Limited edition of CD contianed bonus track "Trilogy Of The Damned" and an extended booklet.
Sweden's Evergrey figure among a rare breed of progressive metal bands capable of balancing their undeniably impressive musicianship and lofty song and lyric-writing ambitions with the commitment to serving a song's best interest, not their own individual instrumental prowess. More unique yet is their heavy reliance on power metal -- often the most predictable and repetitive of metal subgenres -- for much of their sonic imprint, as they effortlessly integrate its best elements into their inventive compositions. Arguably their most consistent and rewarding to date, the group's stellar fourth album Recreation Day fleshes out what few forced experiments had tarnished earlier works into a strong and cohesive set from start to finish. Singer/guitarist Tom Englund wisely eschews the operatic excesses employed by many of his peers, both in the progressive and power metal fields; yet his range is quite impressive, ranging from delicately emotive melodies (particularly on the beautiful "Madness Caught Another Victim") to spitting fury bordering on death metal-style shouting (see moments in "The Great Deceiver"). Along with fellow guitarist Henrik Danhage, his frequently beautiful solos often become the lasting centerpieces of album highlights such as "As I Lie Here Bleeding," "Visions," and the title track. Keyboards and synthesizers are also an ever-present ingredient of the band's sound, but never overwhelm the songs (see the excellent "Your Darkest Hour" for a perfect example), which retain a crushingly focused, heavy metal sheen at all times. Recreation Day is another strong outing from a reliable force in Scandinavian metal. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia Recreation Day Music Review Purchase Recreation Day CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Evergrey In Search Of Truth CD (2001)

The truth is out there. Evergrey's new album does have strong X-Files leanings. In fact, it is a concept album that deals with alien abduction. Rather than addressing the subject in a cheesy sort of universal mode, though, it is the story of one man's struggle to understand what is happening to him. The lyrics, and the strong delivery by vocalist Tom S. Englund, convey the confusion, fear, and sense ...
| | Dream Theater Train Of Thought CD (2003)
Recreation Day CD music
$11.05 
TRAIN OF THOUGHT continues the legacy of the progressive metal legends, with all the requisite superhuman metallic musicianship that their fans have come to expect. This outing continues in the heavier mode that began with 2002's SIX DEGREES OF INNER TURBULENCE, reaching even further into darker, personal lyrical themes.
Guitars are the dominant expressive voice here, with keyboards scaled considerably back from the signature Dream Theater sound. Band members Mike Portnoy (drums) and John Petrucci (guitar) continue their do-it-yourself production approach, opting for recording venues on their native Long Island (much of the band's album work has taken place in upstate New York at Bear Tracks and Little Bear Studios). "As I Am" and "This Dying Soul" at times borrow generously from Metallica, featuring that band's well-known use of tri-tones, and vocalist James LaBrie even tries his ...

Recreation Day music CDs
$15.79
It was almost inevitable that a follow-up release to 1990's watershed Hammerheart album, dealing with very much the same subject (historical themes and pagan beliefs of the Viking peoples), was fated to prove somewhat disappointing; and despite a valiant effort on the part of Bathory mastermind Seth Quorthon, 1991's Twilight of the Gods has often unfairly languished in the shadows of its noteworthy predecessor. For the record, its tracks were even more epic in length and scope, its subject matter even more tragic and depressing, but perhaps the oppressive weight of it all was simply more than most could bear. Still, when removed from this chronological experiment, there's no denying that Twilight of the Gods is one heck of a heavy metal album. Maybe it could have used a little more of the old-school black metal simplicity of early Bathory, but the band's forward momentum was such at this juncture in their career that a look back, however brief, was simply not in the cards. Starting off with the 14-minute glory of the title opus, the album almost always maintains a steady head of steam with the high-caliber songwriting heard on the likes of "Blood and Iron" and "Under ...

MY HOPE, I AM A SOLDIER IN THE ARMY OF THE LORD, STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF GOD, NJOROGE NGARI (Mukarara Lesles) was born in Kenya.

During the Nairobi Bombing of the U S Embassy tragedy he released a song to console the victims and to condemn the acts of terror. He also condemns tribal clashes in the Rift valley Molo, Laikipia, Ng'arua, and also Bombolulu tragedy where many girls lost their lives. Most of Njoroge Ngari songs have inspired many people, as he has always been concerned about the young generation and what people need to know about politics. However, he is not a politician but he has love for his Country and the whole world. During the tragedy of St Kizito, he released a song, which KBC Radio station played on several occassions after News Jooni Wananchi tushikane Pamoja that even the Former President said was a patriotic song, but politicians later said his music is trbal and political ,eg; KIRUMI KIA BABA in Kikuyu language, meaning( a curse from our Father).This song became very popular because of the situation at that time ,it was when people were fighting for the multy party politics and the change of section (2)A,of the constitution for Kenya to start multiparty politics.

Rumor had it that Atlantic (King's X label at the time) put pressure on the group to produce a "hit" with their sixth album overall, 1996's EAR CANDY. While a hit was never hatched, the album was another inspired effort. The band's vocal harmonies and hard rock riffs are outstanding on such cuts as "The Train," "(Thinking and Wondering) What I'm Gonna Do," "A Box," and "Looking for Love." EAR CANDY turned out to be their final studio album for Atlantic, as they moved on to Metal Blade for TAPE HEAD ...
