Savage Grace isn't just a speed metal band-they're part of the genre's foundation. Emerging from Los Angeles in the early '80s, the band played a crucial role in shaping the U.S. speed metal sound, pushing speed, aggression and precision at a time when the genre was still being defined. Their uncompromising approach left a lasting mark on the underground and influenced generations of bands that followed.Curse The Night (82-84 Demos) gathers the earliest studio recordings ever made by Savage Grace. Recorded between 1982 and 1984, these sessions capture the band in a raw developmental stage, already displaying the speed, structure and intensity that would later define their classic sound. While the 1982 recordings feature an earlier line-up, the 1984 demos were recorded by the same line-up responsible for the The Dominatress EP, offering a rare look into the band's creative origins and early studio identity.Curse The Night (82-84 Demos) has been fully remastered from the best audio sources available. Includes rare band photos, exclusive liner notes and song lyrics.For fans of: AGENT STEEL, OMEN, LIEGE LORD, JUDAS PRIEST.

For many U.S. metal fans, Seventh Avenue may feel like a hidden gem - but in Europe, especially in Germany's rich power metal scene, they've long been respected as a top-tier melodic force.Between The Worlds (originally released in 2003 on Massacre Records in Germany) captures the band at their creative peak. Their sound sits comfortably alongside the greats of European melodic power metal - think the speed and lift of Helloween, the precision and drive of Gamma Ray, and the soaring melodic sensibility of Stratovarius. Add in touches that fans of Blind Guardian and Rage will immediately recognize, and you begin to understand the caliber of this release.What truly sets Seventh Avenue apart is their ability to balance technical musicianship with unforgettable melodic choruses. The songs are fast, tight, and powerful - yet deeply accessible. Tracks like "A Step Between the Worlds," "Tales of the Forgotten Dreams," and "Wings of Dawn" showcase dynamic arrangements, dual-guitar harmonies, and commanding vocals that stay with you long after the final note. The album also features an epic power-metal interpretation of Survivor's "Burning Heart," transformed into a high-octane anthem that feels right at home alongside the band's original material.Lyrically, Seventh Avenue carries a thoughtful Christian worldview, but without sacrificing the intensity or edge that power metal demands. The themes are reflective, philosophical, and emotionally driven - fitting perfectly with the album's grand, melodic scope.Now, for the first time ever, Between The Worlds receives an official USA release through Retroactive Records as part of the Metal Icon Series. This edition has been newly remastered by Rob Colwell, giving the album greater clarity, punch, and depth while preserving it's original character. Housed in a jewel case with a 12-page lyrics booklet filled with photos and artwork, this limited pressing of just 500 units is designed specifically with collectors in mind.For longtime European power metal fans, this album has always been a standout. For American listeners discovering Seventh Avenue for the first time, Between The Worlds is the perfect introduction - melodic, energetic, and undeniably anthemic.For fans of Helloween, Gamma Ray, Blind Guardian, Rage, Stratovarius!

Born from the grips of the pandemic, Shine are the newest brainchild of Hazael's Tomasz Dobrzeniecki, and their first album Wrathcult leaves no doubt that a new force in Polish extreme metal has awakened. Inspired by the likes of Emperor, Bathory, Morbid Angel, Entombed and Dismember, Dobrzeniecki's new outfit channels that lineage into something raw, relentless, and unmistakably it's own. "'Shine' for me is a sheen of a sword's blade, the last thing that your foes see in their lives. You can also relate it to the Promethean light given to people that enlightens or sometimes blinds us. It can also be a glare of rage stemming from the resistance towards the unnatural rules forced upon us," explains Dobrzeniecki when asked about his new unit's name. "Our music is full of references to ancient rules and rituals and times when people lived in accordance with nature and cosmos using the primeval knowledge." Dark Descent Records will handle the release, having previously collaborated with Dobrzeniecki on the reissue of Hazael's classic opus. Wrathcult continues in similar thematic territory, invoking forgotten ancestral knowledge and tapping into primal forces, and mythic echoes of a pre-Christian world. "Lyrics for the album are mainly inspired by the pre-Christian spirituality and mythology of our forefathers and based on such books as Bestiariusz Slowianski, Mitologia Slowianska by J. Bobrowski and M. Wrona, and Slowianska Czarownica (Slavic Bestiary, Slavic Mythology, Slavic Witch). The lyrics pay homage to nature and higher powers in order to upkeep the memories of the beliefs that once shaped our heritage. We live on the borderline of three cultures that blend together in some way - Germanic, Norse and Slavic mythology have quite a lot in common." The album was recorded at Heinrich House Studio in Legionowo, Poland - a small city on the outskirts of Warsaw that holds an important place in metal history, being the hometown of Daray (Dimmu Borgir, Vesania), Orion (Behemoth, Vesania) and Heinrich (Vesania, Decapitated). "Me and producer Heinrich (Filip Halucha) have known each other for about 20 years. If you want to record a metal album that 100% meets your expectations, I think he's the only person that I trust." An uncompromising slab of ancient fury awaits! "See you in Valhalla! I've heard the parties there are worth dying for," exclaims Dobrzeniecki.
