The first compilation album by legendary Danish Heavy Metal band.
"The Beginning" is a compilation of rare early releases by Mercyful Fate, and if you thought "Melissa" and "Don't Break the Oath" were great albums, you need to get this! 
The album, originally released in June 1987, consists of the band's first four-song EP, "Nuns Have No Fun" (released on Rave-On records in 1982), the three-song broadcast of Mercyful Fate live on the BBC, and a B-side from the "Melissa" recording sessions.
What a great idea this was, remastering that legendary EP, adding 3 BBC session tracks to it, a rare single and a raw, early version of "Black Funeral".
Overall, this album is a very worthy purchase for any Mercyful Fate fan, as it shows all the elements of their style honed to perfection and performed with raw, youthful abandon.

The debut full-length studio album by Romanian Black/Death Metal band.
Mercy’s Dirge is one of the first Romanian Black Metal bands, formed back in 1991.
As the title suggests, all the songs were recorded live and likely in one take, and that’s actually the biggest pros of this album! Thus, "Live, Raw And Relentless" consists of 11 semi-length-range Black Metal songs. Actually, it is more of a very Raw Black/Death Metal mixture, but it is done in an Old-school manner, from a production to the artwork. Most of the music is very heavily rooted in the mid-80s to early-90s era.
Highly recommended for admirers of Celtic Frost, Atheist, Venom and similar early Black Metal acts!

The second full-length studio album by American Thrash/Groove Metal supergroup.
Three years later, this super-group have reconvened to do it again with their follow-up album.
It’s clear Metal Allegiance approached this record differently, paring down the list of guest guitarists from nine to just three. There are also fewer singers this go around, and they aren’t quite as obvious as with the first album. The main difference with this album is that it feels like the work of a true band and not a project. Yes, there are still guest vocalists on each track, but with this album, Metal Allegiance make it clear that they are a Thrash Metal band making Thrash Metal music – fewer guests, no cover songs, and a greater overall sense of thematic and musical consistency.
On “Volume II: Power Drunk Majesty”, there are seven new guest vocalists, including: Trevor Strnad (The Black Dahlia Murder), John Bush (Armored Saint / ex- Anthrax), Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth (Overkill), Mark Tornillo (Accept), Johan Hegg (Amon Amarth), Max Cavalera (Soulfly), and Floor Jansen (Nightwish). Two vocalists from the first album return - in the form of Metal Allegiance’s “fifth Beatle” - Mark Osegueda (Death Angel) and Troy Sanders (Mastodon). There are also two guest guitarists: Andreas Kisser (Sepultura), Nita Strauss (Alice Cooper), and, of course, main guitarist - the real guitar hero - Alex Skolnick (Testament).
CD includes 16-page booklet.

The ninth full-length album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
Album was released on September 12, 2008 through Warner Bros. Records. It was the band's first album to feature bassist Robert Trujillo and the first to be produced by Rick Rubin (Slayer’s producer), making this Metallica's first album since “...And Justice for All” (1988) that was not produced by Bob Rock.
“Death Magnetic” features very long, technical guitar solos from both Kirk Hammett and James Hetfield, marking a return to the band's Thrash Metal roots. “Death Magnetic” also the band's first album released through Warner Bros. Records, although they still remain with Warner Music Group, which also owns their previous label, Elektra Records. Outside of North America, they are distributed through Universal Music Group as they remain signed to Vertigo Records in the United Kingdom. The album is also the band's fifth consecutive studio album to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 in the United States, making Metallica the first band ever to do so.

The second live album by legendary American Heavy/Thrash Metal band.
Metallica plays with The San Francisco Symphony Orchestra!
It was recorded on April 21–22, 1999 at The Berkeley Community Theatre. This is the final Metallica album to feature Jason Newsted as bassist.
"S&M" contains performances of Metallica songs with additional symphonic accompaniment, which was composed by Michael Kamen, who also conducted the orchestra during the concert. The idea to combine Heavy Metal with an epic classical approach, as James Hetfield has stated repeatedly, was an idea of Cliff Burton. Burton’s love of Classical Music, especially of Johann Sebastian Bach, can be traced back to many instrumental parts and melodic characteristics in Metallica’s songwriting including songs from "Ride The Lightning" and "Master Of Puppets". The other inspiration was Deep Purple's 1969 "Concerto For Group And Orchestra". Purple revived their hybrid musical performance in 1999's "Live At The Royal Albert Hall" after being notified that Metallica were doing their earlier that year.
In addition to songs from previous albums spanning "Ride The Lightning" through "Reload", there are two new compositions: "No Leaf Clover" and "- Human"!
"S&M" sold 300000 units in the first week of release, and went on to sell a total of 2.5 million copies. As of 2003, the album has been certified 5x Platinum.

