La Tulipe Noire - Faded Leaves (2002)

Country : Greece
Release : Faded Leaves
Year : 2002
Genre : Hard Rock

TRACKLIST:

Artist : 38 Special
Country : USA
Release : Rockin' Into The Night
Year : 1979
Genre : Hard Rock
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

By its third album, .38 Special discovered how to fuse fun-lovin' Southern rock with a formula that would bring the band commercial attention. Even though the album failed to put a single into the Top 40, the songs gather more steam than the group's previous attempts and begin to show the talents of individual members, turning some of the attention away from the novelty of sporting two drummers. "Rockin' into the Night" is a clean-shaven, built-for-radio tune, boosted by Don Barnes and Jeff Carlisi's indiscrete guitar work, while "Stone Cold Believer" rocks a little harder with its gear-shifting guitar riff.

TRACKLIST:

Artist : Ranveig Johnsen
Country : Norway
Release : Watch That Girl!
Year : 1988
Genre : Hard Rock
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

This is good poppy-AOR from Norway with a tight, poppy and sweat production from Svein Dag Hauge with excellent vocals and great harmonies. You can also smell a sense of west-coast ala Lava – rhythm of love album (the production is very similar actually). Frank Adahl of Edin-Adahl participated in recording background vocals, and sang with Ranveig a beautiful duo ballad called “Two lives”. Huge keys,great production,nice chorus,a touch of pop and west-coast.

TRACKLIST:

Artist : Golden Resurrection
Country : Sweden
Release : Glory To My King
Year : 2010
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

If you are looking for fantastic melodies and hooks non-stop, polished vocal arrangements and speed, speed and more speed (the tempo here can border on the relentless) then you will find a home in Golden Resurrection. Throw in virtuoso guitar work and plenty of incessant double bass and it all adds up to neo-classical metal paradise.

If I were to invite comparison, Yngwie Malmsteen and early Narnia, once more, are the first names to come to mind, although you will also encounter some symphonic elements along the lines of Divinefire. Fans of other forms of metal, including melodic metal (Rob Rock), epic metal (Theocracy) and European power metal (Seventh Avenue), will not feel left out either. Impellitteri also deserves consideration. I swear that tracks such as “Glory To My King” and “The Final Day” have a harpsichord going on in the background, even though one is not mentioned in the liner notes.

Artist : Soul Doctor
Country : Germany
Release : Way Back To The Bone
Year : 2010
Genre : Hard Rock
File Type : mp3 VBR

Info:

Tommy Heart (vocals) and Chris Lyne (guitar) are back with a brand new studio album after putting out a live CD, aptly titled “That’s Live”, last year.
Upon hearing opening cut “First Man On The Moon” one would think that the gentlemen have simply picked up where their previous studio offering “Blood Runs Gold” (2007) left off because of the classic melodic rock (Led Zeppelin, Bad Company) tinged intro but that’s not exactly the case. No, as the title suggests, “Way Back To The Bone” offers us the band’s trade mark melodic rock complete with infectious choruses and driving guitar work. Every now and then they bring out the acoustic six string but less frequent then on “BRG” and overall this new platter is heavier.

TRACKLIST:

Artist : Glen Stace
Country : Canada
Release : Buddha Hotel
Year : 1991
Genre : Hard Rock
File Type : mp3 VBR

Info:

This is a true lost Canadian classic. Glen Stace was from the West and released the album, Buddha Hotel, in 1991. His label at the time was Bumstead Records and he self produced the album. I grew up in the Toronto area and remember hearing it on the radio from time to time but never knew who the artist was. I hummed this chorus for a great many years. It was my ear worm (a song that sticks in your head). A friend I met while living in Calgary many years later informed me that the artist was indeed, Glen Stace.

Metal fickin' on brothers...

Vanadium's second album, 1983's A Race with the Devil, didn't introduce any radical new developments into the Italian group's guitar-and-keyboard-driven heavy metal formula, but it nevertheless showed a qualitative improvement over its rookie predecessor in every possible department: songwriting, production, performance, you name it. In fact, it is arguably the strongest effort of Vanadium's entire career (1984's Game Over and 1986's Born to Fight are the only possible challengers), and also marked the reinstatement of band founder, guitarist Steve Tessarin, who'd been excluded from the first album's sessions by a mandatory call to military service, and therefore returned seemingly twice as motivated to leave his mark this second time around.

