Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

Sixteen years after the release of their second album, French Power Metal band Nightmare, released their third album, Cosmovision,
The songs aren't very long, but with 12 (maybe 11) tracks, you get your money's worth. This isn't prog-like metal. This is fantasy-ish. What I'm trying to say by that is that the album is a story about some lines with ancient South American cultures. Its very interesting to read what they printed in the lyric booklet.
There isn't a keyboardist, but trust me - you will be taken to another dimension if you listen to this beast of an album at night, especially the title track. The vocalist is awesome and has a SOMEWHAT scratchy voice, but the choirs make you forget about him every once and a while. There is 1 verse sung with a female vocalist. The guitar riffs are very well done. Speed? Average, for the most part. One song is quite fast. The drums are VERY much like on Manowar's "Warriors of the World" (the whole album), AND so is the overall tempo. The fastest song is near the end and there aren't any really fast songs until then.

Salem Mass - Witch Burning (1971) [Remastered]

Artist : Salem Mass
Country : USA
Release : Witch Burning [Remastered]
Year : 1971
Genre : Rock
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

This is a pretty good, forgotten (assuming people knew about them in the first place) early hard rock group, with a heavy emphasis on keyboards, and a lead singer with a piercing scream. The musicianship is better than average, and the song-writing is solid. Aside from the demonic title track and one or two other numbers, the album is relatively soft and melodic. Fans of Uriah Heep, Deep Purple, Spooky Tooth, and the Crazy World of Arthur Brown would probably like this. This is no great lost hard rock classic, but fans of the genre and historians might want to check it out.

Saliva - Cinco Diablo (2008)

Artist : Saliva
Country : USA
Release : Cinco Diablo
Year : 2008
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

Saliva was one of the bands that raised the nu-metal trend and put it on its feet. Every Six Seconds was a great album that featured songs with Limp Bizkit style rapping, while also trying to feature an alternative sound. Back Into Your System went further into that, while also containing their takes on sounds of bands such as Nickelback and Lynyrd Skynyrd, and is also my favorite of the first four albums. Survival of the Sickest had more of a classic rock flair than Back Into Your System, and is their most aggressive recording to date, but as good as this album is, it's certainly nothing like BITS. Blood Stained Love Story achieved more of a radio-friendly pop sound to it, with some aggression included.

The Cult - Rare Cult (2002)

Artist : The Cult
Country : UK
Release : Rare Cult: The Demo Sessions
Year : 2002
Genre : Hard Rock
File Type : mp3 320

Info:

Five more reels that were found by guitar-guru-soulman Billy Duffy after the main Box Set was released are found here. There are 77 tracks from '86 to '91 that are basic, rudimentary outlines of some killer songs. What I love about this set is it's a deeper look into the awesome duo of Astbury/Duffy. The first set is a collection of songs done around the time of the Manor sessions, before the Cult teamed up with Rick Rubin. The Second Set was recorded during the Sonic Temple period while the Third Set consists of Ceremony tunes in the making. All these songs are found elsewhere in The Cult universe, but these tracks have a voice of their own. Any Cult fan who wants a microscopic view of The Cult during these energetic, spiritual and chaotic times in a classic Rock n Roll band, will truly appreciate this.
