Debut album from 1987 by this influential Seattle-based American band and one of the cornerstones of late-'80s US Power Metal. Fronted by the charismatic Warrel Dane, who would later achieve worldwide recognition with NEVERMORE, SANCTUARY emerged with a distinctive blend of Heavy Metal, Power Metal and Thrash Metal. The album was also produced by Dave Mustaine (MEGADETH), whose involvement helped launch the band's early career.
"Refuge Denied" stands out through its sharp riffing, dynamic songwriting and, above all, Warrel Dane's extraordinary vocal performance, packed with soaring high notes and the dramatic flair that would become one of his trademarks. Powerful, epic and melodic in equal measure, the album remains one of the definitive classics of US Power Metal and the starting point of one of Seattle's most influential Metal legacies.
5th album from 1990 by the American SLAYER, one of the most influential bands in the history of Thrash Metal. “Seasons in the Abyss” represented the perfect balance between the speed and brutality of the band's most extreme releases and a more refined, atmospheric approach, resulting in one of the most complete and acclaimed albums of its career.
With impeccable production, memorable riffs and particularly inspired songwriting, the album finds SLAYER at the height of its powers, balancing aggression, darkness and dynamics with remarkable ease. Regarded by many fans as one of the masterpieces of Thrash Metal, it remains an essential reference within the world of extreme Metal.
Recommended for fans of KREATOR, DARK ANGEL, DESTRUCTION and EXODUS.
5th album from 1999 by the dark and unmistakable TYPE O NEGATIVE, probably their bleakest, most depressive, and emotionally devastating work. A sick descent into despair, melancholy, and oppressive heaviness, where the band pushed their blend of Doom, Gothic Metal, and Groove to absolutely masterful levels.
