Spinal Tap - This Is Spinal Tap Soundtrack (1984)

The black cover, of course, is a reference to the album Smell The Glove from the movie. The funniest part of all is that a couple of these songs legitimately rock. Good British hard rock played by a bunch of American comedians.

Free speech for the dumb...

This is one of the last times Metallica did something that was really cool. You get covers from everyone from Discharge to the Misfits to Black Sabbath to Mercyful Fate to Nick Cave on here. Great tracklist. This is just disc one but I already posted a chunk of disc 2 some time back. Most of the songs here are pretty dark, perfect for Halloween. I know alot of people don't like Metallica but I always thought this album was great, so I posted it.

I'm freakin' out, man...

Still equal parts heavy and "what the fuck were they thinking?" to this day. Lots of music from this era sounds dated as fuck and this STILL sounds evil and heavy. It still feels like it's not quite the right time for this music, which makes it pretty awesome. I switched to Mediafire today, Megaupload was dickin' me around and I try to avoid the evil Rapidshare so I'll see how this works.

Good movie for Halloween time...

This one proved that Rob Zombie could write and direct fairly well. Haven't watched this one in a while and I went back to it because I generally watch even more horror movies than usual this time of year and I was watching it and I remember thinking "this movie is pretty badass". So here it is for your viewing pleasure.

Bought another copy of Zoso, seeds were bustin' up the spine...

That's right, that band who did that Space Lord song back in '99 or so had a whole slew of awesome albums before that one. Here's thier first one, some trippy but equally rockin' shit goin on here.

Isabelle's Gift - Grass Roots 91-09' (2009)

I posted the awesome American Idle from these fellas a while back. What you get with Isabelle's Gift is no bullshit, grungy, kinda stoner rock-ish hard fuckin' rock. This is a sort of promo/best of they put together. Check it out, and if you like it go to thier website and buy some shit, these guys are the real deal and deserve the fuck out of it. No bullshit, no filler, just honest rock and roll. Ok, so they have progressed a bit since the early 90s but they honestly have only gotten better and better. I couldn't resist posting this. I hope you like it because I love this shit.

To the wall, the preacher said...

And now for some definately NOT neo thrash. These fellas ought to be ashamed, especally guitarist Andreas Kisser for totally ruining thier awesome name in the extreme metal world and sucking nowadays.

Morbid symmetry...

Some more neo thrash for your ass. These fellas don't fuck around. Reminds me a little bit of old Metallica, which is definately not a bad thing.

Devil on the left, an angel on the right...

Danzig - III: How The Gods Kill (1992)

The first four solo Danzig albums are classic. The band he had on those four records was the right band for the right time, they played so tightly together it was unbelievable. I posted the first two, so here's Danzig III. It's the same kind of heavy blues with that unmistakable Danzig voice, but this one just felt a little darker.

Holy fuck...

I thought that Tafkata rekkid was pretty awesome so I went and checked out some of the gyus' former band Enewetak. Brutal, sludgy, kick your head in, wake up in the gutter shit here, the guitars get a little deathy/black once in a while but it stays nice and sludgy. It all makes for one interesting and heavy listen.

Left hand path...

If I am not mistaken this is Entombed's first recording. Awesome Swedish death metal. The "and roll" part of the equasion would come later. It's still the same band but they were a little wet behind the ears and fucking pissed off at something/someone. And I'm glad because this shit is brutal.

Old school...

Kreator proved that Germans could thrash pretty fucking well too. This shit is like an insane, fast, straight out of hell, on crystal meth version of thrash fucking metal.

And in my head I'm going southbound...

I used to listen to this one alot back in the high school days.This is the point where Vision Of Disorder got really experimental. Instead of being just hardcore this sounds, literally, like they moved out to the desert with alot of drugs and a couple of Black Sabbath records and not much more. I definately get that tripped out "desert" vibe from it, way different than thier early stuff but Tim William's awesome sounding vocals still anchor the whole thing down in that familiar way. I know alot of the fans really didn't care for this one but I loved it. It brings back alot of memories and teenage angst and all that, and it's pretty damn heavy.

I could go for a cold, refreshing Pabst Blue Ribbon right now...

Saviours - Accelerated Living (2009)

Drawing from influences all over the metal/hard rock spectrum, Saviours put it all in a talented blender and make that shit work. Theres traces of everything from NWOBHM, to thrash to stoner rock in here but it doesn't really sound like any of those either if that makes sense. The end result is refreshing, heavy and awesome. The guitars gallop, there are countless guitar solos, harmonizing, crescendos, something for everyone. Definately one of my favorite releases of the year and I don't even know if it's physically out yet. I just found out they were on the Saint Vitus tour, now I'm twice as pissed I didn't get to see it.

The end complete...

There's nothing like old school Florida death metal.

Hellbound...

I don't know much about these fellas exept they hail from Massachusetts and are a part of that whole new wave of thrash thing which I love. Thrashy, heavy, slightly groovin' stuff going on here. Reminds me alot of Lazarus A.D. who are fucking awesome.

Jam time...

Whoever put this video together rocks.

New trip...

Stoner rock is kinda hit or miss for me. When it's good it's good but there's plenty of mediocrity out there. I listened to this cd for the first time in a long time though and I started remembering just why I like this band in the first place. First thing you notice is the guitar tone, it is perfect, flawless. Then the vocals, this guy has one hell of a voice, and the way the guitars and the vocals and everything else line up is perfect. You also get endless guitar solo after endless guitar solo, soulful vocals and serious songwriting chops seldom seen these days in rock and roll all converging to make one hell of a rock rekkid.

When the screams come...

Bobby Liebling is the man. I posted the Relentless record a while back, so I figured i'd post this. Gotta get your doom on once in a while.
