Members would go on to play substantial roles in both Reverend and Metal Church. In 2012 the band reformed and signed with a German label would released A TIME OF CRISIS on CD and it quickly went out of print, fetching ridiculous prices if you were lucky enough to even find a copy. Brutal Planet Records is fixing a grave injustice....reissuing this tremendous powerful, thrash metal album on both CD and Vinyl. The album features legendary axeman, Glenn Rogers shredding and thrashing as if his life depended on it. Glenn was in both early incarnation of Deliverance and Vengeance contributing and writing many of their most legendary tracks. Glenn now plays in Primal and Deliverance as his current gigs. Angelo played in both Hirax and Reverend, and Brian also played in Reverend.

In other words, this is US melodic metal perfection! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Prelude\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003col start=\"2\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Sons of Armageddon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003col start=\"3\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Crack The Sky\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003col start=\"4\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Fighting Fire With Fire\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003col start=\"5\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Dragon Wars\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003col start=\"6\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Song To The Dawn\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003col start=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Flamethrower\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003col start=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Storm The Castle Walls\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003col start=\"9\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Hell To Pay\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003col start=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Raindance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003col start=\"11\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Feast of Hate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003col start=\"12\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Battlelore\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003col start=\"13\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Alpha Omega Cannon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HhDDQOpZw0c\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;

Doug Pinnick, the 12-string bass thunder of the iconic power trio King's X, has laid down an ear-pleasing, foot-stomping, hand-clapping set of tracks on an \"electric poundation\" of massive bass vibes that'll set your whole house-a-quaking. Pinnick's trademark silk-and-gravel vocals impart a variety of moods to the album, lending a funky gospel voice to songs like \"Jangle\" and \"Shake,\" a bluesy world-weariness to \"Soul\" and \"Friends,\" a Hendrix-style otherworldliness to \"Red.\" Pinnick's understated guitar work is masterful (he plays all guitars as well as bass). The driving, crashing drum work of Chad Lyons, Jerry Gaskill, and Shannon Larkin (ex Wrathchild America and Ugly Kid Joe drummer) expand the vibes on this album to a truly massive, glorious wall of sound. Pinnick's innovative, enormously influential career ought by now to have earned him a prime seat in the first rank of African American rockers, right beside Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone. This music is great enough to give him the recognition he deserves. It's up to us fans to get the secret out.  This 1998 masterpiece has been digitally remastered by Rob Colwell of Bombworks Sound, and includes the Japan-only bonus track, \"Anger,\" and comes with a 12x12 insert featuring rare band photos and lyrics.  Limited to just 200 Black and 200 Random Color - get this treasure while you can!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMASSIVE GROOVES...\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLongtime King's X vocalist\/bassist Doug Pinnick steps into the spotlight via his very first solo project, Poundhound. Whereas his fellow bandmember Ty Tabor's solo album (Moonflower Lane) is more about sunny melodicism and songcraft à la the Beatles, Pinnick's album Massive Grooves from the Electric Church of Psychofunkadelic Grungelism Rock Music is a \"darker\" affair that stresses the importance of the almighty groove. Pinnick has always been one of the most groove-heavy bassists of rock, no doubt due to the use of a 12-string bass and an influence from funk music. While King's X-like vocal melodies do crop up on the tracks \"Soul\" and \"Love,\" other songs like \"Shake,\" \"Music,\" and \"Darker\" are more straightforward, hitting you on a gut level. Massive Grooves deals with the not always pleasant topics of alienation, loss, and regret; \"Friends\" discusses several of Pinnick's real-life \"friends,\" one who \"cuts himself to numb the pain,\" another who is \"going to die in jail,\" and a third who witnessed his father murder his mother as a youngster. But by album's end, Pinnick has resolved some of his issues, as evidenced by the soothing, subtle gospel sounds of \"River.\"   \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e              Music Critic \/ All Music Reviews by Greg Prato\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt’s heavy groove based rock with the best soul singer in metal....Doug’s bass and guitar sound amazing (you will rarely hear such a full bass sound).  \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e                     Mike Ladono (Music Critic)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eAlthough Poundhound never really strays far from the style of music created by Pinnick’s full-time job, i.e. thundering rhythms, unexpected syncopation, nifty chord changes, and tasty six-string work, Pinnick nonetheless has forged a set of songs with a distinct identity of their own.

The songwriting is excellent on this album, as expected. The musicianship is elite, with perfectly placed guitar fills, basslines, and of course the signature vocal harmonies. Can it get any better? This is classic King's X with no restrictions, no producers, and no record labels driving them for the next radio hit. This is straight up King's X, very neat, and it goes down ultra-smooth.  Indeed - this is top shelf stuff.  Compared to \u003cem\u003eEar Candy (\u003c\/em\u003ealso brilliant), \u003cem\u003eTape Head\u003c\/em\u003e is a monolithic slab of epic proportions. Now the album get's the deluxe Gold Disc treatment with an expanded booklet with lyrics and additional band pics. Also included is the Japan-only bonus track, \"Two.\" And, every CD comes with an exclusive King's X foil-stamped collector's card!

The arrangements on \u003cem\u003eManic Moonlight\u003c\/em\u003e are progressive and jazzy with clever hooks that might require a few listens to sink in--but after that they become irresistible. There's also more of a funk influence here, with album opener \"Believe\" (about Doug's struggle for self-acceptance) setting the tone with a fine groove with the song being another track of super-tight riffs stopping and starting in perfect time, over and over again. \"Skeptical Winds\" explores the style more deeply with touches of R\u0026amp;B and soul, and the heavy bass line coupled with hard-rock crunch on \"Vegetable\" is classic King's X. The Gold Disc also includes the Japan-only long version bonus track of \"Vegetable\" in addition to the Japan-only long version bonus track of \"Believe.\" \"Static\" experiments with dark ambient rhythms and odd samples, becoming a wall of metallic noise and screaming guitars. The wonderful lush harmonies that have been a King's X trademark are present on the melodic \"Jenna\" and the dreamy, uplifting \"False Alarm,\" which stand strong next to the album's harder moments such as \"Yeah\" and title track. It's another fine album from this very talented and underrated band. \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNow the album get's the deluxe Gold Disc treatment with an expanded booklet with lyrics and additional band pics.  And, every CD comes with an exclusive King's X foil-stamped collector's card! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uoW-quCaqw8\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 Believe 4:46\u003cbr\u003e2 Manic Moonlight 4:32\u003cbr\u003e3 Yeah 3:40\u003cbr\u003e4 False Alarm 4:36\u003cbr\u003e5 Static 4:29\u003cbr\u003e6 Skeptical Winds 6:51\u003cbr\u003e7 The Other Side 4:49\u003cbr\u003e8 Vegetable 6:27\u003cbr\u003e9 Jenna 5:06\u003cbr\u003e10 Water Ceremony 0:18\u003cbr\u003e11 Vegetable (Long Version) 7:36 \u003cstrong\u003eBONUS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e12 Believe (Long Version) 6:28 \u003cstrong\u003eBONUS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boone's Overstock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39508697153673,"sku":"","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2657\/0558\/products\/King_sX_ManicMoonlight_CD_Card_1024x1024_1.jpg?v=1631152551"},{"product_id":"budget-gold-disc-cd-bundle-kings-x-tape-head-mr-bulbous-manic-moonlight-3-cd-pack","title":"BUDGET GOLD DISC CD BUNDLE KING'S X - TAPE HEAD + MR.

