Lamb Of God

Resolution

Resolution is the follow up to their Grammy nominated album Wrath. Produced by Josh Wilbur, the album features 14 songs and comes in a deluxe softpak with artwork by longtime art director Ken Adams. Resolution is a 100 percent trend-free and intelligently constructed album that could power a small country with its unstoppable energy and potent riffery. Guitarist Mark Morton says that “unlike any other album before, this album was written over the course of a couple of years, at least with the guitars. Willie and I starting songwriting as soon as we started touring Wrath.” As a result, Resolution boasts some of the most Punk Rock moments and some of the bluesiest moments of the band’s recorded career, perhaps fostered along by the liveliness of the writing-on-the-road process. The album was recorded in various studios in Virginia and New York.  Limited 2CD version with live cd available now!!!

Lacuna coil

Dark Adrenaline

Deluxe CD/DVD edition includes bonus DVD, guitar pick, die-cut logo sticker and fold-out art poster. 2012 album from Italy’s greatest musical export. The album was recorded with acclaimed producer Don Gilmore (Avril Lavigne, Linkin Park, Pearl Jam) at the famed NRG Studios in Los Angeles. Dark Adrenaline is another huge step forward in the band’s continuous evolution and marks their first full-length since 2008’s Shallow Life and promises to be well worth the wait.

Primal Fear

Unbreakable

If you are discussing today’s top European Metal acts, then the conversation is undoubtedly going to include Germany’s Primal Fear. The band formed by former Gamma Ray vocalist Ralf Scheepers and bassist/vocalist Mat Sinner in late 1997 is certainly one of the premier metal bands performing today.  “Unbreakable” combines the talent of the strongest Primal Fear line-up ever with a well-balanced “back to our roots” vibe. Singer Ralf Scheepers says: “The plan was to record an album for the fans with rough metal riffs, screaming vocals and good melodies…...and finally it became a monster - a tough ‘bang-your-head’ metal album called “Unbreakable”.

Deep Purple

BBC Sessions 1968-1970

UK 2 CD release.

The transition of Deep Purple from a cult UK band that had chart success stateside, to the rock giants we all know is captured in these fascinating session recordings.

Although the rarity of some of the sessions means the sound quality is often less than perfect, it is the stunning performances, many live-in studio, which shine through.

This was a band who could play and who could electrify the audience and the listener.

Many Purple aficionados would dare to suggest that the session version of the classic ‘Child In Time’ surpasses that of the studio version. That is, of course, is subjective but why this set is so important to the Purple story, to the band’s fans and any general rock fan.
