On WITCHRIDER's new album “Electrical Storm” the mixture of loud and heavy guitars with dark electronic elements and strong vocals will explode in the audiences faces and hearts like a tender strawberry smoothie blast from a catapult. Our favourite Austrians are back, and strange as it may sound Arnold Schwarzenegger has nothing to do with this, except the fact that he is born in the same town as the guys in the band which obviously shaped the music to perfection. It became true Grazian stoner rock, a kind of rock that may not always be so heavy but very melodic and in lack of a better description catchy! Rock songs in hit format! Witchrider from Graz, formed in 2012. The idea for the band name was taken from sleep paralysis aka. “riding the witch”. After the critical acclaimed debut album “Unmountable Stairs” we’ve been waiting about 6 years for this masterpiece of a follow up

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present TIME RIFT’s debut album Eternal Rock on vinyl LP format. If you keep your hair long, your leather tight, and your denim dirty, TIME RIFT have the heavy-metal-rock-and-roll you’re looking for. Formed on the damp streets of Portland, Oregon, TIME RIFT have been cranking out riffs to rev your Camaro to since 2014. With their first EP release, Cold Future, TIME RIFT established themselves as a band whose sound has one foot firmly placed in 1974 hard rock. Fast forward to 2020 to their full length debut Eternal Rock - an 8-track-affair - and their other foot is suddenly kicking your ass with some NWOBHM bangers. A power trio with an emphasis on power, TIME RIFT features vocalist and bassist Levi Campbell handling the low end and high wails, Justin Kaye on the ripping licks, and Terrica Jennings holding it all together on drums. If TIME RIFT shows the modern world of rock and roll anything, it’s that time is irrelevant, and rock is eternal.

Writer and illustrator Edward Gorey enjoyed the Tiger Lillies song "Banging in the Nails" (on the album The Brothel to the Cemetery) so much he sent the band a large box of his unpublished stories, some of which they adapted and turned into songs. But sadly, before he could hear them, Mr Gorey died. Here are the songs, with the Kronos Quartet providing strings and barks, now reissued on vinyl

1998 Performance Broadcast Recorded For The Storytellers Series In early 1998, Stevie Nicks was approached by Warner Music to release a solo career-spanning box set, to conclude her contract with Atlantic Records in the US. After the culmination of Fleetwood Mac s reunion tour, in which she had taken part, Stevie settled down in Los Angeles with close friends and colleagues to devise a track-list for the upcoming three-disc collection. Enchanted was released to critical acclaim on April 28, 1998, with liner notes by Nicks herself, as well as exclusive rare photographs, and pages from her journals. She supported the collection with a successful US tour. Fittingly, on 18th August 98, she performed a superb show for VH1 s Storytellers series whereby popular artists would relate the tales behind a number of their most popular compositions, in front of a small audience, and then, of course, perform the song in question. For Stevie s episode, fans were allowed to ask her questions too. Previously unreleased, this CD now features the full set Stevie Nicks performed that night, and with a set list that includes some of the girl s finest tunes, all played in arrangements unique to the event, this release will prove a delight for fans of this enduring performer, musician and writer.

DELUXE VINYL EDITION!!! Red Hot Chili Peppers played the penultimate spot on the sites North Stage on the Saturday night, the first gig the band would play with new guitarist Dave Navarro, formerly with Janes Addiction. The performance saw the debut of new songs such as "Warped", "Aeroplane", and "Pea" although the songs were in the beginning stages and the lyrics were very different from the final versions. The groups performance at Woodstock 94 was a huge success and catapulted the Chili Peppers into a different league of popularity and record sales.

PHIL CAMPBELL AND THE BASTARD SONS, the band featuring MOTÖRHEAD guitarist Phil Campbell alongside his sons Todd, Dane and Tyla, plus vocalist Neil Starr, will release its new album, "We're The Bastards", on November 13 via Nuclear Blast. Starr says: "It's definitely great to know that we have an audience now. We know there are people that want to hear it, but the truth is that we just had fun with it. Once again, we made the record we wanted to make and it's been really exciting. It was awesome to take our minds off everything and just concentrate on recording a kick ass album for the fans to enjoy" Phil Campbell states: "We're really excited to announce the release of our new single, 'Son Of A Gun'. It will blow your head off!" The album is available as CD, limited digipack including four bonus tracks, 2 LP orange/black splatter and 2LP black.

NOW ON COLOURED VINYL - PEARL JAM’S SUPERB 1992 MTV APPEARANCE - PLUS BONUS CUTS!

