The fourth full-length studio album by legendary Finnish Operatic/Symphonic Rock/Metal singer and she’s band.
"Colours In The Dark" is riskier than Tarja’s previous three solo albums. The album is a huge panorama of Operatic Metal, where some artistic experimentation is attempted, but repeatedly crushed under the album’s bombast. The dramatic scope of the strings and choirs, guitars and woodwinds, arrangement and high-gloss presentation is truly wondrous.
Tarja Turunen’s voice is a force of nature, dominant and dominating. The former lead singer for Nightwish fills her lungs and turns "Colours In The Dark" into the fury of the four winds. From the bombastic opener “Victim of Ritual” to the exquisite closer “Medusa”, in which she shares her hurricane-proof microphone with Blue October’s Justin Furstenfeld, "Colours In The Dark" is a colossal battle royal of operatic soprano, keyboard orchestra and Alex Schlopp’s ENGL amplifier madness. 
On "Colours In The Dark", the guitars are to die for, so to speak. The rhythm section is perfection and above all, Christian Kretschmar’s keyboards are magical. There are many instances where the orchestral emulation invokes the old question, is it The Hamburg Philharmonic or is it a bank of Access synthesizers?
The name of the album, as the cover image, came as a metaphor from the idea that life has a large range of colours and the dark absorbs all of them, containing every colour. Titles of the album's songs were revealed from times to times through Tarja's blog, like she did with "My Winter Storm" (2007). The album's name came out of the song "Until Silence". This is the third time the album's name came out of one of the songs. The artwork and some promotional pictures for this album were taken mainly in India during the What Lies Beneath World Tour in 2011. 
This is definitely one of the brightest albums in Rock in 2013 and proves to be a milestone for Heavy Symphonic Rock.

The second live album by legendary Finnish Operatic/Symphonic Rock/Metal singer, and she’s band.
As we all know, Nightwish and Tarja decided to break up. The Finish singer with the enormous voice decided to continue releasing solo albums - four up till now. Next to those long plays, she also had two live releases for now.
Knowing that her husband, Marcelo Cabuli, is from Argentina, it isn't a too big step to understand that this country became almost a second home for Tarja. And what is also more obvious than recording a show in Buenos Aires. The concert from this live release took place in 2011. It was March 27 when Tarja performed a show in the Luna Park in Buenos Aires
"Luna Park Ride" is a documentation of Tarja's live skills, and is definitely a collector's piece. Tarja performs her songs sovereignly live on stage. Whether they are solo songs like the powerful "I Walk Alone" and "I Feel Immortal" or even some Nightwish songs like "Stargazers" or "Wishmaster" - she always gets the crowd going with her flesh-crawling voice and this record might be also of interest for old Nightwish fans who still mourn her leaving of the popular Finnish Symphonic Metal band as she remained in a similar field musically, being more Rock and less Epic than the band that made her famous, though. 
If you've ever been to a Tarja live show and loved it, this is a great way to keep the memories alive. "Luna Park Ride" consists of two CDs, featuring a recording of her live show in Buenos Aires' Luna Park and recordings of various festivals she performed at in Europe. It was mixed by Tim Palmer, who has found the perfect balance between keeping the recordings organic and polished. These two CDs makes something special and exciting for fans of Tarja and female fronted bombastic Metal.

The third full-length studio album by legendary American Death Metal/Grindcore band.
US Grindcore legend is back with a brutal crack of skull and bones! "Hordes Of Zombies" are unleashed onto the world in a massive riff avalanche that leaves no doubt that this genre defining band originating from Los Angeles in 1987 is delivering yet another masterpiece of sonic destruction.
True to the American interpretation of Grindcore Terrorizer amalgamate the most forceful elements of Death and Thrash into a true juggernaut of Metal. Since their famed debut "World Downfall" (1989), this beast has been driven by the relentless and precise pounding of Pete Sandoval (Morbid Angel), who delivers yet another jaw-dropping barrage. Fans will be delighted to see Morbid Angel frontman David Vincent once more returning to play bass on this album. They will also be glad to hear that excellent singer Wolf aka Anthony Rezhawk (Resistant Culture), who already refined the highly acclaimed second album "Darker Days Ahead" (2006) is again adding his resonant and fierce growls as well. The new line-up is completed by Katina Culture (Resistant Culture), who is replacing the sadly late Jesse Pintado (August 28th, 2006) on guitar.
Terrorizer continue in the vein of their previous releases, but with added years of experience and musicianship. Their mature and effective songwriting is sonically refined by Dan Swanö at Unisound Studios!
Get ready: the Godfathers of Grindcore are back from the undead!!!

