(Kayos) Not to attach any undue significance to the March 13 release of November Rain In Paradise City, an unauthorized biographical documentary DVD of Guns N’ Roses, but Locomotive Records will also spill beer (re-releasing Tankard’s 2000 Kings Of Beer on March 13), transmit a virus (by releasing Heavenly’s all-new second album, Virus, on March 13), ultimately resulting in World Chaos on March 13 (a re-release of the 1990 Holy Moses album). Never has the metal community gone through so much drama in one day.
The November Rain In Paradise City DVD chronicles the rise, fall and rise of L.A.’s most controversial band, Guns N’ Roses. Many saw them as the band that rescued hard rock from its 1988 doldrums. Singer Axl Rose was seen as the second coming of Jim Morrison due to his habit of making his audiences believe anything could happen when he was on stage. Although they never again reclaimed that mantle past their debut, the band had a strong run for the first few years of the 1990s.
Germany’s Tankard doesn’t mess around. They’re slobs and they know it. They revel in it. They’re proud of it. They’re also one hell of a valid thrash band and the reissue of Kings Of Beer from 2000 proves it.
With their second album, Virus, France’s Heavenly stakes its claim to Power Metal validity. Influenced by Gamma Ray as much as Helloween, Heavenly, on its sophomore effort, proves its metal mettle.
One of the best thrash albums of 1990 had to be World Chaos from Sabina and her crew of headbanging monster-musicians, known collectively as Holy Moses. They had already been around for 10 years at that point. This was the album that changed their career. World Chaos defined the sound for which Holy Moses was to become famous for.
