Metal: The Definitive Guide

Compiled from exclusive interviews with the band, this definitive rock reference chronicles all the facts surrounding one of the biggest metal bands to ever take the stage: Metallica.

Uriah Heep was one of a handful of important progressive rock bands to emerge from Britain during the 1970s, alongside Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple. Formed in London in 1969, the band debuted in explosive fashion way back in 1970, rapidly following their heavy metal-pioneering first record "Very 'Eavy …Very 'Umble" with a string of classics, including the definitive Heep album "Demons and Wizards" and "The Magician's Birthday", both from 1972, arguably two of the founding documents of the hard rock subgenres known as progressive metal and power metal.

The most successful and influential progressive rock band in the world, Yes will celebrate its prolific tenure at Atlantic Records with a new boxed set that contains all of the albums they recorded with the label. Each one features the remastered sound and bonus tracks that originally appeared in 2003 and 2004, when Rhino's reissued the band's catalog. The collection spans nearly 20 years of music over the course and includes the albums that earned Yes an international following and helped the English group sell more than 30 million albums.

The Eyeliners are an American Rock & Roll band, featuring three lovely sisters from Albuquerque, New Mexico, U.S.A. Their undeniable sex appeal matched with their melodic, high energy pure punk sound, is the perfect blend of old school punk with pop. From their first release "Confidential", a declarative raw punk album, to "Here Comes Trouble", their second release, and finally, "Sealed With A Kiss", a more refined sound, blending a punk sound with a pop sensibility, the progression is clear. The Eyeliners' most mature sound came to the pinnacle in their latest release "No Apologies", produced by Kenny Laguna, producer of such bands as Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Kathleen Hanna and Bikini Kill, and many others. Their sound is not the only strength, as their shows are full of energy and fun, and will make a fan out of anyone that has the opportunity to see them live. The Eyeliners are at the definitive moment in their musical maturity, where their songwriting and sound will blow you away.