The Gold Disc also includes the Japan-only long version bonus track of \"Vegetable\" in addition to the Japan-only long version bonus track of \"Believe.\" \"Static\" experiments with dark ambient rhythms and odd samples, becoming a wall of metallic noise and screaming guitars.

By making quite a name for himself in hard rock\/heavy metal circles over the years, many would expect a full-on metal-guitar-shredding release, but Tabor has always emphasized the importance of melody and songwriting over carefree guitar wanking. Since Tabor handles all the album's singing himself, Moonflower Lane has more of a strong Beatles flavor than your average King's X release (Tabor's voice is similar to John Lennon's at times). Highlights include the hopeful opener \"I Do,\" and the melodic hard rock of \"The Island Sea,\" as well as \"I Know Everything\" (on which Ty's son plays French horn!), \"The Truth,\" and \"Her Palace.\" Moonflower Lane is full of first-rate Tabor compositions that longtime fans have loved and cherished since it’s release in 1998! First time ever on vinyl – and limited to just 400 units – get it while you can in either black or random color! This 1998 masterpiece has been digitally remastered by Rob Colwell of Bombworks Sound, and includes the Japan-only bonus track, \"Had to Move,\" which might be the single greatest bonus track ever!  We can't believe it got left off the original issue! Every CD comes with a Ty Tabor foil-stamped trading card that will please the most avid collector.

Doug Pinnick, the 12-string bass thunder of the iconic power trio King's X, has laid down an ear-pleasing, foot-stomping, hand-clapping set of tracks on an \"electric poundation\" of massive bass vibes that'll set your whole house-a-quaking. Pinnick's trademark silk-and-gravel vocals impart a variety of moods to the album, lending a funky gospel voice to songs like \"Jangle\" and \"Shake,\" a bluesy world-weariness to \"Soul\" and \"Friends,\" a Hendrix-style otherworldliness to \"Red.\" Pinnick's understated guitar work is masterful (he plays all guitars as well as bass). The driving, crashing drum work of Chad Lyons, Jerry Gaskill, and Shannon Larkin (ex Wrathchild America and Ugly Kid Joe drummer) expand the vibes on this album to a truly massive, glorious wall of sound. Pinnick's innovative, enormously influential career ought by now to have earned him a prime seat in the first rank of African American rockers, right beside Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone. This music is great enough to give him the recognition he deserves. It's up to us fans to get the secret out.  This 1998 masterpiece has been digitally remastered by Rob Colwell of Bombworks Sound, and includes the Japan-only bonus track, \"Anger,\" and comes with a 12x12 insert featuring rare band photos and lyrics.  Limited to just 200 Black and 200 Random Color - get this treasure while you can!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMASSIVE GROOVES...\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLongtime King's X vocalist\/bassist Doug Pinnick steps into the spotlight via his very first solo project, Poundhound. Whereas his fellow bandmember Ty Tabor's solo album (Moonflower Lane) is more about sunny melodicism and songcraft à la the Beatles, Pinnick's album Massive Grooves from the Electric Church of Psychofunkadelic Grungelism Rock Music is a \"darker\" affair that stresses the importance of the almighty groove. Pinnick has always been one of the most groove-heavy bassists of rock, no doubt due to the use of a 12-string bass and an influence from funk music. While King's X-like vocal melodies do crop up on the tracks \"Soul\" and \"Love,\" other songs like \"Shake,\" \"Music,\" and \"Darker\" are more straightforward, hitting you on a gut level. Massive Grooves deals with the not always pleasant topics of alienation, loss, and regret; \"Friends\" discusses several of Pinnick's real-life \"friends,\" one who \"cuts himself to numb the pain,\" another who is \"going to die in jail,\" and a third who witnessed his father murder his mother as a youngster. But by album's end, Pinnick has resolved some of his issues, as evidenced by the soothing, subtle gospel sounds of \"River.\"   \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e              Music Critic \/ All Music Reviews by Greg Prato\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt’s heavy groove based rock with the best soul singer in metal....Doug’s bass and guitar sound amazing (you will rarely hear such a full bass sound).  \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e                     Mike Ladono (Music Critic)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eAlthough Poundhound never really strays far from the style of music created by Pinnick’s full-time job, i.e. thundering rhythms, unexpected syncopation, nifty chord changes, and tasty six-string work, Pinnick nonetheless has forged a set of songs with a distinct identity of their own.

Fronted by the extraordinary talents of guitar icon Rex Carroll, the band received high praise in the music press - Guitar Player Magazine, Billboard, Kerrang, Metal Forces and Guitar For The Practicing Musician. Then in 1986, Rex Carroll formed the successful group Whitecross and also played in the critically acclaimed band King James while the New singer for Fierce Heart Robert Reynolds headed up the band Grave Danger from L.A. Following the original Atlantic album release AOR BLVD Records contacted Rex for an official, sanctioned re release. This project became a springboard, with a performance that followed at the Melodic Rock Festival. Fierce Heart was the surprise hit of the festival with fans turning out in droves, demanding the permanent reformation of the band and a new album.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCUSTOMER REVIEW\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e35 years after their eponymous debut, Fierce Heart is back.

