On their anthemic mission statement "Kings of Metal" Manowar once again proclaim their metal superiority thusly: "Other bands play, Manowar kills." The twin sentiments of the group's metal mastery and the majesty of medieval heroism in battle are doggedly repeated on their sixth full-length release, Kings of Metal. There aren't many surprises on the disc, with the possible exception of bassist Joey DeMaio's blinding 64th-note bass playing on a reworking of Russian classicist Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumblebee" entitled "Sting of the Bumblebee." Considered by some fans to be a classic of its own, the 1988 release might have a few too many ballads for power metal enthusiasts brushing up on the genre's history. Even devout Manowar enthusiasts would have to admit that the band's staunch metal formalism isn't for everybody, and the most open-minded of listeners still might struggle with the muscle-bound pretense of slow-motion tracks like "Heart of Steel," "Crown and the Ring," and "Hail and Kill." Speedier tracks like "Wheels of Fire" demonstrate the groups talents much better, and are conspicuously low in number on this release. Besides their refreshingly totalistic loyalty to form, Manowar's most admirable trait is their prodigious metal musicianship, but with so much slow, balladic material, Kings of Metal makes little use of the band's fundamental musical strengths. ~ Vincent Jeffries

| | Manowar Triumph Of Steel CD (1992)
Kings Of Metal
$8.39 
Manowar: Eric Adams (vocals); David Shankle (electric, acoustic & classical guitars); Joey DeMaio (4-string, 8-string & piccolo bass guitars, bass pedals); Rhino (drums, percussion).
Recorded at Haus Wanfried, New York, New York.
With a 28-minute opening track, slightly expanded lyrical themes, and some of the best rhythmic onslaughts recorded by Manowar, The Triumph of Steel is perhaps the band's finest '90s offering. While never abandoning their myopic swords-and-sorcery themed power metal, Manowar had evolved musically ...

| | M Ward End Of Amnesia CD (2001)
Kings Of Metal
$12.95
Personnel includes: M. Ward, Adam Selzer, Howe Gelb, Mike Coykendall, Jordan Hudson, Deeana Varagona, Bruce Winter.
Released in 2001, END OF AMNESIA is M. Ward's second studio album and his last before making the leap to Merge Records, a move that went hand-in-hand with the indie-folk performer's ascent in both creativity and popularity. That's not to say, however, that there isn't plenty to admire on AMNESIA--the record resonates with a pastoral beauty evoked by Ward's weathered singing and elegant-yet-rootsy guitar playing (see the gentle "Archangel Tale"). Although he breaks the laid-back vibe with the rock & roll rave-up "Flaming Heart," most of AMNESIA rests on Ward's woozy acoustic reveries, providing a fine warm-up to the more dynamic and assured TRANFIGURATION OF VINCENT.
M.Ward's second solo enterprise verifies the artist as one of those few songwriters who stand between the cracks of time, where he spins a hallucinatory, new universe out of old-world roots. Indeed, there's a real down-home, unpolished luster to End of Amnesia, both in execution and in songwriting, that gives it a timeless, old-fashioned pallor. And yet there's also something just slightly off in the songs, a strange, disembodied quality that seems to come at least partly from an ulterior place, be it real or imagined. That attribute is precisely what gives the music such a singular, distinctive sound and vision. Ward comes off like a sort of one-man the Band with nothing but a beat-up guitar and his sepia croak of a voice. His acoustic guitar playing has the kind of impressive, gutsy virtuosity of Stephen Stills, while the music is part folk-blues à la ...
| | Better Than Average Weekend: A Tribute To Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet CD (2001)
Kings Of Metal
$11.39
This entertaining tribute gives props to Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet, the Canadian instrumental combo perhaps best known for contributing the theme song to Kids in the Hall. A stable of surf guitar and garage rock revivalists does the feting, with types like Squid Vicious, Insect Surfers, Mulchmen, and Spy-Fi making appearances. The material lacks that certain punk-influenced grit that really defined the Shadowy Men's sound. Still, the bands here get lots of credit for earnest, energetic playing, especially in the reverb guitar department. Highlights include Dirk Doom's version of the group's most famous track, the Deoras' "Siesta Cinema," and a brooding Urban ...

| | Hospitals I've Visited The Island Of Jocks And Jazz CDs (2005)
Kings Of Metal
$12.95
The Hospitals: Adam Stonehouse (various instruments); Ned Meiners (guitar).
Personnel: Eric Parks (guitar).
Audio Mixer: Chris Woodhouse.
Following up a covers EP with a second album of all-original songs, the Hospitals embrace the noise-via-Load Records aesthetic through, on the face of it, expected ways. Unconventional/"ugly" mixes, the blunt art-yet-not cover art and design, aggro-spacticism, and so forth. But the flip side of the noise approach has always been a sometimes subliminal fascination with silence and space as the counterpart, and that element, plus a similarly low-key catchiness, is what makes this album stand out a bit from the crowd. Adam Stonehouse's drumming is often a massively rumbling rampage but is rarely messy, but it's his singing that's arguably the band's ...
| | London Suede Dog Man Star CD (1994) (Import)
Kings Of Metal
$14.45
Import pressing of their sophomore album titled under their original name, Suede, as opposed to the US version, The London Suede. The latter of which is long out-of-print. Sony.
Contains the hidden track "Modern Boys" which follows "Still Life."
The London Suede: Brett Anderson (vocals); Bernard Butler (guitar); Mat Ostman (bass); Simon Gilbert (drums).
Additional personnel: Tessa Niles (vocals); Andrew Cronshaw (cimbalom, Ba-Wu flute); Roddy Lorimer (flute, saxophone); Simon Clarke (trumpet); Richard Edwards (trombone); Phil Overhead (percussion); Sinfonia Of London, The Tricycle Theatre Workshop.
Instead of following though on the Bowie-esque glam stomps of their debut, Suede concentrated on their darker, more melodramatic tendencies on their ambitious second album, Dog Man Star. By all accounts, the recording of Dog Man Star was plagued with difficulties -- Brett Anderson wrote the lyrics in a druggy haze while sequestered in a secluded Victorian mansion, while Bernard Butler left before the album was completed -- which makes its singular vision all the more remarkable. Lacking any rocker on the level of "The Drowners" or "Metal Mickey" -- only the crunching "This Hollywood Life" comes close -- Dog Man Star is a self-indulgent and pretentious album of dark, string-drenched ...
