Though considered a speed metal band, and don’t get me wrong, theres some moments, a considerable amount of this band’s energy seems to be focused towards hard-hittin’ melodic hard rock tracks, with punchy, rather than ‘gallopy’ riffs, and melodic vocals.

Elvellon is a very promising newcomer-band from the German Symphonic Metal scene. Through a combination of orchestral sound, hard riffs and the extraordinary voice of frontwoman Nele the five musicians hit right at the heart of the listener. If one lets himself be carried off into their world of magic, he will find a journey between childish wonder and hard hearted bitterness.

Being one of Retrospect’s most eccentric bands, New York-based band KABLAMACHUNK! played a very unique and quirky brand of melodic rock with elements of powerpop, progressive rock and new wave. This double disc anthology contains recordings from their super obscure albums “Well…There It Is”, “Into The Arena Of The Unwell” and “Kilts On Stilts” PLUS 3 additional previously unreleased bonus tracks. Blue Oyster Cult’s Albert Bouchard became so enamored with this band that he produced several of their songs and Kablamachunk! were clearly a heavy influence on what would become Albe
Super rare 3 track e.p. from Las Vegas-based AMEETING, a great metal band thats somewhere between traditional metal and 80’s thrash metal. Originally released in 1999 (although it sounds more like 1989!!), and digitally remastered and re-issued on our RetroThrash label.
