The third re-release of the sixth full-length studio album by legendary British Death Metal band.
"Mercenary" is the first Bolt Thrower release to feature significant changes for the band. The music isn't anything new, but the English Grindcore outfit had an updated line-up that included long-time members Barry Thompson and Gavin Ward on guitar, Jo Bench on bass, vocalist Karl Willets, and rookie Alex Thomas on drums (the band's only album with him). Additionally, "Mercenary" is the first recording from the band to appear on Metal Blade Records.
These changes have little effect on Bolt Thrower's sound. The career-long pattern of ever-tightening performances is upheld, as all involved do a splendid job reproducing the band's trademark racket. Thomas' superior drumming is more impressive than his predecessor's; however, some would argue that Andy Whale's borderline sloppiness amounted to a sonic signature, so it's wash. 
"Mercenary" continues Bolt Thrower's long-standing tradition of war inspired Metallic themes, churning guitars and relentless double bass drum assaults.
The cover painting is titled "Contact – Wait Out", which is also the first track on the next album, "Honour – Valour – Pride". "Powder Burns" is a continuation of the song "Embers" from "The IVth Crusade", and leads into "The Killchain" on "Those Once Loyal".
Fans of the Metal act will approve of this 1998 offering, but new listeners might want to check out "For Victory" or "The IVth Crusade" before soldiering on to "Mercenary".

The third re-release of the third full-length studio album by legendary British Death Metal band.
Although it never appealed to mainstream Rock audiences, Bolt Thrower wasn't quite as extreme as some of the other bands on England's Metal-oriented Earache label (which signed a distribution deal with Combat in the early '90s). Compare "War Master" to Carcass' very Hardcore "Symphonies Of Sickness", and you'll see that this blistering Death Metal release is a bit more accessible. Whereas "Realm Of Chaos" was dominated by Grindcore based blasts and riffs, this album abandons most of the Grindcore influences for a sound that is more strictly Death Metal. Moreover, there is more melody in the music and the guitar solos, although some chaotic solos remain. This is also the final Bolt Thrower album to feature the blast beat style of drumming (which can be heard on three songs: "What Dwells Within", "War Master" and "Afterlife"), before it was abandoned and subsequently never used thereafter in the Bolt Thrower discography.
Lead singer Karl Willetts favors the type of choked, grunting vocals that underground Grindcore bands were known for, but unlike such bands, Bolt Thrower isn't always heard at breakneck speed. Bolt Thrower often slows down the tempo, making the morbid lyrics to "The Shreds of Sanity", "Destructive Infinity" and "Profane Creation" easier to understand.
"Cenotaph" is a thematic continuation of the song "World Eater" from the previous record. It shares the opening and ending riffs and it has some lyrical similarities as well.
The album was recorded at Slaughterhouse studios in September 1990. It was the last recording at Slaughterhouse Studios, which was destroyed in a fire.
Despite the slightly repetitive songwriting, "War Master" remains an excellent effort, based on interesting musical performance from a band that finally found its identity. As for the album itself, it still remains one of the most respectable Death Metal albums ever released. Despite Bolt Thrower's limitations, this is an album that seasoned Thrash fans will find invigorating!
This release has been cut by vinyl mastering engineer Noel Summerville, who also made the original 90's cut.
Pressed from original tapes, full dynamic range Yellow Transparent vinyl in gatefold cover.
Please, note! We can’t guarantee the colour of the vinyl, because all the versions of re-release has no colour identification. Ask us to check before the shipping, if you're not indifferent about the colour.

