5th album from 1992 by the French KILLERS, a powerful and melodic work of classic Heavy Metal deeply connected to the French scene of the 80s and early 90s. “Cités Interdites” combines razor-sharp riffs, epic choruses and a dark, adventurous atmosphere with that unmistakable European underground flavour that turned KILLERS into one of the most emblematic bands of French Heavy Metal. More elaborate and mature than the band’s earlier releases, the album fully preserves their streetwise energy and combative spirit while delivering anthems packed with melody, strength and unique personality. Recommended for fans of ADX, SORTILČGE, H-BOMB and VULCAIN.
2-LP marble red vinyl edition including gatefold sleeve and poster of the 9th album from 2000 by the Danish KING DIAMOND, a dark and theatrical work of Heavy Metal and Horror Metal packed with unsettling atmospheres, razor-sharp riffs and the band’s trademark elaborate conceptual storytelling. “House Of God” develops a sinister tale of religion, madness and fanaticism while also reflecting King Diamond’s own personal vision and interpretation of what he believes truly happened to Jesus Christ, adding an especially controversial and provocative dimension to the album’s concept. Combining gloomy melodies, spectacular guitar work and King’s chilling vocal performance, the record delivers a deeply atmospheric and mysterious experience filled with tension and macabre elegance. A powerful and highly underrated chapter in KING DIAMOND’s discography. Recommended for fans of MERCYFUL FATE, SAVATAGE, CANDLEMASS and NEVERMORE.
4th album from 1988 by the American KIX, one of the most representative bands of late 80s Hard Rock and Sleaze Rock. “Blow My Fuse” combines energetic riffs, catchy choruses and a polished production typical of the era, also achieving major commercial success thanks to tracks such as “Don’t Close Your Eyes”.
The album shows a band at full maturity, balancing street attitude, melody and a more accessible yet powerful approach, typical of American Hard Rock just before the rise of grunge.
Recommended for fans of MÖTLEY CRÜE, POISON, RATT and CINDERELLA.
Debut album from 1989 by the Belgian LIAR, an explosive and highly technical blast of Speed Metal and European Thrash Metal packed with razor-sharp riffs, devastating speed and stunning musicianship. “Nothing But The Truth” combines aggression, melody and compositional complexity with a very dynamic and technical approach, moving between the ferocity of classic Thrash and the almost surgical precision of late 80s European Speed Metal. An intense, sophisticated and criminally underrated record overflowing with pure underground energy and virtuosity without ever sacrificing impact or aggression. Recommended for fans of CORONER, DEATHROW, TARGET and PARADOX.
11th album from '25 by this outstanding Swedish band devoted to an epic form of Viking/Pagan Metal filled with majestic folk and medieval melodies, heroic atmospheres, and powerful songwriting. Highly recommended for fans of THYRFING, SKYFORGER, ENSIFERUM, MOONSORROW, and the most triumphant side of Scandinavian pagan metal.
Debut album from 2022 by the Canadian MAULE, an electrifying blast of traditional Heavy Metal and Speed Metal with a strong NWOBHM flavour, packed with galloping riffs, huge melodies and absolutely infectious youthful energy. Deeply influenced by the classic British scene while adding a wild and streetwise attitude of their own, MAULE combines epicness, speed and addictive choruses in a release that feels both fresh and nostalgic, overflowing with fantasy, steel and pure underground spirit. Recommended for fans of IRON MAIDEN, ANGEL WITCH, SAXON and DIAMOND HEAD.
2nd album from 2022 by the Chilean MERCILESS LAW, a powerful blast of Heavy Metal and melodic Power Metal strongly inspired by the classic European school. “The Holy Company” combines energetic riffs, epic melodies and catchy choruses with a modern and polished production, striking a balance between aggression and accessibility that is characteristic of the style.
The album moves between traditional 80s-styled Power Metal and more melodic Heavy Metal, with clear influences from the German and Nordic scenes, standing out for its direct approach, constant energy and well-executed classic aesthetic. A solid release within the modern underground of Heavy/Power Metal.
Recommended for fans of HELLOWEEN, GAMMA RAY, ACCEPT and RAGE.
11th album from 2023 by the American METALLICA, a powerful and expansive work of Heavy Metal and Thrash Metal where the band recaptures much of the aggression and speed of their classic era without abandoning the heavier and more mature approach of their later releases. “72 Seasons” combines massive riffs, crushing grooves and a huge production with a deeply introspective and dark lyrical tone, exploring the formative early years of life through James Hetfield’s perspective. An intense, muscular and highly dynamic record that finds METALLICA sounding inspired, hungry and surprisingly ferocious more than four decades after revolutionizing the Metal world. Recommended for fans of MEGADETH, EXODUS, TESTAMENT and OVERKILL.
2nd album from 2022 by the Chilean MORTIFY, a complex and atmospheric Death Metal work that combines elements of Death/Doom, technical Death Metal and progressive passages in a dense, abstract and highly immersive approach. “Fragments at the Edge of Sorrow” builds a fragmented and dark sonic universe where non-linear structures, dynamic shifts and dissonant textures dominate the experience.
The album embraces a more introspective and psychological narrative, alternating dragging heaviness with more technical and ethereal sections, creating a constant sense of emotional and sonic instability. A complex, mature and strongly identity-driven release within contemporary experimental Death Metal.
Recommended for fans of GORGUTS, MORBID ANGEL, IMMOLATION and HOUR OF PENANCE. [Digipack]

