Famously sampled by Jay-Z on Big Pimpin for one of his 60s tracks, Hafez is captured here live with his full orchestra including Omar Khorshid on guitar. The album mixes traditional Arabic…
Long out of print, it was about time that Abigor’s Leytmotif Luzifer, found its way back to wax. Originally released in 2014, Leytmotif Luzifer saw Abigor going back to a two-piece line-up, consisting of founding members T.T. and P.K., yet the album was recorded with long-time collaborator Silenius, while Protector also did some backing vocals. Almost as if the original Austrian…

AllMusic stated that Aborted had grown into the role of key contributors to the brutal death metal genre and described the band s style as unrestrained grindcore savagery and meticulously crafted death metal technicality . Aborted recently released their 11th album Maniacult in September 2021 on Century Media Sony. After reaching ridiculously high prices online, Aborted Classic…
ABSENT IN BODY make their Relapse Records debut with the terrifying new album Plague God. Featuring current and former members of AMENRA, NEUROSIS, and SEPULTURA, Plague God is bound by the same ideals of unity and fearlessly uncompromising honesty of expression that have driven their respective bands to imperious heights of reverence and groundbreaking sonic deliverance. Plague God is by turns devastating and…
Despite longtime AC DC fans immediate acceptance of replacement singer Brian Johnson (resulting in one of rock s all-time best sellers, 1980 s Back in Black), there was still demand for Bon Scott-era unreleased tracks. Several of their early albums in Australia and Europe (such as T.N.T.) were later combined together for their first U.S. release, 1976 s High Voltage,…
Rock rarely gets better than AC DC s Back in Black, and rock has rarely sounded better than it does on this all-analog pressing mastered from the original mix-down two-track master tapes by George Marino. Back in Black was, and still is, a marvel of rock and roll synchronicity: a dynamic new singer; the finest fire…
Though their music is based in the limitless rock n roll aesthetics of simple, stripped-down guitar riffs and power chords, AC DC is unquestionably one of the biggest bands on the planet. Weathering several personnel changes, including the loss of one of the all-time great front men, Bon Scott, brothers Angus and Malcolm Young have forged quite…
Originally released in 1975, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap did not hit the U.S. until 1981, when AC DC became rock icons the previous year and fans were growing hungry for more material featuring the band s late singer, Bon Scott. The record was worth the wait. The title track became a concert staple for the band, but Dirty Deeds…
Lesser bands might have been put off their stride by the death of their lead singer, but not AC DC. No sooner had Bon Scott met his whiskey-sodden end in 1980 than AC DC recruited a new singer, Brian Johnson–who sounded almost exactly like Scott–and released, in Back in Black, the biggest-selling album of their career. For Those About to…
AC DC s debut album, High Voltage, is a stripped-down collection of loud, raw, rude rockers, mostly odes to rock & roll and its attendant hard-partying lifestyle — to paraphrase the leadoff track, It s a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock n Roll), getting drunk, stoned, beat up, and laid. The band…
Power Up is the long awaited new album from AC DC, and the band s seventeenth studio effort overall. For Power Up, the band reunited with producer Brendan O Brien who helmed the double-platinum Black Ice in 2008 and the gold Rock Or Bust in 2014. Charged up for the next decade, AC DC cut twelve new tracks for the album, proudly maintaining their signature sound…
2014 Vinyl Reissue from Sony Legacy Though their music is based in the limitless rock n roll aesthetics of simple, stripped-down guitar riffs and power chords, AC DC is unquestionably one of the biggest bands on the planet.
