Re-release of the second full-length studio album by legendary British Heavy Metal band.
“Wiped Out” was released just a few months after Raven’s acclaimed debut “Rock Until You Drop” in order to ride the wave of success for this power trio of NWOBHM.
A blasting collection of 12 new songs that maintain the freshness of their Judas Priest inspired debut. If you're a Metalhead who has never experienced the bombastic, Judas Priest-influenced pleasures of Raven, it's best to cut to the chase and go directly to the British headbangers' most essential and enduring output. That means skipping Raven's inferior Atlantic work and starting out with its early recordings. 1981's "Rock Til You Drop" is Raven's best album, but 1982's "Wiped Out" runs a close second. When guitarist Mark Gallagher, drummer Rob Hunter, and the Rob Halford-influenced lead singer John Gallagher rip into such blistering, ferocious classics as "Star War", "Fire Power", "Battle Zone", and "Live at the Inferno", you're hearing a band that was very much in its prime and had yet to lose any of its freshness, imagination, or vitality.
"Rock Til You Drop" and "Wiped Out" are definitely the gems to start out with!
In 2005, “Wiped Out” was ranked number 495 in Rock Hard Magazine's book of “The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time”.

The thirteenth full-length studio album by legendary American Jazz singer and pianist.
It was recorded in February 1962 at Capitol Studios in New York City and United Western Recorders in Hollywood, and released in April of that year by ABC-Paramount Records.
The album departed further stylistically from the Rhythm And Blues music Charles had recorded for Atlantic Records in the 1950s. It featured Country, Folk, and Western music standards reworked by Charles in popular song forms of the time, including R&B, Pop, and Jazz. Charles produced the album with Sid Feller, who helped the singer select songs to record, and performed alongside saxophonist Hank Crawford, a string section conducted by Marty Paich, and a big band arranged by Gil Fuller and Gerald Wilson.
Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music was an immediate critical and commercial success. The album and its four hit singles brought Charles greater mainstream notice and recognition in the pop market, as well as airplay on both R&B and country radio stations. The album and its lead single, "I Can't Stop Loving You", were both certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America in 1962, as each record had sold at least 500,000 copies in the United States.
The album's integration of Soul and Country challenged racial barriers in popular music at the height of the Civil Rights Movement. In the process of recording the album, Charles became one of the first African-American musicians to exercise complete artistic control over his own recording career. In retrospect, it has been considered by critics as his best studio record and a landmark recording in American music. According to Robert Christgau, the album "transfigured Pop, prefigured Soul, and defined modern Country & Western music". It has been called one of the greatest albums of all time by publications such as Rolling Stone and Time magazines.
180 gram black vinyl comes in PVC sleeve with flap and Second Records logo embossed, and with hype sticker.

The debut full-length album by Ukrainian Melodic Death Metal band.
Melodic tunes of the guitars, attractive combination of scream and growl, driving skull-crushing rhythms of the drums, well combined melodics and hardness – that’s all Red Hills were able to unite at their debut full-length album.
Both problems of the whole society and problems facing a certain man are well narrated in the band’s lyrics. What will be our future in the days of moral chaos, lie and hate?
Donetsk’ metallers will dip you into a chain of driving musical events and make you think about the meaning of our life.
Album was recorded at TA Production and produced by Anton Vorozhtsov (Hell:On and Ungrace guitarist).
The design of 12-page booklet made by Russian art-studio Project Mayhem widely known for its work with such bands as: Amatory, Arcana Imperia, Aruna Azura, Dimicandum, Fatal Error, Icon In Me, Illidiance, Lethargia, StalWart, Ungrace etc.

