TRACKLIST:




Artist : Hirax
Country : USA
Release : Assassins Of War
Year : 2007
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320


Info:

Assassins of War again sticks with the tried and true. However, this incarnation of Hirax does so with precision and power; the band picks up where it left off with 2004's strong comeback, The New Age of Terror. At 21 minutes, this EP feels skimpy, but at least it leaves one wanting more.




TRACKLIST:




Artist : Hirax
Country : USA
Release : El Diablo Negro
Year : 2000
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

Southern California's legendary thrash-grinders led by the infamous KATON W. DE PENA return with three heavy tracks of sign-of-the-goat terror to aid your way to hell. "I See Blood Red," "Slit Your Wrist," and "El Diablo Negro" all laid out for your extreme displeasure.

File Type : mp3 320

Info:

TRACKLIST:




Artist : Hirax
Country : USA
Release : The New Age Of Terror [Reissue]
Year : 2004
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320


Info:

The Punk influences are almost gone, for that king Thrash Metal reigns with a steel fist. 80s Thrash Metal by the pioneers for the whole dirty, rotten mob out there in the world. Really, only people, who had been part of it back then already (in which form ever), can convey such an authentic feeling. HIRAX perfectly transport the feeling of the Eighties into the new millennium, without sounding old-fashioned or dusty.
The CD cannot fully compete with EXODUS ''Tempo Of The Damned'', but it mercilessly blows the last DESTRUCTION albums against the wall (sorry, Schmier, it?s like that). Who thinks that newer bands such as THE HAUNTED und co. sound too sterile and lack feeling or still wait that SLAYER will go back to their roots, should get this thunderclap right away.

Greg Kihn also became an author and has written a number of horror novels. His most recent project is the release of his latest book, "Carved in Rock", a collection of short stories written by musicians such as Ray Manzarek (The Doors), Pete Townsend (The Who) and Joan Jett.

"Jeopardy" later served as the basis for a parody (I Lost on Jeopardy) by "Weird Al" Yankovic.

TRACKLIST:



Artist : Praying Mantis
Country : UK
Release : A Cry For The New World [Japan Edition]
Year : 1993
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

It's a wonder this band never made it big. And then again, maybe not. Praying Mantis sounds like a progressive metal band going AOR in the '80s. Unfortunately for them, the album was released in 1993, when both progressive and '80s AOR were out of fashion. Remember Bryan Adams in those days ? Add a metal edge to that and you'll get an idea of what this album sounds like. It also occasionally recalls Gary Moore or Journey. Several songs (including the title track) could have been big hits-had they been released in the previous decade by a major label. And yet... Praying Mantis has many things going against them. While they are quite capable of writing catchy refrains, the rest of their songs are often bland and unremarkable. (On "Open Your Heart," the problem is reversed, with strong verses and a weak chorus). Add to this the metal and progressive aspects, which were never popular enough to make big hits, and the band's obscurity starts making more sense.

TRACKLIST:




Artist : Cain's Dinasty
Country : Spain
Release : Legacy Of Blood [Japan Edition]
Year : 2008
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

"Legacy Of Blood" is the first album but also the first signature of the new French label Melodica Records. Coming from Spain, Cain's Dinasty is a young Power Metal band who seems to be passionate by Vampires tales and stories. "Legacy Of Blood" is not particularly original but if you like technical Power Metal a la Angra, I think that you'll like this release which is not so bad for a first try. Sure the band will have to add some new elements in their music in the future to become abit more original but right now it's already promising so who know, maybe that Cain's Dinasty will become a famous band one day…




TRACKLIST:




Artist : Gamma Ray
Country : Germany
Release : Rebellion In Dreamland
Year : 1995
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

Rebellion In Dreamland was an EP released in 1995 by the German power metal band Gamma Ray prior to the release of their album Land of the Free. This is the first release with Kai Hansen on vocals since the departure of Ralf Scheepers.



TRACKLIST:




Artist : Zanister
Country : USA
Release : Fear No Man
Year : 2001
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320


Info:

ZANISTER's new release "FEAR NO MAN" should move the band to the top of the ever growing list of progressive power metal bands. Showcasing musicianship, compositional integrity and riffs from hell, this Cd seems a logical progression from the band's very well received 1999 release "Symphonica Millennia." That Cd was called by one reviewer as "Simply the best heavy metal album ever released."
Joining guitarists Michael Harris and David T. Chastain once again in the band is vocalist Brian Sarvela, formerly of The Reign of Terror. Brian's performance on this Cd totally outclasses all of his previous recorded works.




TRACKLIST:




Artist : Zanister
Country : USA
Release : Symphonica Millennia
Year : 1999
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

ZANISTER and their debut release "Symphonica Millennia" is the musical vision of 2 of the most celebrated heavy metal and hard rock guitarists in the last 10 years, Michael Harris and David T. Chastain. Both are noted for their band and solo works. However in ZANISTER the focus is on the group effort and not the flashy guitar playing that both of the guitarists have showcased in the past. Don't get us wrong, there is still plenty of spellbinding guitar playing but it is only part of the total picture. The other members of the band are equal partners and contributors to the devastating sounds of ZANISTER.




