Voivod ' Katorz
The fourteenth album by the immensely influential Canadian prog metal band Voivod! Released back in 2005, after the tragic death of the guitarist, and one of the band's founding members, Piggy, the album was for the most part composed around Piggy's guitar parts, which he managed to record before his passing. The album, finished by the remaining trio of Snake, Away, and Jason "Jasonic" Newstead (ex-Metallica) and produced by Glen Robinson, constitutes, arguably, Voivod's best sounding release up to that point and features 10 compositions recorded in the unique style the band's fans have come to cherish.
Tracklist:
1. The Getaway
2. Dognation
3. Mr. Clean
4. After All
5. Odds & Frauds
6. Red My Mind
7. Silly Clones
8. No Angel
9. The X-Stream
10. Polaroids
Voivod ' Infini
The fifteenth album by the immensely influential Canadian prog metal band Voivod! Released in 2008, "Infini" is based on demo recordings of the guitarist Piggy, one of the band's founding members, who died of cancer before the recordings of Voivod's previous album "Katorz" (2005) were concluded. The songs feature Piggy's original guitar tracks in their unaltered form, and were finished by the remaining trio of Snake, Away, and Jason Newstead (ex-Metallica). A must-have for all the fans of Voivod's unique style.

Samael ' Solar Soul
A re-issue of an album by the widely acclaimed, dark and unpredictable act from Switzerland. Assaulting the broadly defined metal scene for more than a quarter of a century now, Samael has on more than one occasion proved its wild and innovative nature, winning over the hearts of fans and the esteem of critics alike. Released in 2007, the "Solar Soul" album showed for once more the amazing artistic prowess of Vorph, Xy, Mas, and Makro. A definite must for all Samael fans.

1. Solar Soul
2. Promised Land
3. Slavocracy
4. Western Ground
5. On the Rise
6. Alliance

Sinister ' Aggressive Measures
A re-issue of the fourth studio album by the death metal veterans from the Netherlands! Originally released in 1998, this masterpiece of death metal mayhem still holds up as a prime representative of the genre at its absolute best. Brutally concise and uncompromising, full of the devastating drumming of Aad Kloosterwaard (later, the band's singer), the crushing guitar riffs of Bart van Wallenberg, and crowned with Eric de Windt's massive and furious growl, Sinister's ˶Aggressive Measures" must be seen as nothing less than an absolutely timeless death metal classic.
Tracklist:
1. Upcoming
2. Aggressive Measures
3. Beyond the Superstition
4. Into the Forgotten
5. Enslave the Weak
6. Fake Redemption
7. Chained in Reality
8. Emerged with Hate
9. Blood Follows the Blood
Sinister ' Afterburner
A re-issue of the seventh studio album by the death metal veterans from the Netherlands! An outstanding album marking the reunion of the band, which split up in 2004, their latest album at that point being ˶Savage or Grace" from 2003. Released in 2006, ˶Afterburner" showed the band reborn with an altered line-up, with their drummer Aad Kloosterwaard switching over to vocals, Alex Paul switching from bass to guitar, and introducing a brand new member: Paul Beltman (drums). Recorded at Stage One Studios in Germany with the producer Andy Classen, more diversified musically than ˶Savage or Grace", though just as dark and brutal, and boasting excellent production, the album showed the band once again firmly stand their ground.
Tracklist:
1. The Grey Massacre
2. Altruistic Suicide
3. Men Down
4. Afterburner
5. Presage of the Mindless
6. Into Submission
7. The Riot Crossfire
