By the release of their third album, 1975's Dressed to Kill, Kiss were fast becoming America's top rock concert attraction, yet their record sales up to this point did not reflect their ticket sales. Casablanca label head Neil Bogart decided to take matters into his own hands, and produced the new record along with the band. The result is more vibrant sounding than its predecessor, 1974's sludgefest Hotter Than Hell, and the songs have more of an obvious pop edge to them. The best-known song on the album by far is the party anthem "Rock and Roll All Nite," but it was the track "C'Mon and Love Me" that became a regional hit in the Detroit area, giving the band their first taste of radio success.
Heavier and somewhat less technical than wretched spawn, more focused and catchy. Produced by Eric Rutan of Hate Eternal, who would go on to produce their new record as well.
LOVE.MIGHT.KILL, the German/Italian melodic metal band led by drummer Michael Ehré (FIREWIND, ULI JON ROTH, METALIUM), has set "2 Big 2 Fail" as the title of its second album, due in October via Massacre Records (Europe) and Hydrant Music (Japan). The follow-up to last year's "Brace For Impact" was once again be produced by Ehré and mixed and mastered by Markus Teske at his Bazement Studios
Headless Beast from Ulm are one of those acts that bring here as a first album one hell of an ambitious work on the market and without a label in the background. Starting from the pretty Markus Vesper cover with the band mascot, the headless horseman who really crystal clear and beautiful massive production of Vagelis Maranis (SUICIDAL ANGELS, ARRYAN PATH SAIDIAN, NOCTE OBDUCTA, WINTER'SVERGE) on the well-thought songs were really hard to be worked and created a more than impressive album that is absolutely competitive.
