ВІНІЛОВІ ПЛАТІВКИ

The second re-release of the sixth full-length album by legendary German Thrash Metal band.
Tankard created a record that was really "Two-Faced". After "Stone Cold Sober" Tankard concentrated on their strengths. That meant that they had to move away a bit from the Thrash formula and focus on the other styles, which had always been a part of their sound anyway, or to put it simply. This band had to find the right balance again, and they finally did. This album includes a few of the best songs that Tankard has recorded in years! While "Two-Faced" initially seems to possess many of Tankard's trademark characteristics, it also differs from the previous releases to a small degree. Lyrics are generally more serious than before, and there is a bit more variety in tempos than you might expect from a typical Tankard album. It is still easy to recognize the sharp guitar sound almost instantly, and most tracks remain similar to the band's past works. Some lack of the usual happy spirit can make this release sound somewhat more average and not so uplifting though by no means bad. Also, while certain more varied tracks have their moments, too, this album clearly proves that constantly fast thrashers are the band's strongest area, formulaic or not. Some deviation from traditions put aside, “Two-Faced" is a fair pick for anyone who enjoys Tankard's style!

Second re-release of the debut full-length studio album by legendary German Thrash/Speed Metal band.
Tankard can be called one of those "late" Thrash Metal bands, since these guys joined forces in 1982, but only got to release their first album five years later.
No wonder these guys are known as "Alcoholic Thrashers" or "Beer Metallers". Most of the lyrics here are really fun. Common topics here are drinking beer, zombies, thrashing and having fun. All songs are just incredibly fast and insane.
This album is pure Thrash Metal: mixes of the great riffs, solid guitar solos and a crazy rhythm session; and the final result makes you break your neck!
A true must have for any fan of Thrash Metal!!

The second re-release of the second full-length studio album by legendary German Thrash/Speed Metal band.
This album is not only stands the test of time as one of the band’s most enduring classics but also becomes one of Germany’s finest records ever made and shows the band is more than just a cheap gimmick band but something much more impressive overall. This is a much more improved Tankard than what was shown on the debut, as they stretch themselves out a lot more and offers some lengthier, more technically-involved songs that are still in perfect keeping with the energy and feel of the debut. Gone is the Punk influence and replaced with more Thrash, and the Progressive feel of some of their riffing is far more accomplished than most would ever dare to write in conjunction with the band, yet the same party vibe and cheesy lyrics remain in the sound, effectively giving the band a true classic in their discography and overall one of the finer thrash records to come from the prolific German scene of the 80s!
A true must have for any fan of the genre!!

The first re-release of the seventeenth full-length studio album by legendary German Thrash Metal band.
In time for the band’s 35-year jubilee, the Frankfurt-based cult Thrashers released their new, highly praised album. And they are back, angrier than ever!
A catchy continuation of the band's previous album, “R.I.B”, with strong lyrics, “One Foot In The Grave” is heavy as a tank, powerful as a train, quick as a race car!! 
Without a doubt, “One Foot In The Grave” is one of the greatest Tankard albums from recent years. With this album, Tankard releasing their full potential, as a full-speeded, unstoppable Thrash Metal monster.

The first re-release of the sixteenth full-length studio album by legendary German Thrash Metal band.
Two years after the release of "A Girl Called Cerveza", Frankfurt drunkards are back with a new record. Even after 30 years, the band still enjoys looking for new things to craft a sound that is fully their own. This record is far closer to classic German Thrash Metal than to Tankard's trademark style. The wide variety of rhythms and riffs is a distinguishing trait of "R.I.B.". Arrangements appear fuller and harder than usual, and Gerre's powerful voice does not allow any contradictions. Its tone is often aggressive, and the cheerfulness is more in the artwork and lyrics rather than the music. Maybe this is a consequence of those gigs with Kreator and Destruction some months ago? Whatever the reason, most fans will be pleased with this album!

