| | Trivium Shogun CD Trivium Discography of CDs
Orlando's Trivium has returned with another platter of energetic heavy-metal anthems under the title SHOGUN. Produced by Nick Raskulinecz (Velvet Revolver, Foo Fighters, Shadows Fall), Trivium's fourth studio release is 11 tracks of teeth-grinding, metallic fury. Packing each song with epic riffs, impassioned vocals, and inspiration from every walk of metal, SHOGUN is an auditory feast. The blistering anthem "Into the Mouth of Hell We March" is also featured in the videogame MADDEN NFL 09.
Japanese pressing of their 2008 album includes one bonus track: 'Iron Maiden'. On Shogun, the band chose not to record in the familiar environs of their home state of Florida. Instead the band headed to Nashville, Tennessee to work with producer Nick Raskulinecz (Rush, Foo Fighters, Stone Sour). The result is a monolithic album that crystallizes the band's sound and showcases Trivium's finest elements. Even Slayer's Kerry King, an undisputed Heavy Metal god, expressed excitement about touring with the band this fall on the Unholy Alliance: Chapter 3 European tour. He commented to the UK's Total Guitar magazine, "I'll be at the side of the stage watching them. Great players like that make us want to do better." Looks like the metal community is waiting with baited breath for Shogun. Roadrunner.

Recording information: The Sound Kitchen, Franklin, TN.Kerrang (Magazine) (p.46) - "In the course of a meaty, action-filled 66 minutes, Trivium have delivered a credible claim for longevity, one that proves their talent and justifies their ambition. More importantly, they may have finally found their true sound."
Record Collector (magazine) (p.102) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "While SHOGUN is their heaviest album yet, with death metal roars and riffs delivered on seven-string guitars, it's also their most hooky."

Purchase Shogun CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Slayer World Painted Blood CD (2009)
Shogun album
 $10.39   
Of the "big four" original thrash bands (the other three being Metallica, Anthrax, and Megadeth), Slayer was the least compromising and most consistent. As such, 2009's WORLD PAINTED BLOOD recalled more than the title of Slayer's 1986 masterpiece REIGN IN BLOOD; it shared the earlier album's ferocious aggression and trademark speed metal-meets-hardcore ...
| | Katatonia Night Is The New Day CD (2009)
Shogun CD music
$14.04  
The latest album from Swedish doom rockers Katatonia, their first studio effort since 2006, is as moody and beautiful as their other latter-day work. The group's career can be marked in two stages based on the condition of singer Jonas Renske's vocal cords -- basically, after the band's first two albums, he developed health problems that prevented him from performing harsh death growls, and ever since the band has moved in an increasingly melodic direction, even covering songs by Will Oldham and Jeff Buckley. It's unsurprising to learn that Opeth's Mikael Åkerfeldt helped out by performing the harsh vocals on Katatonia's Brave Murder Day album and Sounds of Decay EP in 1996 and ...
| | Epica Design Your Universe CD (2009)
Shogun music CDs
$13.15
Dutch pomp-metal band Epica, fronted by classically trained mezzo-soprano Simone Simons, released their second album for Nuclear Blast only a year after their label debut, the more unique The Classical Conspiracy. That two-disc live set found them performing a mix of classical works and their own songs with backing by a full orchestra and choir. This album offers more of their bombastic goth metal songs, with Simons' vocals floating atop an ever flowing stream of complicated drumming, epic riffs, and shredtastic solos. The use of orchestral instruments to add John Williams-like climaxes is intermittently successful, but the music is just as frequently stripped down to an unaccompanied piano or to just the rock band, and that ...
| | Breaking Benjamin Saturate CD (2002)
Shogun songs
$10.45 
It's a testament to the conviction of Breaking Benjamin that two of its members quit another band already signed to a major label to join what was, commercially, much less of a sure thing. SATURATE's success proved them right, though. A melting pot of post-grunge riffs, nu-metal power, and classic rock accessibility, Breaking Benjamin offers something for hard rock fans of all stripes. Melodic choruses and signature riffs ...
| | Heavy Metal CD (1981) Original Soundtrack
Shogun album
$6.09
The title Heavy Metal is somewhat misleading. Sure, this terrific soundtrack from the 1981 animated cult favorite features heavy metal and hard rock numbers. But the title refers to National Lampoon's sci-fi/fantasy magazine on which the film is based. Musically, Heavy Metal offers more than the title suggests, and the songs fit perfectly with their respective film segments. Heavy Metal was originally a double album, but at 62 minutes it fits just fine on one CD. Sixteen songs are contributed by Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, Cheap Trick, Devo, Donald Fagen, Don Felder, Grand Funk Railroad, Sammy Hagar, Journey, Nazareth, Stevie Nicks, Riggs, and Trust; Cheap Trick, Felder, and Riggs each provide two. Most songs are exclusive to this soundtrack. The best-known song here is Journey's ballad "Open Arms." Blue Oyster Cult's darkly menacing "Veteran of the Psychic Wars" is a haunting gem. Devo's quirky, new wave interpretation of the Allen Toussaint-penned "Working in the Coal Mine" was a minor hit. Black Sabbath's blistering "The Mob Rules" is a fine example of the underrated Ronnie James Dio era. Felder's "Heavy Metal (Takin' a Ride)" and "All of You" are well-crafted, and they ...

