CD

The sixth full-length studio album by legendary American Hard Rock/Glam Metal band.
Produced by former Guns N' Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke, "Shrinking Violet" is a harder-edged return to L.A. Guns' roots in Sleazy, crunching Glam Metal a la Kiss and Mötley Crüe.
Every track on this CD is a winner. Seriously, its really good! This is not the raw garage band that L.A. Guns has become known as, but largely sounds like a band trying something new because they have nothing to lose.
The songwriting is actually quite consistent overall; the end result is a surprisingly focused and effective album by a band that appeared all but spent as a creative force. New singer, Jizzy Pearl (ex- Love/Hate), brings a nice raw sound back to the band, as does Clarke's restrained yet muscular production. Gilby Clarke also provided additional guitars on the track "Dreamtime".

The fourteenth full-length album by legendary Japanese Heavy Metal band.
It seemed that it wasn't really Loudness with only Akira left from the original band. Sure, Loudness no longer sound like they did on popular releases like "Thunder In The East" and "Soldier Of Fortune", but then again, those albums sounded like any number of 1980's Heavy Metal bands. The 90's releases from Loudness are quite unique and sound like no other band. Songs like "9 Miles High" are quite good. This particular song is a mixture of classic Thrash Metal layered with some 70's wah-wah guitar from Akira. "Wicked Witches" on the other had has a slow, Doomy, almost Stoner Rock/Metal sound. "Crazy Go-Go" sounds a bit like Loudness cover classic Kiss, although it is an original song. The track six, "Kaisou", is an odd Jimi Hendrix influenced instrumental that acts as an intro for "Babylon". "Taj Mahal" is a Middle Eastern sounding song that seems a bit out of place on this CD. "Mirror Ball" adds a bit of Funk to an otherwise heavy track. "Nighcreepers" is a fairly heavy song that finishes out the disc quite nicely. 
Very interesting brand of Heavy Metal with some slight Alternative touches. Inventive, highly original guitar work and not very annoying vocals. Much better than 80's hairy stuff from the same band! There is a ton of experimentation, but there is still plenty of meat to chew on!!
CD features fold-out cover-booklet and separate booklet with lyrics in Japanese. This is one of those Loudness albums that is only available as an Japanese import.

"Smells Like Children" is a second full-lenght album by band Marilyn Manson. Various contributions by engineer and Skinny Puppy producer Dave Ogilvie, Nine Inch Nails keyboardist Charlie Clouser and new material by the band resulted in an eclectic and unusual combination of material. The album was produced by Trent Reznor and Marilyn Manson and represents an era of the band full of drugs, abuses, tours, sound experimentations and is also a reference to the movie “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang”. All the ideas and tracks for this EP were created and composed during the “Portrait of an American Family tour” and is also the first Marilyn Manson work that features Ginger Fish on drums. Marilyn Manson referred to this album as "An album that looks like an album for children that is not for children". On the bottom edge of the disc you can see the words "Keep this and all drugs away from small children". A number of covers are included on the album, most famous of which is the band's cover of Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)", which helped to skyrocket the band into the mainstream. The other covers on the album are the Patti Smith song "Rock N Roll Nigger" and Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put a Spell on You". Manson's recording of "I Put a Spell on You" was also featured on the soundtrack for the David Lynch film “Lost Highway”.
The album has sold over 1.3 million copies in the U.S.

The seventh full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
With "Youthanasia", Dave Mustaine began moving Megadeth away from its Thrash roots, incorporating synthesizers into their sound and writing subtle, textured songs. The album features 12 tracks with accessible song structures, specifically aimed for radio airplay. The lyrics were also altered, in order to make the music more inclusive for wider audience. These changes were met with mixed opinions from music critics, who noted the band moving away from their Thrash Metal roots.
This is the last Megadeth studio album to feature drummer Nick Menza. It is also the first and so far only album where Vic Rattlehead does not appear at all in any tangible form, save for a limited edition collectible card advertising the Megadeth comic distributed by Chaos! Comics, which shows Vic in Hell reading a scroll.
The album debuted at #10 on Billboard Top 200 chart and was certified Platinum in 1998 by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipping one million copies in the United States. The first 500000 copies of "Cryptic Writings" in the U.S. were released with silver background album cover. Two years after its original release, the album sold 850000 copies in the United States and won widespread praise from Rock radio programmers. The song "Trust" was nominated for a "Best Metal Performance" at the 1998 Grammy Awards and became the band's highest charting song on the Billboard's Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks.