The first re-release of the seventh full-length studio album by legendary German Thrash Metal band, and, for the first time on vinyl, the debut full-length studio album by Tankard’s Punk/Metal side project, Tankwart.
"The Tankard" (1995) was the final album released on Noise by Tankard. Where Tankard touched some serious grounds with "Two-Faced", the follow-up album, "The Tankard" strives towards notably more familiar and lightsome directions. In fact, this release may be one of Tankard’s lightest productions – by all means, heavy this is not. With a couple of exceptions, the music has a particularly happy sound despite some serious lyrics still occasionally appearing, and it seems as if the band had slowed down a bit for this record. As a whole, it’s pretty harmless stuff, not exactly a collection of classic material, although many tracks here are perhaps more memorable than on an average Tankard album. Some good, uplifting hollers like "Minds On The Moon" and "Fuck Christmas" sound particularly relaxed and play in an enjoyable manner. Perpetuating the more serious side shown on its predecessor "Two-Faced", its sound was a melting pot of their signature thrash with elements of speed, power, hardcore, and a dash of melody entwined with some of their catchiest choruses to date.  So, it is somewhat inconsistent here and there, but some variation at times is only a good thing for this band.
The same year, Tankard redressed the humorous balance with their Tankwart side project of German language covers done in a Punk/Metal style, much to their fans' amusement.
"Aufgetankt" (1994) is the debut album by Tankwart, the side project of Tankard. The project covered a number of German hits from the notorious ‘Neue Deutsche Welle’ era of Pop music from the early 80s. It includes "Liebesspieler" of Die Toten Hosen, "Elke" of Die Artze, "Sternenhimmel" of Hubertkah, "Hurra, Hurra Die Schule Bennt" of Extrabeit and "Skandal Im Sperrbezirk" of the Spider Murphy Gang.  Tankwart means gas station attendants.

The debut solo album of classical music by legendary Finnish Operatic soprano singer.
Recorded 21st and 22nd November 2011 at Lakeuden Risti Church, built on the design by architect Alvar Aalto in the middle of XX century in the Finnish town Seinäjoki, the album offers twelve different compositions of the classical "Ave Maria" theme, performed by Tarja with music of various composers, among them Paolo Tosti, David Popper, Astor Piazzolla, Johann Sebastian Bach / Charles Gounod and many others. The closing track of the album presents a composition by Tarja Turunen herself. On the album, you can hear the church organ, cello and harp.
Tarja Turunen started her career with classical music. The classically trained soprano studied Church Music at Sibelius Academy in Finland as well as German Lied at the Music University of Karlsruhe, Germany. From 1996 to 2005, Turunen was the vocalist in symphonic metal band Nightwish. Aftere, she started solo-cariere as a Tarja band.
"All the musicians performed the songs together with me without an audience. Nothing has been edited nor any studio tricks have been used. So what you hear on the record, is purely how the songs sounded in Lakeuden Risti church during the recording session", - Tarja Turunen.

The fourth full-length studio album by legendary Finnish Operatic/Symphonic Rock/Metal singer and she’s band.
"Colours In The Dark" is riskier than Tarja’s previous three solo albums. The album is a huge panorama of Operatic Metal, where some artistic experimentation is attempted, but repeatedly crushed under the album’s bombast. The dramatic scope of the strings and choirs, guitars and woodwinds, arrangement and high-gloss presentation is truly wondrous.
Tarja Turunen’s voice is a force of nature, dominant and dominating. The former lead singer for Nightwish fills her lungs and turns "Colours In The Dark" into the fury of the four winds. From the bombastic opener “Victim of Ritual” to the exquisite closer “Medusa”, in which she shares her hurricane-proof microphone with Blue October’s Justin Furstenfeld, "Colours In The Dark" is a colossal battle royal of operatic soprano, keyboard orchestra and Alex Schlopp’s ENGL amplifier madness. 
On "Colours In The Dark", the guitars are to die for, so to speak. The rhythm section is perfection and above all, Christian Kretschmar’s keyboards are magical. There are many instances where the orchestral emulation invokes the old question, is it The Hamburg Philharmonic or is it a bank of Access synthesizers?
The name of the album, as the cover image, came as a metaphor from the idea that life has a large range of colours and the dark absorbs all of them, containing every colour. Titles of the album's songs were revealed from times to times through Tarja's blog, like she did with "My Winter Storm" (2007). The album's name came out of the song "Until Silence". This is the third time the album's name came out of one of the songs. The artwork and some promotional pictures for this album were taken mainly in India during the What Lies Beneath World Tour in 2011. 
This is definitely one of the brightest albums in Rock in 2013 and proves to be a milestone for Heavy Symphonic Rock.