The fourth full-length album by the legendary American Hard Rock/Soft Metal band.
Bon Jovi had perfected a formula for Hard Pop/Rock by the time of "New Jersey", concentrating on sing-along choruses sung over and over again, frequently by a rough, extensively overdubbed chorus, producing an effect not unlike what these songs sounded like in the arenas and stadiums where they were most often heard. The lyrics had that typical Pop twist - although they nominally expressed romantic commitment, sentiments such as "Lay Your Hands on Me" and "I'll Be There for You" worked equally well as a means for the band and its audience to reaffirm their affection for each other. The only thing that marred the perfection of this communion was Jon Bon Jovi's continuing obsession with a certain predecessor from his home state; at times, he seemed to be trying to re-create Born to Run using cheaper materials.
The album was the follow-up to the band's 1986 breakthrough album, "Slippery When Wet", and reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart in its second week of release after making its debut at No. 8. It remained at No. 1 for four consecutive weeks. It produced five Billboard Hot 100 top ten singles, the most top ten hits to date for any Hard Rock album, including "Bad Medicine" and "I'll Be There for You", which both reached No. 1. The album was certified seven times Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. The album also debuted at No. 1 in UK and was the band's first UK No. 1 album. "New Jersey" was released by the Soviet state-owned record company Melodiya, being the first American album ever released in USSR.

The fourteenth full-length studio album by legendary American Melodic Rock/Hard Rock band.
Band's first studio album with Phil X on lead guitar, who replaced longtime member Richie Sambora in 2013. It's also the first album where bassist Hugh McDonald officially replaces original bassist Alec John Such, who left the band in 1994.
Musically, this is a throwback - not to the '80s, but to 2005's "Have A Nice Day", which is the first album Bon Jovi recorded with producer John Shanks. Often, "This House Is Not for Sale", which is the sixth album Shanks has recorded with Bon Jovi, recalls the exuberant singalongs from "Have A Nice Day" ("God Bless This Mess" is a kissing cousin to "Who Says You Can't Go Home"), but where that 2005 album felt joyful, this 2016 album is driven in part by spite. Thirty years into his career and Jon Bon Jovi still acts like the underdog, and he still sings like he has scores to settle. Presumably, some of these outstanding debts may be with Sambora, who did not leave on good terms, but Jon Bon Jovi is determined that "This isn't how the story ends, my friends, it's just a fork along the road," which goes a long way toward explaining how muscular "This House Is Not for Sale" is. Bon Jovi and Shanks may not have done much to freshen up the band's sound, but that simmering defiance does mean this is the band's liveliest album in years!
Music videos were released for every track of the standard album version.
It is Bon Jovi's sixth US number-one album and it also became their fourth album in a row to hit No. 1 in the US after What About Now, The Circle and Lost Highway. "This House Is Not for Sale" debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with 129000 album-equivalent units, of which 128000 were pure album sales. In the United Kingdom, the album debuted at number five on the UK Albums Chart, selling 21448 units in its first week. As of January 2017, the album had sold 174000 copies in the United States. As of March 2018, the album has sold 326000 pure copies in the US.

The second full-length studio album by the legendary American Hard Rock/Soft Metal band.
Bon Jovi's sophomore release found the New Jersey band continuing with its engaging mix of Hard Rock dynamics and blatant Pop-Metal overtones, and primed the pump for the coming popular explosion of "Slippery When Wet". Ever since the keyboard call to arms of the breakthrough "Runaway", Bon Jovi had understood that real success lay in a billowing smoke, soft-focus derivation of true Metal, where Journey-style synthesizers and Soft Rock chorus vocals were the name of the game. To that end, "7800° Fahrenheit" tempered its black-leather Rock & Roll with a rudimentary form of the sound that would make Bon Jovi superstars. They puffed out their chests for the groupie-groping, Mötley Crüe-style catcalls of "In and Out of Love" and made sure "King of the Mountain" rumbled with boys-night-out bravado. But they seemed much more comfortable with the twittering ballad "Silent Night" or "Price of Love," where arena-ready riffing met smoke machine keys and vocal trills. There was even "Tokyo Road", a valiant attempt at the epic scope of Springsteen that featured a Japanese-language intro and full-on character development. It was in these moments - when the tenets of Metal tried on the hairstyles of Pop - that "7800° Fahrenheit" burned its brightest; the professional songwriting and increased cash flow of "Slippery When Wet" just made the existing mercury burst.
The album's title was a reference to the supposed melting point of rock. It's marked the final collaboration between Bon Jovi and producer Lance Quinn. It is also the only Bon Jovi album to feature songwriting contributions from four of the band members, with "Secret Dreams" being the only Bon Jovi song to-date for which drummer Tico Torres receives a songwriting credit. Despite being a fan favorite, the band was unsatisfied with the sound of the album and essentially disowned it once they had solidified their status as Major Rock Stars with the albums "Slippery When Wet" and "New Jersey" a few years later. It is the least represented album in their setlists over the course of the career and excluding extremely rare performances of the song "Tokyo Road" in Japan once every few years and "Only Lonely" a few times during The Circle Tour in 2010, nothing from this album has been performed live since the late 1980s.
"7800° Fahrenheit" reached #37 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and was the band's first record to be certified Gold in the US. It remained charted for 85 weeks and was certified Platinum on February 19, 1987. The singles "In and Out of Love" and "Only Lonely" both charted on the Billboard Hot 100.

