Metal, Rated “XXX”: Roadrunner Marks Three-Decade-Plus Mark with Four-Disc Box Set

August 21, 2013 by Mike Duquette | No Comments

One of the top labels in straight-up rock and heavy metal, Roadrunner Records, will celebrate their more than 30 years in the business with a new box set, XXX: Three Decades of Roadrunner Records, in October. From its inception in 1980, Roadrunner was often toward the forefront of metal, from traditional heavy and thrash metal in the 1980s and early 1990s to the fast-paced tracks and nu metal stylings of the late ’90s. Along the way, they’ve opened up their roster to all kinds of hard rock, serving as a solid home base…

Megadeth Plan “Extinction”-Level Event

September 12, 2012 by Mike Duquette | No Comments

Following last year’s heavy-duty 25th anniversary box set edition of Peace Sells…But Who’s Buying?, EMI is slated to release another expanded anniversary edition from thrash-metal gods Megadeth, celebrating 20 years of their Countdown to Extinction album. Countdown, the politically charged, hard-driving fifth album from the band, was released at one of the commercial zeniths of heavy metal, with Mustaine’s former band Metallica’s self-titled “Black Album” and Pantera’s A Vulgar Display of Power also earning high critical and commercial marks in 1991 and 1992. Countdown went double platinum – to this date, it’s the band’s highest-selling LP – and spun…

Weekend Wround-Up: Queen Sets in September, Trent is Angry and Notable Links

July 22, 2011 by Mike Duquette | No Comments

Queen have confirmed their last batch of expanded studio albums – The Works, A Kind of Magic, The Miracle, Innuendo and Made in Heaven – to be released in the U.K. on September 5 from Island/UMC. Another Deep Cuts compilation will be released as well, as seen above; neither that set nor the bonus material have gotten confirmed track lists. Note that all 15 remastered studio albums will be out before the second batch of reissues hit American shelves. It usually pains me to agree with Nine Inch Nails honcho Trent Reznor – the musician who rallied so…

“Peace” Still Sells: Megadeth Album to Receive Deluxe Box Treatment

April 20, 2011 by Mike Duquette | No Comments

Dave Mustaine was determined not to become a footnote in heavy metal history. The guitarist had spent a mostly uneventful two years in the employ of a Los Angeles band named Metallica, who fired him shortly before recording their debut album, Kill ‘Em All, in 1983. (Mustaine did pen four tracks on the record, including favorites “The Four Horsemen” and “Jump in the Fire.”) Undeterred, Mustaine formed his own band, Megadeth, in 1985. Their debut, Killing is My Business…and Business is Good!, was released through Combat Records and led to a moderately…