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".

Limited Deluxe Edition remastered re-release of the debut full-length album by the legendary American Thrash Metal band.
The true birth of Thrash Metal! The album is acclaimed for combining the rawness and fast tempos of Speed Metal and Punk Rock with the technicality and sharpness of New Wave of British Heavy Metal, influenced by Diamond Head, Iron Maiden, Motörhead, Black Flag and the Misfits, making it one of the earliest and most influential Thrash Metal albums ever recorded.
James Hetfield's highly technical rhythm guitar style drives most of the album, setting new standards of power, precision and stamina. But really, the rest of the band is just as dexterous, playing with tightly controlled fury even at the most ridiculously fast tempos. There are already several extended, multi-sectioned compositions foreshadowing the band's later progressive epics, though these are driven by adrenaline, not texture. A few tributes to Heavy Metal itself are a bit dated lyrically; like Diamond Head, the band's biggest influence, "Kill 'Em All"'s most effective tone is one of supernatural malevolence - as pure sound, the record is already straight from the pits of hell.
Ex-member Dave Mustaine co-wrote four of the original ten tracks, but the material all sounds of a piece. The band's musical ambition also grew rapidly, so today, "Kill 'Em All" sounds more like the foundation for greater things to come. But that doesn't take anything away from how fresh it sounded upon first release, and time hasn't dulled the giddy rush of excitement in these performances. Frightening, awe-inspiring, and absolutely relentless, "Kill 'Em All" is pure destructive power, executed with jaw-dropping levels of scientific precision!!
Since its release, it has been certified 3x Platinum by the RIAA, having sold over 3000000 copies in the United States alone.
Limited to 30 000 copies Deluxe numbered Box Set includes 3LPs, 12” Pic EP, 5CDs, DVD, big 72-page book with never-before-seen photos & essays, embroidered patch with band logo, as well as individual download cards included with each vinyl.

The sixth full-length studio album by the legendary American Heavy Metal band.
The album garnered backlash from a portion of the band's fan base because of a shift in tone from the band's previous efforts ("Load" features a Bluesier sound than the band's previous outings). This time it was more Heavy Metal album according to previous Thrash Metal albums.
For a hardcore pre-"Load" Metallica fan, "Load" will come as a bit of a surprise. The album sounds a bit insecure, because Metallica seem to be in unfamiliar territory, trying to get a bit deeper than they normally would. It also has a bit of a Western sounding feel to it, from songs like "Ronnie" and "The Outlaw Torn". However, there are some rocking songs on this album, that still have the essence of Metallica but still sounds different.
James Hetfields lyrics here are much more deeper and complex than other albums, which is a nice surprise. "Mama Said" for example is a touching song of James's feelings towards his dead mother, and is very personal. Fans who likes James' lyrics from previous albums may find these lyrics frustrating, seeing as there is more than the literal meaning to them. That said, songs like "Cure" see Hetfield trying a bit too hard to be poetic, but "Cure" is essentially the only to be trying too hard, the rest are of a higher standard than previous albums.
"Load" sold 680,000 units in its first week, making it the biggest opening week for Metallica and the biggest debut of 1996.
It's debuted (and spent four consecutive weeks) at #1 on Billboard 200. The album has sold over 5,000,000 copies in United States and is certified 5x Platinum by the RIAA.
This album is very far from the "Black Album", and some fans may be put off by this, however, it is still a fantastic album. The songs here are just as rocking as other albums, but wanting to dig a bit deeper, which is a good thing! Buy this album and see for yourself!!
CD includes 32-page booklet.

Remastered re-release of the third full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
“Master Of Puppets” marks the last Metallica album with bassist Cliff Burton, who died in a bus accident while touring to promote the album.
Even though "Master Of Puppets" didn't take as gigantic a leap forward as "Ride The Lightning", it was the band's greatest achievement, hailed as a masterpiece by critics far outside Heavy Metal's core audience. It was also a substantial hit, reaching the Top 30 and selling three million copies despite absolutely nonexistent airplay.
Instead of a radical reinvention, "Master Of Puppets" is a refinement of past innovations. In fact, it's possible to compare "Ride The Lightning" and "Master Of Puppets" song for song and note striking similarities between corresponding track positions on each record. Though it isn't as startling as "Ride The Lightning", "Master Of Puppets" feels more unified, both thematically and musically. Everything about it feels blown up to epic proportions, and the band feels more in control of its direction. The arrangements are thick and muscular, and the material varies enough in texture and tempo to hold interest through all its twists and turns.
Some critics have called "Master Of Puppets" the best Heavy Metal album ever recorded; if it isn't, it certainly comes close. The album reached #29 on the U.S. Billboard 200 album chart and was the band's first Gold record for sales of over 500,000 copies. This was done without any radio airplay or the release of a music video. The album eventually was certified 6 x Platinum by the RIAA.
The album is considered a classic Thrash Metal album by fans, critics and the band members themselves, and is considered to be one of the most influential Heavy Metal albums of all time!!

