this point, but oddly enough, that works in "Predator"'s favour. It opens up with an exceptionally strong track, "Hard Attack", and ends on a slightly awkward note, with a song that probably shouldn't even have made it into the final mix ("Primitive"). Though, really, the good and exceptional material on this album outweighs the bad by a lot.
Udo Dirkschneider left after this, but had his band U.D.O., which made a comeback. "Predator" was the last Accept album for a long, long time. The band went on a 14-year hiatus, but managed to pull a great comeback. While "Predator" remains one of them worst Accept albums, it's far from a totally shabby one. Not a totally bad album, but one of the least Accept-ish ones from them, certainly. But, you know, these things always happened...

The fifteenth full-length studio album by the legendary German Heavy Metal band.
The 15th long-play from the venerable Metallers, "The Rise Of Chaos" is Accept's fourth full-length since re-forming in 2009 with vocalist Mark Tornillo (original frontman Udo Dirkschneider left the band in 1987). It's also the first LP to feature new guitarist Uwe Lulis and drummer Christopher Williams, but fans of 2014's surprisingly vital-sounding "Blind Rage" will be pleased to hear that Accept 2.0 is still a force to be reckoned with, especially if one's tastes lean toward the kind of uncompromising, no-frills Euro-Metal that filled stadiums in the 1980s. Those who are expecting a big change in sound with the new incarnation (Swartzmann and Frank out / Williams and Lulis in) of this veteran outfit might be disappointed. But for those wanting more of the same Hard Rock/Classic Power/Heavy Metal Accept has been cranking out for decades, "The Rise Of Chaos" delivers – for the most part. After all, the same four guys who have been producing these albums (Tornillo, Baltes, the venerable Wolf Hoffmann and Sneep) since 2010’s crushing "Blood Of The Nations" are still at the helm. Not surprisingly then, the sound recording quality, the guitar leads and solos, the solid, straight-ahead drum rhythms and the Udo/Halford vocals of Tornillo (who continues to excel by the way) still dominate. And the melodies and catchy “gang-choruses” are still pretty darn good. The only problem is that this formula sounds just a bit tired this time around – some of these songs lacking slightly the intensity of the preceding 3 releases.
“Die By The Sword” and the title track are pretty classic Accept Metal anthems, filled with great riffs, solos and those infectious chorus chants. Even the somewhat more "radio" friendly, AC/DC-like “Koolaid” (about the Jonestown massacre), has enough edge to keep things engaging. “Analog Man” is another highlight for sure, at least from a lyrical standpoint, and one of the most fun songs here. “Carry the Weight” is a solid speedy rocker with a too truthful message. On the other hand, the mid-tempo tracks “No Regrets” and “What’s Done is Done” are good, yet nothing new. “Hole in the Head” is pretty ordinary musically with lyrics which are almost too cliché.
Overall, this is still Accept to the core, and there is plenty here to be excited about!!

The twelfth full-length studio album by legendary German Groove/Thrash Metal band.
German quartet Accu§er created something great on “Accuser”. It’s a massive and brutal form of Technical Thrash Metal that isn’t usual for traditional German Thrash names, because they carry a lot of modern Thrash Metal influences, including the use of bitter (but hooking) melodies under the massive aggressiveness of their music. It’s similar to what Suicidal Angels do: a massive and Old School Thrash Metal form, but with a modern outfit that makes things better and different from the clones that infest Thrash Metal scene since the end of the 90’s (in the greater part, those who want to emulate what was already done).
The production of the album done to increase both aggressive and technical aspects of their musical work, but in a clean and defined way that allows the listeners to understand what is being played. And, all without trying to be old fashioned or to clone what many bands already did.
The fast and full of energy “Misled Obedience”, the good abrasive tempos of “Phantom Graves”, the catchy and rich instrumental arrangements of “Lux in Tenebris”, the contrasts between Thrash Metal parts, with melodic introspective moments of “Be None the Wiser”, the hammering weighty energy of “Rethink” and “The Eliminator”, and the mass killing heavy crush of “A Cycle’s End” are their finest musical assaults on the album.
It’s impressive, personal and full of energy, so buy “Accuser” and be prepared to tell how Accu§er will melt your ears and skulls!

