10 Metal genres in 3 minutes
Ever wondered what 10 sub-genres of Metal would sound like if they were all crammed together in just one, 3 minute original Metal track? No me neither, but the results are pretty damn nice if you ask me. It’s like having midget, mature, teen, asian, soft hardcore pr0n all combined into one film. One word… Epic.
Well ok, I’m exaggerating a bit, but it’s still a fairly interesting piece of music. The track is an original composition and combines everything from Thrash to Death, to Metalcore to Black Metal. And thankfully, the creator was nice enough to omit Nu-Metal. The intro reminds me of Skid Row‘s Youth Gone Wild, but don’t worry, it improves after that.
Metal wake-up service
Good morning. It’s 8 in the morning, where I’m at. I don’t know where you’re at, how could I but it must be morning somewhere else aswell. And if it’s not morning, where you’re at, at the moment, maybe it’s in the middle of the night and when you wake up, you find this shit attempt of an article and wonder just what the fuck that idiot wrote there.
So anyhow, I decided not to go to sleep a couple of hours ago because I don’t have to work until Wednesday so here I am, waiting for the supermarket next door to open, so I can buy a couple of cans of Red Bull. Or any other energy drink for that matter. And is there a better way to keep yourself awake than listening to some of the heaviest shit you got in your iTunes playlist? No. So I wondered, just what is the heaviest shit I got in my playlist?
Make the jump for the heaviest Metal I got to offer, all in alphabetical order or, as I’d like to call it, the Monday Morning Metal list.
Incoming: Debauchery
Debauchery is a German Groove/Death Metal band that started in 2000 and released six albums so far, played with some of the biggest bands of the Death genre and made frontman Thomas Gurrath lose his day job.
Meet Debauchery, a band that still gets unfairly called a Six Feet Under rip-off, after the jump.
Dose of Death
Why the cheesy image? Because I don’t take myself seriously, and neither should you. Welcome to my weekly feature where I’m normally drunk and/or hungover, and write some garbage about music in a way that makes me sound more knowledgeable than I really am. Or maybe I just fail at that..
The topic for this week: Death Metal. Admittedly, not my favorite genre, but one that fascinates me all the same. Death Metal is an extreme sub-genre of Metal (no, really?) that began in America (particularly Florida) in the 1980s. But I’m not fucking Wikipedia and this isn’t no history lesson, I’m just here for the music, and so should you be, so get your Death dosage after the jump. Don’t worry, an overdose won’t lead to death. Only awesomeness.
Incoming: Hackneyed
In 2006 four kids from Germany, the youngest being 13 and the oldest being 17 years old, decided to start a band.
Within the next three years, this bunch grew from kids playing music together into a Death Metal band, that released two albums on one of the most respected Heavy Metal labels worldwide.
Meet Hackneyed after the jump.
