The Iceburn Collective was a musical group formed in 1991 in Salt Lake City, Utah, by guitarist/vocalist/composer Gentry Densley, the sole constant member through multiple personnel changes. They were known for a unique style that combined elements of jazz, metal, punk and classical music. From 91-97 the band continually evolved and experimented with the limits of sound, releasing five full length albums and a split EP w/ Engine Kid (featuring Greg Anderson of Sunn 0))) and Ascend) for Revelation Records.

The Power Of The Lion features The Iceburn Collective using two electric guitars, two stand-up basses and drums. The seven pieces that make up the album were originally released on CD on Iceburns' own label in 1998. These seven pieces are intended not as finished goods but as components to be superimposed at will. according to a principle derived from quantum mechanics. The group experimented with the music as collage at their subsequent live dates. The Power Of The Lion is Iceburn at their most electrifying. They simultaneously fuse influences as diverse as Eric Dolphy, Drive Like Jehu, Ornette Coleman The Mahavishnu Orchestra.

A Storm of Light is the eponymous debut album by the new Brooklyn, NY band featuring Josh Graham, Neurosis visual director and former member of Red Sparowes and Battle of Mice. The esteemed guitarist/vocalist is joined on this recording by bassist/vocalist Domenic Seita (ex-Tombs, ex-Asea) and drummer Pete Angevine of Satanized. Since then, rhythmic pugilist extraordinaire Vinny Signorelli (Unsane, ex-Swans) signed on as second drummer.

As one would guess by the pedigree, A Storm of Light is brutally hard-hitting. However, the group's haunting harmonic drone meshes with guitar, vocals, and subtle keyboard layers, giving listeners more a sense of suffocation by drowning than a simple pummeling.

1. Adrift (The Albatross I)
2. Vast And Endless

The first new music since 2006's ferocious Christ Illusion, 'Psychopathy Red' is a blast of proper thrash metal by the band that invented it. The track is inspired by the truly heinous Russian serial murderer, Andrei Chikatilo, and if this is any indication of where Slayer's heading with their new album (Summer 2009) then, once again, no one is safe.

A special Russian 'evidence envelope' contains the blood-red vinyl slab in all its glory. This Record Store Day exclusive is Slayer's way of recognizing the importance of independent records stores as the longtime home and supporter of metal music.

Premiér™ Vinyl Record Cleaner is a mild precision cleaner formulated to clean, preserve and protect precious audio recordings. New DuPont solvent technology -- just invented in 2000 --enables Premiér™ to easily out-perform any other old-style LP cleaning system on the market today. In fact, it’s as good or even better than the old Freon® solvent cleaners which everybody used thirty years ago.

The solvent at the heart of this extraordinary cleaner has three characteristics which make it the best vinyl cleaner on the market today.

First, the solvent has a very low surface tension and very low viscosity. This means that Premiér™ is much, much 'wetter' than water. Unlike water, Premiér™ won’t bead-up on the waxy surface of an LP but instead it will spread out, flowing into the grooves and dissolving light oils and fingerprints. (We know you never touch the surface of your LPs, but there’s just no telling some folks.)

Secondly, Premiér™ is very heavy -- nearly twice as heavy as water, and much heavier than dust or the little bits of mold release compounds left on the LP by the stamping machine. This enables Premiér™ to get under the contamination on the record and displace it -- it literally 'floats' the contamination away, just like a ship floats in the ocean.

But it gets even better. One little-known fact about LPs is that they accumulate static, just like that cheap shag carpeting your parents put in the family room when you were a kid. Remember the jolt of electricity you got when you walked across the room and touched a doorknob? Well, the same thing happens to LPs as you slide them in and out of their sleeves or even just walk across a room with one in your hand (although obviously at much lower voltages). At the microscopic scale of a record groove and a dust particle, that tiny voltage acts like a powerful magnet and locks the dust particles onto the surface of the record. But Premiér™ features a special additive which breaks those 'static' bonds, freeing the dust to float off the LP. This unleashes the 'like new' sound that’s trapped in your LPs -- getting rid of the static means you get rid of the dust, along with the snaps and pops and cracks which drive you nuts.

Does it work? You bet. A skeptical Tom Lyle wrote in The $ensible Sound that "The results are impressive… I was amazed how silent the vinyl was." More recently, in Stereophile Michael Fremer wrote "Most importantly, after that first play the stylus remained clean, with no residue or dirt stuck to it.' No dust, no noise, just pure sound"

Here’s a couple of other useful features about Premiér™:

* Premiér™ dries briskly, so it can be used in conjunction with other LP cleaning systems.
* Premiér™ can clean LPs, CDs and DVDs, plus all the recording heads, motors, relays, dials, connectors and cables found on modern stereo systems. It also is safe for keyboards, test gear and even the screens on laptop computers and PDAs.
* Premiér™ is nonflammable so it’s safe to have around the house.
* Premiér™ has almost no aroma so it’s inconspicuous to use.
* Premiér™ is completely ozone-safe, is generally non-toxic and is considered very safe for people and the planet. Although we know people who use Premiér™ on operating electronics, it is neither approved nor recommended by Micro Care for that use.

Following the release of 1986's heavy metal classic Peace Sells But Who's Buying?, half of Megadeth's original line-up abruptly split. Guitarist Chris Poland and drummer Gar Samuelson parted, leaving the band in the hands of guitarist/singer Dave Mustaine and bassist Dave Ellefson. They were up to the challenge as their subsequent release of So Far, So Good...So What? helped solidify the band as one of speed metal's leading acts. Highlights include the band's reworking of the Sex Pistols' "Anarchy in the U.K." and a tribute to Metallica's late bassist Cliff Burton on "In My Darkest Hour" among others. Here on Limited Edition 180g Vinyl.

1. Into the Lungs of Hell
2. Set the World Afire
3. Anarchy in the U.K.