The fifth re-release of the fifth full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash/Heavy Metal band.
Metallica’s eponymous album, better known as "The Black Album".
Released on August 13, 1991, “Metallica” was a departure from the Thrash Metal style of Metallica's previous four albums and saw the band moving towards a more commercial Heavy Metal sound. Many fans consider the album the initial turning point in their music, where "old" and "new" Metallica are distinguished from one another.
"The Black Album" is one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed records of all time, with global sales of over 35 million, and contains a series of unrelenting singles, "Enter Sandman", "The Unforgiven", "Nothing Else Matters", "Wherever I May Roam", and "Sad But True". It debuted at number one in ten countries and spent four consecutive weeks at the top of the Billboard 200, making it Metallica's first album to top the album charts. "Metallica" is the band's best-selling album to date, with over 16 million copies sold in the United States. It is one of the best-selling albums worldwide, and also one of the best-selling albums in the United States since Nielsen SoundScan tracking began. Up to 2012, the album was certified 16× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). In 2020, the album was ranked number 235 on Rolling Stone's "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time" list. In December 2019, "Metallica" became the fourth release in American history to enter the 550-week milestone on the Billboard 200. It also became the second longest-charting traditional title in history, and the second to spend 550 weeks on the album charts.
The thirtieth anniversary remastered re-release includes a download card.

First official re-release of the first EP by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
EP of cover songs to "break-in" new member Jason Newsted, the "Garage Days Re-Revisited" (sub)title is a reference to side B of the "Creeping Death" single. The Extended Play album consists entirely of covers of late-70's and early 80's New Wave of British Heavy Metal bands and Hardcore / Punk music, rehearsed in Lars Ulrich's soundproofed garage and then recorded in Los Angeles over the course of six days. It is the band's first recording to feature its new bassist Jason Newsted, and also the band's first release following the death of second bassist Cliff Burton.
With Metallica scheduled to play the 1987 Monsters Of Rock Festival at Castle Donington, the band's UK label Vertigo Records suggested them to release an Extended Play album for the situation. Songwriting attempts with new bassist Jason Newsted only resulted in a demo for "Blackened", and frontman James Hetfield broke his arm skateboarding, so the band resorted to recording covers. This is reminiscent to how the European "Creeping Death" single had led to two B-sides that were cover songs, labeled "Garage Days Revisited". Newsted used his construction experience to install soundproofing on Lars Ulrich's garage in El Cerrito, California, where the band would rehearse.
Five-tracks covers EP seemed to confirm that not only was everything back on track after the death of Cliff Burton, but that despite their impending fame, they were still very much in tune with the grubby Metal and Punk scenes that spawned them. You might reasonably argue that the entire NWOBHM nostalgia industry grew from this one record, as these spiky, loose-limbed assaults on songs by Diamond Head, Holocaust and Budgie were most fans’ introduction to those bands’ oeuvres. Of the three, Diamond Head’s "Helpless" remains the highlight, while Newsted’s thunderous intro to Budgie’s "Crash Course In Brain Surgery" is still amongst the most joyous noises you will ever hear. No wonder the fans took to him so readily. Meanwhile, Metallica’s ferocious take on Killing Joke’s "The Wait" (not included on the EP’s originally UK release) is an eerie joy and, most famously, their gleeful decimation of the Misfits’ "Last Caress/Green Hell" proudly muddied the waters between Punk and Metal and, ultimately, must have bought Glenn Danzig at least one new house. After "Last Caress/Green Hell" has ended, there are a few seconds of Metallica covering, deliberately out of key, the intro to Iron Maiden's "Run to the Hills", then it's faded out (Iron Maiden responded to this in 1992 on the B-Side to "Be Quick Or Be Dead").
Yes, the whole thing has been remastered and sounds great, but this was never an exercise in sonic perfection: instead, crank it up and enjoy the sound of one of Metal’s greatest ever bands saluting their heroes and kicking out the jams!!

