Krokus "Metal Rendez-Vous"

Metal Rendez-vous is the fourth studio album by the Swiss hard rock band Krokus, released in June 1980. It is the first Krokus release to feature vocalist Marc Storace; Chris von Rohr had formerly served as the band's lead vocalist but appears on Metal Rendez-vous as the band's bassist. The track "Heatstrokes" charted number one in the British Heavy Metal Charts, and arguably opened up markets for Krokus in Britain and the United States, along with "Bedside Radio" and "Tokyo Nights". Strangely, the song "Tokyo Nights" features a reggae beat halfway through. The album sold more than 150,000 copies in Switzerland and was certified Triple Platinum.

UK-based company Rock Candy Records reissued the album on CD in 2014.






















Krisiun "Ageless Venomous"

Ageless Venomous is the fourth album by Brazilian death metal band Krisiun. The album cover artwork was done by Joe Petagno, the same artist who created Motörhead's War-Pig logo.

Recording information:


Recorded at Creative Studios (SP-SP Brazil) in March / April 2001.

Kreator "Violent Revolution (Japan Edition)"

Violent Revolution is the tenth studio album by the German thrash metal band Kreator. It was released on September 25, 2001. After almost a decade of musical experimentation with their metal sound (starting with Renewal), with this album the band returned to their 1980s thrash metal style, although it does make use of Gothenburg metal elements. Violent Revolution was also the first Kreator album to feature guitarist Sami Yli-Sirniö.

Violent Revolution is now considered to be the catalyst of the early 2000s thrash metal revival movement.

In 2005, Violent Revolution was ranked number 436 in Rock Hard magazine's book of The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time.
