The third full-length studio album by legendary American Melodic Hard Rock/Glam Metal band.
The final album to feature original material by all five original members.
Recording a string of highly successful albums, the band peaked with this album, unleashing a beast of significant firepower and songs that would stand not only the test of time but would also improve with age. Produced by Brit legend Andy Johns (Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, Humble Pie, Cinderella) the album exudes Class-A Hard Rock all the way.
The title track, "Loud And Clear", has a music video with Ozzy Osbourne and Vince Neil as extras. Two of the tracks featured on this album, "Dance All Night" and "She Never Looked that Good For Me", appeared (alongside with the band members themselves) in the 1987 fantasy-comedy film "Like Father Like Son", released the same year.
With not proving to be as commercially successful as their 1984 debut, "Loud And Clear" failed in sales and subsequently the band went on a long hiatus. The band would not issue another release until 1997. 
One of the all-time great yet largely overlooked albums of the 80s LA scene.

The debut full-length studio album by legendary German Melodic Heavy Metal band.
In the 1980s, Germany was a hotbed of Heavy Metal and Hard Rock action - it was Germany that gave fans the Scorpions, Accept and Warlock. Germany was also the home of Axxis, who was never as big as the Scorpions or Accept, but made some decent contributions to the Metal/Hard Rock field.
It was a much different time in 1989, when Axxis burst onto the scene with their debut "Kingdom Of The Night". The Heavy Metal scene was ruled by bands such as The Scorpions, Poison and a host of others that filled the airways with a much more radio friendly guitar oriented Rock that was based on catchy hooks and anthem like choruses. Axxis is one of the bands that jumped on this bandwagon and have yet to get off!
This disc, which was the best-selling debut album in Germany at the time, is filled with all the quintessential trappings you would expect from this kind of band. From the album' openers, "Living In A World" and "Kingdom Of The Night", you get the obligatory fiery anthem like Metal that will have the fist pumping and the crowd singing along with the refrain! Lead singer Bernhard Weiss is given the chance to show the right amount of angst with not one, but two mandatory power ballads with "Fire And Ice" and "Tears Of The Trees".
Guitar work of Weiss and Walter Pietsch is very good throughout the album, and the vocals of Bernhard is as very good too.
"Kingdom Of The Night" is decent and respectable album. It is easy to see why this album did so well. It gives people just what they want without having to delve to deep. This album will bring back memories of music that was less complicated and unpretentious. It was just Rock And Roll!
Vinyl comes with printed inner sleeve with lyrics and photos.

The ninth live album by Japanese Kawaii Metal band.
The chance to see a Japanese band live (especially in the Western music sphere) is rare, particularly with the travel restrictions many bands and artists faced due to the pandemic. On October 10th of 2021, Babymetal entered their 10th anniversary year, and, to round off this very special year, they released a live album, which includes a series of 10 performances which unfolded from January to April 2021at the Nippon Budokan venue in Tokyo, Japan, held in accordance with the country’s guidelines.
Even with the audience in the band’s branded ‘Savior Masks’ on top of their own masks for the show, the powerful chants and cheers from the crowd can be heard loud and clear on each track. Whether joining in with the lyrics, proclaiming their excitement for a song’s intro, or signaling enjoyment in general around the event, this actually helps elevate all 13 tracks, as if a full choir was added into the mix. It makes each song richer and fuller, especially in the mix of songs within the band’s set-list.
From the intro track, the band creates a mysterious but exciting opening, creating anticipation for all listening in as the cheers from the crowd add to the excitement. Even if you can’t see the performers, the band’s dynamic power and energy translates through the show and into the album!
This is an extremely well done live album, where the balance of excellent music and crowd reactions help create one epic sound and experience the moment the listener hits play. An intricately chosen set-list with exceptionally talented musicians in a legendary venue helps create one unforgettable experience that transitions well for those unable to or who have yet to see the band themselves. Playing at Budokan is a goal for many bands, and Babymetal shows they can rock even in the best places in the world! A fantastic listening experience all around!!