The sixth full-length studio album by legendary Finnish Gothic Orchestral/Symphonic soprano singer.
It’s also the second classical and Christmas album of Tarja.
While Tarja Turunen is well known for wedding the Operatic to Symphonic Metal, she forgoes the latter entirely on "From Spirits And Ghosts (Score For A Dark Christmas)". Right in time for the holiday season, Tarja delivers the soundtrack to a darker Christmas – an exploration of the other side of Christmas - the Christmas of the lonely people and the missing ones.
Recorded during the summer of 2017 in the Caribbean, mixed in Texas, and mastered in New York, the set includes 11 classic carols and other songs associated with the season as well as a new track recorded in the same manner. Turunen produced the collection with the American, Emmy Award-winning film score composer Jim Dooley (who also handled arrangements), and British producer Tim Palmer (Pearl Jam, David Bowie, U2, the Cure, etc).
Though Turunen's voice is characteristically crystalline, the Gothic orchestral treatments of the traditional holiday material, beginning with downright spooky album-opener "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel", are sometimes akin to the gloomy and monumental atmospheres created by Dead Can Dance. This feel saturates other tunes here such as the heartbreakingly lovely "Pie Jesu", the wildly dramatic "O Tannenbaum", and amazingly enough, the album's greatest surprise "Feliz Navidad". The melancholy in the relatively sparse charts on "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" creates an even greater sense of intimacy, while closer "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" is drenched in echo and electronics aside a celeste and chamber instruments, creating an eerie feel to send the album off. "Together," the lone new track, is a bittersweet seasonal song with Turunen fronting a full chorus, as triangles, swelling strings, and tympanies fill up the space behind and around her – it's as lovely as it is sad. The outlier is the hymn "Amazing Grace", stitched together with pulsing synths, low-end brass, and reverb before the entire orchestra floods the foreground.
Somehow, Turunen's aesthetic principles shoehorns the tune to fit seamlessly into the mix. Given the absence of Metal on "Spirits And Ghosts", it was interesting to see how it sits with her legions of fans. At all, the album has been warmly acclaimed by critics and fans alike, who have noted the dark twist Turunen achieved on the album and the combination of different languages.
With the album release, comes also Tarja Turunen's first graphic novel, "From Spirits And Ghosts (Novel For A Dark Christmas)". The 40-page novel is about the world of dark Christmas, scripted by Peter Rogers with accompanying art by Conor Boyle. The "novel for a dark Christmas" revolves around Tarja's two characters, the dark and light one, bringing together lonely souls during the festive season.

The seventh full-length studio album by legendary Finnish Operatic/Symphonic Rock/Metal soprano singer and she’s band.
As the saying goes, not all that glitters is gold. But then again, not all that is gold necessarily glitters. It was this idea that struck Tarja Turunen as she began work on her eighth solo album, “In The Raw”. “Gold, we think, is something polished and perfect, sophisticated, a luxury – but in its natural state it’s a raw element”, explains Tarja. Just like the music on her upcoming album: a combination of sophisticated and refined orchestration, choir and her classically trained voice with a raw, dark heavy musical core. Simply put, “In The Raw” is a gold-plated work of wonder.
Two years on from her last album, 2017’s “From Spirits And Ghosts”, “In The Raw” finds Tarja and her beautiful voice sounding, as ever, truly stunning. Working with many of the same musicians and production team as before, the intention was to bring out the idea of rawness to match the feelings Tarja was having from the very beginning of the process. The album finds Tarja going to raw, personal places in her lyrics. Opening herself up more than ever before, she says she was left feeling naked by her honesty, but also pleased at where she had gone with her words.
Tarja Turunen joined forces with other Heavy Metal vocalists such as Soilwork vocalist Björn "Speed" Strid, Tommy Karevik of Kamelot, and Lacuna Coil's Cristina Scabbia, thus including in the album vocal collaborations with them. Strid is featured in "Dead Promises", Scabbia's vocals can be heard in "Goodbye Stranger", and Karevik is featured in "Silent Masquerade".
"In The Raw" unites the energy of Rock and Metal with Tarja's Classically trained voice and love for refined Orchestral melodies, truly in the best way possible. The album reminds how good Symphonic Metal can be: vocal performances executed to perfection, versatile songwriting, thoughtful arrangements, deeply talented musicians, excellent production values.
"In The Raw" has been widely acclaimed by both Heavy Metal fans and music critics in general, and giving fans to add another golden gem by the Queen of Heavy Rock to their collection.