CLASSIC ACOUSTIC BROADCAST RECORDING FROM 1996 THE B.S.B CONCERT Following Pearl Jam s tour in support of their 1994 album Vitalogy, the band went into the studio to record its follow-up, No Code. Eddie Vedder said later, Making No Code was all about gaining perspective. Released in August 1996, the record was initially seen as a deliberate break from the band's traditional sound, which they had employed since their debut, Ten, in 1991. Although the album debuted at number one on the Billboard charts, it quickly fell from the top spot; featuring the singles Who You Are , Hail, Hail , and Off He Goes , Pearl Jam only toured sporadically in its wake, largely due to their refusal at this juncture to play in Ticketmaster's venue areas. A European tour did take place in the fall of 1996 however, and on their return to the US Pearl Jam performed at Neil Young s Bridge School Benefit Concert on 19th & 20th October. The third time, since its inception a decade before, that the group had performed at this worthy charity show, their performance across the two days - both sets are included here - are long felt to be among the best acoustic shows Pearl Jam ever performed.

Mini-LP. No rest for one of Britain’s most melancholic exports: Just half a year after MY DYING BRIDE returned from their break with their haunting and successful (German Album Charts #12) masterpiece »The Ghost Of Orion«, the sons of Halifax raise the curtains to the »Macabre Cabaret«. The new EP of the band offers three new songs – dark luscious Death Doom ear candies that will dive their victim into a sensual world of darkness and temptation and conceal the borders between sweet pain and destructive illusion. The EP was produced mixed and mastered by maestro Mark Mynett and crowned with a beautiful and sinister artwork from Bunker Artworks

Here we are in 2020, exploding like a dream. Processing today’s numbed nation, considering mysteries of growing up and being older (like a memory of the future from your youth (not how you expected, but still your life)), Magik Markers rub upon their roots, art-noise jamming their way into non-linear song-sense and raw, beautiful music all at once

Come one! Come all, to the demented, heinous bloodbath of a murder metal circus that declares MACABRE’s return; Carnival of Killers. As MACABRE’s first full length album in almost 10 years since the release of Grim’s Scary Tales in 2011, and just in time for their 35th anniversary as a band, this latest installment to the catalogue will butcher your ears and derange your psyche as to be expected! Judging by the title, one can positively assume Carnival of Killers contains stories of your favorite murderous psychos: Bundy, Speck, Gacy, Ramirez, and a slew of heinous killers never sung about by MACABRE, before now. The album artwork, designed by Corporate Death (Lead Singer Lance Lencioni) and artist Laz Gein presents a “Where’s Waldo” style illustration of a colorful carnival filled with jovial children on rides, all amidst a slew of the album’s most memorable references: Bundy waving a woman over to his Beetle with his cast, H.H. Holmes displaying medical skeletons to passers by, Bittaker and Norris hammering their latest victim in the face in public instead of in front of a camera… a touching, family oriented, thrill filled weekend!

Alternating between raucous rock and roll ecstasy and gritty, stripped-down vulnerability, ‘PRIVATE LIVES’ is Low Cut Connie’s most potent and wide-ranging work to date, a complicated, sprawling double-album that’s at once beautiful and sloppy, brilliant and sordid, pissed off and joyous. Exploring the schisms between our inward and outward-facing selves, the 17-track collection is as empathetic as it is ambitious, giving voice to the losers and loners and outcasts who live their lives beyond the spotlight without glory or credit. “I see more clearly now than ever before what my calling is,” explains frontman Adam Weiner. “I’m here to write and sing for the underdogs, for everybody who’s not part of that shiny, sexy 1%.” While Weiner might not call ‘Private Lives’ a concept album, there is an underlying architecture at play. The record’s vacillations between riotous, anarchic anthems and raw, painfully honest solo performances underscore the lyrical shifts between its expressions of the public and private self. What do we show the world when we walk out the door? Who are we in our most personal spaces? The result plays out like a series of short films populated by dive bar patrons and late shift workers, single parents and starving artists, sex workers, gutter punks, and senior citizens. Weiner’s characters are ordinary folks just looking for escape and connection in a society that’s built on bad faith and broken promises. Rather than romanticize their struggles, though, ‘Private Lives’ dignifies them, painting rich, nuanced portraits of the kind of modern American lives that often go ignored or misunderstood. Weiner’s no stranger to struggle, himself. In the three years he spent writing and recording ‘Private Lives,’ he weathered what was perhaps the most tumultuous stretch of his life, rearranging the band’s lineup multiple times, facing down a harrowing mental health crisis and multiple injuries, and reimagining just what Low cut Connie was. Nearly thirty different musicians appear on the self-produced record, which Weiner captured raw and loose in studios across the country during a time in which he was spending more than 200 days a year on the road, lugging hard drives and tapes with him everywhere he went. If that sounds like a chaotic way to make an album, that’s because, quite frankly, it was, and the music is refreshingly impulsive and unpolished as a result. Hailed as “pathologically fun” by The New York Times, Low Cut Connie first exploded out of Philadelphia roughly a decade ago with their self-released debut, ‘Get Out The Lotion.’ Crossing the rapturous energy of Jerry Lee Lewis with the flamboyant sleaze of the New York Dolls, the record earned immediate critical raves, with Rolling Stone describing it as “what indie rock might sound like were it invented in Alabama in the late fifties” and NPR’s Fresh Air praising it as “both a throwback to early rock and a vital collection of raucous new music.” A year later, they followed it up with ‘Call Me Sylvia,” which the NY Daily News called “Mott the Hoople-style honky-tonk with a hint of garage-punk spunk,” and in early 2015, they returned again with ‘Hi Honey,’ an album dubbed “the essence of what rock ‘n’ roll should be” by Sound Opinions host and legendary rock critic Greg Kot. Despite all the glowing press, Low Cut Connie still remained something of an underground phenomenon, continuing to build up their cult audience one sweaty show and glorious festival at a time. That all changed in the summer of 2015, though, with a very unexpected co-sign from Barack Obama, who added the group to his summer playlist. Soon the band was counting the likes of Elton John and Bruce Springsteen among their fans as they sold out increasingly larger and larger rooms around the country. With more eyes on them than ever before, the band delivered big in 2017 and 2018, releasing a pair of critically lauded albums—‘Dirty Pictures (Part 1)’ and ‘Dirty Pictures (Part 2)’—and by the time 2019 came to an end, they were sitting pretty on Rolling Stone’s Best of the Decade list.

