& early Metal Church; produced by Alex Perialas (Anthrax,

ATTACKER The Unknown + 3 bonus tracks
(+ free exclusive massive 18" x 24" poster when you buy
direct from us)
11 tracks total
Tremendous traditional US power metal drawing on influences ranging
from Iron Maiden (circa Piece of Mind/Powerslave), Judas Priest
(Defenders/Painkiller) to Accept (Restless/Balls) and Mercyful Fate
(Don't Break...). Comparable to early Metal Church (s/t, The Dark),
Attacker's The Unknown features the band's best production ever, plus
perhaps their most powerful selection of songs. From the storming
Priest-like opener "This Is Power" to the guitar wizardy of "The
Unknown" to the crunching doom power of "Devil's War", Attacker combine
the classy twin lead guitar team of Benetatos and Marinelli, the double
bass drumming of Sabatini, the return of original bass player Ciarlo
and the distinct pipes of singer Mitchell into a potent power metal
force.

AXEHAMMER Windrider CD
(+ free exclusive poster when you buy direct
from us)
The Metal Giant rises once again! Traditional USA power metal at its
best, with absolutely no "modern" influences. Axehammer continues from
where they left off with the now classic 'Lord of the Realm' CD
released back in 1998. 'Windrider' features 10 pure heavy metal tracks,
ranging from speedy scorchers like "Stand Up and Fight" to midpaced
crushers like "The Power". The Axehammer line-up includes
original/definitive members Jerry Watt (guitars), Bill Ramp (vocals)
and Joe Aghassi (drums) plus new bass player Colin Sauers. This album
was recorded by Bill Metoyer (Omen, Helstar, Trouble, Fates Warning,
Tyrant, Intruder) and mixed by Eric Rachel (Gothic Knights, Manilla
Road, Symphony X, Whiplash, Overlorde).

CYPHER SEER Awakening Day
+ free exclusive massive 18" x 24" poster with USA orders
A stunning debut album of crunchy US power metal with great melodies,
amazing guitarwork and passionate vocals. Formerly known as Malakis
Reign (singer James Rivera (Helstar, Destiny's End, Seven Witches), and
bassist Mike LePond (Symphony X) were briefly members, appearing on the
band's first demo), CYPHER SEER's current, definitive line-up includes
past and present members of Gothic Knights, Arctic Flame, Onward,
Crescent Shield and Legend Maker. Crafting exceptional songs, CYPHER
SEER's Awakening Day can best be described as an exciting blend of Iced
Earth's 'Something Wicked...' meets Symphony X's 'Divine Wings...'
Awakening Day was mixed by Fredrik Nordström (Hammerfall, In
Flames, Sinergy, Supreme Majesty, Dark Tranquillity).

GOTHIC
KNIGHTS Kingdom of
the Knights
Limited to
just 666 copies!
Fantastic US traditional power metal with blazing guitarwork and high
range vocals, built on the legacy of such bands (and albums) as
Savatage (Hall of the Mountain King), Judas Priest (Defenders of the
Faith), Riot (Thundersteel), Metal Church (Metal Church) and others.
Includes Judas Priest cover song "The Ripper". This CD has been out of
print for years, but the band
has agreed to one final pressing, which is very limited at 666 copies.
The reason for this being "final"? The band plans to
re-record parts and remix this album with current singer Rick "Warlock"
Sanchez in 2010, so this is the last chance to get Kingdom of the
Knights in
its original form, as originally mixed by Eric Rachel (Symphony X,
Whiplash, Axehammer). A metal classic, nearly 10 years old!

MANILLA
ROAD Mystification + 1
bonus
Out of print no more! Due to demand, this 1987 heavy metal
classic is back in print. Possibly the band's most
powerful release, Manilla Road skillfully combines its mastery of
traditional epic metal with power, speed, thrash and doom metal
influences. Never has the band sounded so heavy (thanks to a new
mix at Trax East Studios (Symphony X, Whiplash, Gothic Knights)) and so
dark (half the album is based on the stories of Poe).

SACRED OATH A Crystal Vision + 4 bonus songs FEW LEFT!
A haunting 80s occult metal feast of old Mercyful Fate mixed with the
galloping riffs of early Iron Maiden and early Iced Earth; includes a
detailed booklet with rare photos, liner notes, and more. The song
selection has been resequenced to bring the original album concept
story back into order, the way the band had originally intended. An
alternate source was used as the album master, from which the
remastering occurred, ensuring the most dynamic sound quality possible.
4 bonus songs were added from the 1998 Sacred Oath recording sessions.

release includes the self-titled debut Sacred Rite album (1984) and
side "B" of the 'Ritual' album (1985, originally a double EP on 1 LP)
plus rare demo recordings (1983), totaling an amazing 13 songs with a
playing time of over 65 minutes. All songs have been digitally
remastered from the original master reels at a major label studio,
causing one Sacred Rite band member to proclaim "I can't believe this
is the same music we recorded back in the 80s! It sounds so much
better!" The hugely memorable music is backed by a astounding 12 page
full color CD booklet packed with 25 photos in chronological order,
extensive liner notes detailing the formation and rise of the band,
complete lyrics and much more. From the music to the packaging, these

A total of 15 heavy metal gems clocking in at 67 minutes even. Once
again there is an astounding 12 page full color CD booklet, this time

promising rise and eventual fall (a story fit for an episode of Behind

STEEL ASSASSIN War of the Eight Saints
+ free exclusive massive 18" x 24" poster for USA buyers
Formed as a cover band in 1980, the group officially became STEEL
ASSASSIN in 1983, appearing on Metal Massacre 6 in 1985. Despite
acclaimed true metal demo tapes and live shows in the early/mid '80s,
the band disbanded in 1985, a brief reunion in 1988 keeping the STEEL
ASSASSIN name alive. The band members continued on in other projects,
with 2005 finally bringing 4 of the 5 original members back together
again, resulting in heavy writing and rehearsal sessions for the War of
the Eight Saints album. New lead singer John Falzone (Triphammer) was
added to the line-up, and Rich Spillberg (Wargasm) handled the
engineering and production duties. The result is a masterpiece nearly
25 years in the making; a devastating new album of US traditional
epic/true power metal at its masterful best. Singer Falzone is a
stunning singer in the explosive Dio/Dickinson/Soto style, and when
coupled with STEEL ASSASSIN's strong musicianship, catchy songs and
intelligent lyrics based on history and mythology, War of the Eight
Saints may be THE traditional power metal album of 2007.
