Tuesday Trivia: Playing break-up
The picture you see above is of a band called Nihilist, a Death Metal band from Sweden that formed in 1987. The four guys on the right are most famously known for being the original bandmembers of Entombed and the guy on the left is Johnny Hedlund, bassist and vocalist of Unleashed.
Nihilist broke up in 1989, but not without controversy. What the hell am I talking about? Well, make the jump to find out and read this week’s Tuesday Trivia.
17 years ago seems so far away
17 years ago, Pantera’s Far Beyond Driven went to #1 on the US Billboard 200 charts. Currently on #1 on said charts is Adele and I have absolutely no idea who that is but I think it’s safe to say, they (or she?) aren’t metal (it’s worth noticing that the Foo Fighters are on #2 and I absolutely view that as a great thing).
17 years ago, even Kurt Cobain was blown away by the sheer amount of quality metal albums that were released that year. In the year of 1994, many great (and now legendary) albums were released. Make the jump to see the highlights of 1994.
Video of the Week: Amon Amarth
Hooray, I got another category to torture you people with my favorite shit! Just like my other collumn, Weekly Dose of Metal, Video of the Week is a collumn to show you stuff you might not know about just yet. Instead of just posting songs, this one concentrates on music videos though. It will not only feature music videos but also live videos, which are videos with music, too, so they’re music videos to me!
As you can see, I chose a rather well known band for my first post though. There’s a simple reason for that: Amon Amarth own and ‘Guardians of Asgaard’ is not only one of my favorite songs off ‘Twilight of the Thunder God,’ but also has a metal-as-fuck video for it. The song and video features Lars Göran Petrov, frontman of Entombed.
Tuesday Trivia: Wolverine is metal
Look at that face. Doesn’t he look like he’s busting out some sweet growls? And isn’t Wolverine‘s skeleton made of adamantium anyway, thus making him officially more metal than anyone else, except Iron Man perhaps? But did you know there’s also something musically metal about him?
You know the drill, make the jump. And crank the volume up. You’re in for some… METAL WOLVERINE!