The fourth full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
By 1990, Testament was one of Thrash Metal's Premier acts, easily standing tall with the Big Four of Thrash. An early Bay-area contender, the band has made three solid albums and were poised to make it big with their forth effort, "Souls Of Black".
The band certainly had found their signature sound by the time this album was recorded, and the band managed to capture that sound even without former producer Alex Perialas (this is the first album of Testament recorded without him). "Souls Of Black" unites the Thrashers with the better-known Michael Rosen. With Perialas having served Testament so well, many headbangers wondered how great an impact this change would have on the unit. But they needn't have worried - Testament sounds very much like it did on its three previous albums, and is as heavy as ever.
Although the band recorded this album without the usual producer, the line-up remained unchanged. By this point in the band's career, each member had made their talent known. Alex Skolnick as always managed to crank out some really impressive and melodic guitar solos, and a few of the riffs were extremely memorable. The drums and bass remain solid. The vocals sound very nice, with Chuck Billy giving some of his best performances in tracks like "The Legacy" and "Falling Fast".
In order to promote "Souls Of Black", Testament supported Megadeth, Slayer and Suicidal Tendencies in Europe on the Clash Of The Titans Tour.
The album entered the Billboard 200 album charts on November 3, 1990, peaking at number 73 and remaining on the chart for eight weeks. "Souls Of Black" is also seen as an influential guitar album, being ranked number nine on Guitar World Magazine's top ten list of guitar albums of 1990.
"Souls Of Black" did moderately well, but was not the huge success the band was hoping for. This album would be a precursor to more traditional styles of Metal found on its follow-up "The Ritual", and this release marked the end of an era for Testament. Though it did not introduce anything new and nowhere near as good as "The New Order" the music found here is still powerful and heavy as hell. "Souls of Black" is an acceptable effort for long-time fans of the band!!

The eighth full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
Originally released in 1999, the album came at a time when the Metal’s winds were shifting: Nu-Metal had peaked, Death Metal was on the rise, and every classic band under the sun seemed to be reuniting. Testament always capable of weathering any industry storm, faced the challenge by creating one of the most brutal and relevant albums in its career.
Co-produced by the last original remaining band members at that time Chuck Billy and Eric Peterson, this is the first album featuring new artists James Murphy (Death, Obituary), Steve DiGiorgio (Death, Sadus, Autopsy) and Dave Lombardo (Slayer). Billy, Peterson and Lombardo, along with long time Testament collaborator Del James, are also given composer credits on the album.
The album was reissued 2008 with an instrumental bonus track increasing the new track total to twelve.
"The Gathering" reached #48 on the German album charts.
This is one of the most furious and inspired modern Thrash Metal albums ever and one of Testament’s best. This is a brilliant Thrash Metal album. Fans of the genre should own this album, if only because good Thrash Metal albums were a rarity back in the late 1990’s. But even if that wasn’t true, this is a quality album that deserves to be heard by anyone who has a heart for this genre!
Reissue from 2022 with a back cover, that differs in barcode and label info from the reissues in 2018 and 2020.

The debut full-length studio album by legendary American Thrash Metal band.
Comparable to Slayer, Megadeth and Metallica, Testament is one of Thrash Metal's more accessible and best-known bands. “The Legacy” was an Underground hit and is widely considered to be the band's best album, although it did not break the band into the Rock mainstream. Testament quickly earned respect in Thrash Metal circles with its debut album, a relentlessly heavy and promising effort focusing on such subjects as the occult, witchcraft, nuclear war and global destruction. A song titled "The Legacy" was later released on the 1990 album “Souls Of Black”.

The second full-length studio album by Portuguese Blues Rock band.
Their story begins with the natural approach of a talented singer, native of another country, with a collective of seasoned musicians already working the grounds of their home town. The passion for Blues and Old-school Rock’n’Roll was the sparkle that started all. After the success of the debut record “The Sun In The Tenth House” the band is paving the way to secure their place as one of the most promising acts on the Blues Rock scene.
"A Light In The Darkness" was recorded in January - February 2025, with sessions divided into three different studios, always looking for the best features in each one to fulfil the band’s vision. The band underwent a major line-up change, with the departure of guitarist Marco Reis and the recruitment of Ricardo Galrão to fill in the position. His distinctive style brought a new dimension to their sound, and it’s well showcased on the new recordings. "A Light In The Darkness" was produced by the band and mixed by bassist Ricardo Dikk, top-notch engineers were brought to precisely capture the full potential of the songs, and every track was recorded without the use of modern correction technology; no digital quantization, no Autotune, no extensive editing, just raw and high energy performances by the band members.
"A Light In The Darkness", is definitely a leap forward on The Bateleurs sound and aesthetics. Dive deep into this pool of sonic exploration, swamp mud filled riffs, high soaring laments of human experience, thunderous drums from the bottom of the soul, and celebrate the ever-changing, but everlasting ritual of the Blues and Rock’n’Roll…

