Nuclear Blas

In Flames: Clayman (Solid Blue) [Vinyl LP]

Machine Head - fierce, relevant and unstoppable!<br/>Very few bands make it to their 11th album. Even fewer do so with the same fire and fury that defined their early years. <br/>But Machine Head isn't just any band. For over three decades, the personification of determination, Founder/Vocalist/Guitarist Robb Flynn, has led Machine Head on an uncompromising path - one fueled by defiance, reinvention, and a relentless pursuit of evolution.<br/><br/>Now, with 'UNATØNED', they've once again sharpened their sound into its most direct and impactful form to date. Determined to challenge himself, Flynn set strict songwriting parameters for 'UNATØNED,' shorter, more focused songs with a decidedly American feel, unconventional key changes, and shifting structures that break expectations. That self-imposed restraint resulted in a lean, unrelenting album that captures Machine Head at their most potent. The album drips with melancholy melodies, and yet hammers with bludgeoning riffs, soars with anthemic sing-a-longs of love-lost and sadness, to bellowing power and undeniable confidence.<br/><br/>'UNATØNED' is Machine Head proving once again that longevity in metal isn't about comfort - it's about taking risks, standing firm in conviction, and refusing to stagnate. <br/>Eleven albums deep, they remain as fierce, relevant, and unstoppable as ever.

In Flames: A Sense of Purpose + the Mirror's... [2 Vinyl LP]

SEPTICFLESH has a remarkable ability to maintain continuity from album to album, while at the same time building on what has they have created in the past. Lyrical elements incorporated in all of their albums are based on opposites. For example, the ideas of heaven and hell, good and evil, or development and destruction have often served as metaphorical images in SEPTICFLESH's lyrics. Musically, the band also plays on opposites, using the dynamic differences between dissonant vs. melodic and dark vs. light to create a blend of gentle orchestral passages with the heavy wall of sound that produces something very unique in the world of Metal music. With the release of their most recent EP, Amphibians, SEPTICFLESH continues to create a story that is equally as compelling as the music. So, dive in and become immersed in the world of amphibian demigods, the Nommo. Behold the Amphibians!