The second live album by legendary Finnish Operatic/Symphonic Rock/Metal singer, and she’s band.
As we all know, Nightwish and Tarja decided to break up. The Finish singer with the enormous voice decided to continue releasing solo albums - four up till now. Next to those long plays, she also had two live releases for now.
Knowing that her husband, Marcelo Cabuli, is from Argentina, it isn't a too big step to understand that this country became almost a second home for Tarja. And what is also more obvious than recording a show in Buenos Aires. The concert from this live release took place in 2011. It was March 27 when Tarja performed a show in the Luna Park in Buenos Aires
"Luna Park Ride" is a documentation of Tarja's live skills, and is definitely a collector's piece. Tarja performs her songs sovereignly live on stage. Whether they are solo songs like the powerful "I Walk Alone" and "I Feel Immortal" or even some Nightwish songs like "Stargazers" or "Wishmaster" - she always gets the crowd going with her flesh-crawling voice and this record might be also of interest for old Nightwish fans who still mourn her leaving of the popular Finnish Symphonic Metal band as she remained in a similar field musically, being more Rock and less Epic than the band that made her famous, though. 
If you've ever been to a Tarja live show and loved it, this is a great way to keep the memories alive. "Luna Park Ride" was mixed by Tim Palmer, who has found the perfect balance between keeping the recordings organic and polished. This album makes something special and exciting for fans of Tarja and female fronted bombastic Metal.

The first re-release of the second full-length studio album by legendary Finnish Symphonic Metal/Rock band.
Tarja Turunen is the exceptionally gifted singer who rose to prominence as the voice and the face of Finnish outfit Nightwish. With her unique tones and striking stage presence having played a key role in making Nightwish a major, multi-platinum success.
The gifted Finnish vocalist and multi-instrumentalist unveiled her wildly-anticipated solo debut CD/DVD set, interfusing the worlds of Metal, Hard Rock, Opera, and Atmospheric soundtrack. This is the first album to consist mainly of new and original songs specifically written by or for Turunen. The album was released by Universal Music on 19 November 2007 in Finland, on 2 January 2008 in South America and on February 26 in North America and in the United Kingdom was also released a special version limited in 300 copies.
The album was recorded with the collaboration of various artists, including cellist Martin Tillman, guitarist Kiko Loureiro and composer James Dooley, with Turunen also playing additional keyboards. The album contains several music styles including Alternative Rock and Classical music, and it was recorded in different studios in Finland, Brazil, Ireland, USA, Spain, Switzerland, Germany and the Czech Republic.
"My Winter Storm" has sold Platinum in Finland and Double Platinum in Russia, and also reached Tarja's first Gold Disc in her entire career in the Czech Republic; the album spent two and a half months on the Official Finnish Albums Chart, reaching the highest position right during the first week, also spending four months on German Top 100, two months on Swiss Top 100 and also a full month on the Austrian Top 40, ending 2007 at 11th position on Billboard's Top 100 European albums with more than 500 000 copies sold.
To promote the album, Tarja played the Storm World Tour that took place from Berlin on November 25, 2007, to London on October 19, 2009.

The first studio mini-album by legendary Finnish Operatic/Symphonic Rock/Metal soprano singer and she’s band.
“The Brightest Void” is the second part of the sixth full-length album, “The Shadow Self”, although, chronologically, it was released before “The Shadow Self”. It has to be considered as prequel because, musically speaking, it carries on from where the second full-length left off, keeping the same vibe of diverse sounds and featuring more guest vocalists, such as Michael Monroe (ex-Hanoi Rocks) and Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers) playing drums.
“An Empty Dream” is the highlight of the album, with an ethereal arrangement contrasted by Tarja’s warm, emotional vocals. The album also includes a new mix of Tarja’s duet with Within Temptation, “Paradise (What About Us)”, but the absolute surprise of this release is definitely the cover of James Bond’s “Goldfinger”, originally sung by legendary singer Shirley Bassey. The arrangement is absolutely fantastic, and Tarja’s voice shifts from lower notes to the heavier moments of the song with great confidence.
Overall, Tarja demonstrated that she is not bound by genre labels and that she can elegantly put her own spin on anything she sings. This release is a challenging work that never gets boring or repetitive; a treat for fans and a statement for anyone who ever doubted Tarja’s skills.
Beside Within Temptation, album guests list features: Michael Monroe (ex- Hanoi Rocks), Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Toni Turunen, Mike Terrana, Alex Scholpp (Sinner), Max Lilja (ex- Apocalyptica, Hevein), Julián Barrett (Asspera, Barilari & Lörihen), Kevin Chown (Edwin Dare & Mike Terrana), Doug Wimbish (Living Colour), Torsten Stenzel (York, ex- Tarja), Peter Barrett, Christian Kretschmar, Bart Hendrickson, Guillermo De Medio, Luis Conte, Mervi Myllyoja, Fernando Scarcella, Tim Palmer, Nicolas Polo, Jim Dooley, Miguel Ricardo Borzi.
Track "An Empty Dream" is originally Main Theme from "Corazón Muerto" ("Dead Heart");

