I Worship Chaos "" Children of Bodom

The 9^th studio album by the Finnish melodic death metal legends sees the band on top form, with catchy yet brutal riffs and some seriously impressive solos from guitar virtuoso Alexi Laiho.

Under the Red Cloud "" Amorphis

More melodic death metal goodness, this time from Finnish titans Amorphis. This is their 12^th album but the band sounds just as good as they did on 1992's The Karelian Isthmus. Blabbermouth described Under The Red Cloud as Amorphis "˜playing at a zenith of their talents'.

Heroes on Tour "" Sabaton

This live collection from Swedish metal warriors Sabaton features live versions of their most popular tracks, recorded at Wacken Open Air and Sabaton Open Air, their own festival held in Falun, Sweden. It captures all the energy and fun of their live show, in the comfort of your living room. You might want to move some furniture before you start moshing though…

Ghostlists "" Tobias Sammet's Avantasia

Metal doesn't get much more dramatic than Avantasia, the rock opera supergroup led by Edguy's Tobias Sammet. Ghostlists concludes the tale started by previous album The Mystery of Time, in which scientist find a way to make everyone get along, only to face moral and ethical consequences. Being a rock opera, Ghostlists is big, brash and theatrical, with soaring vocals and epic riffs.

Oh, and here's a fun fact: opening track Mystery of a Blood Red Rose was written with Meat Loaf in mind as lead singer. It was later considered as Germany's entry into Eurovision.

The Big Teutonic 4

German thrash legends Kreator, Sodom, Destruction and Tankard team up for another joint EP, covering heavy metal classics and proving why they're every bit as awesome as the other big 4 of thrash.

Stampede (7") "" Accept

This thrilling 7" from  German heavy metal pioneers Accept includes Stampede, the lead track from their awesome album Blind Rage, and a live version of Teutonic Terror. A must have for any Accept fan!

Twilight of the Gods (7") "" Blind Guardian

Twilight of the Gods is power metal at its finest, which is no surprise as Blind Guardian are possibly the best power metal band around. This 7" also includes a live version of Time Stands Still (At The Iron Hill) recorded at Wacken Open Air.
