Meliah Rage re-issues available now


MELIAH RAGE - KILL TO SURVIVE

Available as:
Deluxe 2-CD
LP (180 grams, black, clear and red vinyl)Order here

A forgotten classic, without a doubt... remastered!

While Boston’s Meliah Rage segued into thrashier territory with the admittedly-spectacular “Solitary Solitude”, their finest moment has to be the debut “Kill to Survive”. 

This record is a stone-cold heavy metal classic, fusing classic-sounding riffs with incendiary thrash intensity, epic vocals and an acrobatic, multifarious grasp of the disparate elements that contribute to the overall sound. One could say that “Kill to Survive” feels a lot like Metal Church, but there is some Metallica sprinkled in there as well amid an ephemeral smattering of Flotsam and Jetsam’s eccentricities. 

A very compact listen at only seven tracks including the lengthy instrumental eponymous cut (on the original, the Japanse bonus track “Kill to Surive” is now added).

For those who are Metal enough to still like: Metal Church, Metallica, Flotsam & Jetsam, Savatage, Manowar, Overkill


MELIAH RAGE - SOLITARY SOLITUDE

Order here

Available as:
Deluxe 2-CD
LP (180 grams, black, clear and red vinyl)

Classic Thrash Metal from 1990, remastered!

Despite still hanging on and actively performing even today, Meliah Rage still has not climbed the ladder of heavy metal. Back in 1990, they tried to leap forward a bit by hardening their sound, maybe become a bit more known. The result was their sophomore effort, the classic Metal album “Solitary Solitude”. 

This album still retains some of the group’s US Power Metal roots, but overall an even sharper turn towards thrash has been taken, resulting in a mostly mid-paced record that is comparable to Anthrax and even some of Overkill’s stuff.

Out Now! Ophidian Memory Unleashes New Melodic Death Album “Carrion Lord”

Ophidian Memory Unleashes New Melodic Death Album "Carrion Lord" ​ Melodic death metal project Ophidian Memory, the brainchild of Blake Lamoureux, is set to release its latest album "Carrion Lord" on September 27th, 2024. Ophidian Memory, hailing from Des Moines, USA, is known for its innovative approach to metal, using melodic death metal as a foundation to incorporate elements of black metal, thrash, progressive metal, and metalcore. "Carrion Lord" continues this tradition, offering a heavier and more unrelenting sound compared to its predecessor "Our Shattered Garden". Lamoureux comments: "Carrion Lord is the most ambitious and brutal Ophidian Memory release to date. The lyrics portray themes of deception, sacrifice, undreamt horror, and war. Musically the death and black metal notches have been turned all the way up, while the progressive notch has been turned down greatly until late in the album, giving a reprieve to the listener for ...
