As part of the monthly releases from the Wikimetal and Oporto da Música partnership , more classic rock and metal albums are arriving on the Brazilian market in new editions. Again, the releases include rare titles that were difficult to find in physical format and are now available on CD in Brazil with a slipcase.
The highlight this time is two albums by Badlands , a group formed by musicians who played with Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne . With a more hard rock sound and full of energy, they released the album Badlands and its sequel, Voodoo Highway , in 1991. Both albums are considered rarities, being unavailable even on digital platforms. Now released in CD slipcase, they are an indispensable addition to fans' collections: even before the release of these new editions, all units had sold out, requiring a new pressing for replacement.
Among the releases are also new titles from the discography of the legendary thrash metal group Testament . This time, the albums *Practice What You Preach* and *Souls of Black* , respectively the band's third and fourth albums, are being released. Last month, the releases included the band's first albums, considered classics of the genre.
Another addition is the album Demolition , by Judas Priest . Released in 2001, the album was the band's second and last project with vocalist Tim "Ripper" Owens, before Rob Halford's return to the group. And lastly, another Whitesnake joins the catalog: Come and Get It, from 1981 , in an edition with bonus tracks and remastered audio .
The releases are a joint initiative between Wikimetal and Oporto da Música, which continues to bring various titles to the Brazilian market monthly that were previously unavailable, and even some that had never been released in the country before. These new titles join numerous albums already released through the partnership, featuring bands such as Van Halen, Twisted Sister, Whitesnake, Metal Church, Overkill , and many others.
The albums are now available in major stores and online via Wikimetal Store .
