Hellbilly Deluxe II
Artist: RobZombieRelease Date: February 2, 2010
Description: Click to expand
The long awaited album Hellbilly Deluxe 2 comes a dozen years after its first installment, and even though there were two studio albums - 2001’s The Sinister Urge and 2006’s Educated Horses - in between, it seamlessly picks up where Hellbilly Deluxe I left off.
Featuring the infectious single “Sick Bubblegum,” which sounds like it was written during the original’s sessions, but remains modern, relevant and forward-thinking, “What?,” a catchy, distorted track that screams of signature Zombie, “Werewolf, Baby!,” another sick ‘n twisted rock ‘n roll anthem, and other electric romps like “Jesus Frankenstein” and the thunderous “Mars Needs Women,” Hellbilly Deluxe 2 is Rob Zombie in 2010: leaner and meaner, with the same snarl and appreciation for all things dark and a little bit dastardly.
It’s no easy feat to record a companion-style follow-up 12 years later, but Rob Zombie makes it look and sound easy. “This was one of the least stressful records I’ve ever made. The songs fell together in record time. ” says Zombie, “For some reason the best songs always come easy.”

Mutiny Within
Artist: Mutiny WithinRelease Date: February 23, 2010
Description: Click to expand
“Keep it heavy, keep it fast and keep it clever. Never pace to anything. It is an active record.” That’s how bassist Andrew “AJ” Jacobs, the sole founding member, effectively encapsulated what Mutiny Within and their self-titled debut are about. The resulting album, Mutiny Within, is the culmination of years of figuring it out, getting it together and finally making it work and it’s all manifested in an album that is almost shocking in its technical prowess and its use of melody amid maelstrom. Album features “Awake.”

Glassjaw work stray chords, a Radiohead-ish swirl of guitar and a barrage of bared emotions into a frenzy that's singular and uncompromising.

One where beauty turns to disgust where melodies turn molten.

Primitive
Artist: SoulflyRelease Date: September 26, 2000
Description: Click to expandNOTE - THE PRIMITIVE DIGIPAK IS NO LONGER BEING SHIPPED - GET EM WHILE STORES STILL GOT EM!! Max gets back to basics and back to the PRIMITIVE! On his follow-up to 1998's self-titled release, frontman Max Cavalera returns with a vengeance, twelve tracks of brutal beauty, and a bunch of friends to assault your senses and blow your mind! Soulfly's Primitive, is Max at his best. Featuring track after track of jarring, in-your-face musical mayhem. With buddies Chino Moreno(Deftones), Tom Araya(Slayer), Corey 8(Slipknot) and the unlikely pairing with Sean Lennon, you would think that Max couldn't handle the load on his own, but you couldn't be further from the truth. Primitive is musical collaboration at its best keeping true to the foundation that is Soulfly. This is a band and an album that explores heavy sound to the outer limits and ultimately takes it back to the basics and back to the Primitive!

All Hope Is Gone
Artist: SlipknotRelease Date: August 26, 2008
Description: Click to expandAll Hope is Gone, the fourth release from this hard rock machine from Des Moines, IA, is more of a statement than a record. Corey Taylor comments, "Every album we have made is a statement about that space in time. I think this era is the most mature, most beautiful and the most powerful. We have made an album that will show the road behind, the road ahead, and where we are as men. I think it's the best thing I've ever made. And I challenge anyone to prove me wrong." The album promises to blend elements of 2004's Vol 3: (The Subliminal Verses) and 2001's Iowa, while adding a perspective, freshness and depth that only three years apart can bring. All Hope Is Gone was recorded this spring in Slipknot's home state and is co-produced by the band and Dave Fortman.

Dark Horse
Artist: NickelbackRelease Date: November 18, 2008
Description: Click to expandDark Horse's songs -- recorded during the summer at Chad Kroeger's converted barn studio in Vancouver -- traverse a wide terrain, from the arcing melodic ebb and flow of the first single, "Gotta Be Somebody" and the metallic groove of "Burn It To The Ground" to the heavy riffery of "Something In Your Mouth" and "The Next Go Round" and the inspiring balladry of "You'll Never Be Alone" and "I'd Come For You." "We're a rock band," Peake says. "We like to get heavy and we do like to write stuff that's melodic and maybe a little more mellow. It's nice to have both, and it's nice to have both accepted by the fans. There are some bands that can only put out one kind of thing, but our fans are pretty open so we don't get stuck in one place."

Pray For Villains (Special Edition)
Artist: DevilDriverRelease Date: July 14, 2009
Description: Click to expandThe "Pray For Villains" Artwork is based on the title track on the record.
The chorus goes " They Pray For Villains when their heroes let them down."
The concept of the Villain saving the day - when all else fails you turn your eyes towards the badass that gets the job done. Not the clean cut guy - often big talking, slow acting, lacking in spirit and conviction!
I needed something graphic to tie into the hero/villain idea.
I personally have been collecting Owls for some time and the Owl in many different cultures is seen as both the hero and villain.
In Ireland an Owl that enters a house must be killed at once, for if it flies away it will takes the luck of the house with it.
In Australia, Aborigines believe bats represent the souls of men and Owls the souls of woman. Owls are therefore sacred in their culture because your sister is an Owl and the Owl is your sister.
For the Aztecs, one of their evil gods wore a screech Owl on his head and in the Celtic culture, the Owl is the sign of the Underworld.
So, the OWL was the obvious choice as I wanted to feel as connected to the artwork as I do to the music and also give DevilDriver another icon to work with and even further define us a band!
So we bring you
PRAY FOR VILLAINS
Hail!
Dez Fafara
The special edition is a CD/DVD package with 3 bonus tracks, a behind the scenes DVD and expanded artwork.