By making quite a name for himself in hard rock\/heavy metal circles over the years, many would expect a full-on metal-guitar-shredding release, but Tabor has always emphasized the importance of melody and songwriting over carefree guitar wanking. Since Tabor handles all the album's singing himself, Moonflower Lane has more of a strong Beatles flavor than your average King's X release (Tabor's voice is similar to John Lennon's at times). Highlights include the hopeful opener \"I Do,\" and the melodic hard rock of \"The Island Sea,\" as well as \"I Know Everything\" (on which Ty's son plays French horn!), \"The Truth,\" and \"Her Palace.\" Moonflower Lane is full of first-rate Tabor compositions that longtime fans have loved and cherished since it’s release in 1998!

Many will think that Dane is completely insane or on drugs after listening to this, but we know that the latter isn’t true because of his stance against those who choose to let drugs control their lives. However, after listening to this one could wonder if Dane is really grounded in reality. The greatest aspect of this ambitious recording may not be the concept, rather the magnificent musical palette of colorful heavy metal here painted. Stepping the production quality up just a notch from the excellent \u003cem\u003ePolitics\u003c\/em\u003e, the low end here really stands out, which gives the music a dark and foreboding quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, Dane comes to the forefront here, making this his best vocal performance to date – sounding like a fusion of Geoff Tate and James Hetfield. With each release he continues to develop his own unique timbre and style. Instead of screaming at the top of his register, he really focuses on the lower end, which again gives this a darker, more gothic quality. One cannot help but listen to the chorus in the title track and be reminded of Type O Negative. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMusically, Jeff Loomis and Tim Calvert create some incredibly heavy yet melodic riffs and twisted solos, but the approach is less thrash oriented than \u003cem\u003ePolitics\u003c\/em\u003e and there is a sense that finesse was more important in the songwriting this time around. One listen to the divine “Deconstruction” or the progressive “Poison Godmachine” will confirm these assumptions. The drumming of Van Williams is not to be ignored either as this performance could easily rival Lars Ulrich’s performance on \u003cem\u003eRide the Lightning\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003eMaster of Puppets\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe theme seems to focus on the singer’s nightmarish loss of a girlfriend and how he deals with that reality.

Warrel Dane, Jeff Loomis and producer Andy Sneap have created a masterpiece that was one of the best releases overall in 2005 and still is today. Nevermore also added a second guitarist with Steve Smyth to support the solo master, Jeff Loomis. Warrel Dane's vocals continue to soar, along with the band's songwriting abilities. Every track on this album seems independent and special in its own way, while still supporting a common theme. \"This Godless Endeavor\" is kind of a prophecy--a harrowing portrayal of a dark future. With a towering wall of sound and the desperate, plaintive vocals of Warrel Dane, Nevermore laments the ills of American culture in powerful pieces like \"Born,\" \"Final Product,\" \"Bittersweet Feast,\" and \"Medicated Nation.\" They mold their distress into personal messages, as in \"My Acid Words\" and \"Sell My Heart For Stones.\" They compose mysterious stories such as \"Sentient 6\" and \"The Psalm of Lydia.\" But it all traces back to a common view of where we are today, and where we may end up tomorrow. This album does not necessarily lend itself to your understanding on the first listen. But that's part of what makes it special. \u003cem\u003eThis Godless Endeavor\u003c\/em\u003e is arguably the greatest heavy metal release of 2005, if not an instant heavy metal classic.

Like most of this band’s material, the songs are not immediately appealing, but after several spins the musical hooks of technical and artistic brilliance sink in and never let go. It is really neat to see the contribution of new guitarist Steve Smyth on several of these songs like “Bittersweet Feast,” a song that uses layered vocals, “A Future Uncertain,” with its incredibly important message “don’t waste your life on worthless hate and contradiction” and the somber semi-ballad “Sell My Heart For Stones.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile all this stuff is breathtaking, “Sentient 6,” which could easily serve as the metal banner song for the \u003cem\u003eMatrix\u003c\/em\u003e trilogy, is just jaw-dropping both conceptually in lyrical content and musically in the hauntingly powerful trademark Nevermore way.

Whether Steinbeck would have ever gravitated towards metal had he been located in Seattle in the late ‘90s we will never know. But Steinbeck and vocalist Warrel Dane would have found much infinity in their disillusionment of society, their uncertainty of the future, and a common distrust for earthly powers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis album is the follow up to the brilliant \u003cem\u003eEnemies of Reality. \u003c\/em\u003eStylistically,\u003cem\u003e Godless\u003c\/em\u003e shares more in common with \u003cem\u003eDead Heart in a Dead World \u003c\/em\u003efrom fives years prior.

This album broke that pattern in locating Steve Smyth of Dragonlord, Vicious Rumors and Testament fame as their permanent second guitarist. Not only does Smyth compliment the masterful Jeff Loomis in guitar shredding, he takes the compositions to new levels. The solid rhythm combination of bassist Jim Sheppard and drummer Van Williams is unprecedented on this album, especially after touring together for over a decade. Warrel Dane is at the top of his voice game here, bewailing how the world he saw is “swim (ing) the silent seas of sanity gone.” Herein lays the dreadful beauty of Steinbeck’s worldview as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpening track \u003cem\u003eBorn \u003c\/em\u003esets a high bar with sonic clarity and melodic death metal tones.

Many will think that Dane is completely insane or on drugs after listening to this, but we know that the latter isn’t true because of his stance against those who choose to let drugs control their lives. However, after listening to this one could wonder if Dane is really grounded in reality. The greatest aspect of this ambitious recording may not be the concept, rather the magnificent musical palette of colorful heavy metal here painted. Stepping the production quality up just a notch from the excellent \u003cem\u003ePolitics\u003c\/em\u003e, the low end here really stands out, which gives the music a dark and foreboding quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, Dane comes to the forefront here, making this his best vocal performance to date – sounding like a fusion of Geoff Tate and James Hetfield. With each release he continues to develop his own unique timbre and style. Instead of screaming at the top of his register, he really focuses on the lower end, which again gives this a darker, more gothic quality. One cannot help but listen to the chorus in the title track and be reminded of Type O Negative. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMusically, Jeff Loomis and Tim Calvert create some incredibly heavy yet melodic riffs and twisted solos, but the approach is less thrash oriented than \u003cem\u003ePolitics\u003c\/em\u003e and there is a sense that finesse was more important in the songwriting this time around.

