 (20 Customer Reviews)
Ex-Sepultura member Max Cavalera and his ultra-heavy outfit Soulfly deliver their fifth album: 2005's DARK AGES. Cavalera and company show no signs of mellowing with age, and, even more impressively, bear not the slightest trace of the nu-metal and emo tendencies that seem to dominate the genre. Instead, Soulfly stick to extreme, intense, eardrum-shattering thrash metal full of pummeling bass and drum, throaty, visceral vocals, and guitars that pierce and churn like the world's most dangerous machinery. Everything from its title to its apocalyptic lyrics makes DARK AGES seem brooding and scary, yet the music is meticulously constructed, at times atmospheric, melodic, and even beautiful.
Soulfly: Max Cavalera (vocals, guitar).
Additional personnel: John Gray , Billy Milano.
CMJ (No. 930, p.50) - "...An experimental savvy emerges in DARK AGES' quieter moments..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.104) - 3 stars out of 5 - "DARK AGES fuses juggernaut punk-metal with found sounds....The evocative field recordings are matched by heartfelt songs." Purchase Dark Ages CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Soulfly Prophecy CD (2004)
Dark Ages
 $15.65   
Max Cavalera's fourth outing under the Soulfly banner finds the former Sepultura frontman as fierce as ever. Beginning with the wailing siren riffs of the title track, PROPHECY combines new-world issues with old-world religion. Throughout the album, the dreadlocked Cavalera conjures up images of Zion, using spiritual themes as an intriguing counterpoint to razor-sharp guitar lines and tight rhythms.
As on past Soulfly records, the songs often consist of movements, rather ...
| | Megadeth System Has Failed CD (2004) Enhanced CD
Dark Ages
$11.49
For 2004's THE SYSTEM HAS FAILED, vocalist/guitarist Dave Mustaine reunites Megadeth--original guitarist Chris Poland, along with new members, bassist Jimmie Lee Sloas and drummer Vinnie Colaiuta--for the band's first new studio album in three years. Frontman/songwriter Mustaine has a lot on his mind, as he ruminates on many of the political and social ills troubling the world, and his words are delivered over grooves and riffs reminiscent of mid-period Megadeth (circa COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION). The overall sound is fresh and energetic, and ...
| | Nevermore This Godless Endeavor CD (2005) Enhanced CD
Dark Ages
$12.95
Nevermore's sixth album arrives bearing few surprises -- which, for a band less accomplished or too comfortable in their niche, would generally be seen as a negative attribute. Not here, as Seattle's finest mid-'00s heavy metal outfit (sorry Queensrÿche!) continue to set the bar for purist-leaning metal-heads on this side of the pond. As always, and not to take anything away from their cohorts (particularly drummer extraordinaire Van Williams), the soaring vocals of Warrel Dane and lead guitar heroics of Jeff Loomis act as twin beacons shining out from the band's gloriously metallic bulk. Furthermore, it's arguable if Dane (now almost completely divorced from his once too strident upper registers) has ever sounded quite this aggressive on any of Nevermore's earlier albums (witness his coarse roars on opener "Born ...

Here is the story of how The CD Sound Sleep came into being, the history of the music and the English meaning of the names, musicians, and relaxation.. A Young man came to England, from Peru, to study at university. He was charming, witty and clever and very high energy. So much so, that I realized that he slept for very few hours in 24. I felt very maternal towards him as his parents had died and worried about how he could burn out from lack of sleep. When he left our home I decided to record a little relaxation session to help him sleep. I could not find an address for him, but when I tracked him down - he was working in a sleep laboratory! He loved his Relaxation for Sleep recording! We had discovered a remedy to help people to enjoy a sound sleep and to be happy and relaxed during the day.Having been a psychotherapist/ counselor/poet/healer and so on, for about 30 years, I know that there are millions of people who suffer with sleep problems. They range from very young to elderly and include high flyers like the Peruvian student. So I decided to make a full CD to help them relax and to drift into a deep sleep every night. MUSICIANS - I learned a lot about them whilst seeking music as a backdrop to the words for Sound Sleep. The first musician went missing, after about six months, along with my material. Then I spoke to a friend of mine, whom I first met, when she had been given a poor prognosis with cancer. She proved them all wrong. Today, about 15 years later, she is a wonderful, glowing woman and a brilliant musician. Her passion is Irish music and I believe that this played a large part in her survival. She gave me a cassette tape of herself playing six great pieces of music. They are called ‘Slow Airs’. I decided to have them specially arranged for Sound Sleep, whilst keeping them authentic.The search for a musician, eventually took me to County Cork, Ireland. This is a great place for traditional music. I know this because when I was a little girl I lived there for six years. My time there, in 2005, would make a great film. The characters I met, the food, the scenery and the place was full of music. However, I returned home with only a promise of six tunes, which never materialized. Eventually, the music was undertaken by Rob Lewis, a musician in England. He is a wonderful musician who plays flute, piano, guitar and keyboards. He has created a rich and beautiful blend of ancient airs in new arrangements.The music with the relaxation sessions was composed by Darren Scott of Warwick.THE SONGS themselves have interesting history. The first one is well known in folk clubs and is often called ‘Sheebag, Sheemore’. It is a story about fairies, but most people are more enchanted with the tune. The history of the music is that it was probably, composed by the famous blind harper, Turlough O’Carolan (1670-1738) and is thought to be his first compositionTHE COULIN (An Chuilfhoinn) is one of the best known and popular airs. It dates back to the reign of King Henry VIII of England. In the year 1447, an act of law was passed regarding the habits and dress of the Irish. By this law all persons were restrained from their hair being shorn, or shaven above the ears, and from wearing ‘glibbes’ or ‘coulins’ (long locks) on their heads, or hair on their upper lip, called crommeal. Unable to protest, the Bard chose to write a beautiful, romantic song, in which an Irish virgin is made to choose a partner who complied with the new legislation, in preference to her dear Coulin or youth with flowing locks. ROISIN DUBH, meaning "Dark Little Rose", was written in the 16th century. Written ...