Debut full-length solo album by the leader and vocalist of legendary American Soft Metal band Bon Jovi.
“Young Guns II” is a 1990 western film and the sequel to “Young Guns” (1988). It stars Emilio Estevez, Kiefer Sutherland, Lou Diamond Phillips, Christian Slater, and features William Petersen as Pat Garrett. Jon Bon Jovi also made a cameo appearance in the film as one of the prisoners in the pit with Doc and Chavez.
This LP includes songs from and inspired by the movie “Young Guns II”. Emilio Estevez originally approached Bon Jovi to ask him for permission to include the song "Wanted Dead Or Alive" on the soundtrack. Bon Jovi did not feel the song’s lyrics were appropriate; however, he was inspired by the project and resolved to write a new song for the film that would be more in keeping with the period and setting. He quickly wrote the song "Blaze of Glory", and performed it on acoustic guitar in the New Mexico desert for Estevez and John Fusco. This was the first time that "Blaze of Glory" was heard.
Music videos were made for the first two singles, "Blaze of Glory" and "Miracle", and also the fourth (promo) single "Dyin' Ain't Much of a Livin", but not for the third single "Never Say Die".
The album featured guests such as Elton John, Little Richard, and Jeff Beck.
The album peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and No. 2 on the UK Albums Chart. “Blaze of Glory” was awarded a Golden Globe. It also received Academy Award and Grammy nominations.

The debut full-length studio album by legendary American Hard Rock/Soft Metal band.
From the opening track, "Runaway", which rode to glory on E Street Band-mate Roy Bittan's distinctive keyboard riff, to the sweaty arena rock of "Get Ready", which closed the album, Bon Jovi's debut is an often-overlooked minor gem from the early days of Hair Metal. The songs may be simple and the writing prone to all clichés of the form, but the album boasts a pretty consistent Hard Rock attack, passionate playing and a keen sense of melody. The prominence that keyboardist David Bryan (credited as David Rashbaum in the liner notes) gets on this record is an indicator, perhaps, that Bon Jovi had more than a passing interest in the Pop market, which was then dominated by new wave and Synth Pop. Mixing Journey-like '70s Rock ("She Don't Know Me") with shout-along stadium anthems ("Love Lies"), the self-titled Bon Jovi album lay the foundation for the band's career, which reached its apex several years later with that very same combination of Pop melody and arena-sized ambition.
Originally titled "Tough Talk", album was renamed after the record company decided it was wiser to issue the album as a self-titled release. Most of the songs are written by Jon Bon Jovi, Bryan and Sambora. "Burning for Love" and "Come Back" were the very first songs written for the album. Produced by Tony Bongiovi and Lance Quinn, it is significant for being the only Bon Jovi album on which a song ("She Don't Know Me") appears that was not written nor co-written by members of the band.
Aside from hit single "Runaway", songs from the album were rarely performed live after the band released their breakthrough album "Slippery When Wet" in 1986. However, on the band's 2010 Circle Tour, songs including "Roulette", "Shot Through The Heart" and "Get Ready" were performed.
Three singles from the album were released: "Runaway", "She Don't Know Me" and in Japan only, "Burning for Love".
The album was ranked the 11th best Rock album of 1984 by Kerrang! Magazine. The album charted at #43 on The Billboard 200.