Warrel Dane, Jeff Loomis and producer Andy Sneap have created a masterpiece that was one of the best releases overall in 2005 and still is today. Nevermore also added a second guitarist with Steve Smyth to support the solo master, Jeff Loomis. Warrel Dane's vocals continue to soar, along with the band's songwriting abilities. Every track on this album seems independent and special in its own way, while still supporting a common theme. \"This Godless Endeavor\" is kind of a prophecy--a harrowing portrayal of a dark future. With a towering wall of sound and the desperate, plaintive vocals of Warrel Dane, Nevermore laments the ills of American culture in powerful pieces like \"Born,\" \"Final Product,\" \"Bittersweet Feast,\" and \"Medicated Nation.\" They mold their distress into personal messages, as in \"My Acid Words\" and \"Sell My Heart For Stones.\" They compose mysterious stories such as \"Sentient 6\" and \"The Psalm of Lydia.\" But it all traces back to a common view of where we are today, and where we may end up tomorrow. This album does not necessarily lend itself to your understanding on the first listen. But that's part of what makes it special. \u003cem\u003eThis Godless Endeavor\u003c\/em\u003e is arguably the greatest heavy metal release of 2005, if not an instant heavy metal classic.

I hear some nods toward early Metallica, Megadeth, and Judas Priest, but Flotsam and Jetsam have managed to forge a pretty unique and recognisable sound, which was no easy treat in those days, when the scene was overflowing with new thrash metal acts trying to make it big. The fact that this is a debut album, just makes the accomplishment even more impressive.

Back in '86 we never referred to Flots as thrash metal. Rather, they were just heavy metal. In hindsight, \"Doomsday for the Deceiver\" is a blueprint for raging American power metal, somewhat along the lines of early Metal Church. \"Doomsday\" had everything we were looking for in a metal band in the 80's; thrashing aggression (\"Desecrator,\" \"Iron Tears\", \"She Took An Axe\"), long epic songs (\"Metalshock,\" \"Doomsday\"), a bit of humor (\"Hammerhead\") and a cleverly titled instrumental (\"Flotzilla\"). The was all accented by Eric AK's killer vocals throughout....1986 wasn't about pristine production, it was about energy, attitude, shredding guitar solos, crunchy riffs, screaming vocals, etc. All those things are present here in abundance. For those who are just the right age, \"Doomsday\" was one of the soundtracks to our youth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e                          SCOTT WATERS - NOLIFETILMETAL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE ALBUM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe arrival of Flotsam and Jetsam’s debut album caused a stir on many fronts. Doomsday for the Deceiver may have been released by Metal Blade—one of America’s leading independent metal lights—on Independence Day in 1986, but it was the Brits who took an exceptional shine to the pack of Arizona wild dogs (repped by Flotzilla, their jacked-up, Godzilla-meets-anglerfish mascot). Famously, Kerrang! gave the album a review glowing enough to power the grid of the band’s Phoenix home, topping high praise with an improbable six out of a possible five “K” score.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGranted, Kerrang!’s hyperbole concerning Flotsam’s classy-yet-blue-collar, energetic-but-virtuosic thrash was fully justified. Ribald hook-up anthem “Hammerhead” was a stadium-sized ripper powered by Jason Newsted’s walking basslines; “Iron Tears” had the guitar tandem of Edward Carlson and Michael Gilbert playing off drummer Kelly David-Smith’s precise pounding to deliver an infectious staccato shuffle; “Desecrator” combined galloping classic rock with sinister speed metal; and the title track was an epic, progressive marvel. Then there was frontman Erik “A.K.” Knutson, who quickly shot to the top of metal’s vocal pack with an unbelievable range, contagious vocal lines and the ability to punch holes in cloud cover, especially with the classically inspired, high-pitched harmonization in “Fade to Black” and “She Took an Axe.”\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe hard-working quintet had a classic at the ready, one which the press had rolled out the red carpet for. But as quickly as the future appeared to be theirs for the taking, all plans were detoured after Metallica’s Cliff Burton was killed and bassist\/bandleader Jason Newsted secured the gig that every thrashing four-stringer would have traded their grandma to get. For all involved, Doomsday for the Deceiver meant different things. For Newsted, it was an inadvertent stepping stone to 14 years spent with the biggest band in metal. For Gilbert and Knutson, it was the first of a 15-album career that continues to this day. For David-Smith and Carlson, it was the dominating force of their creative lives until they both stepped down in 2014.

It is one of the stronger albums they had done in over a decade. There may have been a legitimate fear that the band was going to become another Stone Temple Pilots-type band.

The last long track on the album entitled \u003cem\u003eI.A.M.N \u003c\/em\u003eincludes an acoustic rendition of \u003cem\u003eTrash\u003c\/em\u003e, and is very much worthy of hearing if you have the patience to wade through an ambient Hispanic-flavored instrumental piece that precedes it.

It is one of the stronger albums they had done in over a decade. There may have been a legitimate fear that the band was going to become another Stone Temple Pilots-type band.

The last long track on the album entitled \u003cem\u003eI.A.M.N \u003c\/em\u003eincludes an acoustic rendition of \u003cem\u003eTrash\u003c\/em\u003e, and is very much worthy of hearing if you have the patience to wade through an ambient Hispanic-flavored instrumental piece that precedes it. The acoustic version of Trash accents AK’s versatile voice perfectly. I did not think it belonged on this album, but after repeated listens of the album, it worked its magic. I seriously wish AK would have recorded a whole project of this Southern outlaw balladry. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf you found the album art for \u003cem\u003eMy God\u003c\/em\u003e intriguing, the title track song sheds light on it, connecting religious superiority with politics and war in a thoughtful way: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“My god is the only one\u003cbr\u003e My way is the way\u003cbr\u003e If you don't want to side with me\u003cbr\u003e Your soul will turn to clay\u003cbr\u003e My god is the only one\u003cbr\u003e My way supreme\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e No one understands your ways\u003cbr\u003e No one will sympathize\u003cbr\u003e We all think you wrap your religion\u003cbr\u003e To keep what's left inside\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e No one is on your side, no\u003cbr\u003e No one else wants to die\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I don't want to say you're out of your head\u003cbr\u003e But I can see right through your mind”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis album has a good amount of variance and deserves multiple listens to be better appreciated.

