Cloven Cloven Hoof

Cloven Hoof are inevitably and quite rightly associated with the early days of NWOBHM. In 2024, the band is still active and releases their new studio album Heathen Cross, on which Jag Panzer singer Harry Conklin makes his Cloven Hoof debut.

Get your leathers on and your head banging for this superlative collection of 'New Wave Of British Heavy Metal' anthems. The heavy, heavy sound of 1979 onwards into the 80s was incredibly influential, inspiring the biggest metal bands in the world - to play loud and fast. Heads down, see you in the pit!

World Funeral is the eighth studio album by Swedish black metal band Marduk. It was recorded and mixed at The Abyss between September and November 2002 and was released on March 25 the next year by Regain Records. The track listing of the album is organized as to create a dynamic change of paces and atmospheres, the tracks generally alternating between a fast, slow, fast, etc. pattern. Balancing fast tracks with mid-paced tracks, it was a disappointment for fans expecting another head-to-toe fast album a la Panzer Division Marduk. Many fans suggested the band was going for a more commercial "mainstream" approach while others complimented their attempt to broaden their sound. World Funeral is the first Marduk album to feature Emil Draguntinovic on drums, the last to feature Legion on vocals and B. War on bass, and the last to feature mixing by Peter Tägtgren.

Four discs of key recordings by the most revered Heavy metal of our time. Heavy metal (or simply metal) is a genre of rock music that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, largely in the United Kingdom. With roots in blues rock and psychedelic/acid rock, the bands that created heavy metal developed a thick, massive sound, characterized by highly amplified distortion, extended guitar solos, emphatic beats, and overall loudness. Heavy metal lyrics and performance styles are sometimes associated with aggression and machismo.
