Cryptic Writings is the seventh studio album by heavy meta l band Megadeth, released in June of 1997, with a remastered version released in 2004. An EP with instrumental versions of five of the songs was released the followed year.

"Use the Man" includes samples from the song "Needles and Pins" by The Searchers.
Continuing the trend from Youthanasia, Cryptic Writings features fewer songs critical of government and politics in favor of more personal songs. Megadeth's 1990s hard rock style also continues on this album.

Some songs, however, recall the band's '80s thrash metal days, while other songs, especially "I'll Get Even," demonstrate more creative styles. Even though this album is similar in style to Countdown to Extinction and Youthanasia, it is currently still the last Megadeth album to go platinum.
The first 500,000 copies of Cryptic Writings in The U.

S. were released with silver background album cover. These releases also included a Vic Rattlehead collectable card which promoted " The Cryptic Writtings Of Megadeth" 4- issue run by CHAOS!

comics. The latter U.S.

pressings features the same artwork with black background album cover. The black background album cover is also featured in the remasters.

The Soundhouse Tapes is an EP by Iron Maiden. The Soundhouse Tapes are the very first recordings of Iron Maiden. Released on 9th November 1979, it features three songs taken from the demo tape Spaceward.

The songs were recorded by the band on New Year's Eve 1978/79. The three tracks - "Prowler", "Invasion" and "Iron Maiden" - appear in rougher form than they would later be heard on the first Iron Maiden album and subsequent singles. The fourth song from the demo - "Strange World" - would also appear on Iron Maiden.

The song was not included in The Soundhouse Tapes because the band wasn't happy with the recording quality. The EP was extremely successful, selling all 6,000 copies of its intitial pressing by mail order in less than a week. This prompted EMI to offer the band an impressive, five album record deal.

The Soundhouse Tapes have been bootlegged several times, as well as being re-released by the band in full on the 4 LP vinyl version of the Best of the Beast box set, and spread over singles and the two CD version released around the same time.
The Soundhouse Tapes' title was taken from The Soundhouse club. This was a heavy metal disco run primarily out of the Prince of Wales pub in Kingsbury, North West London by NWOBHM pioneer Neal Kay.

Iron Maiden would play regular gigs at The Soundhouse and the venue was instrumental in gaining the band a wider following.

The Silent Force is the third studio album by the Dutch symphonic metal band Within Temptation, released on November 15, 2004, by GUN Records.

It was released as three versions: a basic version with jewel case and no booklet; a standard version with jewel case and an eight page booklet; and a premium version as a digipak with luxury artwork, enhanced CD-ROM content and two bonus tracks (see below).
Only two months after its release, the album reached Gold status in Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium and in mid-2005 also in Finland. Its predecessor album Mother Earth also reached Gold in Germany, reached Platinum in the Netherlands, and stayed in the German album charts for 30 weeks.

Enter is the first studio album from the symphonic metal band Within Temptation, released in 1997. Although this album shows off Sharon den Adel's voice, the band's guitarist Robert Westerholt provides gruff death metal growls too.

The album's style is very instrumental compared to the band's later works. Many of the tracks have instrumental vocals with no real lyrics. On several songs Westerholt provides growling (in contrast to the band's recent works where growling is no longer used).

The lyrics focus on death, darkness, hell, war, romance, emptiness and ghosts rather than love, nature and fantasy on later albums. The songs are much longer and slower and are generally more depressing. Indeed the album may be considered as gothic doom.

Lords of Acid is a Belgian acid house band from the 1990s that started as a spinoff of Praga Khan with the controversial New Beat single I Sit On Acid in 1988. Their debut album, 1990's Lust (along with the remix singles Rough Sex and I Must Increase My Bust) became famous within the electronic music and dance music communities for their outrageously sexual lyrics and sound samples - perhaps their most popular song, I Sit on Acid, begins with the a capella lyrics "Darling, come here / fuck me up the .

.." only to be interrupted with a grinding rave beat.

Their second album was Voodoo-U, which featured a more industrial sound. This was followed by Our Little Secret (1997), Heaven is an Orgasm (1998) and Expand Your Head (1999). In 2000 they released a more rock-influenced album entitled Farstucker and in 2003, after being in the business for 15 years, released a Greatest Hits album.

Their fans formed an online community called Children of Acid.
Lords of Acid also performed as Digital Orgasm, with a less sex-based and more rave-influenced sound.