Mixing Journey-like '70s Rock ("She Don't Know Me") with shout-along stadium anthems ("Love Lies"), the self-titled Bon Jovi album lay the foundation for the band's career, which reached its apex several years later with that very same combination of Pop melody and arena-sized ambition.
Originally titled "Tough Talk", album was renamed after the record company decided it was wiser to issue the album as a self-titled release. Most of the songs are written by Jon Bon Jovi, Bryan and Sambora. "Burning for Love" and "Come Back" were the very first songs written for the album. Produced by Tony Bongiovi and Lance Quinn, it is significant for being the only Bon Jovi album on which a song ("She Don't Know Me") appears that was not written nor co-written by members of the band.
Aside from hit single "Runaway", songs from the album were rarely performed live after the band released their breakthrough album "Slippery When Wet" in 1986. However, on the band's 2010 Circle Tour, songs including "Roulette", "Shot Through The Heart" and "Get Ready" were performed.
Three singles from the album were released: "Runaway", "She Don't Know Me" and in Japan only, "Burning for Love".
The album was ranked the 11th best Rock album of 1984 by Kerrang! Magazine. The album charted at #43 on The Billboard 200.

For the first time on vinyl, the tenth full-length studio album by the legendary American Country/Melodic Hard Rock band.
The album influences the band's Rock sound with that of Country Music, following the success of a Country version of the band's 2006 single "Who Says You Can't Go Home", a duet with Jennifer Nettles, which reached No. 1 on the U.S. country chart in May 2006. Following the success had with the duet version of "Who Says You Can't Go Home", there are two songs on the album produced in collaboration with other artists, namely "We Got It Going On", featuring Big & Rich, and the single "Till We Ain't Strangers Anymore", featuring LeAnn Rimes.
After its first week on sale, Lost Highway entered the Dutch, German, Swiss, and Japanese album charts at No. 1, and the UK Album Chart at No. 2. It entered the Irish and Australian charts at No. 5, although after the conclusion of Bon Jovi's Australian tour, the album climbed to No. 2. In Japan, the album debuted at No. 1 and sold 73 212 copies in its first week of release on Oricon charts. This is the fourth such time, breaking The Beatles and the Bay City Rollers' record as a Western band (under Oricon's definition) of having three number one albums in the country. In the UK, the album sold 79 000 copies in its first week, an improvement on "Have A Nice Day" first-week sales of 54 000. In Denmark, the album debuted at No. 5, but went to No. 1 after five weeks on the charts. 
Described by Jon Bon Jovi as a "Bon Jovi album influenced by Nashville", the album debuted in the U.S. at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, with 292 000 copies sold in its first week, becoming Bon Jovi's first ever album to debut at No. 1, and their third album to reach that position in the United States. The album was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 2008 Grammy Awards. This was the band's first studio album in the Country Music genre. It was certified Platinum by the RIAA in October 2008.

First re-release of the fourth full-length studio album by legendary American Hard Rock/Soft Metal band.
Bon Jovi had perfected a formula for Hard Pop/Rock by the time of "New Jersey", concentrating on sing-along choruses sung over and over again, frequently by a rough, extensively overdubbed chorus, producing an effect not unlike what these songs sounded like in the arenas and stadiums where they were most often heard. The lyrics had that typical Pop twist - although they nominally expressed romantic commitment, sentiments such as "Lay Your Hands on Me" and "I'll Be There for You" worked equally well as a means for the band and its audience to reaffirm their affection for each other. The only thing that marred the perfection of this communion was Jon Bon Jovi's continuing obsession with a certain predecessor from his home state; at times, he seemed to be trying to re-create Born to Run using cheaper materials.
The album was the follow-up to the band's 1986 breakthrough album, "Slippery When Wet", and reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart in its second week of release after making its debut at No. 8. It remained at No. 1 for four consecutive weeks. It produced five Billboard Hot 100 top ten singles, the most top ten hits to date for any Hard Rock album, including "Bad Medicine" and "I'll Be There for You", which both reached No. 1. The album was certified seven times Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. The album also debuted at No. 1 in UK and was the band's first UK No. 1 album.