TRACKLIST:

Artist : Pink Cream 69
Country : Germany
Release : In10sity [Japan Edition]
Year : 2007
Genre : Hard Rock
File Type : mp3 VBR

Info:

For a hard rocking album, this record has some very commercial moments.
Children Of The Dawn is a stomping hard rocker to get the album off to a flyer. A pounding rhythm section the driving force behind the song.
No Way Out isn't as heavy, but the tempo is up another notch, the band turning in a classic PC69 riff/rocker with a catchy chorus.
The always enjoyable vocals of David Readman are as brilliant as ever; at times I can hear a little Jeff Scott Soto rasp in there as well as a little of the Talisman funk ? especially on the less intense swagger of Crossfire.
I'm Not Afraid is one of the definite gems of the album. The chorus is sublime, yet instant and I find myself singing it hours later for no reason at all.
Funnily enough ? I could be singing that tune or any number of the albums songs. A New Religion, The Hour Of Freedom and Stop This Madness all rock along with a good pace and every one of the choruses is equally as infectious as the each other.
Desert Land is the first sign of a change of pace and it only lasts a minute 30.
Out Of This World heads to a darker place with a less obvious chorus, but it fits the pace of the album well.
It also kicks off a darker and heavier passage of music featuring It's Just A State Of Mind and the imposing Wanna Hear You Rock.
The European bonus track is no album filler either. My Darkest Hour continues the moodier vibe of the second half of the album and rocks hard.
The album closes with a lighter moment ? the rock ballad Last Train To Nowhere.

TRACKLIST:

Artist : 38 Special
Country : USA
Release : Special Forces
Year : 1982
Genre : Hard Rock
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

This album has a lot of good music on it. the point is it has three truly great songs. the best one is "caught up in you" arguably the best song they have ever made. then there is the bone chilling and super cool "chain lightning" and finally "you keep runnin'", this song is a mellow foot tapper. so if you like .38 SPECIAL you WILL like this CD.

TRACKLIST:

Artist : Glen Stace
Country : Canada
Release : Road To Damascus
Year : 1992
Genre : Hard Rock
File Type : mp3 VBR

Info:

Buddha Hotel, the debut album from Glen Stace -- painted the Saskatoon rocker as Canada's answer to Steve Earle. His sophomore effort finds a more mature performer beginning to come into his own. Road To Damascus leans to the dark side. The country influence is still there, but it's the kind of western feel that evokes a stench of death in the air after a high noon shoot- out. Before you can peg him as the brooding, demonic type pictured on the cover, he closes with the rousing take-life-as-it-comes rocker "Whatever Goes 'Round."

Heathen - Recovered (2004)

TRACKLIST:

Artist : Heathen
Country : USA
Release : Recovered
Year : 2004
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

The track listing is roughly divided into 3 parts: There are four original tracks from the demo Opiate Of The Masses This is a very solid block of metal with multi-part harmonies, virtuoso solos and solid, imaginative rhythms. There's an excellent power ballad dedicated to the memory of a late band member and his wife. Some power ballads are rightfully criticized as being soppy and sentimental. There's no questioning the very real sentiments in this song, but it has balls, it is played with sincerity and may be one of the better ballads you've heard in years. Then – there are four covers of songs by Thin Lizzy, Queen, Sweet Savage and Tygers of Pan Tang. There are particularly well executed, but they're still covers.

1. Down By The River

Info:

Racing Cars are a Welsh pop band, formed in the Rhondda Valley, Wales in 1973.
They were signed to one of the biggest British record labels of the time, Chrysalis Records. Racing Cars's debut album yielded their only hit single with "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?". It reached number fourteen in the UK Singles Chart in 1977, and was inspired by the film, They Shoot Horses, Don't They?. Touring to promote their debut releases, Racing Cars backed Bad Company in 1976, including dates at Earls Court and the York Theatre Royal. Without any similar further chart appearances, Racing Cars ultimately acquired the dreaded one hit wonder label. However, the band was sufficiently established on the touring circuit to issue two further albums. These never reached the same commercial heights, and Racing Cars split up for the first time in the early 1980s.

Artist : Nikki Sudden
Country : UK
Release : Egyptian Roads
Year : 1977
Genre : Rock
File Type : mp3 VBR

Info:

"Love Nest," the first cut on Nikki Sudden's Egyptian Roads, starts with Sudden's electric guitar playing balls out, in the red zone, a Neil Young-like scree accompanied by the drum kit and a Hammond B-3. It's an edifying way to begin a record that for all intents and purposes has been forgotten by rock & roll -- like most of Sudden's catalog. The fans, of course, are justifiably rabid: Sudden has assembled one of the most consistent, enigmatic, and prodigious shelves in rock. Egyptian Roads was begun in 1986 and actually finished and released in 1997. In other words, it was forgotten before it was issued -- thank God it was briefly available again in a limited edition of 500 copies in 2004. There's a hell of a list of players here: Rowland Howard, Steve Shelley, Epic Soundtracks, Dave Kusworth, and loads more. The songs, like those on Red Brocade which followed it by a year (after the death of Sudden's brother Soundtracks), are among the most refined of Sudden's career. The country-ish "When Angels Die," with its lovely piano lines and backing chorus, turn a sad song into something utterly infectious. The spooky instrumental "Misty Roads" features Howard playing some of his most shadowy yet seductive slide guitar. The medley of the Stones-like "Evangeline" with the country-rocker "Silver Dollar" is just amazing.

