| | Dark Side CD
Revolver magazine assembles another of its fine, taste-making compilations with THE DARK SIDE, a collection of heavy-metal gems that celebrate the gloomy, the creepy, and the sordid sides of life. Revolver brings together a range of styles, reaching back to the Misfits' "Die, Die My Darling" and "The Great Satan" by industrial mavens Ministry. But there are plenty of cutting-edge contemporary acts too, including Italy's gloomily metal stars Lacuna Coil and post-hardcore outfit From First to Last. Atmospheric, brooding, and mercilessly heavy, THE DARK SIDE is a first-rate sampler that should please many stripes of metalhead.

| | Green Day Warning: CD (2000)
Dark Side
$9.79
This limited edition of WARNING contains a 64-page booklet. It is packaged in a digipack in a green plastic bag.
To debate whether or not Green Day truly was or is a punk band in the purest definition of the punk ethic now seems irrelevant. If nothing else, they're a pop band who can't seem to help but write good songs--in the case of WARNING, some really good songs. This album makes up for any missteps the band may have taken since the fluke success of DOOKIE.
From the Katrina And The Waves groove of "Castaway" to the Beatles-esque harmonica on "Hold On," WARNING inspires a sense of musical deja vu that never crosses the line into out-and-out thievery. Hands-down, the most interesting track here is "Misery," which struts along with Doors-like quirkiness and goes through a progression of cultural movements that take instrumental turns in ...
| | Diamanda Galas Plague Mass (1984 End Of The Epidemic) CD (1991)
Dark Side
$10.69 
Diamanda Galas, who has been known for both her own work and as a singer of extremely demanding modern scores, created this heart-wrenching cry about the physical suffering caused by the AIDS plague being compounded by the shameful arrogance of self-appointed moralists. Maintaining an incredible intensity and depth for over an hour's solo vocal (recorded live at The Cathedral of St. John the Divine, NYC, with suitably minimal band and electronics backup), Galas proceeds through Mahalia Jackson-influenced spiritual singing, saxophone-like wails, to dramatic dialogues in many dialects and languages ("there are no more tickets to the funeral") to engrossing Portuguese fado singing to taking on the attributes of Satan (in "Sono L'Antichristo," "I Am the Anti-Christ") in order to challenge the concept of a vengeful, instead of compassionate deity (and society), much as ...
| | Good Charlotte Young And The Hopeless CD (2002) DualDisc
Dark Side
$15.89 
This is a DualDisc, which contains a CD on one side of the disc and a DVD on the other.
For its second outing THE YOUNG AND THE HOPELESS, Good Charlotte gives any notion of a sophomore jinx a combative boot to the side of the head thanks to an abundance of chanting choruses and choppy guitar riffs. Like standard-bearers Blink-182, this Maryland quartet frolics in a land of teen angst peppered with snarky optimism that comes across best within the margins of the rebellious "Anthem," rambunctious "Riot Girl" (no doubt a cousin of the Dead Milkmen's "Punk Rock Girl"), and Green Day-flavored title cut. Balancing out rambunctious fare ...
| | Belphegor Pestapokalypse VI CD (2006)
Dark Side
$12.29 
Along with raging against the Catholic Church and promoting the apocalypse in the name of their ol' buddy Satan, Austria's Belphegor have always prided themselves on delivering the most brutal, lightning-fast combination of death and black metal imaginable -- over and over again, album after album. 2006's Pestapokalypse VI is yet another example of this enterprise; opening with a track that's helpfully entitled "Belphegor -- Hell's Ambassador," before unleashing a veritable deluge of similarly frenzied sonic typhoons. These invariably contain eye-popping displays of high-velocity musicianship set to suspiciously machine-like percussion, and, at their best (check out the standout pair ...

The birth of death metal towards the close of the 1980s hit the extreme metal scene (heretofore essentially defined by thrash) like an atom bomb, and the release of Sepultura's transitional thrash/death masterpiece, Schizophrenia, and its increasingly 'deathly' 1989 follow-up, Beneath the Remains, in particular, effectively codified the new genre's ultimate template for hundreds of bands across the globe to pursue over the next few years. ...