TRACKLIST:




Artist : Scatterbrain
Country : USA
Release : Here Comes Trouble
Year : 1990
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

Scatterbrain arose from the ashes of singer Tommy Christ and guitarist Glen Cummings’ previous outfit Ludichrist with a more thrash feel and a bigger focus on humor. Yes, Here Comes Trouble is something of a novelty album, but the comedy is delivered over some pretty solid chops throughout.
If anyone remembers a song from this record, it’s likely the single and video “Don’t Call Me Dude,” a goofy but hilarious tune about a guy who snaps when his girlfriend leaves him for a burly lifeguard on the beach. The song goes through several movements, and the video follows, with the band mimicking various eras of rock ‘n’ roll from doo-wop to 1980s glam. It’s all a lot of fun, but like most of the rest of the album, the underpinnings of the song are very solid thrash licks.

Artist : Tyketto
Country : USA
Release : Take Out & Served Up Live
Year : 1996
Genre : Hard Rock
File Type : mp3 320


Info:

Take Out and Served Up is kind of a mixed bag of tricks. It contains 4 demo songs from the Danny Vaughn era, one of which (Dragging the River) never made it onto a Tyketto album. It also has the B-side Wait Forever, which also features Vaughn on vocals. Finishing out the Vaughn material are 2 live tracks. The remaining 8 songs are live tracks featuring future Journey vocalist Steve Augieri.

Year : 1988
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 192


Info:

The German speed metal style of early Helloween, combined with the melodic power metal style pioneered by the likes of Stormwitch and Xxaron a few years earlier. Still, it's surprising that such a complex release came out as early as 1988.

Artist : Excess
Country : France
Release : Melting Point
Year : 1986
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320


Info:

Excess is one of those ‘80s bands that never acquired much of a following despite issuing two albums of above average heavy metal. The band’s label had limited distribution and barely any profile out of France. The band’s French origins did not help of course in and of themselves given the fate of other acts like H-Bomb and Warning that were victimized by the general indifference to the country’s metal exports outside France.
It is really too bad; Excess is a metal treat. This is one band that is ready for some kind of a re-release. With the increasingly scarce supply of heavy metal, Excess needs a higher profile given the remarkable music.



TRACKLIST:



Artist : Tyr
Country : Faroe Islands
Release : How Far To Asgaard [Reissue]
Year : 2002
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320


Info:

Tyr is the Germanic God of courage, strength, justice, victory, defense, and battle. He sacrifices his hand to Fenris in order to bind him. Tyr will perish at Ragnarok when he fights the wolf-hound, Garm, who in turn perishes at Tyr's hand.




TRACKLIST:




Artist : Sweet Justice
Country : USA
Release : Sweet Justice
Year : 2005
Genre : Hard Rock
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

Frank Meyer is a man who loves his rock & roll, as anyone who has ever lent an ear to his work with the Streetwalkin' Cheetahs already knows, but his definition of the term goes beyond mere faster-and-louder blamalama, and the self-titled debut album from his new band Sweet Justice moves past the old-school punk sounds of the Cheetahs into plenty of tasty new directions. Teaming up with ex-ADZ bassist Bruce Duff and drummer Chris Markwood (who kept time for the Bellrays), Meyer and Sweet Justice deliver the high-powered goods on tunes like the bitter "Sold Me Out" and the blazing "Blood and Alcohol," but the trio offers plenty more for your entertainment dollar -- straight-from-the-gut blues ("True to You," "Travellin' Blues"), '70s style party shakers ("Outta Site," "Last Night"), Thin Lizzy-on-speed power ballads ("Johnny Rico and the Kid"), deep-space dub ("Hey Christina"), and high-gloss pop production pieces ("If You Look Like a Star," with guest vocals from Save Ferris belter Monique Powell).
Band is still alive & kicking and touring as ''The Streetwalkin' Cheetahs'' you can get more info here: http://www.facebook.com/TheStreetwalkinCheetahs




TRACKLIST:




Artist : Sweet F.A.
Country : USA
Release : Stick To Your Guns
Year : 1990
Genre : Hard Rock
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

One of the many bands lost in the shuffle of the grunge movement of the early 90's was Indianapolis natives Sweet F.A.
There are some excellent tunes on this disc that still hold up pretty well today. Prince of the City is a great high energy track to start this disc off with. Nothin’ For Nothin’ is another sleazy rocker that reminds me of the Bullet Boys quite a bit. The beat and groove of Rhythm of Action is killer. Whiskey River is a powerful rocker in the vein of Skid Row. The acoustic power ballad Heart of Gold is easily as good as anything you heard from the more successful bands of the era (Warrant, Poison, Cinderella). This disc ends with the acoustic track Southern Comfort. This is a very cool song to end this disc with.




TRACKLIST:




Artist : Sweet F.A.
Country : USA
Release : Temptation
Year : 1991
Genre : Hard Rock
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

Not as good as their first cd. There still a good band. Big fan of metal love hair metal keep rockin people




TRACKLIST:




Artist : Pantera
Country : USA
Release : aLIVE And Hostile [EP]
Year : 1994
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

This is a nice little Live ep of tracks all taken from their "official" debut,Cowboys From Hell!
The sound is excellent on all of the tracks. It sounds like the first 2 are from the Monsters Of Rock in Russia, then the next 2 sound like they are from that Foundations Forum show or whatever it's called off the CFH home video. I know for sure that Heresy is because at the end it's got that exact same "Pantera fu%$ing rips,aarrgghhh" at the end.
