Conan The Barbarian (2010 Prometheus Edition)

Pra comemorar 1 ano de "volta" do E.P. tinha que ser com algo estrondoso, trovejante, épico! Essa é, de muito, muito longe, a minha trilha sonora favorita. Composta e regida por Basil Poledouris (1945-2006), virou objeto de culto com o passar dos anos. Nesta edição luxuosa de 2010, os temas foram recriados pela Orquestra Filarmônica de Praga e conduzida pelo maestro Nic Raine.

O trabalho conta com 96 músicos (incluindo todos os instrumentos que Poledouris não conseguiu viabilizar em 1982) e um coral de 100 vozes. As faixas-bônus também são espetaculares. Mais infos no encarte e aqui.

Só passa pra cá o meu machado...

Exodus - Bonded By Blood (1985, 1999 Reissue)

Esse dispensa apresentações. É um clássico do thrash metal. Muitos acham que deveria ser a banda a ocupar o lugar do Anthrax no Big 4. Uma pena mesmo que a carreira do Paul Baloff tenha sido tão errática após esse disco.

Esse relançamento de 1999 via Century Media manteve as duas faixas-bônus do relançamento de 1989 pela Combat Records. Ambas foram gravadas ao vivo em Londres, em 8 de março de 1989, e os vocais são do Steve "Zetro" Souza.

1. "Bonded by Blood" – 3:43
‪2.‬ "Exodus" – 4:05

Vio-Lence - Eternal Nightmare (1988, 2005 Reissue)

(a capa da reedição é toda fudida assim mesmo!)

Debut discográfico de Robb Flynn e Phil Demmel, do Machine Head, e uma das estreias mais, hum, vio-lentas da história do thrash metal. Essa reedição de 2005 inclui um CD-bônus com a apresentação no concerto Thrash of the Titans, em benefício ao Chuck Billy (frontman do Testament), na época com um tipo raro de câncer.

No mais, assino embaixo as impressões certeiras do Classic Thrash:

"I remember the very first time when I was listening to this album. After the first minute or so, I couldn't help but start laughing - not because of the vocals or anything like that, it was just the sheer intensity of the music that really struck me hard. Except for maybe Slayer's Reign In Blood, I had never heard anything so hilariously violent in thrash metal before. In my opinion, Eternal Nightmare is one of the best thrash metal debuts ever and a nearly perfect album. It starts off with furious speed and keeps it up until the very end, no slowdowns between. The songs are such wonderful riff-fests that to find another full-length album with anything similar you really need to try. I know many people disliked Vio-lence because of Sean Killian's vocals, but at least on this album his howling voice sounds just fine to me and helps to create the distinguishable sound of Vio-lence. If you want to take a really good nostalgia trip to the heydays of thrash metal, this is definitely one album to pick up."