Special Japanese Promo-edition of the third single by the legendary American Thrash Metal band.
It was also released as the third and final single from their fourth album "...And Justice For All". It is one of the band's most popular songs and has remained a permanent live staple since the release of the album, making this the most played song from the album "...And Justice for All". Like "Fade to Black" and "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)", the song starts off slow and clean, but as the song goes on, becomes heavier and faster, leading up to a tapping solo by Kirk Hammett and a dual guitar section by Kirk Hammett and James Hetfield.
"One" was written in November 1987 by Metallica's principal composers James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich. The song's theme and lyrics are based on Dalton Trumbo's 1939 novel "Johnny Got His Gun", telling the tale of a soldier who is hit by a land mine and loses his limbs, eyes, ears and mouth. His mind functions perfectly, however, leaving him trapped inside his own body (which could also be described as a special form of locked-in syndrome). Trumbo directed the movie adaptation in 1971, from which the footage for the "One" music video is taken.
"One" is a favorite of many Metallica fans, and thus is a fixture of the band's live performances. When played live, the song is usually played with guitars tuned down by one semitone (a permanent fixture of their studio and live work since the post Metallica era, save for "Death Magnetic" in the case of the former) and is preceded by pyrotechnics and the same sounds of war such as machine guns, and bombs exploding as heard on the recorded version. The song also features heavy strobe lighting during the heavier half of the song, namely before the Hammett solo.
"One" was band's first Top 40 hit single, reaching number 35 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Rare original 1989 Japanese CBS Sony 5-track limited edition CD single with RED coloured playing surface. Includes a version of Budgie's “Breadfan”, live concert recordings of “For Whom The Bell Tolls” and “Welcome Home (Sanitarium)” plus the original demo of the title track.

Japanese edition of the fourth full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
It is the first full-length Metallica album to feature bassist Jason Newsted, following the death of Cliff Burton in 1986 (Newsted had previously participated on the cover album “The $5.98 E.P.: Garage Days Re-Revisited” EP, which was his first recorded work with Metallica). It's also the last Metallica album with producer Flemming Rasmussen.
Metallica's previous studio album, "Master Of Puppets" (1986), was their last under their contract with the record label Music for Nations. Manager Peter Mensch wanted them to sign with British record distributor Phonogram Records. Phonogram manager Martin Hooker offered them "well over £1 million, which at that time was the biggest deal we'd ever offered anyone". His explanation was that the final figure for combined British and European sales of all three Metallica albums was more than 1.5 million copies.
"...And Justice For All" marked the band's gear-shift from Underground heroes to the major league. Containing the band's first Top 40 Single, the horror-filled "One", the album's hard-hitting lyrics and darkly intense feel delighted their ever-growing fanbase, reaching number six on the Billboard chart.
After years of refusing to release music videos, Metallica released its first for "One". The video was controversial among fans, who had valued the band's apparent opposition to MTV and other forms of mainstream music. Slant Magazine ranked it number 48 on their list of the "100 Greatest Music Videos", saying that Metallica "evoke a revolution of the soul far more devastating than that presented in the original text". The guitar solo was ranked number seven in Guitar World's compilation of the "100 Greatest Guitar Solos" of all time. Additionally, website Noisecreep classed the song ninth among the "10 Best '80s Metal Songs".
The album was acclaimed by music critics for its depth and complexity, although its dry mix and nearly inaudible bass guitar were criticized. It was included in The Village Voice's annual Pazz & Jop critics' poll of the year's best albums, and was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1989, controversially losing out to Jethro Tull in the ill-fated Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance Vocal or Instrumental category. The Single "One" earned Metallica their first Grammy Award in 1990 (and the first ever in the Best Metal Performance category).
Although Metallica's music was considered unappealing for mainstream radio, "...And Justice For All" was highly successful in the US. It became Metallica's best-selling album upon release, peaking at number six on the Billboard 200, where it charted for 83 weeks. More than 8 000 000 copies have been sold in the United States since 1991, when Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales. It was certified Platinum nine weeks after it was released in stores, and 1.7 million copies were sold in the US by the end of 1988. Since its release, the album has scanned more than 8 million copies in the US. It was certified 8× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 2003 for shipping eight million copies in the U.S. With this album, Metallica received substantial media exposure, becoming a multi-Platinum act by 1990.
"...And Justice For All" achieved similar chart success outside the United States. It topped the charts in Finland, peaked within the top 5 on the charts in Germany, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, and remained on the UK chart for six weeks. The album managed to peak in the top 10 on the Norwegian and Swiss album charts. "...And Justice For All" received a three times Platinum certification from Music Canada for shipping 300 000 copies, a Platinum certification from IFPI Finland for having a shipment of little over 50 000 copies, and was certified Gold by the Bundesverband Musikindustrie (BVMI) for shipments of 250 000 copies. It was awarded Gold by the British Phonographic Industry in 2013 for shipping 100 000 copies in the UK. "...And Justice For All" was surpassed commercially by the band's following album, "Metallica" (1991).
The album was ranked at number nine on IGN's "Top 25 Metal Albums". Guitar World lists it 12th on the "100 Greatest Guitar Albums" from a 2006 reader poll, and lists all of its tracks on "The 100 Greatest Metallica Songs of All Time". Kerrang! listed the album at number 42 among the "100 Greatest Heavy Metal Albums of All Time". Martin Popoff ranks it at number 19 in his book The Top 500 Heavy Metal Albums of All Time, the fourth highest ranked Metallica album on the list. It is featured in Robert Dimery's 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. In 2017, it was ranked 21st on Rolling Stone's list of "100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time".