Eleven years after releasing its classic album Doomsday for the Deceiver, the band returned to the label that signed it, writing more aggressive material than it had in years.

Fronted by the extraordinary talents of guitar icon Rex Carroll, the band received high praise in the music press - Guitar Player Magazine, Billboard, Kerrang, Metal Forces and Guitar For The Practicing Musician. Then in 1986, Rex Carroll formed the successful group Whitecross and also played in the critically acclaimed band King James while the New singer for Fierce Heart Robert Reynolds headed up the band Grave Danger from L.A. Following the original Atlantic album release AOR BLVD Records contacted Rex for an official, sanctioned re release. This project became a springboard, with a performance that followed at the Melodic Rock Festival. Fierce Heart was the surprise hit of the festival with fans turning out in droves, demanding the permanent reformation of the band and a new album.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCUSTOMER REVIEW\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e35 years after their eponymous debut, Fierce Heart is back.

ACCU§ER is a thrash metal band from Kreuztal, Germany that formed in the early 80’s flying the crunchy speed \u0026amp; thrash metal flag with all the fervor of the most intense mosh pit imaginable. Despite not landing a contract with a major label for their early albums, the band continued to release a string of successful underground releases before disbanding for eight years. After Frank and René decided to get Accuser back together, the saga continued with the band releasing one album with Century Media and their three most recent albums with Metal Blade Records. The guitars are energetic and thick as a brick with aggressive melodic vocals. ACCU§ER is the perfect band for those who worship at the altar of technical thrash and speed metal in the vein of classic Metallica, Slayer, Believer, Death Angel, Dark Angel and Deliverance. With such strong lyrical content and musical brilliance, fans can now have access to these previously high-priced collectibles. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eCONFUSION ROMANCE \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ewas originally a 6 track EP, but the 2022 Remaster on Brutal Planet features three additional bonus tracks to make this a full length CD with 9 astonishing tracks!\u003c\/strong\u003e These are \u003cstrong\u003eessential head-bangers\u003c\/strong\u003e!  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 Head Like A Hole\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWritten-By – Trent Reznor 5:18\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2 Confusion Romance 5:00\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3 Cowboy On A String 3:39\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4 Driver's Seat\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWritten-By – Paul Roberts 3:53\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e5 Misery (Live '94) 6:00\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e6 Repent Lyrics (Live ‘94) By – Mary Buck 4:53\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e7 Black Suicide (Live ‘94) 4:54\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e8 Master of Disaster (Live ‘94) 6:45\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e9 Symbol of Hate (Live ‘94) 4:55\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOLIFETILMETAL REVIEW of the original 6 song EP (Scott Waters)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKiller EP featuring two covers, two originals, and two live tracks. \"Head Like A Hole\" is a Trent Reznor track and one of the best on the disc. \"Driver's Seat\" is a cool thrash meets acoustic cover of the British band Sniff 'n' the Tears' 1978 song \"Driver's Seat\". (Who the heck are Sniff 'n' the Tears?) An obscure cover no doubt, and one that took me a while to figure out. The two live tracks sound almost as good as the studio tracks.

It’s a great selection of studio and live tracks, just enough to wet the appetite for more.

The drums on this song are notably more industrial, quite fitting for this song. Next, \u003cem\u003eConfusion\/Romance\u003c\/em\u003e is only original track written by Accuser for this EP. The wall of guitar heard on this one is not to be missed. \u003cem\u003eCowboy On A String\u003c\/em\u003e, a morbidly-themed number from the \u003cem\u003eReflections\u003c\/em\u003e album, fits well on the EP selection.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe most unique track is \u003cem\u003eDriver’s Seat\u003c\/em\u003e, a Sniff ‘n’ The Tears cover. This one really works, and is worth the price of the EP alone. The guitar tones are gorgeous, and the drums are played close to the original version without compromising the metal composure. Following that are five live tracks that span the band’s career from \u003cem\u003eWho Dominates Who\u003c\/em\u003e (1989) to \u003cem\u003eReflections\u003c\/em\u003e (1994). Typically, live tracks are filler on albums. With Accuser it is just the opposite. My hunch is that Accuser is superior as a live band, and these live tracks capture that intensity in ways their studio songs do not reach. \u003cem\u003eMisery\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eRepent\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eSymbol Of Hate\u003c\/em\u003e are all given the live sound treatment with the intensity you’d hear at the show, recorded with raw but professional fidelity that will make you feel you are in the mosh pit.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis extra cool reissue is now available on Cassette and Gold Disc CD.

As far as I know, this is the only Accu§ER to see release in the US Should also mention that \"Reflections\" was produced by Alex Perialas who is know for his work with such bands as Testament and Wrathchild America.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e            NOLIFETILMETAL REVIEWS (Scott Waters)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE ALBUM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWhen talking about Teutonic (German) Thrash Legend Pioneers it’s essential to speak of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eACCU§ER \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ewith the same \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003ehushed reverence\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e as \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSODOM, KREATOR\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e, and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eDESTRUCTION\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e. ACCU§ER is a thrash metal band from Kreuztal, Germany that formed in the early 80’s flying the crunchy speed \u0026amp; thrash metal flag with all the fervor of the most intense mosh pit imaginable. Despite not landing a contract with a major label for their early albums, the band continued to release a string of successful underground releases before disbanding for eight years. After Frank and René decided to get Accuser back together, the saga continued with the band releasing one album with Century Media and their three most recent albums with Metal Blade Records.

With \"Dependent Domination\", the band sticks to their musical guns, cranking out more straight riff heavy thrash that falls somewhere between their 80's sound and their more groove oriented 90's albums. As usual, the guitars are heavy, thick and carry most of the songs. As with the band's 2010 comeback album, the first actual song (after a short intro) simply pounds you over the skull with pure intensity and sheer aggression. This is what modern thrash metal should sound like; chugging riffs, smoking guitar leads, pounding drums and head-banging songwriting. The follow-up track \"Torn To Pieces\" slows down the paced a bit, adds some more groove, but doesn't diminish the intensity whatsoever. Both these songs are simply crushing and reinforce what I like so much about Accu§er. \"Escape from the Oath\" is a fast-paced thrasher with a quick down-beat and some small Slayer-riffic guitar passages. \"The Cause of all Evil\" features some nice machine gun riffing. Frank Thorns' vocals here are aggressive and shouted in an almost punk-like fury, though in no way would I describe them as being \"core.\" Imagine a mix of late 80's Metallica, mixed with later day Testament, some of the groove of Pantera and perhaps just a touch of Machine Head.

