Nasty dogs and funky kings...

I haven't posted any badass classic rock in a while.

Hechmen ride...

Here is the latest from old school thrash mongers Testament. I don't know how this one escaped my clutches from getting uploaded for so long, it's just as good as anything they did in the early days and I saw them this year on the Formation Of Damnation tour and they sounded just as good as ever (although the concert could have been a little louder, just sayin'...)

Hey Gordy, give me a shot...

Keeping with the crossover block, I had to post this one. 24 years later and the same disclaimer still applies: don't take this shit too seriously or you might hurt yourself or someone else.

Life of dreams...

Awesome crossover from NYC. Gary Meskill would later go on to form Pro Pain.

Feeling kinda crossover today...

Casue I'm not the living, you soon will be giving...

Awesome compilation of Pentagram's Death Row era. Technically at the time they were even called Death Row but would eventually re-adopt the Pentagram moniker. Disc one is all live recordings, some songs have been later released, and some not: i.e. the awesome and heavy Committed To Vengeance. The live tracks are pretty decent recordings and sound great. The second disc however is all demos and while you get some cool Black Sabbath covers the quality is pretty bad. For my money I'd say go with disc one, but if you are a completest check out the second one too.

You tell me where I can go and I betcha that I'll see you there...

Another one of my all time favorites. There's a reason why I have this:

With no apologies shown or demonologies known...

As much as I like Down, I really hope they go on hiatus so it's respective members can go back to thier other bands. We need new Corrosion Of Conformity, Crowbar, Eyehategod, and hell, a new Superjoint Ritual wouldn't be too bad either. This is the most recent from Corrosion Of Conformity, it was a little more experimental than the usual stoner metal affair I grew to expect from them but still just as awesome.

"All we represent to them, man, is someone who needs a haircut..."

I don't know much about these fellas but I can tell you they play some seriously good sludge. The riffs are heavy and groovin', theres tons of heavy breakdowns and memorable parts throughout.

None heavier...

Here's the most recent from Crowbar for the dude who calls himself Housecore. I'll get more up yet, don't worry.

Now playing: Tafkata - Shout At The Gates
via FoxyTunes

Don't let the name throw you off...

Before they were a horridly mediocre corporate rock entity, Soil used to rock. Throttle Junkies was thier first full-length and it is full of loud crunchy guitars, a nice grunge influenced sound and some serious songwriting chops and swagger all done real honestly and well. I don't know who to compare it to, it's pretty original. It really doesn't sound anything like thier later stuff.

Live free and burn...

"Why are you doing this, Lemmy?"

El Rojo...

The Bakerton Group is Clutch's insturmental, jazzy, tripped out alter ego. I think the time and energy put into this would be better focused on Clutch but they are definately two completely different animals. Surprisingly most of these songs would definately NOT work as Clutch songs.

Cruising in a high speed G.T.O....

White Wizzard - High Speed G.T.O. (2009)

You'll swear its 1985 while listening to this old school style heavy metal.

A monolith of sorts...

Shrinebuilder - Shrinebuilder (2009)

Shrinebuilder is a doom metal "supergroup" made up of Scott Kelly of Neurosis, Al Cisneros from the bands Sleep and OM, Scott "Wino" Weinrich from The Obsessed, Saint Vitus etc. etc., and Dale Crover of the Melvins.

Hard rain fallin'...

In the dark ages before there really was heavy metal there was Sir Lord Baltimore. They came from Brooklyn, NY sometime in the early 70s and totally laid the foundation. Not since Sabbath did a band come out this ferocious heavy and gnarly sounding. Wall of guitars, vocals sung by a maniac, boogie woogie riffs, endless guitar solos, fuzzed over, distorted/awesome guitar sound... It's all here.

Rabid dogs...

I love all stages of Corrosion Of Conformity's career. Eye For An Eye is totally uncomprimising snot nosed hardcore with a metallic tinge. This record is mean and dirty sounding.