The third full-length studio album by legendary British Dance-Pop band.
The album contains the band's most commercially successful Single to date, a cover version of Shocking Blue's 1969 song "Venus", which peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States.
After becoming one of the biggest girl bands in U.K. Pop music history, and after scoring a Top Ten U.S. hit with "Cruel Summer", Bananarama reached the commercial pinnacle of their career with their third album. This album also marked an artistic change of pace for the trio because they began to utilize super hit producers Stock, Aitken & Waterman, who helped them turn the 1970 Rock hit "Venus" into an unstoppable, unforgettable dance smash. In fact, their version was so huge that it became their only U.S. number one hit. The rest of the album, however, is a little darker than one might expect, with heavy lyrics and themes permeating the songs.
Other highlights include the second single, "More Than Physical", which was also produced by Stock, Aitken & Waterman, the moody third single, "Trick of the Night", the saucy "Hooked on Love", the Dance-Pop of "Promised Land", and the seductive "Dance with a Stranger".
"True Confessions" was a departure of sorts from the Post-Punk, New Wave girl band sound that made Bananarama so essential to early-'80s British Alt-Pop music. It represents a shift to Platinum success (which continued with their follow-up album, "Wow!"), and this album, along with the hit "Venus", are prime examples of classic '80s Dance-Pop music!
“True Confessions” reached number 46 on the UK Albums Chart and number 15 on the US Billboard 200.

The second full-length studio album by Polish Black Metal band.
In the same time known as the first album of Bartłomiej's Batushka, "Hospodi" enhances all the unique qualities that made the band such an instant phenomenon, while offering an entirely distinct and fresh sensory experience.
The album boasts the most ferocious and bewitching songs the band has penned to date. Fiercely conceived and audaciously executed, "Hospodi" takes the epoch-shattering essence of Batushka’s debut to a new level of idiosyncratic intensity. From the mesmerizing chants of the opening “Wozglas” to the blazing bombast of “Dziewiatyj Czas” and the pulsing, dark rock melodrama of “Wieczernia”, this is an album full of wildly dynamic, divergent moments, wherein the band’s otherworldly, inspirational fervour meets the whip-crack precision of 21st century brutality.
Perhaps most importantly, Batushka’s deft conjuring of religion’s synaptic shock ‘n’ awe looms large over every scything riff and bellicose scream. By the time fans reach the overpowering climax of the closing "Liturgiya", a true Damascene conversion is practically guaranteed!

The debut full-length studio album by Finnish Heavy/Power/Speed Metal band.
Beast In Black is a Finnish-Greek-Hungarian band that was founded in 2015 in Helsinki by guitarist and songwriter Anton Kabanen, the former songwriter and ex-guitarist of Battle Beast. Like Battle Beast, the band's name is a tribute to the Japanese manga and anime series Berserk.
“Berserker” has a very obvious Power Metal sound, but it also wouldn’t be fair to say that’s all it brings to the table.  Within the ten tracks, your ears will hear a fine-tuned band that also adds in Classic Metal elements and even some non-Metal sounds; they play their music with such fervour and conviction that everything thrown into your ears is going to have honest, raw, emotional power to it. Yannis Popadopoulos was the right person to front this band — his expressive vocals are exciting and contain some of the best range you’ve heard in some time.  
The guitar riffs uses steady gallops, and traditional Classic Metal riffs than they do speed like some other Power Metal bands. It works better this way, as Anton and Kasperio Heikkinen are able to play full force while also keeping the songs grounded firmly into “pulverize your face,” area. Anton knows when to break down the walls and when to hang back a bit, to allow the other elements/instruments to shine. All too often, bands with “one main guy” tend to be nothing more than musical masturbation and too much show off time for one guy, but Anton brings the band together as a team. Together this team, this band called Beast In Black, have crafted one of the best Power/Classic Heavy Metal bliss albums you have heard! If you like this style at all, then you need this in your collection!!
"Berserker" ranked seventh on Finnish charts albums. It's also charted in Germany, United Kingdom, Sweden, Switzerland and France.

The second full-length studio album by Finnish Heavy/Power Metal band.
"From Hell With Love" is a homage to the eighties, so loved by Anton Kabanen – the founder and driving inspiration behind Beast In Black. Anton Kabanen was a founder member and musical leader of Battle Beast before leaving in 2015 citing musical differences. He promptly surrounded himself with a set of quality musicians in Papadopoulos, guitarist Kasperi Heikkinen and bassist Mate Molnar. For this second album, Atte Palokangas has replaced Sami Hänninen on drums.
Kabanen has a supreme talent for writing catchy melodies and hooks. The album picks up where their 2017 debut album, "Berserker", left off, instantly memorable melodies and hooks all delivered in founder Kabanen’s inimitable foot-stomping Power-House style. Virtually, every musical genre (Bar House and Rap) from the ’80s is included, making the album very commercial and instantly accessible across a broad audience.
"Berserker" reached number 25 in the U.K. album charts, this is set for greater things, given that Beast In Black made so many new friends when they supported Nightwish on their recent British tour.
This album has been highly anticipated among Beast In Black fans. They will not be disappointed and should now be joined by a whole legion of new fans.