First remastered re-release of the second full-length album by the legendary “godfather” of Heavy Metal.
This album is Osbourne's personal favorite of all his releases. This is the final album recorded by guitarist Randy Rhoads, who perished in an airplane crash in early 1982. It also represents drummer Lee Kerslake's final appearance with Osbourne. 
Osbourne sure delivered a message with this trail of thought. The little above average playing of the guitar God Rhoads did work for the relatively young Ozz fanbase. Recorded back to back alongside with the solo debut “Blizzard Of Ozz”, “Diary Of Madman” concealed the unseen talents of the bassist Bob Daisley. Madman rages through with some dramatic and tragic guitar passages all toward the mad, doomy and sadistic dimensions of this album. This album was done with passion!
To date, the album has sold over 3.2 million copies worldwide.

The debut full-length album by the Irish Alternative/Garage/Grunge Rock band.
The band was formed in 1991 in Dublin and signed to Blunt Records (a label owned in part by Andy Cairns of Therapy?) in 1993. Their first EP, "Paranoid From The Neck Down", was released in 1993. After that band was signed to Roadrunner Records. "Black Mask" EP (1994) was released before their debut album, "Sweaty Handshake". Between these records, Blunt Records released a second EP by the band, called "Spent" (1993). Tracks from both EPs, "Paranoid From The Neck Down" and "Spent", was included in debut LP "Sweaty Handshake" released by Roadrunner Records.
On this album band manage kick up a hell of low-fi noise with guitars all over the place and vocals that sound like they're coming from the wrong side of a violent storm, but a resultant cacophony is surprisingly addictive.
Loose collection of drinking buddies, inspired by: Sonic Youth, Big Black, Replacements, Husker Du, Bitch Magnet, Black Flag, Dinosaur Jr, MC5, Stooges! Loud exciting Rock!!

