Kill 'Em All is American thrash metal band Metallic a 's debut album, released on July 25, 1983 on Megaforce Records.Released in 1983, the record's release set the band on the path to world domination, as drummer Lars Ulrich would put it in the following year.According to some music critics the album is acclaimed for combining high-tempo (discounting the Cliff Burton bass solo (Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth) and a tribute to the band's early influences: Diamond Head, Iron Maiden, Motörhead and Venom, all English bands who combined the heaviness and technicality of Black Sabbath with the speed and aggression of punk rock.DownloadBlogalaxia Tags: MetallicaKill+Em+AllThrash+MetalSpeed+Met al

Ride the Lightning is American thrash metal band Metallic a 's second album, released in August 1984 on Elektra Records.Ride the Lightning is often hailed by fans as a classic of the thrash metal genre, and a vital bridge between the band's albums, Kill 'Em All and Master of Puppets, pushing the thrash metal of the debut into progressive territory more fully-realized on Master of Puppets and ...And Justice for All.Ride the Lightning retains the speed of Kill 'Em All on songs like Trapped Under Ice and Fight Fire with Fire, but also contains the first of Metallica's longer, more symphonically arranged tracks, such as Fade to Black and the nearly 9-minute closing instrumental The Call of Ktulu.Ride the Lightning was listed at number 3 in a list compiled by metal-rules.com of a list of the Top 100 Metal Albums of All Time and number 5 by IGN Music on the Top 25 Metal Albums.DownloadBlogalaxia Tags: MetallicaRide+The+LightningThrash+Metal

Black Sabbath: Black Sabbath, Vol. 4 1972
2007-09-18 04:35:00
Black Sabbath Vol 4 is the fourth studio album by British heavy metal band Black Sabbath, released in 1972.The album was originally to be titled Snowblind, the name of a track on the album which was a reference to cocaine use. The record company felt this to be controversial, for the American market in particular, so the title was altered. The song Snowblind had to be re-recorded because in the original Ozzy yelled the word cocaine after each verse. He can still be heard whispering cocaine in the final version, and he often shouted, Cocaine! during live performances of the song, as he does in their Reunion live album and the bootleg album Live at Last. In the liner notes of the album Black Sabbath thanks to the great COKE-Cola Company, a slightly-hidden drug reference. Also, the picture of Tony Iommi in the original gatefold sleeve showed his Gibson SG sporting a sticker that said Enjoy CoCaine, a takeoff on the Enjoy CocaCola advertising of this period.The track Changes was one of ...

Black Sabbath: Sabotage 1975
2007-09-15 16:23:00
Sabotage is a 1975 album by heavy metal band Black Sabbath .Sabotage, originally released on Warner Bros. Records in the US and NEMS in the UK, was Black Sabbath 's sixth studio outing. Singer Ozzy Osbourne has often complained in interviews over the years that this album marked the beginning of what he described as guitarist Tony Iommi's studio production obsession. It took vastly longer than the previous albums each took to record or produce, making for the most costly Sabbath album to that point (the first album only took a few hundred pounds and a couple of days). Like the previous album, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, fan response was mixed.In regard to sound, the album continues a trend that began with the previous album. With Sabotage, Iommi brought in more use of keyboards and orchestral-sounding songwriting and oddities (for Sabbath) like choral arrangements (Supertzar).The song Symptom of the Universe is often considered by some to be the first ever thrash metal riff. Sabbath fan...

Black Sabbath: Heaven And Hell 1980
2007-09-15 05:54:00
Heaven and Hell is an album by Black Sabbath, released in May 1980. This was the first album after singer Ozzy Osbourne left the band and was the first album featuring Ronnie James Dio , formerly of Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, who brought his own unique style of song writing and vocalisation to the band. With the changing of singers, a change in songwriting approaches, and the sound crafting skills of famous heavy metal producer Martin Birch, the band altered their trademark drudge rock to a faster, slicker and more melodic sound.The addition of Dio to the Sabbath lineup was not the only change made at this point however. Geoff Nicholls of Quartz was scheduled to join the band, because Geezer Butler had been threatening to quit the band and had not been around through most of the writing sessions. Initially, Geoff Nicholls was brought in to play bass and co-write, but when Geezer decided to stay with the group, Nicholls switched to keyboards. Nicholls would only briefly attain ful...

It includes 15 of their most successful singles around the world, commemorated on the 15th anniversary of the release of their debut.One new track was recorded for this collection, When Love And Hate Collide, previously a leftover from the Adrenalize recording sessions. The ballad became the band's most successful single ever in the UK, hitting #2 in the fall of 1995.The selection criteria for Vault was simple: The song had to have been a hit single. Even though most song choices were obvious (Pour Some Sugar On Me, Photograph), fans were surprised, in some cases disappointed, by the exclusion of popular album tracks (This would be rectified on later compilations).Vault was a major success all around the world even in the United States, where the band was at the nadir of their popularity as a result of the explosion of grunge in the '90s and t...

De Myst eriis Dom Sathanas is the first full-length studio album by Norwegian black metal band Mayhem . De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas is stated as meaning Lord Satan's Secret Rites (literally, Of the Mysteries of Lord Satan). It is marked out in the band's history by being not only the last studio recording of Mayhem featuring material co-written by Per Yngve 'Dead' Ohlin, but also the only full-length studio album to feature band leader, Øystein 'Euronymous' Aarseth.After Varg Vikernes (the session bass player on this recording) was convicted for the murder of Euronymous, Euronymous' parents demanded that the album not feature the bass parts by Vikernes. Hellhammer promised to remove the bass tracks from the recording. However, he did not record new bass parts, rather, he simply lowered Vikernes' contributions in the final mix. According to Hellhammer, he decided that it was somehow fitting that murderer and victim should be together on this album.Vocals on this album were perfor...

Judas Priest: Stained Class 1978
2007-09-08 06:28:00
Stained Class is the fourth album by the British heavy metal group Judas Priest , released in 1978.Considered by most fans to be one of the high points of Judas Priest's catalogue, Stained Class showcased a more streamlined songwriting style while not compromising on the band's trademark heavy metal riffs. It also introduced their classic logo, replacing the Gothic Script logo of earlier releases. This was considered by many to be the last of the four classic Judas Priest albums.An unfortunate legacy of Stained Class is the 1990 civil action brought against the band by the family of a teenager who tried to kill himself after listening to Better By You, Better Than Me (along with a companion, who succeeded in his suicide attempt). The suit alleged that the band recorded messages on the song that, when played backwards, said "do it, do it.? The suit was eventually dismissed. Ironically, Better... is not even a Judas Priest original, but a cover of a 1969 track by Spooky Tooth (writte...

Luciano Pavarotti (October 12, 1935 ? September 6, 2007) was an Italian tenor and one of the most popular contemporary vocal performers in the world of opera and across multiple musical genres. Known for his televised concerts, and as one of the Three Tenors, Pavarotti was also noted for his award-winning charity work for raising money on behalf of refugees and the Red Cross.Luciano Pavarotti was born on the outskirts of Modena in north-central Italy, the son of Fernando Pavarotti, a baker and singer, and Adele Venturi, a cigar factory worker.[1] Although he spoke fondly of his childhood, the family had little money; its four members were crowded into a two-room apartment. According to Pavarotti, his father had a fine tenor voice but rejected the possibility of a singing career because of nervousness. World War II forced the family out of the city in 1943. For the following year they rented a single room from a farmer in the neighboring countryside, where young Pavarotti developed a...
