I Am the Night is an album by the then-glam metal band Pantera, released in 1985 (see 1985 in music) on record and cassette. Any CD release is a bootleg transferred via vinyl or tape. This album is where some of Pantera's faster and heavier influences were becoming more apparent, especially on the title track and "Down Below". It was also the last album to feature lead singer Terry Glaze.

Pantera was an American heavy metal band from Arlington, Texas, formed by the Abbott brothers, Vinnie Paul (drums) and "Dimebag" Darrell (guitar), then known as Diamond Darrell, in 1981.[1] Bassist Rex Brown would join in 1982 and in 1987 Phil Anselmo would become the group's lead vocalist, completing the band's most successful lineup that would remain together for 16 years.

Although initially influenced by 1980s glam metal bands such as Kiss and Van Halen, Pantera's style would change by the late '80s, showing a greater influence from thrash metal acts such as Slayer, Exodus, Exhorder and Metallica, as well as traditional metal bands such as Black Sabbath and Judas Priest. Pantera subsequently became a key formulator of the post-thrash subgenre of "groove" metal. It would not be until nine years after forming that Pantera saw its first piece of commercial success in its 1990 major label debut, Cowboys from Hell. From there, Pantera became one of the most celebrated heavy metal bands of the 1990s.

Despite the generally cold reception of the band's first four albums from the 1980s, critics have lauded Pantera's style thereafter; Jason Birchmeier of Allmusic.com states that "there was no greater metal band during the early to mid-'90s than Pantera."[2] The band has received accolades such as ranking 45th on VH1's list of the "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock"[3] and fifth on MTV's "Top 10 Greatest Heavy Metal Bands of All-Time."[4]

Pantera began to suffer from mounting tensions between band members in the mid-1990s, largely due to Phil Anselmo's rampant drug abuse.[5] Anselmo, having been nagged by a painful back injury for several years, explored the option of corrective surgery, however he was not comfortable with having to take an extended break from Pantera to recover, which could have taken up to a year.[5] Instead, Anselmo began using heroin as a painkiller and as a result his behavior became erratic and volatile, his performances suffered and he began to distance himself from his bandmates, who were initially unaware of his addiction.

In 2001, the band went on hiatus and was never able to successfully reunite, with the Abbott brothers unable to communicate with Anselmo, who was immersed in several side-projects, chiefly Down and Superjoint Ritual.[5] Pantera officially disbanded in 2003 and a war of words ensued, with Phil and Vinnie Paul trading inflammatory comments and blaming one another for the break-up of Pantera via the media.[5] Any hope of the band members ever reconciling their differences and possibly reuniting was lost in 2004, when "Dimebag" Darrell was shot and killed on-stage at the Alrosa Villa in Columbus, Ohio by an obsessed Pantera fan while performing with his and his brother's new band, Damageplan. from site

Angra Aurora Consurgens Back

Angra was formed in 1991 by ex-Spitfire duo guitarist Rafael Bittencourt and drummer Marco Antunes, as well as vocalist Andre Matos, who had recently left Viper, former Firebox bassist Luís Mariutti and guitarist André Hernandes.

After a short time the guitarist Andre Hernandes left the band. Shortly after guitarist Kiko Loureiro joined the band.

After almost an entire year of rehearsal they released the demo Reaching Horizons in 1992 which was received very positively by critics and achieved unexpected success both in Brazil and Europe. It was one of the first releases from Limb Music Products, which later would become one of Europe's premier power metal specialty labels.



Before recording their first album Angels Cry, Marco Antunes left the band and was shortly replaced by Sieges Even's drummer Alex Holzwarth for the recording sessions; he was later replaced by Ricardo Confessori. This change established Angra in its most enduring and prolific form, which lasted from 1993 to 2000. Angels Cry was recorded at Gamma Ray guitarist Kai Hansen's studio in Hamburg, Germany. The album included performances by Heaven's Gate guitarist Sascha Paeth as well as Gamma Ray guitarists Kai Hansen and Dirk Schlächter.

The album was released in Brazil in 1993 and featured many classical influences as well as an adventurous cover of Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights". The album was a great success in Angra's native Brazil as well as Japan where it sold over 100,000 copies[citation needed]. That year Angra dominated the polls of the Brazilian magazine Rock Brigade obtaining awards for Best New Band, Best Album, Best Singer, Best Album Cover and Best Keyboard Player. Due to the album's success in Japan an EP was issued on the Japanese market which included remixed versions of songs from Angels Cry (Evil Warning, Angels Cry, Carry On and Wuthering Heights). In the following year the album was subsequently released in Europe through Dream Circle, and in France by C.N.R. It went on to be very successful both critically and commercially.

In 1994 Angra opened for AC/DC in Brazil and was invited to the inaugural Brazilian Monsters of Rock Festival, sharing stage with KISS, Black Sabbath and Slayer. After the festival, the band embarked on what would be a very successful Brazilian tour, which eventually ended in Europe in 1995. From [Site]

In this year the band participated in some festivals.

