Despite the difficulties that had plagued them in recent years (including inconsistent albums, constant lineup changes, and even the suicide of founding drummer Ingo Schwichtenberg), German power metal kings Helloween had been gradually finding their way back to the glory of their early days with each succeeding release. And with their seventh album, 1996's The Time of the Oath, they pretty much arrived, delivering their best collection of songs in almost a decade and never straying from their patented Euro-metal formula. Come on, Helloween pretty much invented this stuff, and the hundreds of disciples they inspired into existence simply couldn't be wrong -- this was still an important band. The Time of the Oath adds nearly nothing new to the group's well-established sound (quasi-thrash riffing, harmony guitars, piercing chorused vocals), yet -- for the first time in years -- they manage to steer clear of the pop-metal pitfalls, corny lyrics, and forced comedy that had sunk them in the first place. Melodic moshers like "We Burn," "Steel Tormentor," and the title track lead the way, but even occasional digressions into epic songwriting ("Mission Motherland") and power balladry ("Power") are much more effective than in recent efforts. Arguably the finest moment of the band's latter-day career, The Time of the Oath also offers a fond welcome back for old-school fans who had given up on Helloween. [Time of the Oath was reissued in 2006 in an expanded edition that included bonus tracks.] ~ Eduardo Rivadavia

This is a great album, with all songs being top notch. I think alot of thought and effort was put into this album by Helloween. What really struck me about this album is how strong the band plays together.

Purchase Time Of The Oath CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Anthrax Spreading The Disease CD (1985)
Time Of The Oath album
 $7.79    
Anthrax's first full-length recording with new vocalist Joey Belladonna and bassist Frank Bello, 1985's SPREADING THE DISEASE, showed that the band had survived its first major lineup change without skipping a beat. If anything, the change strengthened the quintet, just in time for its first major-label release, on Island Records. While most thrash metal bands at the time were fronted by a gruff, screaming singer, Belladonna sang in a manner that was both melodic and conventional. Musically, the band could still thrash away with ...

Time Of The Oath CD music
$6.49
As the drums kick into the fierce opener "Tarot Woman," it's obvious that RISING delivers directly to your door. It is the band's second release, and a vast improvement over RICHIE BLACKMORE'S RAINBOW. With a revamped lineup that sounds like it had been touring together for years, the album takes no prisoners. "Starstruck" is a classic groove reminiscent of guitarist Blackmore's ex-band Deep Purple. Blackmore replaced everyone from the first album's lineup except vocalist Ronnie Dio with ...
| | Helloween Chameleon CD (1994)
Time Of The Oath music CDs
$11.19 
Along with its predecessor, Pink Bubbles Go Ape, Chameleon marked a period of personal turmoil and professional miscalculations for Helloween. The final recording to feature golden-era vocalist Michael Kiske, this 1996 recording wasn't even released in the U.S. and only served to confuse fans where it was available. While the group intelligently toned down the unexplainable attempts at humor featured on their previous recording, they still were intent on expanding their stylistic and textural boundaries. This just wasn't ...

| | Deep Purple Who Do We Think We Are? CD (1973) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Time Of The Oath CD music
$10.45
After establishing itself as a hard-rock giant, thanks to endless touring and the release of such milestone records as MACHINE HEAD and IN ROCK, Deep Purple was in a state of turmoil when it went into the studio to record 1972's WHO DO WE THINK WE ARE? Despite all the infighting, the band pulled together long enough to record seven tracks that only bolstered the band's reputation.
The best-known song, "Woman From Tokyo," boasted a riff as memorable as the one that defined "Smoke on the Water" and was later admitted by Ritchie Blackmore to have been cribbed from Eric Clapton's "Cat Squirrel." Although Blackmore's always-impressive riffing stands out on such songs as "Mary Long" and "Place in Line," this album also spotlights how far Jon Lord's contributions on organ went toward defining the band's sound. Lord's mastery was such that in addition to the impressive solos on "Place in Line," his sweeping runs are the highlight of the stop-and-go "Rat Bat Blue." On this roller coaster ride of an album, the members of Deep Purple come together best on "Our Lady," a five-minute-plus epic driven by Lord's churning organ and Ian Gillan's Wagnerian vocals.
Deep Purple had kicked off the '70s with a new lineup ...

| | Nightwish Century Child CD (2002) (Import) Import; Argentina
Time Of The Oath songs
$18.39
2002 album from the female fronted Finnish symphonic goth/metal super group. Tracks include, 'Bless The Child', 'End Of All Hope' & 'Dead To The World'.
Possibly the biggest success story in the history of Finnish heavy metal, Nightwish celebrated their second chart-topping album in their homeland with 2002's Century Child, which eventually collected numerous awards and went double platinum (60,000 units in Finland) within a year of release. The group's fourth LP overall, Century Child wisely repeated its predecessors' winning characteristics: symphony-enhanced power metal laced with accessible pop sensibilities (mostly straightforward song structures and romantic lyrics), distinguished by the operatic voice of classically trained singer Tarja Turunen. Undoubtedly the key to Nightwish's remarkable success (and since, hugely influential on countless followers like After Forever and Epica), Turunen is actually ...

| | Forever And More: The Best Of Michael Schenker CD (2003) Import
Time Of The Oath CD music
$23.45
This collection of the best of hard rock guitarist Michael Schenker has 24 tracks, including songs from his time with the bands UFO and the Scorpions, as well as his solo output.
It's only fitting that a "best-of" set would be assembled for the solo work of German metal guitarist Michael Schenker. After all, he was an integral part of one of the genre's all-time best live sets, UFO's 1979 classic, Strangers in the Night. By now, Schenker's solo career has yielded more releases than his tenure with UFO, and the 2003 24-track comp Forever and More: The Best of Michael ...

| | Merle Haggard The Seashores of Old Mexico CD (1987)
Time Of The Oath CD music
$5.95
In 1983, Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson scored a major country hit with their duet album PANCHO AND LEFTY. The success of the record, which yielded two Top Ten hits, assured that the two old friends would again record together. 1987's SEASHORES OF OLD MEXICO is that belated follow-up album.
Unlike its slickly produced predecessor, SEASHORES OF OLD MEXICO has a homey, subdued feel. By using Haggard's stage band and recording the album at Nelson's home studio, co-producers Haggard and Nelson created a disc that stands in welcome contrast to the ...
