BLACK HAWK "The Invasion"

blackhawk
CD

Third studio album for BLACK HAWK, German band inspired by the classic sound of HEAVY METAL!

The album has a real 80s feeling, highlighted by the recording and by the use of choruses but also by the cover of KISS' "Detroit Rock City", a band that seems to have been a strong inspiration for these guys.

CD

When an Italian band describes itself as "horror metal", comparisons with Death SS are easy to come out, neverthless Blood Thirsty Demons carry a long personal story on their shoulders and are not a mere copycat. Recommended for all fans of obscure and dark music.

BREAKER Dead Rider

breakerdeadrider
CD
With the most reputed bands by that name, being the U.S. and the Canadian BREAKER, here comes one more KILLER band from Germany this time. In fact, this BREAKER should have been much more known had metal fans known that this is the band which one of the biggest German thrash bands of all time came from....and that band is none other than ACCUSER! Almost immediately after the release of "Dead Rider", the band called it quits and ACCUSED were created. BREAKER play a blend of powerful 80's heavy with some speedier arrangements and they're definitely worth your money 100%. In fact, they KICK-ASS big time!

This ultra cool re-issue contains the entire post-BREAKER demo called "Speed Metal" plus a short story of the band and cool reworked artwork and photos. Naming the best song is like forcing us to choose which part of our body we need less, but indubitably stuff like "Rapist Killer", "Street Fighter", "Lucifer's Dream" and the title-track are 80's jewels that we rarely listen to nowadays. So, waste no time and grab this perfect disc loaded with pure 80's metal mania. HAIL! (from Cult Metal Classics press release)

CATCH 22 Soulreaper: Evilution/Devilution

catch-22-soulreaper

DCD

This is simply US power/thrash metal at its best. Ferocious rhythm section, heavy and crunchy riffs, soaring leads and, on the top of it, outstanding vocal delivery courtesy of the mainman T.J. Berry, whose voice ranges from low roar to high scream and fits perfectly to the music: aggressive, hard-edged and strong.

Sounds like: Judas Priest, Wrathchild America, Testament, early Metallica, early Savatage.
