The unprecedented worldwide success of multinational British-based power metallers DragonForce has cast an unexpected light upon German speed metal trailblazers Helloween. Perhaps the first band to convincingly combine thrash metal intensity with the melody and majestic imagery of the NWOBHM, and by extension the blueprint upon which DragonForce based their "extreme power metal" style, Helloween were a heavy metal institution, but one that had very much fallen by the wayside upon the departure of classic-era singer Michael Kiske and founder/guitarist Kai Hansen in the mid-'90s. Singer Andi Deris has been a permanent fixture ever since, but the band has found stable lineups difficult to come by, and the quality of material has been equally inconsistent. Following 2005's Keeper of The Seven Keys: The Legacy, on which the band attempted to revive the style of their mid-'80s classics, Gambling with the Devil is a little more calculated. The appearance of Saxon mainstay Biff Byford on the intro track "Crack the Riddle" is all too foreboding, however: for all its enthusiasm, Gambling with the Devil is unbending, inelastic, and indulgent heavy metal. Far from offering something new to the genre, Gambling with the Devil's progressive elements act as a smoke screen for a genuine lack of ideas, typified in no small measure by the dull extended interlude wedged in the middle of otherwise wonderful ballad "Fallen to Pieces." Gambling with the Devil may satisfy the diehards, but new entrants would be well advised to stick to the earlier material. ~ Dave DonnellyKerrang (Magazine) (p.48) - "If you've ever wondered where European power metal came from, then look no further....[They are] kings of epic, melodic bombast."

5 stars Another great album
More modern than ever, with a combination of older Helloween sounds that are sure to impress. They show that there is still plenty of fuel left in the tank. Favorites include: The Saints, Final Fortune and the ultimate rock song Dreamcatcher. The greatest power metal band has a little bit of everything for everyone on this album. You will also find a few surprisingly effective ballad like songs that combine some surprisingly melodic parts and as usual impressive solos. Would highly recommend to all Helloween fans or anyone who appreciates power metal.

Critics might accuse New Jersey thrash veterans Overkill of making the same album over and over (similar comments can been made about revered bands such as AC/DC and Dio), but the truth is that that's exactly how metal fans want it. Overkill's legacy of unforgiving, guttural heaviness and warp-speed tempos continues with 2007's IMMORTALIS. The album features ...

Exodus Atrocity Exhibition: Exhibit A CD  (2007)

Gambling With The Devil
CD $13.29  4.9 stars Audio Samples
San Francisco thrash veterans Exodus are old-school enough to count Metallica's Kirk Hammett as a founding member, but 27 years on, they're still banging heads with a ferocity many of their peers can't match. Loaded to bursting with the kind of rapid-fire, aggressive guitar that made the Bay Area ground zero for '80s metal, ATROCITY EXHIBITION cruises along with power and focus. Tracks like "Riot Act" take off on the high-octane blitz of second-generation acts like Anthrax that Exodus gave birth to, and moodier, mammoth numbers like the title track feature both speed and power in equal measures. Thrash purists who lament the death of the real thing will rejoice in this still-furious act's new vigor.
With the untimely passing of founding vocalist Paul Baloff in 2002, and the subsequent, short-lived reunion with his original successor, Steve Zetro Souza, for 2004's acclaimed comeback LP, Tempo of the Damned, ...

Given the way Gamma Ray have remained stubbornly committed to '70s/'80s-style power metal, one would think that all of the people attending their concerts in the 21st century would be people over 40. But in fact, Gamma Ray acquired a lot of new fans in the '90s and 2000s -- people in the Gen-X and Gen-Y/Echo Boomer demographics -- and those post-'80s converts have really connected with ...

Personnel: Chuck Billy (vocals); Eric Peterson (guitar); Greg Christian (bass guitar); Paul Bostaph (drums, cymbals).
Nine long years since their last studio album of new material (1999's THE GATHERING), Testament returned with a brutally melodic set fittingly titled THE FORMATION OF DAMNATION. Vocalist Chuck Billy's winning battle with cancer inspired most of the group's original lineup to reconvene, with the exception of the ever-changing drum throne occupied here by former Forbidden/Slayer member Paul Bostaph. Lyrically, the Bay Area thrash legends are well-known for tackling social and political fare. For DAMNATION, principal co-writers Billy and guitarist Eric Peterson deliver commentaries ...

CD $22.79  Top 500
born in brooklyn, new york and raised in chicago, illinois, robert lamm's early musical influences were ray charles, the beatles, marvin gaye, burt bachrach. later on, it was thelonius monk, antonio carlos jobim, and mose alison. musically and philosophically, all shaped his musical objectives.robert was an art major in high school, studying drawing and painting, but changed direction, enrolling at the music school at roosevelt university in chicago. it was here that the classical composers made an impression on him. although piano was his instrument, composition was his focus.as a founding member of the legendary rock with horns band chicago, robert has lived the changes that have occurred in the band and the world of music. this rock band, which began as an experiment in 1967, has alternately broken new musical ground, set trends, fallen into critics’ disfavor, considered disbanding, rebounded and continued to be successful, and found a permanent and influential place in the mainstream of pop/rock. robert’s presence and participation has had much impact.however, he has not been altogether comfortable with the musical directions the band has chosen to make survive. rock is a vicious game. as a result he has also had an active solo career with six well-received albums: "skinny boy" (columbia records 1974, 2.0 blue infinity 2006) "life is good in my neighborhood"(wb 1992, 2.0 blue infinity 2006), "in my head" (mystic 1999)“subtlety&passion” (blue infinity 2003)“too many voices” (blue infinity 2004)“leap of faith” (elements music 2005)as if that weren't ...