The twelfth full-length studio album by legendary American Alternative/Funk Rock band.
The first full-length release in six years for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Californians have fired up the airwaves once again with the release of "Unlimited Love". A band that loves to jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers is known for experimenting with Alternative, Punk, Funk and Psychedelic Rock.
"Unlimited Love" is one of the testiest and unique albums to date from Red Hot Chili Peppers. It stays unfailingly true to their roots while simultaneously branching out to enhance what has already been solidified. There is an addicting hook to this album that leaves a thirst factor to want Red Hot Chili Peppers to release a follow-up, just for the sake of giving the listeners more. This album does not disappoint and leaves hope of the future for this iconic band.
The album features the return of producer Rick Rubin, who was absent from "The Getaway" (2016), and guitarist John Frusciante, who left in 2009 and rejoined in 2019, replacing Josh Klinghoffer.
The first Single, "Black Summer", became the Chili Peppers' fourteenth number one on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart.
"Unlimited Love" made its debut at number one in 16 different countries, including Argentina, Australia, Austria, Canada, Croatia, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Scotland, Switzerland, United Kingdom and United States. In its home country of the United States, "Unlimited Love" was the band's second number one on the Billboard 200, and the first since 2006's "Stadium Arcadium" album, selling 97 500 equivalent album units. The sales for "Unlimited Love" were boosted by various vinyl variants and Special Editions of the album. The album sold 38 500 copies on vinyl, which were the largest sales week for an album on vinyl in 2022 and the second-largest sales week for a Rock album since 1991. In the United Kingdom, "Unlimited Love" debuted at number one, becoming the band's first chart-topper in eleven years since 2011's "I'm With You". "Unlimited Love" sold 27 426 units in its first week, 20 989 of which came from physical formats. Digitally, the album sold 2 315 downloads and streamed 4 122 album-equivalent units.

The third full-length studio album by Canadian Death/Thrash Metal band.
Riotor's third album is no other than a re-recorded version of their second album, "Rusted Throne", with a new vocalist Mikalcoholic and a new mastering.
Re-recording a whole album is a tricky move for every band. Whether it's one trying to prove they're still young (Diamond Head, Flotsam & Jetsam), one wanting to soften the distrust towards their new member (Exodus), or one who just can't sleep at night knowing that one detail on their album doesn't work (Meshuggah), one thing for sure is that the audience will rarely welcome them with open arms. Riotor fell somewhere between the latter two categories when, in 2017, amazingly decided to re-record their two-years-old LP "Rusted Throne" from 2015. Bassist Mikalcoholic stepped in behind the mic, so original screamer Ismarevil is, at last, comfortably resting his uvula...
Where does "Cursed Throne" differ? Besides the fact that the closer "Triumph of Sorrow" is absent for some reason, and this version includes a new mastering which emphasizes the old-school sound even more (absolute plus), the obvious difference is the voice, which is a more standard Black/Death-oriented rasp (think of a cross between names such as Okkulto and K.K. Warslut). So, it's depends on you which version you prefer to listen. Probably, for the start, better to check both...

Debut full-length album by Italian Thrash Metal band.
When you think of Italy you mainly think of Power Metal, but, fortunately, Italy isn’t only about that. Thrash has a big history upon Italian soil and Rising Dark are part of that! Fresh out the Thrash Master class, Italy’s Rising Dark are indeed a dark horse, where this band have been hiding?! This Thrash monster resides somewhere between some of Testament’s greatest output and modern day Onslaught!!
They were formed in 2005, initially covering Metallica songs (now why does that sounds so familiar?) and then begun to write their own material. In 2008 they released their first demo and afterwards did many gigs. “Apocalyptic” is their first full length release, which features seven songs.
The main characteristic of the album is the heavy sound, even in the parts where it isn’t fast. Although it is mainly Thrash Metal the album leans many times towards Power Metal and other times towards Crossover/Trash, with breakdowns and cutting edge riffs. After a nice atmospheric track there is “Armageddon” and here one gets a pretty good picture of what the band is playing: fast tempos, heavy riffs and some nice technical solos. “This is War” is a heavy track with groovy elements, up-tempo but not extremely fast. “The Bofoid” is the longest track, almost eight minutes, and this means room for diversity: many tempo changes, Thrash alternates with Hardcore, clean vocals with brutal and heavy riffs with technical solos (the band definitely has a thing for them). Next , there  the realm of Lovecraft, with the song “Yog Sothoth”, that kicks in slowly and atmospherically and continues with clean and brutal vocals (nice clean vocal melodies here). Towards the middle things heat up, but only for a while before the song resumes the initial rhythm. “Your Blood Is On My Hands” is the Thrash-iest song, with, heavy riffs and a fast tempo, almost throughout the album, and a nice guitar solo. The last song, “Phoenix” is a six and a half minute ballad that even it is nice it could have been shorter.
Although “Apocalyptic” doesn’t really offer something new to the Heavy Metal world, it is well played with a nice production and songs that will stick to mind. Rising Dark have all the means of greater releases in the future and you should keep an eye on them!!

