Gillan is the first album by British rock band Gillan, released in September 1978. It was only released in Japan, Australia and New Zealand, but the album sold well in the UK as an import, aided by positive press reviews. The sleeve notes of the original release credit Liam Genocky as playing drums and percussion, while the 1993 release "Gillan – The Japanese Album" instead credits Pete Barnacle.

‘URSA’ is the seventh and latest album from Italy’s atmospheric death/doom metal purveyors, Novembre, and is set for release on 1st April on Peaceville Records on CD and vinyl.
After a period of inactivity since 2007’s ‘The Blue’, which involved the departure of longstanding member Giuseppe Orlando, Novembre returns with a new set of potent and poignant tracks, effortlessly transitioning between soothing, epic, melancholy and intense, from what is one of the originators of the whole atmospheric death/doom scene. Headed by founding member and writer Carmelo Orlando, & with a reinvigorated musical alliance with Massimiliano Pagliuso, the line-up is completed by Fabio Fraschini (previously bassist on the ‘Materia’ album), and David Folchitto on drums. There is also a special guest appearance from Anders Nyström of the Swedish Doom masters KATATONIA, adding his own unique ‘cold’ touch to the album’s single track ‘Annoluce’.

40 Seasons: The Best of Skid Row is a compilation album released by Skid Row in 1998, which includes the chart topping singles: "18 and Life", "I Remember You" and "Youth Gone Wild".
The compilation features songs from the first three Skid Row studio albums Skid Row, Slave to the Grind and Subhuman Race. The tracks "Into Another", "My Enemy" and "Breakin' Down" were remixed for this album with more tender, slightly cleaner mixes, presumably so they fit more suitingly with the other tracks. It also included two unreleased tracks, one from the 1988 Skid Row sessions, and one from the 1990-91 Slave To The Grind sessions.

Slave to the Grind - второй студийный альбом группы Skid Row, вышедший 11 июня 1991 года, первый альбомом в жанре хэви-метал, который дебютировал на первой строчке американского журнала Billboard 200.
Вышло две версии альбома: оригинальная и «чистая» (цензурированная). В чистой версии песня «Get the Fuck Out» заменена на более безобидную «Beggar’s Day».
Обложка представляет собой ремейк картины Караваджо «Погребение святой Лючии» (1608), выполненный художником Дэвидом Бъёрком - отцом вокалиста группы Себастьяна Баха.

For Bonfire's 30th Anniversary the German Metallers present the long desired double-album 'Pearls', released via UDR-Music. The album is due for release on March 18th, the first CD of its kind since the foundation of the band in 1986. All the classics are being recorded right now in Milano (Italy) and arranged in a completely new way, as a big thank-you to the true fans. With their new partner UDR records, Bonfire are in very good company with other big acts of Hard Rock and Metal, such as Mötorhead, Saxon, Girlschool and Annihilator. Hans Ziller & Co are ready for the next step...

Progressive-metallers Haken are gearing up for the release of third album and InsideOut Music debut "The Mountain". The time has come for them to reveal the second track to be taken from said album, and this comes in the shape of the ten-minute long journey that is 'Pareidolia'. The band had this to say about the track: "This song is at the heavier end of the Haken spectrum. It's a bit of a culture clash too; we had fun incorporating the Hindu scale, some tribal percussion and even a Greek bouzouki into our sound. We asked Marc Papeghin to create the visuals for us after he blew us away with his epic 22 minute Visions video."

26 февраля 2016 года вышел второй сольный альбом известного музыканта, композитора и аранжировщика Tony Patterson. В записи альбома приняли участие Brendan Eyre и Nick Magnus.

11 марта 2016 года вышел новый альбом группы Van Canto, который был создан при тесном сотрудничестве с писателем Christoph'ом Hardebusch'ом. Впервые группа работала с хором London Metro Voices, записывавшим саундтрек к фильму «Властелин Колец». По словам участников группы, они хотели создать альбом, полный живого человеческого участия, даже если для этого нужно было использовать либо одного ударника, либо один голос.

Американская группа Paths Of Possession была организована в 1994 году и изначально называлась Swollen. Спустя череду переименований группа снова вернулась к названию Swollen, а затем опять переименовалась, но уже в последний раз и закрепила за собой название Paths Of Possession. Участники команды засветились в других коллективах, как то: Cannibal Corpse, Monstrosity (вокалист, известный любителям дета и грайнда, George "Corpsegrinder" Fischer), Silhaven (басист), Dark Faith (ударник). Ранее в группе приминал участие Richard Brunelle (Morbid Angel). Несмотря на столь почтенный возраст команды, официальным дебютным альбомом стал как раз "Promises In Blood".

Almost two years after the release of their 2013 slab of metal, “Killhammer”, MYSTIC PROPHECY returns to action with their 9th studio album, “War Brigade”, via Massacre Records, once again raising the bar on their musical standard. Staying true to form, this talented collection of musicians knows the formula that works for them and continues to perfect their craft. Combining Power Metal with straight-up Heavy Metal, MYSTIC PROPHECY’s sound authentically resurrects the dark and mystical songwriting style of old school bands like JUDAS PRIEST and DIO, while mixing in the edgy but polished electricity prevalent in most European Power Metal headliners. Liapakis’ vocals really standout on “War Brigade”, delivering effortless power with just the right amount of melodic textures, the sound that has become the trademark of this band, while the guitar wizardry of Ragazas and Pohl take this record over the top.

Thornbridge plays old school power metal following long prevailing peers, from native Germany and elsewhere across Europe. Think Helloween, Gamma Ray, Blind Guardian, Running Wild among others. Their metal is classic heavy metal combined with speed metal, with nominal symphonic notes. Quick guitar and bass lines are powered by thundering and galloping drums. For the guitar side, Thornbridge leans heavily on twin guitar harmony, then has one guitarist rip of some fine and fiery solos. Riffs and solos are in abundance here. Vocals also lend to the harmony, often melodic and choral like effect, a common standard of traditional power metal. Yet vocalist Joerg "Mo" Naneder has a bit of raw raspy presentation in his voice.

Сэр Клифф Ричард - британский исполнитель популярной музыки, который одним из первых среди англичан начал исполнять рок-н-ролл. Его называют королём британских чартов по той причине, что он возглавлял таковые 25 раз, а национальный хит-парад синглов — четырнадцать раз (хотя бы по разу в каждое десятилетие его существования).

After the release of their latest, highly-acclaimed studio record called »Heroes«, Swedish heavy metal heroes SABATON hit the charts in various countries on high positions, f.e. Sweden (#1), Finland (#2), Germany (#3). Their enthusiastic fans reveled them in many sold-out venues all over the world during their following tour, which is still under way. Their concerts in Wacken and at their hometown festival in Falun were big highlights of the "Heroes" tour so far. Therefore the band decided to record these shows for an upcoming live DVD/CD package called "Heroes On Tour".
