2012 compilation by this American band formed from the remnants of CONFESSOR after that group's original split. "Come Metamorphosis" features a remastered version of FLY MACHINE's sole 1997 full-length album along with three previously unreleased tracks from the same era. Rather than being a standard compilation, the release serves as a document of the transition from CONFESSOR's distinctive sound toward the unique musical identity later developed by FLY MACHINE.
Musically, the band blends Technical/ Progressive Thrash Metal with elements of Groove Metal, Alternative Rock and unconventional song structures. While retaining some of the rhythmic complexity that made CONFESSOR so respected, FLY MACHINE embraced a more accessible and exploratory approach without sacrificing musicianship or technical depth. The involvement of musicians who would later perform with LOINCLOTH further enhances the historical value of a release that remains one of the hidden gems of 1990s American technical Metal.
Recommended for fans of: CONFESSOR, LOINCLOTH, WATCHTOWER, HEATHEN.

2nd album from 1990 by this legendary American Thrash Metal band from the San Francisco Bay Area, widely regarded by many fans as the finest release of their career. With guitarist Tim Calvert replacing Glen Alvelais, the band evolved towards a more technical, melodic and progressive sound while retaining the aggression that had defined their acclaimed debut.
Its sound combines the speed and precision of classic Thrash Metal with sophisticated song structures, memorable guitar harmonies and outstanding musicianship. Russ Anderson's remarkable vocal performance and Paul Bostaph's drumming, before his departure to SLAYER, help elevate an album packed with intricate and highly accomplished compositions that remains one of the defining classics of early-'90s American technical Thrash Metal.

Debut album from 1988 by this German band from Bonn and a forgotten gem from the early days of German Speed/ Power Metal. Active between 1986 and 1988 under the name FORCED ENTRY, the musicians would later continue as STS 8 MISSION, making this album the only full-length document of the band's original incarnation.
"Forced Entry" blends Melodic Heavy Metal, Speed Metal and early German Power Metal with strong guitar harmonies, catchy choruses and the energetic spirit that characterized the late 1980s scene. While it never achieved the recognition of some of its contemporaries, the album remains a solid and highly enjoyable example of the formative years of German Power Metal.
