Florida death metal gods Obituary breathed new life (no pun intended) into the genre when they broke onto the scene in 1989 with their groundbreaking debut, Slowly We Rot. Donald Tardy's breakneck technical drumming and John Tardy's guttural, slithering vocals combined with brutally fast guitars for a sound not quite ever equaled in the death metal world before or since. The Complete Roadrunner Collection 1989-2005 gathers together Obituary's first six studio albums, including their stellar debut, 1992's landmark The End Complete, 1997's Back from the Dead, and more.

WORLD UNDER BLOOD was formed in September of 2006 when CKY guitarist Deron Miller and acclaimed drummer Tim Yeung encountered each other at the Rainbow Room in Hollywood. "We found out that we had been fans of each other for years and decided, after too many drinks, to form a melodic death metal band", says Miller. "I remember saying let's not just talk about it… let's really do it, and right then and there he was in". The two began rehearsals at AMP studios in Studio City, and quickly came up with the 3 songs that would ultimately wind up on the 2006 demo. "The songs came so fast…it didn’t matter that some of the parts had weird time changes, or difficult arrangements. Tim was so easy to work with and understood immediately what I was trying to do. I was blown away."
Consortium made the UK Top 30 in early 1969 with ‘All The Love In The World’ and over the next few years the band changed labels and recorded some very collectable singles maintaining the high vocal harmonies that first brought the band to the public’s attention. The album ‘Rebirth’ was recorded in 1975 shortly before the band broke up and until now has never been released. Mastered with informative 20 page CD booklet written by Keith Smith, Editor, to Miles From Heaven. The album is classic 70s pop/progressive music.
"In 2016, 21 years after Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O. were founded in Osaka, Japan, there was a major shift in the line-up and "Next Generation" was added to the bands name. We now view the first 20 years of the bands career as chapter one in our story, and we are now turning the page to start chapter two. In 2018, it's time to re-record our classics with this new line-up, we just opened the door to the next stage!” (Kawabata Makoto 2018)