Whitesnake - Here I Go Again: The Whitesnake Collection (2002)

TRACKLIST:

Artist : Whitesnake
Country : UK
Release : Here I Go Again: The Whitesnake Collection
Year : 2002
Genre : Hard Rock
File Type : mp3 VBR

Info:

2002's two-CD Whitesnake compilation Here I Go Again: The Whitesnake Collection assembles remastered versions of all three of the band's biggest albums for Geffen -- 1984's Slide It In, 1987's blockbuster Whitesnake, and 1989's Slip of the Tongue -- as well as non-album mixes and B-sides. When vocalist David Coverdale first formed the band, Whitesnake didn't meet with much success in America; Slide It In changed that. It had a sleazy charm with killer tracks like the title cut, "Slow an' Easy," "Spit It Out," and the melodic, explosive "Love Ain't No Stranger." Whitesnake was a smash, and deservedly so thanks to the songs Coverdale and guitarist John Sykes wrote; it was more calculated and slick than Slide It In, but there's no denying the quality of "Here I Go Again," "Is This Love," or the Led Zeppelin homage/rip-off (you decide) "Still of the Night." The flaccid radio mix of "Here I Go Again" is included. The single version of "Give Me All Your Love" isn't as drastically removed from the original. The outtakes "You're Gonna Break My Heart Again," "Looking for Love," and "Sweet Lady Luck" appeared on 1994's Greatest Whitesnake. "Need Your Love So Bad," a Little Willie John cover, was a B-side with just Coverdale and keyboardist Bill Cuomo. Slip of the Tongue was largely a disaster. Since Adrian Vandenberg had suffered from a bizarre injury, hired gun Steve Vai played all the guitar parts and his flashy, technically gifted style overpowered the formula. The re-recording of "Fool for Your Loving" is a catchy exception. "The Deeper the Love" and "Judgement Day" are OK, but they ultimately suffer from trying to re-create Whitesnake. "Sailing Ships" does have a sincere majesty. For convenience and completeness, Here I Go Again: The Whitesnake Collection is a worthwhile set.

Info:

Hatchet's debut 2008 album, Awaiting Evil, is where the band has vowed to wage war on false metal, sparing none who dare to oppose them. When Hatchet emerged, the Bay area scene was not very welcoming to their trash sound. Thrash had become a forgotten musical form in the bay area. Driven and determined, they adopted the D.I.Y. ethic reminiscent of the punk rock style common in the early 80's. Hatchet played anywhere and everywhere they could - bars, house parties, local venues like the Pound SF, Balazo Gallery, 924 Gilman Street, and various warehouses located in desolate, crime ridden areas of Oakland, California.

ZZ Top - Deguello (1979) [Remastered]

TRACKLIST:

Artist : ZZ Top
Country : USA
Release : Deguello [Remastered]
Year : 1979
Genre : Hard Rock
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

ZZ Top returned after an extended layoff in late 1979 with Deguello, their best album since 1973's Tres Hombres. During their time off, ZZ Top didn't change much -- hell, their sound never really changed during their entire career -- but it did harden, in a way. The grooves became harder, sleeker, and their off-kilter sensibility and humor began to dominate, as "Cheap Sunglasses" and "Fool for Your Stockings" illustrate. Ironically, this, their wildest album lyrically, doesn't have the unhinged rawness of their early blooze rockers, but the streamlined production makes it feel sleazier all the same, since its slickness lets the perversity slide forth. And, forget not, the trio is in fine shape here, knocking out a great set of rockers and sounding stylish all the time. Undoubtedly one of their strong suits.

Artist : Kreator
Country : Germany
Release : Past Life Trauma
Year : 2000
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

Of all the underground European thrash outfits who helped pioneer death metal during the '80s -- bands like Hellhammer, Sodom, Destruction, and Bathory -- Kreator arguably holds up the best over time (with the possible exception of Celtic Frost). Where many of their peers made an impression solely through manic intensity, Kreator became increasingly able to bolster their harsh fury with progressive compositions and tight, technically accomplished musicianship. The band's most influential period, 1985-1992, is captured on Past Life Trauma, a fan-selected, 18-track best-of that features two rarities and two previously unreleased tracks. Featuring most of Kreator's best material from the '80s and early '90s, it's the perfect introduction to the influential thrashers' output, and it's been digitally remastered to boot.

Info:

"Still Alive" is a rowdy and raunchy live EP recorded in Detroit in front of what sounds like a bar full of half drunken bikers. Could be the case as 'biker rock' is how I would best describe the music that Circus of Power cranks out. They fall somewhere between the punky attitude of early Guns n Roses and the blues based hard rock of bands like Zeppelin and Aerosmith. The disc starts off with a cover of Rick Derringer's "Still Alive" and then unleashes five heavy, grungy originals. "White Trash Queen" reminds me of Faster Pussycat's "Bathroom Wall", although the vocal melodies and hooks are really not similar. Some of the in between song edits are a bit annoying as it obvious some of the stage banter was cut out. Overall, however, a nice live EP, that would have been better had it been a bit longer. This disc has been out of print for years.
