"The Magician's Birthday" is the 5th studio album by Uriah Heep, released by Bronze Records in the UK and Mercury Records in the US. Music on the album combines Prog. elements, hooked to some clean, powerful arrangements and a good melodies. The concept was based loosely on a short story written by keyboardist Ken Hensley.   Feb 16, 2023

Salisbury is Uriah Heep's second studio album released by Vertigo Records. Contains the group's huge hit "Lady in Black". Front cover of the album was made in two versions: first depicted a British Chieftain tank and second - American release featured a man tearing out of his own skin. Songwriting credits for fully half of the record were attributed to Ken Hensley alone, as opposed to the debut's collaborative partnership of frontman David Byron and guitarist Mick Box.   Feb 16, 2023

"Outsider" is the 23rd studio album by Uriah Heep (I don't count the album "Celebration - Forty Years of Rock", which contains mainly modified versions of old hits), released by Frontiers Records. It was produced by Mike Paxman and it is the first album with bassist Dave Rimmer. Guitarist Mick Box is the last remaining member of the original line-up and the songs here are though harder-edged than in the band’s heyday, but have that familiar dynamic guitar/organ interplay.   Feb 16, 2023

"Fallen Angel" is Uriah Heep's 12th studio album released by Bronze Records in the UK and Chrysalis Records in USA. On this album, the band moved toward an AOR sound, as opposed to the Progressive Rock of previous albums. It is the last album to feature John Lawton on vocals, before his firing in 1979.   Feb 16, 2023

After releasing 2 demo recordings in the early 1980s, "A Time of Changes" was Blitzkrieg's first full-length studio album and what a solid NWOBHM it was. If this album was put together back in 1981 as it was to be, this could have been one of the most memorable NWOBHM album of all time. Unfortunately, the band broke up shortly before releasing their debut and Ross had to wait 3 years to put everything back together. Also for this reason they never captured higher popularity.   Feb 12, 2023

When we start speaking of early NWOBHM, Raven is a group we should mention. Yes, they didn't achieve fame like Iron Maiden and were more Hard Rock oriented besides Heavy Metal, but their early 80's albums were good. If the NWOBHM is your favorite musical style, you should immediately get this album.   Feb 12, 2023

"Death and Progress" is Diamond Head's comeback album after a long ten-year hiatus. The music combines Hard Rock with Heavy Metal, and the album needs to be listened to at least five times in order to appreciate the quality of the songs and ideas.   Feb 12, 2023

Diamond Head released "Borrowed Time" album with a more refined sound, better production and songs more in the 80's metal, than the dynamic NWOBHM of the first album. We have here five new songs and two re-recorded, that were originally on "Lightning to the Nations" album. The songs are very mellodic, still catchy and energetic.   Feb 12, 2023

"Lightning to the Nations" is easily one of the best albums of the NWOBHM. All seven songs here are equally awesome and every song has an identity. These really are some awesome catchy kick ass songs with great melodies and riffs, whereas there is never a dull moment. The music on this album sometimes reminiscent Hard Rock bands with some blues parts, but it also managed to keep up with the changing sound of Heavy Metal genre.   Feb 12, 2023

"Something Wicked This Way Comes" is Ten's sixteenth album. Album contains pleasant and easy to listen Melodic Hard Rock   Feb 12, 2023

Candlemass are back with their 13th regular studio album "Sweet Evil Sun" which offeres traditional Epic Doom Metal. The guitars are heavy, dark and the rhythms solid as ever. Songs are catchier and simpler structured and the musicianship is competent with some hammering riffs and much aggression in it.   Feb 11, 2023

Misanthrope's music has been out of my reach for many years and only today I listened to their new album "Les declinistes". Musically, it's pretty decent Progressive Death Metal, but I don't understand the lyrics at all because they're in the band's native language, which is French.   Feb 11, 2023

"Permanent Vacation" becoming a major hit and the band's bestselling album in over a decade (selling 5 million copies in the US) and was their first album to employ songwriters outside the band, instead of featuring songs solely composed by them. It is the ninth studio album and was released by Geffen Records.   Feb 10, 2023

This album is way too low rated and quite underrated. "Just Push Play" is the thirteenth studio and was co-produced by song collaborators Marti Frederiksen and Mark Hudson. The album's first single, "Jaded", became a Top 10 hit in the US and around the world.   Feb 10, 2023