First official release of the debut full-length album by cult Brazilian Heavy Metal band.
Originally self-released by the band in 2012, it's a comeback album of an old Brazilian band.
Metalmorphose was formed in Rio de Janeiro in 1983. In 1985, they debuted on vinyl with the release of the "Ultimatum" - a split album with Dorsal Atlântica. Dorsal Atlântica and Metalmorphose was two pioneers, when it came to Brazilian Heavy Metal. Every Brazilian Metalhead has grown up with tunes such as Metalmorphose track "Cavaleiro Negro" and Dorsal Atlântica's "Império de Satã" from this split album. Dorsal Atlântica went on to pursue a career in the Underground Metal circle and continued to release albums up to 2005. Metalmorphose however took a different route, and they continued to play live, write and record demo material, but nothing more was released, except a vinyl Single "Correntes" in 1986. After that, the band disbanded.
In 2008, a friend of the band were putting together a tribute to The Beatles "White Album", as it was 40 years of that important album's release. Metalmorphose was asked to participate, and suddenly the original line-up was back together, recording a Metal version of The Beatles track "Sexy Sadie". They had a blast and are since then reunited, and the legacy of this band lives on!
Two compilation and one live albums was released between 2009 and 2010. Then, in 2012, came this first full-length studio album by these forefathers of Brazilian Metal! It was about time!! And now is a time for you to listen it!!!

1x MICHAEL JACKSON “Bad” /CD/
The seventh full-length studio album by legendary American Funk/Soul/Pop singer.
The downside to a success like "Thriller" is that it's nearly impossible to follow, but Michael Jackson approached "Bad" much the same way he approached "Thriller" - take the basic formula of the predecessor, expand it slightly, and move it outward. This meant that he moved deeper into Hard Rock, deeper into schmaltzy adult contemporary, deeper into hard dance - essentially taking each portion of "Thriller" to an extreme, while increasing the quotient of immaculate studiocraft.
Released nearly five years after it's predecessor, "Thriller" (1982), "Bad" saw Jackson exercise even more artistic freedom than he did with his two previous releases ("Off The Wall" and "Thriller"). Jackson composed nine of the album's eleven tracks, and received co-producer credit for the entire album. The album marked the final collaboration between Jackson and producer Quincy Jones.
Nine of the eleven songs (ten on vinyl version) on "Bad" were released as singles; one was a promotional single, and another was released outside of the United States and Canada. The only songs on the album, which were not released as commercial singles, were "Speed Demon" and "Just Good Friends".
With seven hit singles out of eleven tracks, "Bad" could easily be thought of as a greatest hits album. Songs such as "Bad" and "Dirty Diana" show a harder, more Rocking approach to the music. Jackson's universal appeal, along with his hiccup vocals and huge Pop sound, is still very much in focus.
The album continued Jackson's commercial success in the late 1980s, and garnered six Grammy Award nominations, winning two. Apart from commercial success, the album was well received by contemporary critics. Five of the singles hit No. 1 in the United States, while a sixth charted within the top ten, and a seventh charted within the top twenty on the Hot 100. "Bad" peaked at No. 1 in thirteen countries and charted within the top twenty in other territories. It was ranked No. 43 in the 100 Greatest Albums of All Time of the MTV Generation in 2009 by VH1, and number 202 in Rolling Stone Magazine's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. "Bad" has sold an estimated 35 million copies worldwide, making it the eleventh best-selling album of all time. In 2017, the album was certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America, denoting sales of over ten million copies in the United States.
Along with getting one of the greatest albums of all time, featuring hits “Bad”, “The Way You Make Me Feel”, “Man in the Mirror” and other, this is one of Jackson's many classics!

For the first time on vinyl, the seventeenth full-length studio album by legendary British Progressive/Ambient/Experimental Pop/Rock musician.
In 1992, after leaving Virgin, Mike signed a three album contract with Warner records. Starting with "Tubular Bells II", "Voyager" was the last of the three, recorded to finish this contract off. Oldfield stayed with Warner until 2003, where his final album for the label was "Tubular Bells 2003".
Released in 1996 by Warner Music UK, it is a Celtic-themed album with new compositions intertwined with traditional pieces. The suggestion of doing a Celtic album came from the record company, who no doubt had in mind the popularity of acts such as Riverdance at the time. Mike liked the idea, feeling that Celtic music was easy for him, as his natural way of playing music is rooted in Celtic playing styles. What emerged was a very calm, relaxed album, with this feel influenced by Mike's then recent discoveries of meditations and Tai Chi. In an interview from the time, Oldfield claimed that the album was one of his quickest to create, only taking a month and a half to record, also claiming that he composed and recorded some songs in one morning.

The second full-length album by Polish Progressive Black/Death Metal band.
"Into The Void" explores an idea of cosmic chaos and the terror of the unknown, leaning towards Lovecraftian themes.
Album retains the haunting melodic quality and genre's diversity of the first record, while enhancing it with tighter and more rhythmical guitar lines, and heavy hitting drums. The two vocals, for which the band has become known for, are as aggressive as ever, and - together with the brutal guitarwork - create a powerful mix, while pushing the listener further towards the precipice of madness!
For fans of: Behemoth, Cannibal Corpse, Immolation and more!!