The fifth full-length studio album by legendary Finnish Operatic/Symphonic Rock/Metal soprano singer and she’s band.
The prequel of "The Shadow Self", named "The Brightest Void", was released on 3 June the same year with nine tracks. It is an album by itself, but also ties together with "The Shadow Self". "The Brightest Void" is the second part of the "The Shadow Self", although, chronologically, it was released before "The Shadow Self". It has to be considered as prequel because, musically speaking, it carries on from where the second full-length left off, keeping the same vibe of diverse sounds.
"The Shadow Self" was once again mixed by Tim Palmer at '62 Studios, in Austin, Texas. A simple and plodding guitar progression and classical instruments are layered to create a massive and lush orchestral sound. On top of that is Tarja’s voice, which has trained soprano and doves flying over a mountain crest after being released during a rich couple’s wedding written all over it… Once again, the great album from multi-talented Tarja Soile Susanna Turunen-Cabuli!

Re-release of the third full-length album by the legendary American Death Metal/Grindcore band.
US Grindcore legend is back with a brutal crack of skull and bones! "Hordes Of Zombies" are unleashed onto the world in a massive riff avalanche that leaves no doubt that this genre defining band originating from Los Angeles in 1987 is delivering yet another masterpiece of sonic destruction.
True to the American interpretation of Grindcore Terrorizer amalgamate the most forceful elements of Death and Thrash into a true juggernaut of Metal. Since their famed debut "World Downfall" (1989), this beast has been driven by the relentless and precise pounding of Pete Sandoval (Morbid Angel), who delivers yet another jaw-dropping barrage. Fans will be delighted to see Morbid Angel frontman David Vincent once more returning to play bass on this album. They will also be glad to hear that excellent singer Wolf aka Anthony Rezhawk (Resistant Culture), who already refined the highly acclaimed second album "Darker Days Ahead" (2006) is again adding his resonant and fierce growls as well. The new line-up is completed by Katina Culture (Resistant Culture), who is replacing the sadly late Jesse Pintado (August 28th, 2006) on guitar.
Terrorizer continues in the vein of their previous releases, but with added years of experience and musicianship. Their mature and effective songwriting is sonically refined by Dan Swanö at Unisound Studios!
Get ready: the Godfathers of Grindcore are back from the undead!!!

The fourth full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
By 1990, Testament was one of Thrash Metal's Premier acts, easily standing tall with the Big Four of Thrash. An early Bay-area contender, the band has made three solid albums and were poised to make it big with their forth effort, "Souls Of Black".
The band certainly had found their signature sound by the time this album was recorded, and the band managed to capture that sound even without former producer Alex Perialas (this is the first album of Testament recorded without him). "Souls Of Black" unites the Thrashers with the better-known Michael Rosen. With Perialas having served Testament so well, many headbangers wondered how great an impact this change would have on the unit. But they needn't have worried - Testament sounds very much like it did on its three previous albums, and is as heavy as ever.
Although the band recorded this album without the usual producer, the line-up remained unchanged. By this point in the band's career, each member had made their talent known. Alex Skolnick as always managed to crank out some really impressive and melodic guitar solos, and a few of the riffs were extremely memorable. The drums and bass remain solid. The vocals sound very nice, with Chuck Billy giving some of his best performances in tracks like "The Legacy" and "Falling Fast".
In order to promote "Souls Of Black", Testament supported Megadeth, Slayer and Suicidal Tendencies in Europe on the Clash Of The Titans Tour.
The album entered the Billboard 200 album charts on November 3, 1990, peaking at number 73 and remaining on the chart for eight weeks. "Souls Of Black" is also seen as an influential guitar album, being ranked number nine on Guitar World Magazine's top ten list of guitar albums of 1990.
"Souls Of Black" did moderately well, but was not the huge success the band was hoping for. This album would be a precursor to more traditional styles of Metal found on its follow-up "The Ritual", and this release marked the end of an era for Testament. Though it did not introduce anything new and nowhere near as good as "The New Order" the music found here is still powerful and heavy as hell. "Souls of Black" is an acceptable effort for long-time fans of the band!!