Add Germany's Accu§er to the mix. Their decade long career started around 1986 and ended somewhere around 1995-96. Only a single member remains here from the band's 1987 debut \"The Conviction\", vocalist\/guitarist Frank Thoms. However, long-time lead guitarist René Schütz, who joined Accu§er on ther 1988 Experimental Errors EP, is also on-board for this reunion. The rhythm section consists of Frank Kimpel (bass) and Olli Fechner (drums). The four original formed under the new name Scartribe and began recording some demos. Eventually the band just decided to return to the name Accu§er, and why not? The band's first new release in 15 years, \"Agitation,\" sounds like it could have been the immediate follow-up to 1995's \"Taken By the Throat\".\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUnlike many of the reformed bands and the hordes of New Wave of Thrash Metal bands, Accu§er have not tried to recapture 1985 all over again. Rather the band moves forward with a sound that is a nice mixture of modern metal and classic thrash metal. \"Agitation\" is not only a return to where the band left off, but is actually more solid from front to back than their last record. Rather than just trying to hammer everyone over the head with a \"heavier-than-thou\" approach, they offer creativity in the songwriting and aren't afraid to slow things down when necessary and even add in some elements that many traditional thrash metal bands would avoid.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe sound here is heavy, down-tuned, slightly technical, with melodic guitar lines that keep the songs feeling fresh. As a matter of fact, after two opening songs that will crush any listener like a 10 ton weight, \"Century of the Fall\" adds in some nice Thin Lizzy inspired dual-guitar leads. \"No Feats\" is a crushing opener, with some choice guitar leads and nice melody wrapped-up against Thoms brute-force vocals. \"Chaincrusher\" follows up with more speed and pummeling heavy riffs that are sure to get most metal fans head banging along. \"King of South\" and \"Strength of All\" switch up the pace a bit, moving more into the slower, groove-based, yet equally heavy territories. \"King of the South\" features some more melodic guitar parts and a choice guitar solo jumbled into the song. Oddly enough, the title track is a melodic, mellow instrumental that reminded me of the opening moments of Kiss' \"Rock Bottom\". The song acts as an intro to \"Prophecies\", a song that has a great lead section and a killer thrash drive in the verses, but also features a 'core breakdown that are sure to turn off some thrash metal purists. However, that down-tuned breakdown gives way to the guitar solo section and some nice dual leads. As stated, \"Agitation\" is a mixture of modern metal and classic thrash metal. Kudos to Accu§er for doing what they want and not jumping on a bandwagon.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“Agitation” is a solid comeback and a viciously under-appreciated release by this classic German band. It's not an album for those looking for a kick-back to 1985, but those who can appreciate a band that has transformed their thrash metal into something new will find plenty to digest here.","brand":"Boone's Overstock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40246719807625,"sku":"","price":2.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2657\/0558\/products\/Accuser_Agitation_Cassette.jpg?v=1650504276"},{"product_id":"accuser-dependent-domination-new-cd-w-collector-card-2022-brutal-planet-elite-german-thrash","title":"ACCUSER- DEPENDENT DOMINATION (*NEW-CD w Collector Card, 2022, Brutal Planet) elite German Thrash","description":"\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/P0nW0Ks36tU\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e \u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XcUR17SZQ2s\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff00ff;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e***We strongly encourage you to purchase hassle-free low cost insurance for your order at checkout.

With \"Dependent Domination\", the band sticks to their musical guns, cranking out more straight riff heavy thrash that falls somewhere between their 80's sound and their more groove oriented 90's albums. As usual, the guitars are heavy, thick and carry most of the songs. As with the band's 2010 comeback album, the first actual song (after a short intro) simply pounds you over the skull with pure intensity and sheer aggression. This is what modern thrash metal should sound like; chugging riffs, smoking guitar leads, pounding drums and head-banging songwriting. The follow-up track \"Torn To Pieces\" slows down the paced a bit, adds some more groove, but doesn't diminish the intensity whatsoever. Both these songs are simply crushing and reinforce what I like so much about Accu§er. \"Escape from the Oath\" is a fast-paced thrasher with a quick down-beat and some small Slayer-riffic guitar passages. \"The Cause of all Evil\" features some nice machine gun riffing. Frank Thorns' vocals here are aggressive and shouted in an almost punk-like fury, though in no way would I describe them as being \"core.\" Imagine a mix of late 80's Metallica, mixed with later day Testament, some of the groove of Pantera and perhaps just a touch of Machine Head. That's sort of the mixture of sound that makes up \"Dependent Domination.\" Once again, the current crop of thrash purists may not particularly like the more modern elements, or the bits of groove mixed into Accu§er's sound. However those who don't hold bands up to a rigid definition of what thrash should be should find much to like about Accu§er.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Boone's Overstock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40269740638345,"sku":"","price":4.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2657\/0558\/products\/Accuser_DependenceDomination_CD_CARD_1.jpg?v=1650984618"},{"product_id":"accuser-reflections-new-cd-w-collector-card-2022-brutal-planet-elite-german-thrash","title":"ACCUSER - REFLECTIONS (*NEW-CD w Collector Card, 2022, Brutal Planet) elite German Thrash","description":"\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MtgzQcuPLy8\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e \u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qUpDiT2-vz8\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"\u003e***We strongly encourage you to purchase hassle-free low cost insurance for your order at checkout.

ACCU§ER is a thrash metal band from Kreuztal, Germany that formed in the early 80’s flying the crunchy speed \u0026amp; thrash metal flag with all the fervor of the most intense mosh pit imaginable. Despite not landing a contract with a major label for their early albums, the band continued to release a string of successful underground releases before disbanding for eight years. After Frank and René decided to get Accuser back together, the saga continued with the band releasing one album with Century Media and their three most recent albums with Metal Blade Records. The guitars are energetic and thick as a brick with aggressive melodic vocals. ACCU§ER is the perfect band for those who worship at the altar of technical thrash and speed metal in the vein of classic Metallica, Slayer, Believer, Death Angel, Dark Angel and Deliverance. With such strong lyrical content and musical brilliance, fans can now have access to these previously high-priced collectibles.

