Iron Maiden

From Fear To Eternity

2 CD's for the price of 1. Sort of a "Greatest hits" spanning from 1990 to 2010. A must have for any Maiden Fan or Metal Head to hold you over until the next Maiden studio album.

AC/DC

Let There Be Rock

My first concert experience at a theatre in Costa Mesa, CA. It was loud, very loud. This would imprint my DNA for all that I must seek out over the next 30 years. Sound and video quality is A+. Performance is even better. Whether you see Angus as the front man, or Bon, this is the essential rock concert film.

Hank3

Ghost to a Ghost/Gutterown

Not a country fan, but this 2 cd set may possibly be the best country release out there in 2011. Maybe now after this I am a country fan now, no... Fuck That... I'm simply a fan of Hank3

Hank3

Attention Deficient Domination

Doom metal at its finest! Hank3 brings it! Has a very early Sabbath vibe, and a must checkout. The louder the better on this, I mean earth shaking loud.

Hank3

3 Bar Ranch Cattle Callin

Unique and unlike anything out there, guitars remind me of early Burzum. This music is sick! Props to Hank3 for wearing his heart on his sleeve!

Kittie has done it again, with another awesome album, Great guitar riffs, and some epic jams on this release, I really like several of the tracks. Another progression for Kittie.

Verismo

Falling up the Stairs


Verismo has a solid EP out in Falling up the Stairs, Great musicianship by this 3 piece out of Brooklyn, Sound like they gel together very well, and I am sure they kick ass as a live band.

Alice Cooper

Welcome 2 My Nightmare

A complete epic follow up to the original from 75. As if it was released as the next album. Very well done with the same 70's vibe and raw tone. Love the anti disco feel to it.

A must buy! Get Yours Here!

Derek Sherinian

Oceana

Some of the best musicianship in the business, Derek delivers an epic album that is right there with Joe Satriani's Surfing with the Alien. I am very impressed with how Fucking Cool this CD sounds!!!

The Haunt Rocker Jerry Vayne

The Attic

One of the best in the business in creating epic soundtracks to all things haunted. Blending metal riffs, and sounds of madness. If you plan to host an event of attraction this Halloween season and want the best. Be sure to pick up The Attic.

Scott H. Biram

Bad Ingredients

Honest, raw, and at times a little eerie...SCOTT H. BIRAM serves up a gourmet selection of Blues, Country, and Rock-N-Roll on his new album, "Bad Ingredients". The songs on this album will get your feet tappin, your hands clappin, and have you coming back for a second helping...So kick back, relax with your favorite box of wine and enjoy!

Favorite tracks:
Just Another River / Born In Jail / Broke Ass /
I Want My Mojo Back / Wind Up Blind / Black Creek Risin'
