METAL - enter @ your own risk

Will finish up my Destruction run with what is probably their most identifiable song, Curse The Gods. Personally my #2 (behind United By Hatred) all time favorite Destruction crusher. Sticking with the original recording over the '07 re-recorded version. The re-record is much heavier and crunchier, but the original just has a quicker feel to it. An amazing intro to this song, but the great part is from 5:25 to the end. That iconic riff, which actually was the first speed metal riff that I realized, hey, you don't have to play 1000 miles per hour with your pick hand to put together a thrash song. Just a groovy, catchy riff with intense speed metal drumming from the original stick man, Tommy. Great stuff !

One of the 'unknown' classics from the great ones. Super simple, super solid punishing speed metal song from the early, early days. Always one of my favorite Metallica tunes, glad they bring it out on tour nowadays.

An old school classic crusher here from Anthrax. Not a whole lot from the Anthrax library I can really get into, but this one is their heaviest imo. Much prefer this vocalist (John Bush I think) over Joey Belladonna, whose vocals I never cared for much in the first place.

Great one here, I Am The Law !

[Marshall]

Now that's some old school stuff right there ! Can kind of hear how Belladonna tried to do his best "turbin" style wise. Never heard him sing before, but after listening to some of those cuts, Belladonna definitely drew on that style.

Gotta love Scott Ian, other than Hetfield, the heaviest/grooviest rhythm player in hardcore without a doubt.

ahhhh...the memories...had so much fun listening to anthrax and SOD...

heres some nuclear assault...cool stuff...they never got the production(budget)to make the album they could have...
i like the feel of this band....sounds like they were having a good time.

[Marshall]

Ya, Nuclear Assault and a lot of other bands got left behind when Metallica and Slayer hit it big. Just seemed like the big 4 dominated and that was it.

Here's a band that has a cult following. Guitar sound a little too weak and punk for me, but some decent tunes. This one is pretty tough, has a bridge a few times in it that's cool, from 1:30-1:50 and 2:45-3:05. One of those where the riff doesn't change but the drums pick up the beat from groovy to thrash, ala Shadows Of a Lost Dream by Coroner. Love those.

i remember hearing the "Rrröööaaarrr" album(the record...on vinyl)for the first time...i was confused...it was horrible.
if you would have told me then that voivod would have gone on to make like 20 albums i would have laughed in your face...

 

[way2tense]

Nice post brother, heard of them but never really listened to their stuff.

Here's a hard rock, not metal post, but thought it was good to throw in the mix. Some serious song writing going on here !

bobby still killing it...gotta be in his sixties???

[Marshall]

Pretty good/heavy tune. Ya man, Blitz is a metal warrior, I mean it would literally take a calculator to figure out how many times that dude has been out onstage. Can you imagine? I wonder if he has a pot to piss in so to speak? Never a real big fan of his voice, but have to give credit where credit is due.

 

[Marshall]

Nice remaster here of a classic album. This song to me is one of the greatest unknown classics from the golden era of hardcore.

Massive growling guitar sound, upbeat tempo and from 2:35-3:50 they do Sabbath better than Sabbath !
