Dio

Holy Diver, Sacred Heart & The Last In Line remasters

Digitally remastered and expanded deluxe two CD edition of these albums from the Metal maestro including bonus live recordings and b-sides plus an expanded booklet with notes by Malcolm Dome.

Michael Schenker Group

Chrysalis Years (1980-84)

UK five CD set from the guitar hero and former UFO and Scorpions member.

Features his eponymous 1980 debut featuring vocalist Gary Barden, 1981’s MSG featuring Cozy Powell on drums and UFO’s Paul Raymond on keyboards and guitar, and the legendary Japanese double live One Night At Budokan, recorded in Tokyo on MSG’s 1981 tour.

Released the same year, 1982’s Assault Attack was the sole recording to feature former Rainbow vocalist Graham Bonnet, before Barden’s return for 1983’s Built To Destroy. This set is rounded off by MSG’s second live album, Rock Will Never Die which effectively became the swan song for this era of the band.

Napalm Death

Ulilitarian

Fourteen albums in and Napalm Death still remain the leaders of the Grindcore/Death Metal world, once again showing the upstarts how it’s done. Utilitarian runs the gamut from straight-ahead violence and force to pure, undiluted Napalm Death-induced chaos that overall provides a well-rounded bloodletting that’s not for the weak and also confronts the listener with such surprising moments as the sax passages by none other than John Zorn on ‘Everyday Pox’ or choral-like clean sections in ‘Fall On Their Swords’ or ‘Blank Look About Face’. True to the band’s tradition of spitting gallons of verbal venom, Utilitarian is an in-your-face razor-edged platter of social, cultural and political commentary.

Corrosion of conformity

Corrosion of conformity

Deluxe digipak edition includes two bonus tracks. 2012 album from the Metal heads, the first album from the esteemed Animosity line-up in 10 years. Produced by John Custer, Corrosion of Conformity is one of the year’s most anticipated new albums. It is the efforts of this line-up that Decibel Magazine recently called a crucial stylistic lynchpin in the bridge between Metal and Punk. Corrosion of Conformity irrevocably reshaped crossover’s sonic possibilities. AllMusic.com notes, ‘‘C.O.C. weren’t following any trends. They just incorporated all the things they liked about Thrash, Punk and ‘70s Metal originators Black Sabbath into their constantly evolving sound. It secured them artistic and commercial credibility.’’

Autopsy

All Tomorrow’s Funerals

All Tomorrow’s Funerals contains new studio tracks recorded late 2011 - including a re-recorded version of classic oldie ‘Mauled to Death’ - plus all of Autopsy’s past EP’s and rarities which have been specially remastered by the band themselves, totalling 22 tracks all together, resulting in over 73 minutes of sickness.

Everything from ‘Retribution For The Dead’ and ‘Fiend for Blood’, to the now sold-out EP The Tomb Within is present, including liner notes from the band and new cover art from renowned artist Matt Cavotta.

Death

Vivus

Vivus captures two stunning full concerts of the final lineup of Death in one deluxe package.

Disc One features the band at the height of their prowess tearing the roof off of the infamous Whisky A Go-Go in Los Angeles while Disc Two is a brilliant recording of the band on the festival stage at Dynamo Open Air.