For the first time on vinyl, the fourth full-length studio album by legendary Swedish Pop/Eurodance band.
"Da Capo" saw the band return to their original sound that brought them their international acclaim, classic Pop aesthetics married to a Reggae style rhythm but played with synths. The album is named for the musical term da capo, meaning "back to the beginning".
The album was initially slated for a summer 2000 release, but problems with Ace of Base's record labels caused it to be delayed for another year. The band's record label demanded that many of the album's songs be reworked with additional producers. Ultimately, "Da Capo" came out at the end of September 2002, and resulted in very low album sales in many European territories. The album was planned to be released in the United States in 2003, but no release surfaced. In an interview, Ulf said that the group would release the album in the United States, with the songs being more acoustic. However, it never came out in America or Australia, although it has recently become available on iTunes. Polydor Records gave it a "soft release" in the UK on 21 October 2002 with no promotion nor any radio singles, as Polydor believed that the band were no longer relevant to the British music scene.
The title track was later featured on Dance Dance Revolution Supernova in 2006. As of 2008, Da Capo has sold over 600,000 copies, far fewer than Ace of Base's earlier releases.
This album finally gets the global release that all the fans have been waiting for. It was the last album to be made with the original line up. If you were to imagine what an Ace Of Base album sounds like without ever hearing one – this would be it!

First time on vinyl, re-release of “Greatest Hits” – the fourth compilation album by legendary Swedish Pop/Eurodance band.
The only Ace Of Base compilation you’ll ever need!
Ace Of Base are one of the most successful Pop bands, which ruled the charts in the 1990s, producing inescapable Pop singles, including 10 UK top 40 singles. With a string of worldwide hits, they dominated a space not seen since ABBA in the 70s. This compilation album setting contains all of their massive hits.
The re-release charted 59 for one week in the UK, and thus was Ace of Base's return to the charts since their 2010 album "The Golden Ratio" worldwide and since the 1999 compilation "Singles Of The 90s" in the UK.

The European release of American Version of the debut full-length studio album, “The Sign”, by legendary Swedish Pop/Eurodance band. Also, can be considered as re-release of “Happy Nation” - the original Scandinavian / European version of the album, with bonus tracks.
Released on 23 November 1993 as “The Sign” in North America, Japan, and some Latin American countries by Arista Records, the original American version of the album contains the songs from band’s Scandinavian debut release, “Happy Nation” (1992), plus three new songs ("Don't Turn Around", "The Sign" and "Living in Danger"), as well as revised versions of "Voulez-Vous Danser" and "Waiting for Magic". The songs "Münchhausen (Just Chaos)" and "Dimension of Depth" from the original album, “Happy Nation”, were removed altogether.
To coincide with the release of “The Sign”, “Happy Nation” was re-released outside the USA and Canada as “Happy Nation - U.S. Version”, and featured the new tracks and revised versions included on "The Sign", as well the new track "Hear Me Calling" and a remix of "Happy Nation" (CD version. Also appeared on Spanish release of vinyl only, 1994).
“Happy Nation” / “The Sign” was ranked top three on the Billboard 200 chart for 26 consecutive weeks. The album and the single (of the same name) are the only single or album by a Swedish act to rank number one on Billboard's annual overall Year-End lists.
“Happy Nation” / “The Sign” is listed among the Top 100 Best-selling Albums of All Time by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), with sales in excess of 21 million copies. The album itself earned Arista Records 42 million USD, and was nominated for Best Pop Album at the 1995 Grammy Awards.
The new version of the album was released in the UK on 14 March 1994, and climbed to number 1 on the UK Albums Chart on 26 June, beating the number 21 peak of the original release.

