5th album from 1984 by the German FAITHFUL BREATH, a band that began its career in Progressive Rock before gradually evolving into a powerful and distinctly German brand of Heavy Metal. “Gold 'n' Glory” is widely regarded by many fans as the pinnacle of this period and one of the great hidden classics of 1980s German Heavy Metal.
With a powerful production, memorable riffs and an excellent balance of strength and melody, the album finds the band at the height of its creative powers. Its sound bridges the gap between the classic German Heavy Metal scene and the European Hard Rock movement of the era, while also foreshadowing the path that would eventually lead the members of FAITHFUL BREATH to form the legendary RISK.
Recommended for fans of ACCEPT, GRAVESTONE, WARLOCK and VIVA. [Slipcase]
2nd album from 1991 by the Belgian LIAR, a brilliant and razor-sharp work of Speed Metal and technical Thrash Metal where the band perfected the complex and virtuosic approach introduced on their debut. “Cheatin’ Games” combines vertiginous riffs, elaborate song structures and stunning musicianship with relentless aggression and a strong melodic sense, moving between the surgical precision of European technical Thrash and the explosive speed of classic Speed Metal. More mature and sophisticated than its predecessor, the album has become a true cult gem of the early 90s European Thrash scene. Recommended for fans of CORONER, DEATHROW, PARADOX and TARGET.

7th album from 2026 by the Swedish SOEN, one of the leading bands in contemporary Progressive Metal. “Reliance” continues the evolution showcased on the band's most recent releases, embracing a more direct, heavier and accessible sound without sacrificing the emotional depth and distinctive identity that have made the group a reference within the genre.
With an impeccable production, strong melodies and the characteristic vocal performance of Joel Ekelöf, the album combines power, atmosphere and compositional sensitivity in a solid and well-balanced whole. A release that finds SOEN exploring new nuances within its sound while maintaining the balance between the intensity of modern Metal and the elegance of melodic Progressive Metal.

Vinyl re-issue in black wax, poster & photo card of the debut album from 1985 by this Danish Heavy Metal band, widely regarded as one of the hidden gems of the Scandinavian Metal scene. Although overshadowed by bigger names such as MERCYFUL FATE and PRETTY MAIDS, it has gradually earned cult status among fans of melodic Heavy Metal and the more accessible side of the NWOBHM.
Its sound blends traditional Heavy Metal, melodic Hard Rock and strong influences from the early British Metal movement. Catchy riffs, excellent guitar harmonies, memorable choruses and youthful energy define an album that strikes a fine balance between power and melody. Direct, honest and packed with hooks, it remains a genuine hidden treasure of the 1980s European Metal underground.
Recommended for fans of: PRETTY MAIDS, TOKYO BLADE, SHY and MAD MAX.
11th album from 1983 by the British BLACK SABBATH, a dark and controversial work of Heavy Metal and Hard Rock marked by the addition of Ian Gillan from DEEP PURPLE on vocals. “Born Again” features a dense, dirty and oppressive sound packed with Tony Iommi’s crushing riffs, gloomy atmospheres and a raw production that over time has become an essential part of the album’s strange and decadent charm. A record far darker and weirder than it may initially seem, with BLACK SABBATH exploring heavy, theatrical and almost psychedelic territories through a truly unique personality within their discography. Recommended for fans of DEEP PURPLE, DIO, TROUBLE and SAINT VITUS.