The fourth full-length album by legendary American Progressive Metal/Rock band.
After the breakthrough success and worldwide respect that Queensrÿche gained from their conceptual masterpiece "Operation: Mindcrime", it was a fair assumption that they couldn't possibly outdo or perhaps even match themselves. "Empire", released just two years after that watermark, reveals that Queensrÿche reinvented themselves (though certainly not for the last time).
While many fans were clamoring for a conceptual sequel, the band offers a song-oriented approach that is more Art Rock and less Metal (though "Empire" does Rock Hard in places).
Far removed from the fantasy and techno-paranoiac themes of "Operation: Mindcrime", the lyrics tackle social and physical handicaps ("Best I Can") and issues such as poverty and regret ("Della Brown"). Geoff Tate, Chris DeGarmo, and company focused much less on the darker side of love so prevalent in their earlier sound, and looked at romance head on with "Another Rainy Night" and "Hand on Heart."
While Queensrÿche lost some die-hard Metal fans with "Empire", the mature sound and tight production of Peter Collins (Rush) saw the band break into the mainstream and hit number nine on the Billboard singles chart with the Pink Floyd-inspired power ballad "Silent Lucidity", which has remained one of the band's set standbys into the 21st century.
The album stands as Queensrÿche's most commercially successful release, reaching triple-Platinum status and the single extracted, the power ballad "Silent Lucidity", reached No. 1 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks and No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Silent Lucidity" was also nominated for the Grammy Awards of 1992 in the categorie Best Rock Song, as well as Best Rock Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group.

The eleventh full-length studio album by legendary German Hard’n’Heavy band.
The band's first album in a decade and a half to not be produced by Dieter Dierks and is widely considered to be the last "classic" Scorpions album. It was the last studio album to feature the "Lovedrive" - era lineup, with bassist Francis Buchholz leaving the band in January 1992.
After the release of "Savage Amusement" in 1988, the Scorpions expressed disdain toward the album, feeling that it was too polished when compared to their other work. Their longtime producer, Dieter Dierks, was replaced with well-known Rock producer Keith Olsen, who would produce "Crazy World" and assist in making it one of the Scorpions' greatest recordings. Their music had certainly changed since "Savage Amusement", sounding a little bit heavier and less glamorous. But even with the Metal sound, the songs remain melodic and catchy. The power ballads on the album, "Wind of Change" and "Send Me an Angel", are arguably two of the band's greatest slow numbers, boasting soothing harmony and lyrics. 
"Crazy World" peaked at number 21 on Billboard 200 Chart in 1991. The song "Wind of Change" reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1991, and "Send Me an Angel" reached number 44 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In the UK, it remains the only Scorpions album to attain Silver certification (60,000 units sold) by the British Phonographic Industry, achieving this in November 1991. In the United States, it is the band's second best-selling album to 1984's "Love At First Sting", and their last one to be certified at least Gold by the RIAA.
"Crazy World" remains the Scorpions' finest '90s album and is sure to please its listeners!

The eighth full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
The second studio album of the band to feature drummer Paul Bostaph.
The album became the first record of the band recorded with a low order and was designated by the band as the most experimental album. It is to be played mostly in Drop C# tuning. The album's title is a Latin term for "The Devil in Music", a musical interval known for its dissonance.
Lyrical themes explored on the album include religion, cultural deviance, death, insanity, war, and homicide. Guitarist Jeff Hanneman wrote most of the album's content.
This is an album everybody can enjoy. It bears the heaviness that many fans enjoy, while maintaining that fast-paced Thrash element fans of classic Slayer look for. It progresses beyond the stale sound developed from "Divine Intervention" and "Undisputed Attitude". Finally, it honestly and wholeheartedly kicks ass!
The album received fairly critical reviews and despite this it sold in the amount of 46 000 copies in the first week and reached position number 31 on the Billboard 200. As of August 16, 2006 the album has sold 290 000 copies in the United States.

The debut studio album by German Folk/Gothic Metal band.
Formed around July - August 2005 by Stefan Hertrich (Shiva in Exile, ex- Darkseed, ex- Sculpture, ex-Death Of Eden), the project was a sort of unofficial follow up to 1999's Betray My Secrets band, which featured Stefan Hertrich, Christian Bystron and Harald Winkler. Spi Ritual features almost nothing but guest musicians playing different instruments, with the only core member being Stefan Hertrich. Maurizio Guolo (Darkseed, Pergamon, Absorbed in Thought) played drums on the album.
Mixing Ethnic and Middle Eastern elements with loud, blasting Metal, vicious vocals, awe-inspiring guitar work, an abundance of ambiance and a roster of guest musicians that could practically take up an entire page of the booklet, Spi Ritual's "Pulse" leaves few areas untouched.
Enhanced CD includes a multimedia section with a video clip "Pulse" + multimedia track with footage, additional music, and texts by Stefan Hertrich and D. Ph. Christian Rätsch. A pressing error caused the digipak to open improperly.
Each CD autographed by Stefan Hertrich and comes with a Spi-Ritual sticker.

