ABADDON founder member of Black Metal Gods VENOM, unleashes his first solo album to the masses.He States After 22 years thinking and breathing Venom, I just feel its time I did something a little different. New Music for a New Millennium.To be honest I'm into a heavier, more rhythmic sort of thing right now, where as the Venom thing has its own niche in the metal market, its not pushing boundaries anymore. I want to take metal to the edge again. Some of the heaviest rhythms around at the moment are coming from the dance floor, combine that with metal and you've got the potential to take peoples faces apart he adds I've seen bands like Fear Factory decimate 60,000 people at the Dynamo in Holland and Insane Clown Posse sonically destroy in the UK clubs, that proves to me, that this type of music can be as powerful on both the little and big stage.

Apart from being a noted and obviously gifted composer and band leader, Billy Cobham is without doubt one of the most important and influential jazz drummers working today. This 2CD set contains compositions from the period in the eighties when Cobham was at his experimental best with albums such as Picture This and Powerplay not to mention tracks from the critically acclaimed Nordic and Focused of which Down Beat magazine commented, Cobham's drumming is crisp, ever inventive and true to form [He] attacks his kit with flair and bad intentions while displaying his infamous and untouchable chops. Conham has appeared on pivotal jazz albums such as Miles Davis' Bitches Brew and Jack Johnson as well as work with Roy Ayers, George Benson, John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Cobham has fashioned a unique style that combines the brain-melting power of hard-rock rhythm keepers with the agility of jazz men: imagine Led Zeppelin's John Bonham, the Who's Keith Moon and Elvin Jones all rolled into a singularly gifted musician.

Any band that can chalk up eleven UK top 75 singles and twelve UK top 50 LPs has got to be a bit special.Judas Priest was one of the most influential heavy metal bands of the '70s, spearheading the "new wave of British heavy metal" late in the decade. Decked out in leather and chains, the band fused the gothic doom of Black Sabbath with the riffs and speed of Led Zeppelin as well as adding a vicious two-lead guitar attack; in doing so, they set the pace for much popular heavy metal from 1975 until 1985, as well as laying the groundwork for the speed and death metal groups of the 80's.