Booklet for "Nine Lives" album contains 12 pictures (including the cover). Each picture contains a smaller version of the previous one within itself. The final picture is included in the first, creating an infinite loop. Is the twelfth studio album and was produced by Aerosmith and Kevin Shirley.   Feb 10, 2023

"Pump" is Aerosmith's tenth studio album & was released by Geffen Records. Album received mostly positive reception, contains many hit singles and was the fourth best-selling album of the year 1990.   Feb 10, 2023

"Get a Grip" is Aerosmith's eleventh studio album and was the band's last studio album released by Geffen before they returned to Columbia Records. Album became Aerosmith's best-selling studio album worldwide, achieving sales of over 20 million copies.   Feb 10, 2023

Rejuvenated Finns have created with "Eternal" something truly special with powerful, dramatic, theatrical and epic elements. Some bands age like a fine wine - maturing and refining their sound with every subsequent release.   Feb 8, 2023

After the split with the main songwriter and great guitarist Timo Tolkki, the band was going through quite hard times including many line-up changes and had to face several problems. Band moved away from its softer and more progressive sounds and created an energizing and truly metal orientated record with gripping riffs, glorious choruses and loads of fresh ideas.   Feb 8, 2023

Stratovarius has taken their sound in a different direction in this album, favoring the more epic style sound over the faster tracks. Most of the album is slower or mid-tempo and more epic, including the powerful title track with a quasi operatic chorus line. It is albums like "Infinite" that remind us that not all Power Metal has to sound the same.   Feb 8, 2023

"Destiny" album really have everything, infectious energy, delicate ballads, great ideas and the skills to pull them off. They combines the traditional Speed/Power Metal elements, the Neo-classical shredding and the Epic Progressive tendencies of the band into a coherent and enjoyable whole.   Feb 8, 2023

On "Hammerheart" album, Quorthon is now more interested in creating and communicating a certain epic and atmospheric feeling, and doesn't attempt to reach supersonic speeds with his guitar. Album shows the Epic side of Viking/Heavy Metal with acoustic parts, female voices, sporadically used keyboards, clean vocals with raspy touch, intelligence and emotional integrity.   Feb 5, 2023

The quality of "Live in Jessheim" is garbage , commonplace in this album is crackling, distortion, and cutting out. Maybe you enjoy hearing poor quality live same songs for the sixth time? Then this album is just for you. This album is fodder for the obsessive Mayhem militant. Clink, clink, money is pouring in...   Feb 5, 2023

If you would want to compare this release with other live ones, this has almost nothing new to offer. The sound is horrendous, there's too much of a mess for much of an atmosphere, and it really just sucks. The endless release of bootlegs with terrible quality is only important in filling the publishers' wallets and not in presenting quality and valuable music. Do you need a fifth album of Dead "singing" the same songs?   Feb 5, 2023

Another awful recording. Most die hard Mayhem fans know this was one of only 5 shows Mayhem managed to play live during this tour (Jessheim, Sarpsborg, Zeitz, Leipzig and Izmir). Maybe next year, when someone finds a moldy recording from another concert in the attic, the band will release another of the endless series of low-quality, but for some, kvlt live recordings.   Feb 5, 2023

Take a lot of scandals, unusual stories and mysterious/dark happenings, mix it all up, throw it in newspapers and magazines, repeat it many times and you turn a mediocre record into a legendary one. "Live In Leipzig" is primarily worshiped due to being the only full-length recording featuring Dead. It is a mediocre album, that has been elevated to "classic" status in some circles, but not due to quality ideas or creativity.   Feb 5, 2023

Very overrated 18 minute failure. A number of better and more important albums were released at that time and even before it. The production is completely awful. "Deathcrush" is praised only for it's extreme nature at an early time, rather then the actual quality of the music.   Feb 5, 2023

"V: The New Mythology Suite" continues the consistent trend for this band, as they have successfully crafted a tremendous Prog. Metal album that is equal in both songwriting and musicianship. Russell Allen is an awesome vocalist, with incredible range, emotion, and a smooth, flawless, melodious vocal tone. Every song on this album is strong, even the occasional instrumental interludes on this album.   Feb 4, 2023

On "The Damnation Game" album, Russel Allen picked up the microphone and proved, that he is a Progressive/Neoclassical Metal force to be reckoned with. His soaring voice helps this album same as Romeo's insane riffs, and Pinnella's keys. You can find here many speed changes, creative solos, impressive drumming, great bass and songs also have that catchy element. It's an excellent album.   Feb 4, 2023

