Pure White And Deadly

Paula Cole’s tenth album, Revolution, fulfills the promise of her 1994 debut. Titled Harbinger, it hinted at what was to come in the singer-songwriter’s life and career. It didn’t so much foreshadow her subsequent accomplishments: the double-platinum second album, This Fire; her hit singles “Where Have All the Cowboys Gone” and “I Don’t Want To Wait,” her Best New Artist Grammy and an additional six Grammy nominations; or becoming a Grammy-nominated producer and founder of her own 675 record label. But Harbinger signaled Cole’s dedication to breaking the silence of generations of women and giving voice to those left behind by history.

In addition to co-creating Judas Priest's outstanding body of work, Rob Halford has also issued music outside of the beloved legendary Birmingham band - which is precisely what the new 14-CD boxset, The Complete Albums Collection, showcases. Included are four albums by the ferociously thrash-inspired Fight, as well as the lone album by the industrial-inspired 2wo (which featured guitarist John 5, and saw Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor serve as executive producer), plus 7 titles from the solo band Halford, which saw the Metal God gloriously return to pure, unadulterated metal. With the arrival of The Complete Albums Collection, metal fans will now have the definitive collection of Rob Halford s stellar work outside of the mighty Judas Priest, all in one set.

VORUM is dead! CONCRETE WINDS is deadly! After the outstanding Minialbum ‚Current Mouth‘, finnish VORUM ceased to exist. But the dead can not die for they are still hungry. Up from the ashes a new phoenix rose: CONCRETE WINDS is about to release one of the most bestial recordings ever erupting from the far north by the name ‚Primitive Force‘. 25 minutes of pure blasphemy, sadism & dystopia. In spite of the utmost shredding, thundering and screaming, this album still has musical ambitions. Where ‚Current Mouth‘ ended, ‚Primitive Force‘ starts and drives every audial aspect to the maximum. On the other hand this release keeps every layout aspect to a minimum. CONCRETE WINDS reduce verything to a lo fi, cut & paste undergroundish presentation. They set a statement and raise the middlefinger to a distraction shot from what is relevant. The pure magick of a Death Metal sound and gospel.