In Spring 2005, FOREVER SLAVE signed an international deal with Armageddon Music (Germany). The band recordered their debut album ( Alice´s Inferno ) between May and June 2005. This album became top 9 in metal French Underclass sales, top 27 in Tipo´s Sales (Spain) and it was album of the Month in Metal Hammer (Spain)

Forever Slave played on several important festivals in Europe: Wacken Open Air (Germany), Metal Female Voices Festival (Belgium), Rock Stars Festival (Spain),… for example.

In August 2007, the band finished the recording of Tales for bad girls, an album about themes like AIDS, the relations between people of the same sex, cybersex, the mistreatment of women, the Pederasty and a collection of “forbidden” relationships.

Within Temptation




Tentu kita sudah tidak asing lagi dengan salah satu band metal gothic terbaik dari Belanda yang bernama Within Temptation.Yang membentuk band ini Robert Westerholt pada tahun 1996. kekasihnya, Sharon den Adel sebagai vocalis. Dengan beranggotakan 6 orang, Within Temptation mulai memasuki dunia industri.






Tahun 1997 mereka mendapat kontrak dengan DSFA Records untuk merilis album pertama. Album berjudul Enter ini mulai mengantar WT menuju sukses.Musik yang ditawarkan WT adalah gabungan dari riff-riff dan sound modern metal, epic, gothic, orchestra, choir, dan nuansa melodi musik Eropa abad pertengahan. Namun untuk permainan gitar, Robert Westerholt tidak memainkan solo-solo gitar seperti yang ditampilkan oleh Emppu, gitaris Nightwish.Awalnya band ini hanya bermain di wilayah Belanda saja, namun setelah melihat respon yang positif dari pasar dan penonton di setiap gig yang mereka hadiri, akhirnya Robert cs memutuskan untuk mulai menjelajahi negara-negara tetangga. Jerman dan Austria adalah negara yang pertama kali mereka incar pasarnya.Tahun 1998 album berikutnya, 'The Dance' dirilis. Namun setahun berikutnya mereka memutuskan untuk lebih banyak break. Setelah 2 tahun lebih vakum mengeluarkan album, akhirnya Within Temptation merilis album berikutnya berjudul 'Mother Earth' yang dirilis pada tanggal 21 Agustus 2001. Dengan mengandalkan single 'Ice Queen', album ini langsung menjadi jawara diseluruh Belanda dan juga Belgia hingga diganjar dengan emas atas penjualannya. Album ini mendapat sambutan bagus dari para kritikus musik. Album ini cukup banyak mengadaptasi nuansa musik Eropa Skandinavia pada abad pertengahan, tapi berbeda dengan jenis musik yang ditawarkan oleh grup metal asal Italia, Rhapsody.Selang waktu tahun 2002 sampai 2004 WT lebih banyak bermain di negara-negara luar Belanda. Strategi ini untuk menancapkan eksistensi dan menjaring banyak fans mereka di Eropa. Mereka pernah bermain dalam event Pinkpop yang dihadiri sekitar 100.000 orang. Dan ternyata strategi tersebut sangat berhasil, dengan berpindah ke GUN records yang berada dibawah naungan Sony BMG, untuk yang kedua kalinya Within Temptation menggebrak dengan album yang berjudul 'The Silent Force'. Album ini dirilis tahun 2005 dengan menjagokan hits 'Stand My Ground' yang kali ini memiliki daya ledak yang lebih keras dibanding album-album sebelumnya. 'The Silent Force' mampu menguasai pasar-pasar di negara-negara Eropa lain, salah satunya adalah dengan berhasilnya 'The Silent Force' masuk Top 5 album di Jerman. Selain single Stand My Ground, pada album ini juga terdapat hits lain yang tidak kalah bagusnya, sebut saja 'Memories' dan 'Angel'. Penghargaan yang didapat oleh Robert bersama bandnya antara lain World Music Award untuk kategori 'Best Selling Dutch', kemudian nominasi MTV 'Best Dutch & Belgian Artist act'. SUMBER

Mariah carey ( E=MC2 )



She's also been nominated for countless Grammy Awards. She started winning them from the time of her 1990 debut album, when she won in the Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance (for "Vision of Love") categories.






Mariah Carey has been extremely successful as a singer, having cowritten many of her biggest hits and having sold millions of albums worldwide. She may be considered a pop diva, but her singles have crossed over to top the R&B, hip-hop and adult contemporary charts too.

As if those accomplishments weren't enough, Mariah Carey continued to receive success as her career progressed. Her 2005 album, The Emancipation of Mimi, debuted at No. 1, and the single "We Belong Together" held the Hot 100's No. 1 position for 14 weeks and was 2005's biggest hit in the States.

Her 2008 album E=MC2, another brilliant success, was Mariah Carey's 11th studio album to date.

Mariah Carey is beautiful, and she has some of the sexiest music videos around. Remember the "Fantasy" and "Honey" videos? She may have gained a few pounds here and there, but she still oozes with sex appeal in every award show appearance and on every album cover.

This is album E=MC2
