Debut album from 1999 by the French GURKKHAS, a brutal and sickening blast of technical Brutal Death Metal packed with ultra-complex riffs, devastating tempo changes and absolutely surgical musicianship. “A Life Of Suffering” combines extreme violence, oppressive atmospheres and frantic execution in a release that became a true cult piece within the late 90s European Brutal Death scene. A savage, chaotic and suffocating record where brutality and technicality march together like a war machine completely out of control. Recommended for fans of CRYPTOPSY, SUFFOCATION, DEFEATED SANITY and DISGORGE. [Digipack]

2nd album from 1989 by this Nashville-based American band and the release that marked its definitive transition from early Speed Metal into a more technical, sophisticated and distinctive Thrash Metal sound. With the addition of second guitarist Greg Messick, INTRUDER significantly expanded its songwriting approach, resulting in one of the most interesting and original American Thrash albums of the late 1980s.
"A Higher Form of Killing" blends speed, technical skill and melody through dynamic compositions packed with tempo changes, outstanding guitar harmonies and impressive musicianship. Although it never achieved the fame of some of its contemporaries, the album has gradually earned cult status among fans of U.S. Technical Thrash Metal.

3rd album from 1989 by these legendary American Power/ Speed/ Thrash Metal pioneers from Florida, one of the most influential bands in the development of the Tampa extreme Metal scene. Released two years after "Indulgence", "Penetration Point" marked the end of NASTY SAVAGE's original era before the band's 1990 split, capturing the group at one of its most creative and distinctive moments.
Its sound retains the aggression and speed of the band's earlier releases while introducing more sophisticated songwriting, unpredictable arrangements and the unique personality that always set NASTY SAVAGE apart from its contemporaries. Led by the charismatic Nasty Ronnie, the album combines razor-sharp riffing, constant tempo shifts and a dark, twisted atmosphere that would later influence many Florida Death Metal acts. Often regarded as one of the most underrated Thrash Metal releases of the late 1980s, it remains a powerful and highly original work to this day.
Recommended for fans of: MELIAH RAGE, REALM, DEATHROW and TOXIK.
Re-issue with thick booklet and poster of the 5th album from 1991 by these Finnish veterans and the final studio release before the band's breakup later that same year. Following several lineup changes and the departure of bassist and main songwriter Jay C. Blade, OZ returned with a revamped lineup and a more melodic and accessible sound than on their classic 1980s releases.
"Roll the Dice" retains its Traditional Heavy Metal foundations while incorporating stronger Melodic Hard Rock and AOR influences, revealing a more mature and commercial side without completely abandoning the band's identity. Although it never achieved the status of albums such as "Fire in the Brain" or "III Warning", it remains an interesting closing chapter to the first era of one of Finland's most important Heavy Metal bands.
Recommended for fans of: TOKYO BLADE, MADISON, PRETTY MAIDS, TNT. [Slipcase]