5ş álbum de 1982 de los británicos MOTÖRHEAD, una salvaje y adrenalínica descarga de Heavy Metal, Speed Metal y Rock’n’Roll sucio cargada de riffs incendiarios, velocidad descontrolada y la inconfundible actitud callejera de Lemmy y compańía. “Iron Fist” mantiene intacta toda la agresividad y energía cruda de la era clásica de la banda, sonando como una pelea de bar a toda velocidad envuelta en humo, gasolina y amplificadores ardiendo. Más áspero y directo que sus predecesores inmediatos, el álbum se convirtió en otra pieza fundamental para entender la influencia de MOTÖRHEAD sobre el Thrash, el Speed Metal y prácticamente todo el Metal extremo posterior. Esta edición incluye además 5 temas extra. Recomendado para fans de TANK, VENOM, RAVEN y EXCITER.
1st album from 2013 by the French NECROWRETCH, a bestial blast of primitive, dark and blasphemous Death/Black Metal with a raw and infernal approach. “Putrid Death Sorcery” brings back the most cavernous essence of old-school extreme metal, with sharp riffs, straightforward structures and a ritualistic, diseased atmosphere.
The album clearly draws from the most primitive and filthy side of Blackened Death Metal, with an aesthetic reminiscent of the genre’s first wave and its most underground expression, prioritizing rawness, speed and impact over any technical refinement.

2nd album from 2007 by the Dutch ONHEIL, a furious blast of Blackened Thrash Metal and Death/Thrash packed with razor-sharp riffs, devastating speed and a dark, militaristic aggression. “Storm Is Coming” combines the violence of European Thrash with the coldness and ferocity of Black Metal, resulting in an intense, direct and crushing release overflowing with hatred, chaos and warlike energy from beginning to end. A savage and powerful record that strikes with the force of a storm made of steel and fire. Recommended for fans of AURA NOIR, DESTRUCTION, WITCHERY and NECROPHOBIC.

An essential release both for longtime followers of the band and for devotees of the dirtiest and most classic Swedish Death Metal sound. Recommended for fans of GRAVE, DISMEMBER, RIBSPREADER and DEMONICAL.
2nd album from 1984 by the legendary PANTERA, belonging to their early pre-Phil Anselmo era, when the band played an explosive form of Heavy Metal filled with speed, melody, and pure ’80s spirit.
6th album from 1997 by the legendary PARADISE LOST, a dark, melancholic, and atmospheric work where the British band continued expanding their sound into more gothic and emotional territories without losing their unmistakable gloomy essence.
