BULLETPROOF – No Compromise [Eonian Records] (2024) , MP3+FLAC


Some months ago we featured ‘Bite Down Hard’, the debut album from German-based BULLETPROOF, released by Eonian Records. These were songs taped some time before but now BULLETPROOF are releasing “No Compromise“, their fresh new album presented in exclusive at plotn08.

BULLETPROOF has new drummer, and most important, a new lead singer. This time around, guitarist Nemanja has turned over the lead vocal duties to singer Carlos Molina. And that benefited the band as Molina has a classic rock voice w

KENNY McGEE (ex Julliet) – The Picture (2024) , MP3+FLAC eonian records


Iconic frontman of ’80s melodic hard rockers Julliet and Heartless, KENNY McGEE is releasing a new album titled “The Picture”’, that highlights just what a talented musician and songwriter he is. As we’ve watched several of the biggest and most famous singers and bands who dominated the hard rock scene of the ‘80s and early ‘90s degrade in public before our very eyes, KENNY MCGEE seems to only get stronger.
Across several albums, Kenny has proved, time and time again, that you can make meaning, melody,

MEAT LOAF – Bad Attitude [1985 U.S. Mix] , MP3+FLAC


Yesterday we featured at plotn08 the remastered reissue of MEAT LOAF 1984’s album “Bad Attitude”. The album concentrates more on the hard rock side of Meat Loaf according to the era, enlisting Bob Kulick on electric guitar to provide more bite, especially on the solos.

The North American release of “Bad Attitude” had to wait until the next year, because as happened with many foreign artists / bands, Record Labels wanted ‘different sonics’ for the U.S. market. Accordingly, “Bad Attitude” was remixed.

Released in April 1985 by RCA Records “Bad Attitude [1985 U.S. Mix]” features different track list order as well as alternate mixes for some songs, most of them also with longer running time. T

220 VOLT – Mind Over Muscle [Music On CD remastered ] (2022), MP3+FLAC


Yesterday we featured Swedish metal / hard rock pioneers 220 VOLT second album, now we are featuring in exclusive at plotn08 the band’s third album 1985’s “Mind Over Muscle“, reissued & remastered by Music On CD Records, officially released on CD for the first time.

Music On CD are specialized in reissues of long time out of print rock albums, but they don’t remaster anything. In this case, the ‘remastering’ is in fact a ‘mastering’, because this album never was released on CD before.

It may be called a complete mystery why “Mind Over Muscle”, the successor to Powergames, received so little attention in 1985. This can certainly be called one of the top albu

Tainted Saints – Tainted Saints 2023 / 2024 Eonian Records


TAINTED SAINTS is a killer-sounding band that shoots straight from the hip! Their first official release through Eonian Records was produced by Jim Ebert (Jason Falkner, Marvelous 3, and Butch Walker) Beautifully arranged, the album is brimming with classic rockers like “Temptation,” “Voodoo Girl,” or Wicked Little Smile,” as well as the slower, more introspective “Unspoken.” In a nutshell, you’ll find the manic energy of Mother Love Bone, the glam rock flavor of Hanoi Rocks, and an anthemic echo of Rolling Stones. It is e