The fourth full-length studio album by American Mathcore band.
The Dillinger Escape Plan's first release to feature Billy Rymer on drums, since Gil Sharone left the band in September 2008 due to the frequent touring schedule and to focus on his brother's band Stolen Babies.
After having fulfilled their contract with Relapse Records, the band released the album through Party Smasher Inc., their own new imprint in collaboration with French record label Season of Mist.
Former frontman Dimitri Minakakis (who also contributed artwork for 2004 album "Miss Machine") created the artwork for "Option Paralysis".
The Dillinger Escape Plan is a paradoxical phenomenon, fusing the Raw Punkish attitude of Hardcore with the Mathematical precision of Progressive Extreme Metal and the spontaneity of Free Jazz. Though their complex song structures are hardly a recipe for easy listening, in the thirteen years of their existence the New Jersey outfit has risen from being an Underground Thrash band to a genre defining staple in today's musical landscape.
Produced by long time collaborator Steve Evetts (The Cure, Sepultura), "Option Paralysis" features all their trademark furious breaks and asymmetric rhythmical patterns, but surprises us throughout with a tasteful yet haunting melody. Adding Greg Puciato's deeply emotional vocals to Ben Weinman's groundbreaking guitar work, the Americans emerge with a vision, which will take them to new dimensions. The Dillinger Escape Plan boldly went where no band dared to go before. "Option Paralysis" will be an inspiration for the next generation!
"Option Paralysis" debuted at number 78 on the Billboard 200 with 7 100 units sold.

Remastered re-release of the second full-length studio album by legendary American Psychedelic Rock band.
Many of the songs on "Strange Days" had been written around the same time as the ones that appeared on "The Doors" (1967), and with hindsight one has the sense that the best of the batch had already been cherry-picked for the debut album. For that reason, the band's second effort isn't as consistently stunning as their debut, though overall it's a very successful continuation of the themes of their classic album. Besides the hit "Strange Days", highlights included the funky "Moonlight Drive", the eerie "You're Lost Little Girl", and the jerkily rhythmic "Love Me Two Times", which gave the band a small chart single. "My Eyes Have Seen You" and "I Can't See Your Face in My Mind" are minor but pleasing entries in the band's repertoire that share a subdued Eastern Psychedelic air. The 11-minute "When the Music's Over" would often be featured as a live showstopper, yet it also illustrated their tendency to occasionally slip into drawn-out bombast.
The album was a commercial success, reaching number 3 on the US Billboard 200 during a sixty-three-week chart stay in November 1967, and eventually earning RIAA Platinum certification. The album contains the Top 30 hit singles "People Are Strange" and "Love Me Two Times". In 2003, "Strange Days" was listed at No. 407 on Rolling Stone's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time". In 2007, Rolling Stone included it on their list "The 40 Essential Albums of 1967".

The second full-length studio album by German Folk/Power Metal band.
While people usually think of Alestorm when the term "Pirate Metal", there is obviously more than just this band. The Privateer doesn’t sound like Alestorm, not at all! It’s a mix of melodic Death Metal, acoustic passages, here and there are some influences of classic Heavy Metal, and of course some elements of Folk Metal, where the violin plays the lead role.
No song is the same, and they found a good balance between harsher, pounding songs and acoustic, atmospheric songs. In result, an album that keeps your attention and it stays interesting during the playtime of almost an hour.
"Monolith" is a decent record, with songs that are going to be a success when played live. Nice for those fans of pirates!

