Andy Riyana - His Collection

Andy Riyana sent us awesome pictures of his collection. I can't wait to see more of his piece of arts!! Just take a look for yourself!

He is an Australian/Indonesian collector and also very passionate one. You can see he focus on very limited editions and have a great taste for his bands! Fan of European Power Metal Bands, we can all agree that his choice couldn't be better.

He has been collecting for 15 years! Lets hope he will show us more of his amazing collections

Kama - Magic Kingdom - Metallic Tragedy

This is a great and amazing band. Dushan Petrossi, the main guitarrist and mastermind, is a great musician. You can tell he is heavily inspired by Malmsteen by hearing his neoclassical lines in either the guitar and the keyboards.

This is a very symphonic album and features two great vocalists, Max Leclercq (ex-Fairyland) and Oliver Hartmann (ex-At Vance, Avantasia, etc). The guitars are as expected, fast, heavy, melodic, virtuoso, etc. And the title track is like a metal opera with many different singers, although not something like Avantasia or Aina, each singer using a different vocal technic, from black to death metal, from soprano to falsetto. It's great!

Plus this is a Limb Records digipak, so you know what to expect: high quality glossy paper, amazing artwork and goodies like a poster, sticker, liner notes in the booklet (I just LOVE that!) and, of course, a bonus track and a video.

Gotta love Limb right?

Leonardo Gabriel - Xystus

Well, Xystus is a Dutch band, which features a symphonic metal of excellent quality, especially in the last album "Equilibrio", with the participation of the singer Simone Simons. I can say that a band is wronged. I say this lack of knowledge around the world. [Netherlands - 1999]

We will see a little of their work.

Leonardo Gabriel - Heavenly

Heavenly is one of my favorite bands, no doubt. I know about the band since 2003. The combination of Power Metal + Ben Sotto's voice was just perfect. There are 5 great albums! [France - 1994]

Leonardo Gabriel - Aquaria

The Brazilian band Aquaria (my compatriots) released only two albums so far, what are they: Luxaeterna (2005) and Shambala (2007). 5 years have passed so far ...
Their sound is in line of Symphonic Power Metal, based on brazilian folklore. I bought their second album at an incredible price! =)

Kama - Rammstein - Völkerball

This digipak was such a find.... I remember as if was yesterday when I entered the shop and the guy had just received a pile of a Rammstein collection from someone who just sold it to him... I went there to buy something else, I don't even remember and when he grabbed this digipak I asked if I could see it. Then I asked if it was for sale and how much was it, the guy took it from my hands, took a look and said "Hm... R$50,00..." and I replied "Sold."

Some days laters I found out this digipak was worth at least R$120, R$150 in other stores! Ok it's used but it doesn't matter! One of the gems in my collection.

How to display your collection and rarities

Hello everyone! Welcome to our humble website.
