Screamin' Jay Hawkins Voodoo Jive




Screamin' Jay Hawkins' Voodoo Jive is a must have. If you haven't heard this crazyman do his thing then you haven't heard anything. Screamin' Jay Hawkins was one of the first shock-rockers ever and his amazing showmanship and wild singing talents still heavily influence many artists after so many years. "Frenzy" is one of my favorite songs of all time. Make sure to pick this one up & give it a listen.

Alice In Chains Dirt Special Edition



Alice In Chains' Dirt Special Edition is a must have for any Alternative, Metal or Alice In Chains fan. "Dirt" is likely the best AIC album ever released next to the "Jar Of Flies" EP. This album is full of great songs from beginning to end. I'm sure you've heard many of the songs already and if you are already familiar with the album, the Special Edition version has a few extras that the original did not have. Pick this up for sure.

Acid Bath - When The Kite String Pops




Acid Bath's When The Kite String Pops is an amazing psychedelic metal album with excellent dark and beautiful imagery and plenty of variation in each song through the entire album. Rotten Records has a gem in this one as Acid Bath are no more and will never be. Pick this one up and keep it around... even if you don't listen to it for a while. There is other material to be found by Acid Bath if you look hard enough too. They have a second album called "Paegan Terrorism Tactics" which is also amazing in every way. They have a DVD called "Acid Bath Double Live Bootleg" which can be found. Underground P2P, Torrent and other filesharing sites will always have other hard to find and rare bootleg performances in digital audio formats. If you keep an eye out you can find them. Pick this up and enjoy!