Debut full-length album by Italian Sludge/Stoner/Groove Metal band.
Do you are familiar with the sound of Southern Pantera? Here you have the way of such bands like Down and Hell Yeah followed closely, and of course one cannot even here the qualities of Dimebag heritage approach. The reasons for the current example are relatively diverse, with well is crucial that The Red Coil does not even show the ambition to build a similarly monstrous groove wall as the Anselmo clan. Instead, consider the five spaghetti equivalents much more, if you think it should remain at Rock riffs or rather the Metallic variant preferred. Before this however misinterpreted: "Lam", the new shekel of the Southern quintet is, in terms of songwriting by far not the worst export, the nation emits boots in this area. But as so often one just has the impression would have been that with more determination and energy strike out a lot more!

Deluxe Editions of the debut EP by Brazilian Thrash/Death Metal band, led by Jairo “Tormentor” Guedz, former member of the original Sepultura line-up.
Tormentor (Ex-Sepultura, Ex-The Mist) is an author and co-author of the classic records “Bestial Devastation” and “Morbid Visions”, and having also collaborated on some of “Schizophrenia’s” compositions. 
The band also includes bassist/vocalist Alex Kafer (Enterro, Explicit Hate, ex-Necromancer), drummer Alexandre Oliveira (Southern Blacklist, Raising Conviction), and guitarist Marcelo Vasco (Patria, Mysteriis, acclaimed graphic artist for legendary bands such as Slayer, Kreator, Machine Head, Soulfly, and Hatebreed among many others).
The Troops Of Doom’s goal is to revisit the essence of ‘80s style Death Metal, exploring a more primitive sound that takes listeners back to that era, while remaining fresh and genuine.
“The Rise Of Heresy,” which features four original songs and two cover versions of Sepultura classics, “Bestial Devastation” and “Troops of Doom”, was mastered by Øystein G. Brun (Borknagar) at Crosound Studio in Norway.
If you’re a fan of the Sepultura's earliest days, you should definitely have a good time here! Without a doubt, EP of the year!!

The second full-length album by Moldovian Atmospheric Death Metal band.
Aggression, heaviness and melody of MDM combined with dark and gloomy atmosphere of Doom Metal. 
The lyrics are about feelings of people, who live in modern world, where thrives distortion of values and worsening conditions for a psychological state of humanity. This album is devoted to thoughts and feelings of people of various "stratums of society", who are poisoned with modern world's influence, the reasons for its occurrence and the values accumulated by generations, and lost by us. 
The theme and atmosphere of the album emphasized by hard guitar riffs, a massive basis of the rhythm section, atmospheric and symphonic keyboards melodies, expressive and emotional growl.
Recommended for fans of: Septicflesh, Swallow The Sun, Opeth and Fleshgod Apocalypse!

The eighth full-length album by the legendary Swedish Symphonic Metal band.
As with many of Therion's other albums, "Deggial" features a choir and orchestra. Unlike their earlier release "Vovin", which seemed to focus more on vocals, "Deggial"'s style leans towards Hard Rock and sounds overall like "Vovin" with more atmosphere.
The first track "Seven Secrets Of The Sphinx" starts almost where "Vovin" ended. First 'slap' in the face - heavy riff combined with "accelerating" guitar melodies and just after.....those "typical" Therion's chorus falling from Olympia (women & men chorus voices following each other) Wow!!!
A start "à la" Maiden for the second song (on first track you could also hear Maiden typical melody style). The chorus (women & men) are back again and this time you have this feeling too hear Mozart's requiem symphony. Violins are great and the mixture with the "unplugged" guitar and this 70's drums sound leaves speechless...
Suddenly an accelerating riff announces the "entry" of "flute, trumpet, cello, contrabass". In two words, the orchestra arrives and confirming it has not been invited just to be mentioned on the booklet. The third song start with this feeling that first two songs have been mixed up; fantastic "simple riff" and again this women chorus starts to hit your brain. This unbelievable melody comes from heaven and seems to be totally timeless.
Fourth track till the eighth one confirms the first impression: A "comet" in the Metal universe.
It is not over. Song 9 starts with a "Running Wild's riff", unbelievable! The "Flesh Of The Gods", the title track, will hits you! Hansi (Blind Guardian / Demons & Wizards) starts to sing and illuminate even more this already wonderful album with his magical voice!
But, it is still not over! Song 10th start like a "typical requiem song" and Christopher Johnsson decide to mix the women chorus with a bombastic "double bass" riff coming straight from Iced Earth! Masterpiece!!
After a good Judas Priest or Immortal album, sometimes you want to rest in peace in your bed. Sometimes you would like to seduce a girl (or a boy) and listen to something more "quiet", but it has to be a Metal Band! Don't search anymore, Therion's "Deggial" has been recorded for this type of situation!!