This album marks the first chapter of the band's progression and is characterized by raw speed and power (save for the instrumentals), very typical of thrash metal at this time. Formed in 1983, Coroner's music combines elements of thrash, classical music, avant-garde music, progressive rock, and jazz with suitably gruff vocals.

Teutonic (German-speaking) thrash bands such as Destruction, Kreator, Celtic Frost, and Sodom were pivotal to the scene. Now enter Coroner, comprised of prior Celtic Frost roadies. This three piece were mind-altering amazing from the starting gate right up to their last release, never even close to having a skip track. The magic of Coroner consists of Tommy T. Baron, a masterful guitar shredder, Marquis Marky, an extraordinarily fluid drummer, and the solid bassist\/vocalist Ron Royce. Royce’s guttural voice embraces metal like an aged whiskey complements a fine cigar.

This isn’t the story of a band having a killer piece of metal history emerge from a well of chaos and uncertainty. It’s simply the tale of three dudes from Zurich with a deep admiration for thrash metal, an open ear for other styles and genres of music, a penchant for being able to combine their many musical loves, and a love of doing just that. There may be an undercurrent of perseverance to Coroner’s story, one brought about by the trials and tribulations involved in attempting to make a name for one’s band in the pre-Internet age, especially when hailing from a country with as (then, anyway) limited a metallic pedigree as Switzerland, but that’s about all the drama 1989’s\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eNo More Color\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ecan muster.

It’s all very reserved; very Swiss, if you will.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe band originally caused a small stir as a result of their networking prowess three years earlier. Basically, while roadie-ing for Celtic Frost on their “Tragic Serenades” tour, the Coroner dudes would talk up anyone who would listen about their\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eDeath Cult\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003edemo (on which Tom Warrior did guest vocals).

The sinister shuffle of “Die by My Hand,” the classically inspired precision of “D.O.A.,” the scalar runs and Middle East-meets-Haight-Ashbury groove present on “Mistress of Deception,” the eerie epic-ness of “Last Entertainment” and the angular post-punk rumble of “Read My Scars” were amongst the album’s many highlights. The output was a collective work that retained the unhinged nature of thrash, but refined it with appropriate smatterings of dissonant chords, flashy guitar shred, baroque melodic layers and a progressive, far-reaching psych-jazz undercurrent that confused and alienated those who enjoyed their metal raw, rare and bloody, while clicking with those already searching for more from their thrash to the tune of tens of thousands of copies sold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter two more albums, the trio split up without much fanfare in 1996. However, Coroner have since caved to the demand of both the fans who rabidly and originally worshipped their output and those posthumous discoverers who can hear the steps they were making in advancing thrash metal 20+ years ago. This year, Coroner will reconvene to perform at France’s Hellfest, the U.K.’s Bloodstock Open Air Festival and the Maryland Deathfest.

Despite not landing a contract with a major label for their early albums, the band continued to release a string of successful underground releases before disbanding for eight years. After Frank and René decided to get Accuser back together, the saga continued with the band releasing one album with Century Media and their three most recent albums with Metal Blade Records. The guitars are energetic and thick as a brick with aggressive melodic vocals. ACCU§ER is the perfect band for those who worship at the altar of technical thrash and speed metal in the vein of classic Metallica, Slayer, Believer, Death Angel, Dark Angel and Deliverance.

ACCU§ER is a thrash metal band from Kreuztal, Germany that formed in the early 80’s flying the crunchy speed \u0026amp; thrash metal flag with all the fervor of the most intense mosh pit imaginable. Despite not landing a contract with a major label for their early albums, the band continued to release a string of successful underground releases before disbanding for eight years. After Frank and René decided to get Accuser back together, the saga continued with the band releasing one album with Century Media and their three most recent albums with Metal Blade Records. The guitars are energetic and thick as a brick with aggressive melodic vocals. ACCU§ER is the perfect band for those who worship at the altar of technical thrash and speed metal in the vein of classic Metallica, Slayer, Believer, Death Angel, Dark Angel and Deliverance. With such strong lyrical content and musical brilliance, fans can now have access to these previously high-priced collectibles. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eAGITATION's \u003c\/em\u003e2022 Remaster on Brutal Planet Records is\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eessential head-banging\u003c\/strong\u003e! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 No Feats 4:57\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2 Chaincrusher 4:17\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3 Century Of The Fall 4:07\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4 King Of South 6:00\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e5 Agitation 2:52\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e6 Prophecies 4:57\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e7 The Eye Of The Truth 4:53\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e8 Strength For All 5:55\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e9 Criminal Solution 6:42\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTILMETAL REVIEWS of original issue release (Scott Waters)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's simply astonishing the number of thrash bands that have reformed from the 1980's after dispersing and disappearing in the mid-to-late 1990's. Add Germany's Accu§er to the mix. Their decade long career started around 1986 and ended somewhere around 1995-96. Only a single member remains here from the band's 1987 debut \"The Conviction\", vocalist\/guitarist Frank Thoms. However, long-time lead guitarist René Schütz, who joined Accu§er on ther 1988 Experimental Errors EP, is also on-board for this reunion. The rhythm section consists of Frank Kimpel (bass) and Olli Fechner (drums). The four original formed under the new name Scartribe and began recording some demos. Eventually the band just decided to return to the name Accu§er, and why not? The band's first new release in 15 years, \"Agitation,\" sounds like it could have been the immediate follow-up to 1995's \"Taken By the Throat\".\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUnlike many of the reformed bands and the hordes of New Wave of Thrash Metal bands, Accu§er have not tried to recapture 1985 all over again. Rather the band moves forward with a sound that is a nice mixture of modern metal and classic thrash metal. \"Agitation\" is not only a return to where the band left off, but is actually more solid from front to back than their last record. Rather than just trying to hammer everyone over the head with a \"heavier-than-thou\" approach, they offer creativity in the songwriting and aren't afraid to slow things down when necessary and even add in some elements that many traditional thrash metal bands would avoid.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe sound here is heavy, down-tuned, slightly technical, with melodic guitar lines that keep the songs feeling fresh. As a matter of fact, after two opening songs that will crush any listener like a 10 ton weight, \"Century of the Fall\" adds in some nice Thin Lizzy inspired dual-guitar leads. \"No Feats\" is a crushing opener, with some choice guitar leads and nice melody wrapped-up against Thoms brute-force vocals. \"Chaincrusher\" follows up with more speed and pummeling heavy riffs that are sure to get most metal fans head banging along. \"King of South\" and \"Strength of All\" switch up the pace a bit, moving more into the slower, groove-based, yet equally heavy territories. \"King of the South\" features some more melodic guitar parts and a choice guitar solo jumbled into the song. Oddly enough, the title track is a melodic, mellow instrumental that reminded me of the opening moments of Kiss' \"Rock Bottom\". The song acts as an intro to \"Prophecies\", a song that has a great lead section and a killer thrash drive in the verses, but also features a 'core breakdown that are sure to turn off some thrash metal purists. However, that down-tuned breakdown gives way to the guitar solo section and some nice dual leads. As stated, \"Agitation\" is a mixture of modern metal and classic thrash metal. Kudos to Accu§er for doing what they want and not jumping on a bandwagon.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“Agitation” is a solid comeback and a viciously under-appreciated release by this classic German band. It's not an album for those looking for a kick-back to 1985, but those who can appreciate a band that has transformed their thrash metal into something new will find plenty to digest here.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Boone's Overstock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40362528211081,"sku":"","price":4.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2657\/0558\/products\/Accuser_Agitation_CD_Card_1.jpg?v=1653136858"},{"product_id":"poundhound-pineappleskunk-new-cassette-2022-brutal-planet-kings-x-vocalist","title":"POUNDHOUND - PINEAPPLESKUNK (*NEW-CASSETTE, 2022, Brutal Planet) King's X vocalist","description":"\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OMaa_tavQ88\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e \u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nAQE4B4T2q8\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff00ff;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eIN STOCK \u0026amp; SHIPPING NOW!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e***We strongly encourage you to purchase hassle-free low cost insurance for your order at checkout.