The seventh full-length studio album by legendary British Hard Rock/Glam Metal band.
Also known as “Whitesnake” or “Snake Album” (released in Europe as “1987” and as “Serpens Albus” in Japan and USA). The differences are small, but they are enough to make it interesting. The first difference is the track order, which is very different. The album seems to flow a little better the way it is presented here, especially when utilizing "Still of the Night" as the opening track. This has always been one of their best songs, and by far one of the best Led Zeppelin rip-offs to ever be written. There are also two more songs than on the American release, making it that much more essential to fans. Of the two, "Looking for Love" is the standout; a nice slow build to a blustery chorus makes this a classic David Coverdale ballad. "You're Gonna Break My Heart Again" is the hard rocker, and though it isn't exactly the holy grail of Hard Rock, it is a decent song that fits nicely with the other material here. If the option is presented, this is the superior edition and should be purchased above the edited American version. Fans will need the two extra songs, while anyone looking to hear their best album should hunt this down for the superior track order!
The album aimed for more of a Heavy Metal sound than the previous ones but still managed to produce a major Soft Rock hit, "Is This Love". David Coverdale built Whitesnake's commercial breakthrough on a collection of loud, polished Hard Rockers, plus the band's best set of Pop hooks. The Led Zeppelin-ish "Still of the Night" offered headbanger appeal, but it was the big chorus of "Here I Go Again" - one of the very small number of non-power ballad '80s Hard Rock singles to actually top the Pop charts, and the quiet ballad "Is This Love" that really sold the album in spades. The rest of the album generally holds interest as well, and it's easily the band's best!!
The album was a major crossover hit eventually selling over eight million copies in the US (and thus going 8 times Platinum). The album peaked at #2 on US Billboard 200, and #8 on the UK Albums Chart. Its success in the US boosted its predecessor, "Slide It In", from Gold to double Platinum status.

The fourth split release of two Thrash Metal bands - Xanadoo from Singapore and Fastkill from Japan.
"Thrashing In The East" presents two Asian Thrash Metal bands on one CD, coming together to provide 8 tracks of good, Thrashing fun. 

Xanadoo is fast Thrash Metal with traces of Crossover. Band‘s 2010 debut full-length album "Black. Death. Grind. Shit!" contained re-recorded versions of the tracks that were on the band’s previous 2 demos, "Blood Is Dirt" and "This Demo Is Shit", and while the quality of the re-recorded versions were certainly awesome as f**k, the fact that it contained only 1 new track ("Subterranean Hemorrhoid Blues") left fans craving for even more new material. "Thrashing In The East" is then that long-awaited antidote, with Xanadoo finally releasing 4 (well, technically 3) brand new tracks along with their Japanese compatriots Fastkill!
Includes an Abigail cover!

Fastkill is brutal fast Thrash the way it’s meant to be! As though the dosage of speed by Xanadoo weren’t enough, Fastkill begins their onslaught with a rough mix of "Stench Of Hell", off their recent full-length album, "Bestial Thrashing Bulldozer". The raw sound of this rough mix helps to bring out that high energy and intensity that is in the band’s playing, and is definitely a nice touch to the already devastating final version of the track. Toshio’s characteristic screechy vocals are still instantly recognizable, and so is the breakneck speed that Fastkill tends to indulge themselves in.
Sick Tankard cover includes!

Thrashing in the East is one hell of an exciting and enjoyable release, and while it is business as usual for speed maniacs Fastkill, the fresh tracks of Xanadoo definitely made this a noteworthy release as well! The craving is more than satisfied for now!!
