Immortal's Nuclear Blast debut, and this Norwegian trio's seventh album to date, Sons of Northern Darkness, marks a monumental statement that reverberates throughout the black metal community. Sons of Northern Darkness is arguably one of the best black metal releases ever put forth, as it fully articulates what many other bands of this nature fail to embrace. Thick, meaty riffs dominate the album, as guitarist Abbath shreds the competition with mind-blowing melody and relentlessly brutal power. Abbath also controls vocal duty, and though his voice is darkly sinister, it holds a slight fringe of harmony that fleshes out each song. Add to that Iscariah's fiendish bass playing underlying Sons of Northern Darkness with an evil authority, while Horge's drumming decimates the competition with jackhammer beats. The fantastical lyrics allow the band to venture into fictitious territory, and each song carries the feeling that you are witnessing a marvelous novel unfold in front of your eyes. Songs like the epic "Tyrants" build to an earth-shattering crescendo of outlandish noise, yet one is never left disappointed. Sons of Northern Darkness is a masterpiece that any fan of black metal should own, yet also has an undeniable flair that even new listeners can find appealing. ~ Jason D. Taylor
Alternative Press (June 2002, p.78) - 8 out of 10 - "...A skull-peeling black-metal blitzkrieg, complete with demonic-Popeye vocals....while there are still balsts galore...they're tempered by grave, riff-driven marches whose slowed tempos pack double the power..."

Great black metal that also includes a dvd. It is a stationary, one camera shoot, but until these legends get a proper dvd release, it will have to tide you over. Get this now.

Sons Of Northern Darkness
 $12.89  
Combining their old sound with a fresh & more progressive sound, Death are stronger than ever. Features the last work of Chuch Schuldiner. Nine tracks, including an amazing cover of Judas Priest's 'Painkiller'. Nuclear Blast.
Death includes: Chuck Schuldiner, Shannon Hamm.
Contains 9 tracks.
Death: Chuck Schuldiner (vocals, guitar); Shannon Hamm (guitar); Scott Clendenin (bass instrument); Richard Christy (drums).
Words cannot do this album enough justice. This is a truly glorious metal release, certainly Death's finest hour, and easily one of the top metal albums of all time. The sheer ferocity and emotion that channels through each of the intricate, progressive guitar melodies shatters every low opinion of the American metal scene. When you combine Chuck Schuldiner's shrieking vocals (his eeriest performance ever) with the most talented, cohesive lineup yet, you get the definitive ...
| | Alice In Chains Dirt CD (1992)
Sons Of Northern Darkness
$6.49 
Live Recording
Alice In Chains: Layne Staley, Jerry Cantrell (vocals, guitar); Michael Starr (bass); Sean Kinney (drums).
Additional personnel: Tom Araya (background vocals).
Recorded in 1992.
Dirt is Alice in Chains' major artistic statement and the closest they ever came to recording a flat-out masterpiece. It's a primal, sickening howl from the depths of Layne Staley's heroin addiction, and one of the most harrowing concept albums ever recorded. Not every song on Dirt is explicitly about heroin, but Jerry Cantrell's solo-written contributions (nearly half the album) effectively maintain the thematic coherence -- nearly every song is imbued with the morbidity, self-disgust, and/or resignation of a self-aware yet powerless addict. Cantrell's technically limited but inventive guitar work is by turns explosive, textured, and queasily disorienting, keeping the listener off balance ...
| | Behemoth Demigod CD (2005) Enhanced CD
Sons Of Northern Darkness
$11.95 
This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
That their albums usually feel like they end too quickly is but one of the superlatives explaining why so few extreme metal bands have been as consistent as Poland's Behemoth over the years (Greece's Rotting Christ and Sweden's Opeth also come to mind). Having laid the groundwork for this consistency with a slew of promising works in the early '90s, Nergal's bloodthirsty trio arguably hit their stride with 2000's Thelema.6, charged inexorably forward with 2002's Zos Kia Cultus, and, in 2004's follow-up, Demigod, they may well have completed what may one day be looked back upon as their defining, unholy trinity of masterful death/black metal. Lending this bold statement weight is the band's readily identifiable style: a brutal assault built on machine-gun playing so technical and precise, yet so instinctively primal, that one's basest and ...
| | Mudvayne Lost And Found CD (2005)
Sons Of Northern Darkness
$8.99
Mudvayne: Chad Gray (vocals); Greg Tribbett (guitar); Ryan Martinie (bass guitar); Matt McDonough (drums).
It's been three years for Mudvayne, three years when metal started to reject its "rap" and "nu" prefixes. At first, Lost and Found reflects that realignment. Vocalist Chad Gray and his mates have nixed the nicknames and makeup for their third Epic full-length, and they try to focus on songs instead of heavy music shtick. However, they equate getting real with the melodramatic plead that interrupts the razor-sharp main part of "Choices," and Gray can't overcome lines like "IMN"'s "No one/No one could ever understand/This life." The song is about suicide, which is very serious. But yelling "F*ck this sh*t!" over thudding rhythms just isn't very powerful anymore. They nail it on opener "Determined" -- one of Mudvayne's all-time strongest tracks, it's a fist-swinging blast of modernized thrash. But Lost and Found soon falls into the familiar, busting no-one-understands-me lyrics and matching moments of refreshing rawness to stretches of stereotypical ...
| | Immortal Damned In Black CD (2000)
Sons Of Northern Darkness
$11.85
Immortal: Abbath, Demonaz.
Recorded in September 1994.
Immortal includes: Abbath (vocals, guitar); Iscariah (bass); Horgh (drums).
Producers include: Peter Tagtgren, Abbath, Horgh.

Audio Mixer: Peter Tägtgren.
Recording information: Abyss Studios, Sweden (10/1999-02/2000).
Battles in the North, Immortal's third razor-caked candy bar, is considered by many to be one of black metal's defining moments. Like its highly regarded, slower, and slightly less-focused predecessor, Pure Holocaust, Battles in the North is a furious, somewhat under-produced, unrelenting assault of blastbeats, demon-reptile vocals, and buzzing guitars assembled for one reason ...

Jack Warner, besides being an educator at Universities in Southern California, has also worked at major movie studios in Hollywood, including Disney Studios, Universal Studios, MGM Studios, 20th Century Fox Studios among many others.Jack Warner, a distant relative of the Warner Bros late mogul Jack L Warner, started making music for his own pleasure in 2006. He wanted to control the music that he listens to in his cars. During the creative process he came up with an innovative new idea. He started very boldly producing his albums with more than one or more mixes. "INSTRUMENTAL I" is a product of this innovation.Being the lover of a lot of music genres such as Hip Hop, Rock, Techno-Tribal and Acoustic as well as Cinematic sound tracks, Jack ended up with "Instrumental I & II" series. To complete the incredible task that has taken him about two years to finish, Jack has encoded all of ...