The eighth  full-length studio album by legendary American Hard Rock Rock band.
The band's first album on Geffen Records, "Done With Mirrors" was intended as their ‘comeback’, marked the return to the band of guitarists Joe Perry, who left in 1979, and Brad Whitford, who departed in 1981. However, the record failed to live up to commercial expectations despite positive reviews. Rocking too Hard for AOR, the album died on the charts, and the band got scared, leading to their commercial reinvention on "Permanent Vacation" (1987).
In 1991, "Done With Mirrors" ranked at number 409 in list of the "500 Best Heavy Metal Albums".

The fifth full-length studio album by legendary American Hard Rock/Blues Rock band.
The last Aerosmith album for eight years to feature Joe Perry for the entire recording (he left halfway through the recording of their next album, "Night in the Ruts").
It was recorded in an abandoned convent near New York City. The portrait of the band on the album cover was drawn by the celebrity caricaturist Al Hirschfeld.
As the band began recording "Draw The Line", their excessive lifestyle, combined with constant touring and drug use, began to take its toll. Although the LP would sell well more than a million copies in fewer than six weeks after its release, in 2014 Perry would refer to it as "the beginning of the end" and "the decay of our artistry". It marks the band's first slowdown in album sales of their 1970s era, after their initial rise with the albums "Toys In The Attic" and "Rocks". The album was less successful than their previous albums, selling only 2 million copies ("Toys In The Attic" sold 8 million, "Rocks" sold 4 million).
Kerrang! Magazine listed the album at No. 37 among the "100 Greatest Heavy Metal Albums of All Time" for its "high energy", although it never touches Heavy Metal as a genre, concluding with the comment "sleaze was never so classy".
"Draw The Line" went Platinum in its first month of release, entering the music charts on December 24, 1977, peaking at No. 11 on the US Billboard 200, and eventually being certified 2x multi-Platinum nearly a decade later.

First European re-release of the tenth full-length studio album by legendary American Hard Rock/Blues Rock band.
Aerosmith continued its winning streak. "Pump", the follow-up to 1987’s "Permanent Vacation", slams one point home with particular force: that the renewed vigor displayed by the band on "Permanent Vacation" wasn’t just a fluke. While "Permanent Vacation" was a major comeback for Aerosmith, it was also somewhat of a stylistic departure. Songs like “Dude (Looks Like a Lady)” and “Angel” may have echoed the band’s signature style, but they represented a slicker, glossier version of the ragtag Rockers so many of us grew up with. "Pump", however, transports the listener right back to the gilt-edged Grunge of Aerosmith’s wonder years. More than anything else, the album recalls Aerosmith circa "Toys In The Attic", the period just before substance abuse and Tyler-Perry bickering sapped the band of its creative energy.
"Pump" is the second of three sequentially recorded Aerosmith albums to feature producer Bruce Fairbairn and engineers Mike Fraser and Ken Lomas at Little Mountain Sound Studios. On the "Pump", songs show an older, wiser Aerosmith traipsing boldly into the nineties, but between the lines lurk the bombastic bandits of the seventies. Where "Permanent Vacation" seemed a little overwhelmed by its Pop concessions, "Pump" revels in them without ever losing sight of Aerosmith's dirty Hard Rock core. Which doesn't mean the record is a sellout - "What It Takes" has more emotion and grit than any of their other power ballads; "Janie's Got a Gun" tackles more complex territory than most previous songs; and "The Other Side" and "Love in an Elevator" Rock relentlessly, no matter how many horns and synths fight with the guitars. Such ambition and successful musical eclecticism make "Pump" rank with "Rocks" and "Toys In The Attic".
The album has certified sales of 7 000 000 copies in the U.S. to date, and is tied with its successor "Get A Grip" as Aerosmith's second best-selling studio album in the U.S. ("Toys In The Attic" leads with eight million). It produced a variety of successes and "firsts" for the band including their first Grammy Award ("Janie's Got a Gun"). "Love in an Elevator" became the first Aerosmith song to hit #1 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. Additionally, it is the only Aerosmith album to date to have three Top 10 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 and three number one singles on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. The album was also the fourth bestselling album of the year 1990.
In the UK, it was the second Aerosmith album to be certified Silver (60 000 units sold) by the British Phonographic Industry, achieving this in September 1989.
