The Metal Project: 2010 (Part One)

The Metal Project: In which one man attempts to discover just how many Metal songs on Youtube actually have "Metal in the title. 

The answer is: Quite a lot.

 Welcome to the first post of 2013. When I started doing this I honestly didn't expect to find so many songs. Nor did I expect  to enjoy so many of them.

  2010 saw the deaths of Ronnie James Dio and Slipknot bassist Paul Gray. It also saw an unfortunate onstage incident in the Czech Republic that led to the death of a fan.  Daniel Nosek was thrown from the stage by Lamb Of God singer Rand Blythe and subsequently died of his injuries.  The case would finally go to court in 2012.
  The other big event of the year was the "Big 4" of thrash playing the Sonisphere festival roaming across Europe, the first time Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax had ever shared a bill. UK fans would get to witness this the next year. 
 Sticking with festivals, we had another new arrival: The Classic Rock magazine-sponsored "High Voltage" in London. Headlined by ZZ Top and Emerson, Lake and Palmer the varied lineup included Gary Moore, Venom, Black Label Society, UFO, Opeth, Hammerfall and the remaining members of Heaven and Hell, playing a tribute to Ronnie James Dio with the help of guest vocalists.  

And now for some music. Since I have a bumper crop to choose from I shall split this post into three chunky chunks of metal chunkiness. 

Altar Of Sin - Metal Massacre (Spain)

(Let's start with something thrashy to blow away the cobwebs)
Honour to: xcaligula666x

Steel Maid - Metal War (Germany)

(Hands up anybody else expecting a female singer?)
Honour to: TimeDilationSteel

Blood Pollution - Metal Zombies (Russia)

(Bit of a punky vibe to this one, methinks.)
Honour to: Pookythegreat

Riotor - Metal Oath (Canada) 

(Manic Thrash from Quebec)

Honour to: Liamfra22

Horrifier - True Metal Never Rusts (USA)

(Another bunch of 80s throwbacks. I have no problem with this. The 80s were awesome.)
Honour to: Dimitris2212

Combat Noise - Cuba Death Metal (Cuba)

(Possibly the first band from Cuba I've ever posted.)

Honour to; liahocinatas
 I found out about these guys here: http://cubarockmetal.blogspot.co.uk/
Worth checking out  if you like discovering new scenes. 
 

Alexis Birds of Prey - Metallizer II (Chile)

(Something tells me these guys quite like the "Painkiller" album)
 Honour to: Dimitris2212

And Finally

Sabaton - Metal Ripper (Sweden)

(In which the war-loving Swedes pay tribute to some legends. 
Each line in the lyrics is from a metal classic. Rather clever, really.)

That's it for now. Expect more from 2010 soon.