언제 들어도 좋은 심포닉 파워 메탈계의 명반   Mar 13, 2025

게임 매드무비에 넣을 곡이 더 생겼다 밴드 연주 작살난다 보컬리스트가 러셀 엘런같이 노래 개 잘한다 빠른 멜로디인데도 노래를 단단하고 웅장하게 잘 부른다. 있어야 할게 다 있는 파워 메탈의 정석   Mar 15, 2025

아무래도 이 1집에서는 많은 이들이 Sweet Child o' Mine을 꼽겠지만, 내게 있어서 이 앨범 최고의 곡은 절대적으로 Nightrain이다. 밴드의 정체성, 색깔, 연주력 등을 한 번에 대변해주는 곡이랄까. 심지어 가사까지 말이다. 같이 늙어간다는 말이 어울리겠지만, 그때의 열정 속에서 Nightrain을 외치고 연주를 하던 그들의 모습은 정말로 젊음의 영웅이자 양아치였다.   Mar 19, 2025

다시 살아난 폼은 떨어질 줄 모르고, 진짜 좋은데.. 정말 좋은데.. 짙게 드리운 어둠이라기에는 너무 명징하다. 컨셉에 맞는 분위기와 강약 조절을 좀만 더 했다면 명반 반열로 올라가는건데, 듣기 좋아서 더욱 그 한끝이 아쉽다.   5 days ago

평점을 안달았다니 이런. 데스메탈갓의 데스메탈, 앞으로도 추앙받을 진정한 마스터피스.   Mar 8, 2025

점차 공격성이 사라지고 서정성만을 추구하는 멜데스가 많아질수록 이 앨범은 빛을 발한다   Mar 9, 2025

잉베이의 열정적인 기타와 마크 볼즈의 절정의 보컬을 마음껏 만끽할 수 있어 이 앨범을 듣는것이 무척 즐겁다. 잉베이는 스스로의 실력도 대단하지만, 보컬 복이 참 많은 뮤지션인 것 같다.   Mar 10, 2025

I'm pretty sure this is the best debut in history. Sonata Arctica immediately does what they do best and the result is amazing. "FullMoon" is a great song.   Mar 11, 2025

Great album but not at the level of the debut in my opinion. The band tries a bit of progressive direction with pretty good results, although some songs are quite weak. The end of the album is great. Good job Sonata!   Mar 11, 2025

DT caught my attention with their previous album and this one confirms my thoughts on them. I´m not so fond of their old stuffs but these 2 keep me on my feet and I will go back to them regularly.   Mar 12, 2025

Awesome album one of my favourite thrash albums.   6 days ago

The "Ram It Down" is a very underrated album, but in 1988 in the german Metal Hammer looked like a new classic by the soundcheck.Otherwise the "Ram it Down" and the "Hard As Iron"(with thundering riff) are great fast classic Priest songs. All in all i think only the "Love Zone" is the only one problematic song and the Lp is great..   Mar 8, 2025

귀에 팍팍 꼿히는 순도 99,9%의 헤비메탈 깔끔한 믹싱 때문에 더 좋게 들린다.역시 앤디스냅!   Mar 8, 2025

현재 보유중인 유일한 브투털 데스 음반이다. 정확히는 그루브 브루털 데스 광폭하면서도 리듬감이 살아있어서 그나마 귀에 들어온다.   Mar 8, 2025

LA메탈의 시작을 알리는 역사적 데뷔작. 빈스닐의 거친 코맹맹이 보컬은 아직 뚫리기 전이고 믹과 토미의 연주도 거칠다. 그런데 합주가 시작되면 니키의 베이스와 어우러져 아주 그럴싸한 곡들이 나온다. 아니, 앨범 전체 곡들의 멜로디가 좋아서 버릴 곡들이 없다. 몇개 히트곡에 의존했던 3,4집과는 수준차이가 크며 2집에도 크게 뒤지지 않는다.   Mar 8, 2025

새로운 B급 문화를 만드는데 큰 영향을 준 역사적인 작품이다. 음악 자체는 강렬한 펑크와 블루스, 영국식 헤비메틀이 혼합된 난폭한 스타일이다. 녹음 상태는 열악하지만 감상을 방해하는 정도는 아니다. 서구의 평론가들이 지하감옥에서 연주하는 음악이라고 표현했는데 어쩐지 잘 어울린다.   Mar 9, 2025

Fantastic classic album with the legendary Ronnie James Dio..   Mar 9, 2025

기계적이고 수학적인 연주에 감성이 첨가된   Mar 10, 2025
