Dismal Euphony "All Little Devils (Germany, Nuclear Blast, NB 340-2)"

Dismal Euphony was a Norwegian Dark Metal band that mixed styles including gothic metal, black metal, death metal, melodic metal, and classical music.

The history of Dismal Euphony began in 1992 in Stavanger, Norway by bassist Ole K. Helgesen and drummer Kristoffer Vold Austrheim under the name The Headless Children, a cover band of Slayer and Kreator. A year later, singer Erik Borgen and guitarist Kenneth Bergsagel joined the group.

They changed the name to Carnal Tomb, then Borgen left the band and Helgesen became the singer/bassist with the female voice of Linn Achre Tveit (Keltziva). Elin Overskott joined the band as a keyboard player.

All Little Devils is the third studio album by the Norwegian gothic metal band Dismal Euphony. It was released in 1999, and was the band's first album with Nuclear Blast.

Dio "Angry Machines (Japan, Mercury Records, PHCR-1467)"

Angry Machines is the seventh studio album by American heavy metal band Dio, released on October 4, 1996, through Mercury Records in Japan, and on October 15, 1996, through Mayhem Records in the U.S. It was the last studio album to feature original drummer Vinny Appice, and guitarist Tracy Grijalva. The album was not commercially successful and vastly underperformed compared to earlier Dio albums.

In 2019, Angry Machines was remastered and announced for reissue in 2020. While the first disc is identical to the original North American and European releases, the second disc contains live tracks recorded on various dates of the Angry Machines tour. The track "God Hates Heavy Metal," exclusive to Japanese pressings of the album, was not included in the reissue. However, this song was released as a standalone 12 inch single for Record Store Day in 2021, featuring "This is Your Life" and a live version of "Hunter of the Heart" as B sides.
