Skyclad - Folkemon

Chips are down and stakes are high,
Milk-shake minds are sucked bone dry.
If their fiendish schemes should fail,
They'll smoke us all - but not inhale!














Artist: Skyclad
Album: Folkemon (2000)
Genre: Folk Metal
Official Site: http://www.skyclad.co.uk/index.html/

Skyclad are hailed as the creators of the Folk Metal genre. The British band was originally formed by Sabbat vocalist Martin Walkyier and Pariah guitarist Steve Ramsey as a sort of one-album project, but soon evolved into one of the greatest metal bands around. The group underwent many line-up changes in the beginning of their career, but they've pulled together. This album marks the last in which Walkyier is on vocals before he went on to form The Clan Destined. This is Skyclad's Folkemon. Notable tracks include The Great Brain Robbery, Polkageist, and When God Logs-Off.

Tracklist:
1. The Great Brain Robbery - (4:34)
2. Think Back and Lie of England - (4:59)
3. Polkageist - (4:02)
4. Crux of the Message - (4:53)
5. The Disenchanted Forest - (7:11)
6. The Antibody Politic - (3:19)
7. When God Logs-Off - (3:09)
8. You Lost My Memory - (5:57)
9. Deja-Vu Ain't What It Used To Be - (5:46)
10. Any Old Irony? - (3:53)
11. Swords of a Thousand Men - (2:48)

Message #4

Some tracks that I upload contain characters in the titles that won't allow me to upload the albums as .zip files. For these albums, I turn them into .rar files as opposed to .zip files. This means that, should you come across one of these .rar albums, you'll have to use WinRAR to extract it.

If you do not have WinRAR on your computer, you can get it from http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm by selecting your language. After that, just install the file, and you'll be able to extract .rar files as easily as you would .zip files.

Hope this helps!

Kiko Loureiro - No Gravity














Artist: Kiko Loureiro
Album: No Gravity (2005)
Genre: Power Metal
Official Site: http://www.kikoloureiro.com.br/

Brazilian-born Kiko Loureiro is most famously known for his work as the guitarist for Brazilian Progressive Power Metal group Angra. Although Andre Matos took the rhythm section of Angra with him when he departed from the group to create Shaaman, Kiko Loureiro rebuilt the group and began releasing albums again as Angra. Most people do not know, however, that Loureiro has his own solo albums as well. The guitarists' incredible skill is evident on his two solo albums, both of which are purely instrumental. This is his first solo album, No Gravity. If you're a fan of Angra or Power Metal in general, I suggest you get these albums. Notable tracks include Escaping, La Force de L'âme, and Beautiful Language.

Tracklist:
1. Enfermo - (4:02)
2. Endangered Species - (5:10)
3. Escaping - (5:35)
4. No Gravity - (4:23)
5. Pau-De-Arara - (7:01)
6. La Force De L'âme - (4:33)
7. Tapping Into My Dark Tranquility - (2:12)
8. Moment of Truth - (4:30)
9. Beautiful Language - (2:00)
10. In a Gentle Way - (5:34)
11. Dilemma - (4:13)
12. Feliz Desilusão - (3:39)
13. Choro de Criança - (1:11)
