Bullet Boys – The Warner Albums1988-1993, 2021, 3 CD Box-Set


BulletBoys formed in Los Angeles in 1988, just in time to take full advantage of the hair metal and glam rock scene that was the rage of the clubs and bars of the Sunset Strip. ?
Signing to Warner Bros Records, with Marq Torien on lead vocals, Mick Sweda on guitar, Lonnie Vencent on bass and Jimmy D’Anda on drums, they had a good pedigree, having formed from the ashes of Carmine Appice’s King Kobra. ? This complete collection of their Warner recordings includes new liner notes from Classic Rock’s Malcolm Dome, based on interviews with the band’s guitarist Mick Sweda and drummer Jimmy D’Anda. The band would record a further six albums with various line-ups, releasing their most recent album in 2018.

SLAUTER XSTROYES – Winter Kill 2021


There are no words needed for one of the top ten U.S. metal albums of the 80’s. Featuring metal rippers like the title-track , “City of Sirtel”, “Black Rose and Thorns”, what we deal with here is a monster from the golden scene of Chicago in the 80’s, featuring remastered sound, lyrics, liner notes and three bonus songs, of which “Saint’s Revenge” you get to hear for the first time in its complete form in an official release of the band.