This album marks the first chapter of the band's progression and is characterized by raw speed and power (save for the instrumentals), very typical of thrash metal at this time. Formed in 1983, Coroner's music combines elements of thrash, classical music, avant-garde music, progressive rock, and jazz with suitably gruff vocals. With their increasingly complex style of progressive rock-infused thrash, they have been called \"the Rush of thrash metal.\" Coroner's sound then progressed and the production became more refined, resulting in more progressive albums. R.I.P remains a revered thrash classic for fans of classic \u003cstrong\u003eMetallica, Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax\u003c\/strong\u003e!  The 2022 Brutal Planet Records remaster comes on a Gold Disc for the first time ever, is packaged in a jewel case, and each CD includes a free Gold-Foil stamped collector card \u003cstrong\u003e(first pressing only)\u003c\/strong\u003e!  \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCoroner – R.I.P.

Teutonic (German-speaking) thrash bands such as Destruction, Kreator, Celtic Frost, and Sodom were pivotal to the scene. Now enter Coroner, comprised of prior Celtic Frost roadies. This three piece were mind-altering amazing from the starting gate right up to their last release, never even close to having a skip track. The magic of Coroner consists of Tommy T. Baron, a masterful guitar shredder, Marquis Marky, an extraordinarily fluid drummer, and the solid bassist\/vocalist Ron Royce. Royce’s guttural voice embraces metal like an aged whiskey complements a fine cigar.

Their self-titled debut features 12 tracks deeply rooted in groove-based ’70s rock, incorporating touches of psychedelia shrouded with ferocious metal outbursts. Pinnick’s gospel-styled, soulful vocals (the most underrated in rock) and deep, rumbling bass lines compliment Franklin’s infinite array of lethal guitar riffs while Olsen anchors the music with solid skinmanship. King’s X timekeeper Jerry Gaskill also makes a guest appearance behind the kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComparisons with King’s X will invariably be drawn with any project Pinnick associates himself.

Where both bands share a penchant for laying down groove-laden rock, Supershine’s heavier, harder-edged sound tips its’ hat to likes of Black Sabbath especially on numbers like “Take Me Away,” “One Night” and “Automatic.” However, the classic rock influence doesn’t end there.

The ten songs chronicle his journey through the end of a \"busted marriage.\" Aside from Jerry Gaskill on drums for most of the tracks and Christian Nesmith providing a few backing vocals, Tabor plays and sings (and produces and mixes and masters) everything on the album. While the material from King's X (Ty's main band) is usually harder and more progressive, Ty's solo music is full of easily palatable pop-rock with catchy melodies and copious amounts of Beatle-derived vocal harmonies. The opening track, \"Tulip\" is example one with an upbeat acoustic-electric song that bears a strong George Harrison influence. The title track mixes acoustic Zeppelin with Crosby, Stills \u0026amp; Nash vocal harmonies to create a rollicking good tune where Tabor finds some peace during his marital discord.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuitar fans will gravitate to the tracks on \u003cem\u003eSafety\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewith crunchy guitar riffs that propel Ty's silken vocals through unusual chord changes. In \"Better To Be On Hold\" Ty captures his emotional state succinctly with lyrics like \"She's all about her business\/ She's got an address \/ And I am helpless\" while accompanied by a great, chunky guitar riff. \"Funeral,\" possibly the heaviest song, has more gutsy guitar work leading to multi-layered vocal harmonies in the chorus and one mind-blowing guitar solo, effective more for it's emotion than it's technical aspects. Although Tabor finds his life to be a \"perpetual funeral\" the bridge reveals the hope that \"the knot will slowly start to loosen.\" While you might expect a song titled \"Anger\" to give a double-dose of distortion, Tabor instead presents a mid-tempo pop-rock gem while me muses that there is \"Anger if I think about it\" while again realizing that \"I can see the end of the roller coaster.\" The final track, \"I Don't Mind\" opens and closes with some freakish Adrian-Belewish guitar sounds compliments of Wally Farkas. With slow, melancholy guitars ringing Tabor takes off his wedding ring and coils a great melody around the lyrics \"And if it's you \/ You need to find \/ I don't mind \/ Anymore\", closing the album with an inner resolution to heal and move on. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere Tabor shows he can be at his best when collaborating with others.
