Iron Maiden: Rock in Rio [3 Vinyl LP]

Featuring Bruce Dickinson och Clive Burr from Iron Maiden.

Almost five decades ago, the toll of a bell and rolling thunder marked the conception of an ear splittingly monolithic riff. In that moment, Black Sabbath and the sound of Heavy Metal were forged. The band embarked on what Ozzy describes as "the most incredible adventure you could think of", a journey that would go on to define a genre.<br/><br/>The End is a celebration of Black Sabbath's final hometown concert at Birmingham's Genting Arena on 4th February, 2017. <br/><br/>With a hit packed set list including Iron Man, Paranoid, War Pigs and many more, the high production values, visual effects and pyrotechnics wowed fans, as the band delivered the most emotionally charged show in their history.<br/><br/>The End captures a once-in-a-career performance, an essential snapshot of musical history and a fitting farewell to true innovators and original heavy metal icons, Black Sabbath.

XT bildades 1991 av Björn Stigsson (Leviticus) och Sonny Larsson (Motherlode). Bandet debuterade året därpå med det självtitulerade albumet "XT", som var ett melodiskt hårdrocksalbum. 1993 kom uppföljaren "Taxfree". Bandet hade då gått i en tyngre riktning, men utan att göra avkall på de starka melodierna. Låten "The Silent Cry" från "Taxfree" utsågs samma år till årets bästa låt av Aftonbladet. Bandets tredje och vad många länge trodde skulle bli deras sista skiva "Extended Empire" släpptes 1995. Bandet hade nu gått i en ännu tyngre och mer experimentell riktning. Men då grungen tagit över herraväldet i musikvärlden var det svårt för melodiska band att hävda sig. Inte ens i Japan, där bandet tidigare sålt bra slog skivan igenom. I skuggan av detta gjorde XT sin sista spelning på hösten 1995. Dvalan kom sedan att vara i 22 år. Under våren 2017 annonserade bandet sin comeback och i slutet av oktober släpper de sitt nya album "Saved By The Blood". Idag består gruppen förutom Björn och Sonny också av Peter Carlsohn (Jerusalem,), Dan Tibell (Jerusalem) och Mick Nordström (Modest Attraction).

Lenny Wolf of Kingdom Come recorded "Hands Of Time" with several session guitarists and drummers. As well as singing and co-writing all the songs, Wolf also played bass and produced the album.

"A Decade of Destruction" är första samlingen från Five Finger Death Punch. Innehåller dom bästa låtarna samt två nya låtar.

The End formerly released on November 17, 2017 on DVD and Blu-ray, captured the final destination of that adventure - an unforgettable farewell show at the Genting Arena in Black Sabbath's hometown of Birmingham. Filmed February 4, 2017, The End showcases the legendary line-up celebrating their storied career, marking the closure of a monumental chapter in rock history. With a hit packed set list including Iron Man, Paranoid, War Pigs and many more, the high production values, visual effects and pyrotechnics wowed fans, as the band delivered the most emotionally charged show of their lives. <br/><br/>The 4K UHD includes the bonus feature The Angelic Sessions, an in-studio look at the band playing a selection of their favorite songs not played on tour. These intimate live sessions at Angelic Studios were recorded in the days after their final live performance, and mark the band's final studio recordings. The End captures a once-in-a-career performance, an essential snapshot of musical history, and a fitting farewell to true innovators and original heavy metal icons, Black Sabbath.
