Voivod – Infini
Samael – Solar Soul

Sinister – Afterburner
All albums are re-released on Golden Discs, limited and

Voivod – Katorz
The fourteenth album by the immensely influential Canadian
prog metal band Voivod! Released back in 2005, after the tragic death of the
guitarist, and one of the band’s founding members, Piggy, the album was for the
most part composed around Piggy’s guitar parts, which he managed to record
before his passing. The album, finished by the remaining trio of Snake, Away,
and Jason “Jasonic” Newstead (ex-Metallica) and produced by Glen Robinson,
constitutes, arguably, Voivod’s best sounding release up to that point and
features 10 compositions recorded in the unique style the band’s fans have come
to cherish.
Tracklist:
1. The Getaway
2. Dognation
3. Mr. Clean
4. After All
5. Odds & Frauds
6. Red My Mind
7. Silly Clones
8. No Angel
9. The X-Stream
10. Polaroids
Voivod – Infini
The fifteenth album by the immensely influential Canadian
prog metal band Voivod! Released in 2008, “Infini” is based on demo recordings
of the guitarist Piggy, one of the band’s founding members, who died of cancer
before the recordings of Voivod’s previous album “Katorz” (2005) were concluded.
The songs feature Piggy’s original guitar tracks in their unaltered form, and
were finished by the remaining trio of Snake, Away, and Jason Newstead
(ex-Metallica). A must-have for all the fans of Voivod’s unique style.
Tracklist:
1. God Phones
2. From The Cave
3. Earthache
4. Global Warning
5. A Room With A V.U.

Samael – Solar Soul
A re-issue of an album by the widely acclaimed, dark and
unpredictable act from Switzerland. Assaulting the broadly defined metal scene
for more than a quarter of a century now, Samael has on more than one occasion
proved its wild and innovative nature, winning over the hearts of fans and the
esteem of critics alike. Released in 2007, the “Solar Soul” album showed for
once more the amazing artistic prowess of Vorph, Xy, Mas, and Makro. A definite
must for all Samael fans.
Tracklist:
1. Solar Soul
2. Promised Land
3. Slavocracy
4. Western Ground
5. On the Rise
6. Alliance
7. Suspended Time

9. Ave!
10. Quasar Waves
11. Architect (Bonus Track)
12. Olympus
Sinister – Aggressive Measures
A re-issue of the fourth studio album by the death metal
veterans from the Netherlands! Originally released in 1998, this masterpiece of
death metal mayhem still holds up as a prime representative of the genre at its
absolute best. Brutally concise and uncompromising, full of the devastating
drumming of Aad Kloosterwaard (later, the band's singer), the crushing guitar
riffs of Bart van Wallenberg, and crowned with Eric de Windt's massive and
furious growl, Sinister's ˶Aggressive Measures” must be seen as nothing less
than an absolutely timeless death metal classic.
Tracklist:
1. Upcoming
2. Aggressive Measures
3. Beyond the Superstition
4. Into the Forgotten
5. Enslave the Weak
6. Fake Redemption
7. Chained in Reality
8. Emerged with Hate
9. Blood Follows the Blood
Sinister – Afterburner
A re-issue of the seventh studio album by the death metal
veterans from the Netherlands! An outstanding album marking the reunion of the
band, which split up in 2004, their latest album at that point being ˶Savage or
Grace” from 2003. Released in 2006, ˶Afterburner” showed the band reborn with an
altered line-up, with their drummer Aad Kloosterwaard switching over to vocals,
Alex Paul switching from bass to guitar, and introducing a brand new member:
Paul Beltman (drums). Recorded at Stage One Studios in Germany with the producer
Andy Classen, more diversified musically than ˶Savage or Grace”, though just as
dark and brutal, and boasting excellent production, the album showed the band
once again firmly stand their ground.
Tracklist:
1. The Grey Massacre
2. Altruistic Suicide
3. Men Down
4. Afterburner
5. Presage of the Mindless
6. Into Submission
7. The Riot Crossfire
8. Flesh of the Servant
