| | Keep Of Kalessin Kolossus CD Keep Of Kalessin Discography of CDs
With 2008's KOLOSSUS, Keep of Kalessin once again invites brave listeners in from the cold for a dark, macabre set of Norwegian black metal. Highlights of this surprisingly dynamic outing include the acoustic-guitar-led "Origin," the thrash-like "Warmonger," and the sinister "Against the Gods," which features jackhammer drumming and demonic vocals.
Keep Of Kalessin are THE masters of epic extreme metal! On their Nuclear Blast debut, the band take their unique and unmistakably progressive sound to a level that goes far beyond their raw, black metal roots. Mainman Obsidian C. is a former live guitarist for the legendary Satyricon and the band once counted drummer Frost and Mayhem frontman Attila Csihar as members. Keep Of Kalessin's underground roots are still very much intact on Kolossus, but their growth far exceeds the strict and sometimes creatively stifling limitations of black metal. Bonus DVD included featuring a 'Making Of' documentary, a live performance from Paris, behind the scenes footage and a Kolossus video teaser.Kerrang (Magazine) (p.49) - "With crisp production that packs a mean punch, the Norwegian mob deliver a bombast that is part black metal, part death metal..."

Purchase Kolossus CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Mindless Self Indulgence Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy CD (1999)
Kolossus
 $10.39  
Principally recorded at The Theater Studio & Mindswerve, New York, New York.
Mindless Self Indulgence's brilliantly named The Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy collects more of the group's outré, hip-hop-tinged industrial thrash. Singer Urine's bizarre falsetto sounds like a sped-up Jello Biafra, especially on tracks like "Boomin'" and "I Hate Jimmy Page." The album's 30 songs -- which sport titles like "Dicks Are for My Friends," "Cocaine and Toupees," "Faggot," and "Royally Fucked" -- are all pretty much slight variations on the group's fast-and-shocking style. Though The Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy doesn't quite deliver on the sleazy humor of its title, Mindless Self Indulgence does provide a quick, sensationalistic fix for fans of groups like Insane Clown Posse or A.C. ~ Heather Phares

| | I Between Two Worlds CD (2006) Bonus Tracks
Kolossus
$12.75 
The supergroup blueprint makes its entree into the world of Norwegian black metal with the release of BETWEEN TWO WORLDS. Simply known as I, members of Enslaved, Sagh, and Olve "Abbath" Eikemo's Immortal join forces to form a powerhouse band that picks up where the now-defunct latter group left off. Chunky, symphonic guitar riffs meld with epic solos and classic bellowing-from-hell vocals to create a sound that could only be described as melodic death metal.

| | Hail Of Bullets ...Of Frost And War CD (2008)
Kolossus
$11.19 
The unsettling weather conditions of the Netherlands could be one reason why it still remains a hotbed of extreme metal. Inspired by a shared affinity for old-school death metal, former members of Thanatos, Gorefest, Houwitser, and Pestilence joined forces to form Hail Of Bullets. Their debut for Metal Blade Records, OF FROST AND WAR, unleashes track after unrelenting track of ...
| | Ihsahn Angl CD (2008)
Kolossus
$14.69
Elegant and brutal, the latest offering from former Emperor vocalist Ihsahn is brilliantly executed, experimental dark metal. Extremely well-structured, ANGL is an album made especially for fans of true musicianship, as Ihsahn incorporates a cool and refreshing ambiance within an overall black soundscape, more evidence that his primary goal here is to create something brand-new. While some passages hark back to Emperor's blistering majesty, others sound as if Ihsahn ...

Kolossus
$13.25
On 2008's HAMMER BATTALION, the veteran death-metal ensemble Unleashed returns with another set of powerful fantasy-themed tracks. Led by singer/bassist Johnny Hedlund, the Swedish group evokes dark Scandinavian folklore with fierce numbers such as "Entering the Hall of the Slain" and "Warriors of Midgard," which showcase the band's ...
| | Amon Amarth Twilight Of The Thunder God CD (2008) With DVD; Digipak
Kolossus
$12.15
This DVD/CD includes a 24 page full color booklet. The CD includes 10 songs. The DVD includes 13 tracks filmed at Summer Breeze 2007.
The modern barbarians of Amon Amarth are dedicated to mining their native Sweden's Viking past for tales of battle glory and eternal feasting that they can build into their colossally melodic death metal. Their seventh album, TWILIGHT OF THE THUNDER GOD, makes plain its mission from the album cover, featuring the Mighty Thor wielding his mystic hammer against a giant dragon. The music itself bludgeons the listener just like that warhammer, with sturdy songs like "Guardians of Asgaard" pounding out a brutal mid-tempo beat, and "Twilight of the Thunder God" spinning a power-metal influenced ...
| | Stories CD (2006) (Import)
Kolossus
$16.15
This might be the recording of a relaxed jam session after the three musicians had come together to work on a Mahotella Queens album, but you'd never know they weren't a regular band from the tightness and unity of the playing. It's an international cast -- accordion from Madagascar, guitar from South Africa, and French percussion -- but they find plenty of common ground. It helps that Gizavo and Mirandon have often played together, and they take some of their familiar tracks, like "Eka Lahy," to use here. But the way the three work together is nothing less than remarkable, especially on the title cut and "International Rumba," where the music seems to glide, and the interplay seems almost too good to be unrehearsed -- although the feel shows its spontaneity. There's a warm glow to the music, from the fact that it's being made for its own sake, without any commercial aspirations. To be fair, it won't set the world on fire, but as a disc to listen to and simply enjoy, it's a treat. ~ Chris Nickson

Kolossus
$12.39
Often heralded as "the king of Zulu guitar," Madala Kunene is one of South Africa's many superb musical treasures. Hailing from the Kwazulu-Natal region, home of the Zulus, Kunene incorporates elements of Zulu culture into his music, including call-and-response passages, and vocal-guitar interplay meant to aid trances and divination. Sometimes solo, and sometimes framed by percussion and additional voices, Kunene's evocative singing rises from his spiraling acoustic ...
| | Ricardo Montaner Un Camino De Exitos CDs (2008) With DVD
Kolossus
$11.89
Venezuelan pop perfomer Ricardo Montaner is well represented by this 2008 two-disc set, which spans much of his prolific career.

| | Hypocrisy Catch 22 CD (2002) Remastered
Kolossus
$14.09
A little less airy than typical Hypocrisy fare, CATCH 22 is an uncomplicated, bitter slab of hostility. Pulling back from his previous extraterrestrial subject matter, band leader Peter Tägtgren has incorporated song structures from his side band, Pain, in addition to some of the melody from more accepted Swedish metal bands such as In Flames and Soilwork. Consequently, CATCH 22 is perhaps the most organic-sounding Hypocrisy album; it is more mosh-friendly, akin to Fear Factory or Slipknot, and it offers no apologies whatsoever.
