Rosenrot is the fifth release from the popular Industrial German sextet. The album was originally slated as 'Reise-reise Vol. 2' as it contained songs that didn't make it onto the 2004 release as well as a few new songs. However, while Reise-reise experimented with different sounds, this album brings back a more traditional sound similar to that found on 2001's Mutter. Over their career, Rammstein has progressed from a riff-laden industrial sound to almost theatrical compositions of heavy guitars, oddly placed samples and Till's hollow but agressive deep vocals. This album is no exception, having progressed even further down that path. The end result is an album that I would rate second to Mutter and place high above its mediocre predecessor.

Metallica is the self-titled fifth studio album by American heavy metal band Metallica. Released on August 12, 1991, by Elektra Records, it is commonly referred to as The Black Album because of its packaging design. Its recording took place at One on One Studios in Los Angeles over an eight-month span that frequently found Metallica at odds with their new producer Bob Rock. The album marked a change in the band's music from the thrash metal style of their previous four albums to a slower, heavier, and more refined sound.

Cruelty and the Beast is the third studio album by English extreme metal band Cradle of Filth. It was released on 5 May 1998, through Music for Nations. It is a concept album based on the legend of the Hungarian "blood countess" Elizabeth Báthory. The album features guest narration on certain passages by Ingrid Pitt in-character as Báthory, a role she first played in the Hammer film Countess Dracula in 1971.

Magnum Opus is the eighth studio album by guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen, released on 17 October 1995 (see release history). The album reached No. 11 on the Finnish albums chart and No. 17 on the Swedish albums chart.

Symphony For The Devil is Witchery's third full-length studio album after Restless & Dead in 1998 and Dead, Hot And Ready in 1999. "Symphony..." was released in 2001 (see 2001 in music) and has received underground acclaim from metal fanzines and webzines. The album continues in the style of previous Witchery releases, with thrash metal riffing and solos, but with a black and death metal influence.

Triumph and Agony is the fourth and final studio album by the German heavy metal band Warlock, released on 29 September 1987.
The album was recorded in the US with producer Joey Balin and a different band line-up in comparison with the previous album True as Steel, which had made the name of Warlock known outside of Europe. Peter Szigeti and Frank Rittel were replaced in 1987 by the American musicians Tommy Bolan and Tommy Henriksen respectively. The album also features British drummer Cozy Powell on some tracks.

Материал сочинен и записан основателем группы и известным продюсером в сфере death metal, Colin Davis, и это лучшая работа Vile на данный момент. Для любителей кровавого мясного брутала этот диск станет хорошим подарком. Ничего революционного, но узнаваемый почерк Vile привлекает внимание. Все сделано качественно и со вкусом. Отличнейшая работа барабанщика Tyson Jupin с его неистовыми тарелками и двойными бас-бочками; вокал Juan Urteaga, основанный на стандартной death metal манере, но более вариативный. Стоит также отметить мелодичный завершающий диск трек - соло на ситаре.