The fifth full-length studio album, and the second Christmas album, by the solo-project of legendary British Heavy Metal vocalist, singer of Judas Priest.
Released ten years after "3: Winter Songs", beside of the band's members this successor collection includes members of Rob Halford's family and his friends, and was released under the band's name Rob Halford With Family & Friends instead of Halford.
The album features Metallized Christmas carols and traditional holiday tunes, and a few Halford originals in the holiday vein, recorded specially for this project: "Celestial", "Donner And Blitzen", "Morning Star", and "Protected By The Light".
"God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen", "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing", "Joy To The World", and others get the full-on Judas Priest treatment, complete with chugging guitars, guitar whiz solos, and cowbell keeping time in tandem with sleigh bells.
"Celestial" is a fun reimagining of holiday and Metalhead traditions alike. Combine Halford’s voice, family and friends, the sound of classic Heavy Metal and Christmas, and you have a recipe for greatness, which is pretty much what "Celestial" is!
The vinyl includes download card.

The debut full-length album by the Spanish Pagan/Folk/Viking Metal band.
The swords are painted in blood, the barrels are full of beer and the fellow Vikings are singing hymns to Thor!
Runic were formed in 2000 in order to produce something that can be described as Folk Death Metal. In 2001, they released a six-track Demo, "Awaiting The Sound Of The Unavoidable". Their hard work was rewarded with a contract with Massacre Records in October 2005. The result of this contract is "Liar Flags".
Even though Runic have absolutely nothing to do with the race of the mighty Vikings, they managed to release an album that kicks some major Scandinavian ass!!! Their composing skill is more than good, creating nine tracks of pure Pagan Death Metal. If you are a bit into Ensiferum or Finntroll then you know what it is. Everything has been played and structured so good that this record has been given the fresh air it needs. Even the keyboards are used smartly so as to add to the music. The keyboardist is really indispensable to Runic. He knows just where he has to play and exactly what he has to do. Some times making the climate more atmospheric and melancholic, other times starting an all out attack. These Spanish guys really know what a medieval battle looked like!
"Liar Flags" is the best soundtrack a battle could ever have! An aggressive breakthrough by Runic!! Many bands would really beg to release a debut like this one!!! It is a bomb that will explode and won't leave anything alive!!!! Be sure to stand somewhere near!!!!!
For fans of: Ensiferum, King of Asgard, Karlahan, Northland and more!

Special Edition of the sixteenth full-length studio album by legendary German Heavy/Power/Speed Metal band.
For a band that started in 1976, first as Granite Heart, and officially broke up once, Running Wild has staged a modest comeback, releasing three albums since picking back up. Rolf Kasparek now finds himself and the band 40 years since first setting out, guarding a comfortable brand of retro. And on "Rapid Foray", the band services that legacy proudly.
It took Rolf Kasparek nearly a year to recuperate from a shoulder injury, which delayed the release of "Rapid Foray". For most, the wait should be well worth it. Rolf and guitarist Peter Jordan are credited as the primary musicians on "Rapid Foray", with Ole Hempelmann and Michael Wolpers filling the bassist and drummer slots on tour. In the case of Wolpers, he is also one of a team of recording techs on the album. According to Kasparek, he recorded the vocals and guitars at his personal studio while Peter Jordan recorded guitar solos, drums and choruses. A total of three studios were involved in total for the recording process. He also gave mention that only three musicians took part on the album.
It’s pretty obvious that "Rapid Foray" is another highlight in the career of Running Wild. "Rapid Foray" yet retains a classic feel that cannot be shirked by Kasparek even if he was trying for something wholly contemporary. Give Rolf Kasparek a hand for trying new methods to update tried and true German Metal!

