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. The original classic album of the band is one of the most hard to find U.S. metal albums and even the reissues fetch sky high prices, so it was about time to get the ultimate edition of this immortal classic. Dedicated to the memory of Jonathon Stewart (singer) and David Bonow (drummer), with the blessings of Brent Sulliva

Rageflower – Awaiting 2021


Rageflower – Awaiting (*NEW-CD, 2021, Soundmass) Ultra Rare Aussie Prog THRASH Metal!RAGEFLOWER… interesting name for a thrash band, but that’s how it began for this band from Perth, Western Australia.

Thrash that was aggressive, yet full of melody, regular tempo changes and mellow interludes. This sound was captured on their debut (cassette-only) 6-song EP “Awaiting” in 1995. The vocal variation on this recording – clean, yelled, growled – matched the diversity of the music perfectly and they were economical with the lyrics, making every word count. We would call this “clever” thrash – something a little outside the box… a sign of things to come.

Amorphis – Live At Helsinki Ice Hall 2021, 2 CD


While concerts and cheering crowds seem to be a long-lost echo of the past these days, melancholic progressive metallers AMORPHIS bring back some of the life and incomparable energy that many of us have missed so much. When the recording took place on December 7, 2019 at their special hometown show, little did the Finns know that this would be one of their last concerts before the outbreak of the pandemic in early 2020. With a total of 15 tracks and a running time of over an hour and a half, AMORPHIS takes us on a journey through their past, showcasing their best songs of the last 30 years, during which the band developed into one of Finland’s best metal exports.

Magnet Animals – Fake Dudes 2021


If ever a moment in history called for the caustic, corrosive rantings of guitarist-composer-poet Todd Clouser and the abstract grooves of his combustible beat-skronk band Magnet Animals, it’s this one.With our collective headspaces dizzied by a nearly yearlong pandemic induced isolation and battered by an unceasing barrage of political insanities, the serrated wit and surrealist insights of Fake Dudes arrives with the kinetic force of a madcap sermon.Fake Dudes reconvenes the geographically scattered members of Magnet Animals – Minneapolis-born, Mexico City-based Clouser, Mexican drummer Jorge Servin, and Abraxas bandmates Eyal Maoz (guitar) and Shanir Ezra Blumenkranz (bass) – four years after their bracing debut, 2016’s Butterfly Killer. The startling dr