| | Death Set Rad Warehouses To Bad Neighborhoods CD (2007)
Shogun music CDs
$14.29
In and out in just under 16 minutes -- and nearly a third of that is devoted to a pair of extended remixes of two of the album's strongest songs -- Rad Warehouses Bad Neighborhoods is minimalist, punky new wave revivalism cut to the bone. Like Suicide with slightly better equipment and a more sure sense of pitch, or the Go! Team in a much crankier mood, this Australian duo are all about the creation of unnerving atmospheres: even the most pop-oriented tunes here, like the perky cheer leading chant "Distressed by Late Night Television," have an unsettling, needly edge. Some of the 12 songs aren't even long enough to do much more than that, but a couple of listens reveal some clever, catchy hooks half-buried amid the buzzing synths, hectoring vocals and malfunctioning rhythm boxes. Perhaps not for the faint of heart, there's a smart sense of structure underpinning these songs that at first seems almost random and improvised. ~ Stewart Mason

| | Masayuki Koga Eastern Encounter CD (2005)
Shogun songs
$17.09
EASTERN ENCOUNTER was produced from a live performance at Chikushin Sound Studio, an acoustic recording environment in Navarro, California.The improvisational exploration captured on this CD brings to the listener the sensitivity and power of two master musicians, Rahul Sariputra, sitar, and Masayuki Koga, shakuhachi. Both the sitar of India, and the shakuhachi of Japan are traditional instruments, and both are taught in the manner of oral tradition. If the essence of each tradition is deep enough, there should be communication and common content upon which to meet and to play together. That shared belief provided a simple motivation and stimulating challenge: to get together and experience a new zone of music, while keeping the essence of old traditions."The CD resulting from this session, Eastern Encounter, not only clarifies the vague concepts of oral tradition, but also we opened a gate of combination for two diverse cultures -- refreshingly, we hope. "The first piece is Mt. Fuji (19:13), and the second is Spirit of the Ganges (18:32). Both are non-cut and a slight adjustment is provided to get the closest true sound of that studio.Flower Inside Music; by Masayuki KogaPlaying notes(music)is exactly throwing a beautiful flower into the sky; each note is a each beautiful flower. Life of flower may be short, but it does not matter short or long, the fact of existence of beauty is the most important than any other facts at the moment we are dealing with music.In the moment and after the moments we fly up and beautify-up, it is the exact opening action of mind. Then the deep beauty of our music filled with is really flower ? or person ? or ... yes it is freedom of whatever we want to do, we want to imagine, and visualize as long as we don't hurt any body, any situation, it is more than OK. Are there any differences between Indian flower and Japanese flower? Yes, the appearance may be very different, but how about the beauty itself? One is better than the other? Or one is superior than the other? Maybe preference is vary from one person to another, but the beauty is beauty. The feeling toward its attractiveness is the same. We respect ...
