Transform (Powerman 5000 Album)
''Transform'' is the fourth studio album by American rock band Powerman 5000, released May 20, 2003. It is an enhanced CD that includes the videos for "Free" and "Action", the album's two singles. Musical and visual style ''Transform'' marked, both musically and visually, an obvious change from Powerman 5000's previous science fiction theme. Recording began in July 2002 and saw the band composed songs in a simpler, more straightforward manner with less emphasis on industrial metal and nu metal elements and heaviness. The video for its lead single, "Free", also demonstrated the band's visual stylistic detour; rather than space costumes, the majority of band members are dressed in denim while performing in a red room covered in graffiti, creating a colorful, punk rock influenced edge. The album artwork contains symbols reminiscent of the Amphisbaena. Adorning the CD artwork are four two-headed arrows wrapped back pointing at each other, the outermost one sprouting two extra arro ...

Take A Bite
''Take a Bite'' is the seventh studio album by British heavy metal band, Girlschool, released by GWR Records in 1988. It is the first album to feature Tracey Lamb on bass, replacing Gil Weston-Jones. Overview ''Take a Bite'' was recorded at a very low time for Girlschool because, despite the very good reviews for the previous album ''Nightmare at Maple Cross'', they had not succeeded in regaining the fan base support in the UK which they had in the early 80s and they could not improve the sales of their album worldwide for the lack of a US release. The band had hoped to record the new album with their long-time producer Vic Maile, who was not available because of his illness. The album was instead produced by Monty Python's collaborator André Jacquemin at Redwood Studios, which are co-owned by Jacquemin and actor Michael Palin, member of the British comedy group Monty Python. The same studios had been utilised by Motörhead to record their album ''Rock 'n' Roll'' the year befo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
