KING DIAMOND - BLACK MAGIC

Both as the frontman for Mercyful Fate and as a solo artist, King Diamond has attained legendary status. King began experimenting with horror themed theatrics (including cavorting with a human skull named Melissa) as well as shaping a satanic stage persona while singing with a local Danish hard rock band called Black Rose. In 1980, he left Black Rose and joined the punk-metal band Brats where he met Hank Shermann. Soon after, the two of them were asked to help Michael Denner (a former member of Brats) with his own project Danger Zone which included Timi Hansen. These musicians would join with King Diamond in 1980 to become the supremely influential Mercyful Fate. Following a series of releases, King Diamond split with Mercyful Fate in 1984 to pursue a solo career. He took Hansen and Denner with him and hooked up with guitar wiz Andy La Rocque who has been ripping leads for the King ever since. As a solo artist, King Diamond’s occult themes grew into horror stories. Each of his albums contains a story told throughout the songs, most are elaborate rock operas that unfold as the tracks progress. King’s own story deserves similar treatment. Here we present an audiobiography that tells the tale of a black magician who has spent the last 30 years bouncing from town to town in various guises attracting followers to his spectacular roadshow. Kiss your soul goodbye.

BLACK SABBATH - FALLEN ANGELS

Tony Martin was Black Sabbath's second longest serving vocalist behind only Ozzy. He was the voice of Sabbath from 1987-1990 and 1993-1995. While many disregard Black Sabbath after the Ian Gillan experiment, others have gone so far as to argue that Tony Martin was Sabbath's best vocalist. Whether or not this is true, it is clear that he fronted the band during the period in which Black Sabbath was least relevant in a commercial sense. Tony Iommi and his legendary band were essentially cast out of the metal pantheon. Tony Martin Black Sabbath should not be disregarded, however. We all know that some of the best metal albums were produced by bands that were not commercially viable. This Barking Chicken Production showcases Sabbath during the Tony Martin era and may just be better than 'Mob Rules' or 'Born Again'. You be the judge.

MOE. - The Electric Lemoe.nade Acid Test

Troo kvlt and uncompromising, moe. is the best kept secret in rock and roll . . . and that’s just the way we like it. Those in the know make up a dedicated following that keeps coming back to enjoy experimental music in uncharted waters. This is the complete concert that was postponed from 10/30/10 to 12/4/10 and morphed from the Halloween show to the Nightmare Before Xmas. This evening with moe. highlights the psychedelic aspect of the band’s sound that fans of free range chicken will find particularly mindblowing. Five new songs were seamlessly mixed with some of moe.’s heavy hitters and melted down into an extended ambient jam. Take your time with this one. It is about the journey, not the destination.

YAKUZA – STONES & BONES

Yakuza is an avant-garde metal band, formed in Chicago in 1999. Using unusual instruments like the saxophone and clarinet, and incorporating free jazz, world music, and psychedelic music, Yakuza writes songs that are diverse and defy categorization. This Barking Chicken Production utilizes tracks from the last three albums: ‘Samsara’ (2006), ‘Transmutations’ (2007), and ‘Of Seismic Consequence’ (2010). This is a trip you should take.

DEATH ANGEL - RESURRECTION MACHINE

In 1987, a bunch of teenagers dubbed Death Angel burst out of the Bay Area thrash scene with ‘The Ultra-Violence’. Although their legendary status largely stems from their debut, they continued to mature, developing their sound on ‘Frolic Through The Park’ and finding it on ‘Act III’. Then things went awry. Heavy Metal in general, and especially Thrash, were knocked down by the one-two punch of Metallica’s sellout and Nirvana’s ascendance to the pulpit of teen angst. At about the same time, vocalist Mark Osegueda left the band. Otherwise, the lineup remained intact, and, led by guitarist Rob Cavestany, they changed their name to The Organization and produced two more albums in the style of ‘Act III’. A few years after this fizzled out, key Death Angel personnel Cavestany and Osegueda joined forces as Swarm. This reunion paved the way for the eventual reclaiming of the Death Angel moniker for 2004’s ‘The Art of Dying’. So, as the years went by, bands like OverKill, Megadeth and Anthrax marched forward with their brand despite losing important members. Meanwhile, the band formerly known as Death Angel toiled away largely intact, but failed to capitalize and build on their legendary status. This Barking Chicken Production rights that wrong and resurrects tracks released as The Organization and Swarm to take their rightful place alongside select Death Angel material. Perhaps having learned a lesson themselves, the band is not repeating past mistakes. There are less original members in the current incarnation of Death Angel than there were in The Organization or Swarm or at any other time in Death Angel’s history. Why not change the name again? Because that would be stupid.