Lou Reed’s eighteenth studio album Ecstasy, released in April 2000, was a concept album about Reed's personal experiences with marriage and relationships and was his final solo-rock album. The cover photography by Stefan Sagmeister, features Reed masturbating behind a curtain to express the feeling of unashamed ecstasy. The record was well received by fans and critics alike, with the Village Voice’s Robert Christgau writing, "If his solo career produced a masterwork on the scale of whatever VU album you prefer, this de facto farewell is it." The Ecstasy Tour began in New York on 31st March 2000 and took in shows in the US, Canada, Europe, Asia and Australia. On 24th April, Lou and band played at the Philipshalle, in Düsseldorf, Germany, where they put on an extraordinary show which was recorded for both FM radio broadcast and for TV transmission. Featuring the majority of the new album plus a smattering of cuts from previous records, with only a one-cut nod to the Velvet Underground, and the same number of what most casual fans would consider a solo-classic, it was clear that Reed was so proud of his recent work that he was standing by it almost alone throughout his first tour of the new millennium. Previously unreleased, this superb recording is now available on vinyl (Volumes 1 and 2) for the first time, and is sure to prove a delight for fans of the great man around the globe

Here's the first DOUBLE-LP volume featuring Grateful Dead recordings which were made during the three-night 'New York Dance Marathon' event in 1971.

Among the most respected composers of the 20th Century, Frank Zappa was never away from a studio or a writing location for long. But while this extraordinary artist could compose in just about every style imaginable - from daft doo-wop pastiche to challenging modern classical he was never averse to covering the tunes of others, whether they be tunes by Igor Stravinsky and Edgar Varese or Lennon & McCartney and Holland, Dozier Holland. This collection features 23 cover versions, all recorded in concert during Frank Zappa s career, sometimes in humorous adaption, sometimes not, but always, as was Zappa and his numerous bands way, with musical perfection

ENIGMA EXPERIENCE sees Sweden and Norway joins forces as Truckfighters guitarist Niklas 'Mr.Dango' Källgren has teamed up with ex-Truckfighters/Witchcraft drummer Oskar 'Pezo' Johansson and Maurice Adams from Breed/Motorfinger on vocals. The brainchild of Källgren he also produced engineered mixed and mastered the album as well as playing bass and singing backing vocals. 'Question Mark' is a very diverse rock record that opens with the ten-minute odyssey ‘Realityline’ with vocal harmonies reminiscent of early 90s grunge heroes such as Soundgarden and Alice In Chains whilst elevating guitar lines weave over a pulsating backdrop of rhythm. Elsewhere ‘In My Mind My Secret Place’ sees them slow things up with an ethereal acoustic atmosphere building into a hypnotically heavy and devastating end whilst album closer ‘The Zone’ is a furiously catchy anthem with Kallgren’s trademark fuzz-fuelled sound piercing through. 'Question Mark' is an instant classic. It is a must have for every fan of modern rock , stoner rock and of course 90's grunge. Give this album one spin and it will make your mind want press play again, from the top!