First re-release of the second full-length album (the first official) by the cult Israeli Death/Gothic/Doom Metal band.
Salem are pioneers of the oriental Metal movement and of the Israeli Heavy Metal scene. “Kaddish” is one of the first Israeli Rock albums to engage with recent Jewish history and the Holocaust. Most of the lyrics and music deal with political issues concerning the Jewish people and Israel with band's music being a combination of Doom/Death Metal with Oriental elements and high-pitched screaming-vocals. 
The band was formed in 1985 along with the newly born extreme Metal scene and soon released two demo tapes "Salem" (1986) and first full-length "Destruction Till Death" (1987). After five years of being Underground, the band released another demo, "Millions Slaughtered" (1990), with mostly live tracks. The demo sold 1,500 copies and led to a record deal with the German label Morbid Records. Their first studio records, mini-album "Creating Our Sins" (1992) and first official full-length "Kaddish" (1994), were released by Morbid Records and became the first Metal albums from Israel to gain worldwide success.
Mayhem`s founder Euronymous offered Salem relocation to Norway and joining their cult. Varg Vikernes (Burzum), who disliked the band ideals thought differently, sent to vocalist Zeev Tananboim an explosive envelope by mail...
"Kaddish" is a concept album about the Holocaust. Song "The Fading" was played on MTV's Headbanger's Balls rotation and had the band elected as one of the ten best up-and-coming bands in the world by MTV and Kerrang! Album also featured a cover song in Hebrew called "Ha'ayara Bo'eret" ("the small town is burning"). The song was originally a poem written in Yiddish by Polish-Jewish poet Mordechai Gebirtig in 1938, in response to the 1936's pogrom of Jews in the town of Przytyk near Radom, Poland.
Guns N’ Roses guitarist Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal was a special guest at Salems’s May 6, 2011 “Kaddish” re-release concert at Reading 3, Tel Aviv, Israel. Thal says: "Kaddish" is the most true-to-art Doom Metal album I’ve ever heard, completely capturing the horror of mankind’s utmost vulnerability to evil and self-destruction. Being someone who lost family to the Nazis in Poland, this album tore straight to my soul".

Salem vocalist Zeev Tananboim added: "Kaddish" is our desperate cry in memory of the horrors that happened to our families. The Holocaust followed me all my life as a dark shade which is so scary to look at. By doing this album we dared to look at the face of the horror and send two important messages: We will never forget, and we are here to survive".
Without a doubt band's best album!!

The third full-length album by cult American Hard Rock/Glam Metal band.
Compilation of then never released before songs of the band, recorded in Los Angeles and New York City between 1989 and 1991.
Their style here differs from their vintage era, and more of a Power-Sleaze Metal approach, but the songs are still great banging stuff, with very good vocals and guitars, and catchy refrains. Even though the music here quite differ from what the band was known in the 80s, there are a lot of strong tracks and this CD is an integral piece of the Savage Grace legacy.

The seventeenth full-length studio album by legendary German Hard Rock/Heavy Metal band.
A tentative title for the album was "Humanity: Hour II", however this was eventually scrapped.
What makes this album so good? The simple fact that every single song on this album Rocks!
In an interview, Rudolf Schenker explained that their goal was to update their sound to the sound of their classic period in the 1980s. He explained: "If you take the best song elements from the '80s albums, and put these on one album, you come up with the “Sting In The Tail” album. So in this case we tried to re-invent the Scorpions sound from the '80s, using the same DNA after putting in a modern twist, to make it sound like today's music".
The album has a duet featuring the Finnish Symphonic Metal singer Tarja Turunen, in the song "The Good Die Young".
First week sales in the United States were 18.500 copies sold, placing it at No. 23 on the Billboard 200. In Germany, the album debuted at No. 2, in France at No. 16 and in Greece at No. 1.  The album also peaked at Number 2 on the Billboard Rock Charts.
Scorpions promised us a farewell album that would give the fans the same sound you would expect from the band on their prime, and they delivered it!
