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.”
Time To Burn
Artist: Taking DawnRelease Date: January 26, 2010
Description: Click to expand
The members of Taking Dawn grew up surrounded by the glitz and glam, the bright lights and big city of constant vice. This Las Vegas upbringing helped shaped the band into what it is today: a rock 'n roll time bomb just waiting to explode on an unsuspecting public with its Roadrunner debut, Time to Burn. Album features “Time To Burn” and “Take Me Away.”

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!

Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence
Artist: GlassjawRelease Date: May 9, 2000
Description: Click to expandNaked and truthful. Pure and brutally direct. Glassjaw work stray chords, a Radiohead-ish swirl of guitar and a barrage of bared emotions into a frenzy that's singular and uncompromising. Glassjaw's IAM/Roadrunner debut, Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence is as riveting and personal a record as you could ask for. One where beauty turns to disgust where melodies turn molten.

Downer
Artist: DownerRelease Date: April 24, 2001
Description: Click to expandTrue to its name, Downer isn't exactly an easy or exceedingly pleasant trip. From the energetic pound of the first single "Last Time" to the anthemic "Speed Teeth" to the angry grind of "Bi-Furious", Downer takes you on a sonic trip to the edge. With influences ranging from U2 to Jane's Addiction to Fugazi, Downer walk the fine line between the limiting label of 'metal' and the seemingly limitless label of 'alternative'. While 'alternative' may beg the question "Alternative to what?", Downer answers that question loudly and clearly - alternative to the boy band, hip-hopper wannabees dominating the airwaves today. Downer are a rock band, plain and simple no guest DJ's, MC's or other flavor of the month adornments.

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.
