7th album from 2005 by the American EXODUS, a brutal and merciless work of Thrash Metal that marked the beginning of the Rob Dukes era and the band’s most aggressive and violent comeback in decades. “Shovel Headed Kill Machine” is a true sonic sledgehammer packed with crushing riffs, devastating grooves and a furious streetwise attitude that brings EXODUS back to its fiercest roots. With a massive production and a far heavier, more modern approach, the album sounds like an armoured bulldozer destroying everything in its path. Recommended for fans of TESTAMENT, MACHINE HEAD, SLAYER and KREATOR.
10th album from 2024 by the Swedish GRAND MAGUS, one of the most solid bands in contemporary Heavy Metal with a strong influence from traditional Doom Metal. “Sunraven” continues to explore their characteristic epic and powerful sound, built on heavy riffs, straightforward structures and a mystical Nordic atmosphere.
The album maintains the trio’s classic approach, combining the power of Heavy Metal with the solemnity of Doom, reinforcing their identity based on effective simplicity and the strength of the riff.
Recommended for fans of BLACK SABBATH, SABBAT (UK), MANOWAR and ORCHID.
1st album from '09 by this band that due to legal reasons they couldn't use the name of BLACK SABBATH, so then Ronnie James Dio, Tommy Iommi, Geezer Butler & Carmine Appice got together to continue the legacy with thie Heavy/ Doom so characteristic of the band specially during the Dio years.
2-CD reissue of the '94 second demo (8 tracks/ 56 min.) by this Polish band playing occult and dark Black Metal, very much in the vein of early Bathory. The 2nd CD includes 12 previously unreleased tracks from the same recording sessions.
4th album from '00 by this legendary brutal & dark Death Metal band from New York. Perhaps their best produced album since "Dawn of Possession". A killer masterpiece!!
2nd album from 1992 by the German INCUBATOR, a sickening and brutal blast of technical Death Metal and Grindcore packed with twisted riffs, unpredictable tempo changes and a grotesque, unhealthy atmosphere. “McGillroy The Housefly” combines extreme violence, uncontrolled speed and crushing technicality with a chaotic and warped approach that perfectly represents the early 90s European extreme Metal scene. A savage, strange and merciless record that alternates surgical brutality and sonic madness with tremendous personality. Recommended for fans of PUNGENT STENCH, BRUTAL TRUTH, SUFFOCATION and CARCASS.

13th album from 2012 by the German KREATOR, one of the most influential and respected bands in the history of Thrash Metal. “Phantom Antichrist” marked the definitive consolidation of the creative resurgence that began with “Violent Revolution”, taking the band's modern formula to new levels of intensity, melody and compositional ambition.
With impeccable production, razor-sharp riffs and a strong epic dimension, the album combines the aggression of classic Thrash Metal with Melodic Death Metal influences and more elaborate arrangements, resulting in one of the most complete and acclaimed releases of KREATOR's contemporary era. A powerful, inspired and highly effective album that demonstrates why the band remains an absolute benchmark within extreme Metal.
Recommended for fans of DESTRUCTION, THE HAUNTED, DARK TRANQUILLITY and TESTAMENT.
The only album from 1985 by this American Heavy Metal band from Los Angeles, led by guitarist and vocalist Niki Buzz. The line-up also featured bassist Don Costa, who would later perform with OZZY OSBOURNE and W.A.S.P. Although the band never achieved the recognition of some of their Los Angeles contemporaries, they left behind a genuine hidden gem of 1980s American Heavy Metal.
Its sound blends traditional Heavy Metal with Hard Rock touches and a strong early-'80s American Metal influence. Direct riffing, catchy choruses and a streetwise attitude drive a collection of songs that recalls the more melodic and accessible side of the era's Metal scene. An unjustly overlooked release that deserves rediscovery by any fan of underground American Heavy Metal.
Recommended for fans of: KEEL, ARMORED SAINT, LEATHERWOLF and FIFTH ANGEL.
Only album from 1991 by the French M.S.T., a cult band that successfully blended the aggression of Crossover Thrash with the attitude of Hardcore Punk into an intense, direct and highly distinctive sound. “38'48'' Regeneration” represents the creative peak of a group that, despite limited commercial recognition, left an interesting mark on the early 1990s European underground scene.
Across twelve tracks, the band delivers a crushing mix of powerful riffs, frantic rhythms and a strongly confrontational attitude, maintaining a perfect balance between Thrash Metal aggression and Hardcore immediacy. A true hidden gem of European Crossover that deserves to be rediscovered by any fan of the most intense and streetwise side of Metal.
Recommended for fans of CRUMBSUCKERS, D.R.I., UNCLE SLAM, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, CRYPTIC SLAUGHTER, TANKARD, LETHAL AGGRESSION...