The third full-length studio album by legendary American Hard Rock/Soft Metal band.
Despite the moderate success of "7800° Fahrenheit", Bon Jovi weren't becoming the superstars they had hoped, and they changed their approach for their next album, going for a more mainstream sound than their heavier first two records. "Slippery When Wet" wasn't just a breakthrough album for Bon Jovi; it was a breakthrough for Hair Metal in general, marking the point where the genre officially entered the mainstream. Released in 1986, it presented a streamlined combination of Pop, Hard Rock and Metal, that appealed to everyone - especially girls, whom traditional Heavy Metal often ignored.
Hiring professional songwriter Desmond Child as a collaborator, the band wrote 30 songs and auditioned them for local New Jersey and New York teenagers, basing the album's running order on their opinions. Much of the album's content was written by Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora, except "You Give Love A Bad Name", "Livin' on a Prayer", "Without Love" and "I'd Die For You", which were co-written by Desmond Child.
The album went through various name changes during its inception. The main working title was "Wanted Dead Or Alive"; later the band decided to name the album "Slippery When Wet" after visiting The Number 5 Orange Stripclub in Vancouver. "Slippery When Wet" was an instant commercial success. The album features songs that are today considered Bon Jovi's most well-known tracks, such as "You Give Love a Bad Name", "Livin' on a Prayer" and "Wanted Dead or Alive".
Between 1986 and 1987, "Slippery When Wet" produced an amazing string of hit singles, including three Top 10 Billboard Hot 100 hits, two of which ("You Give Love A Bad Name" and "Livin' On A Prayer") reached No. 1, making Bon Jovi the first Hard Rock band to ever have two consecutive No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 chart hits. The third single "Wanted Dead or Alive" peaked at No. 7, making "Slippery When Wet" the first Hard Rock album to spawn three Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 hits.
The album spent eight weeks at #1 on the Billboard album chart. It also had impressive staying power, with 38 weeks inside the Top 5 of Billboard 200, including 8 weeks at No. 1. "Slippery When Wet" was the best-selling album of 1987 in the United States, and eventually reached Diamond certification by the RIAA and current sales stand at 12 million copies, making it the 48th best-selling album in the United States. In the UK, "Slippery When Wet" received a 3x Platinum certification by the BPI. The album also achieved Diamond status in Canada and 6x Platinum status in Australia. It was ranked 44th in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's list of the Definitive 200 albums of all time. As of 2014, "Slippery When Wet" is the band's best-selling album to date, with an RIAA certification of twelve times Platinum, and reportedly over 25 million copies sold worldwide. The album is featured in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

The twelfth full-length studio album by legendary American Melodic Rock/Hard Rock band.
Bon Jovi are back! These living legends return with "What About Now", 12 tracks of booming stadium Rock to suit any need!!
When you speak of one of the most successful bands to have ever come out from the 80's and definitely one of the best artists from the state of New Jersey, look no further and focus on one name - Bon Jovi!!! “What About Now” is an improvement in certain aspects of their last two previous efforts. However, Bon Jovi rarely fails in leaving an impression, whether it is good or bad. A lot of music critics frankly dislike his brand of music for one reason or another, but more loyal fans simply love the guy. There is a certain appeal about him that has won over millions of music lovers to his side. So, it is like trying to decide whose vote matters more when it comes to his music. All the hundreds of thousands who would fill up the stadiums all over the States and in other countries over the last three decades can’t all be wrong. They see something in him that they can relate to. 
In this album, he sings about matters of the heart, the recession in the economy, the shortcomings of the media, and even political things in nature. Socially aware, politically correct, and with a conscious effort to try to continually reach out to both old and new listeners with subjects he knows, they can relate to–that is the winning formula that Bon Jovi has clearly mastered with fans.
The album debuted at #1 in the U.S., where it sold 101,000 copies in its first week, debuting at #1 on the Billboard 200. "What About Now" became their third album in a row to hit #1 in US, after “The Circle” and “Lost Highway”, and their fifth #1 album during their career. The album has sold over 900,000 copies worldwide, going Gold in the UK, selling 100,000 copies.
