The Metal Project: Every Metal song on Youtube that features "Metal" in the title, gathered in one place for your perusal.
Herewith the second part of our journey through the Metal songs of 2011. Some of it's good, some of it...isn't ...but one man's meat and all that. Enjoy.Antarion - La Caja De Metal (Colombia)
(Fairly typical Hispanic Trad Metal)
Honour to: antarionmetal
At Libitum - Heavy Metal Night (Mexico)
(Starts well but then the vocals come in...)
Honour to: PossessedByMetal
Bestial Hordes - Street Metal F***er (Malaysia)
(Relentless Black/Thrash with a filthy crusting of Punk)
Honour to: wtf666th
Bullet - Heavy Metal Dynamite (Sweden)
(Thankfully not the godawful German outfit from the 80s.
These guys are raucous acolytes of the Church of AC/DC
and play the sort of music that makes me wish
I had a tonne of beer in the house, no neighbours
and a living room full of strippers.)
Honour to: Seiferalamsy1125
Claustrofobia - Metal Maloka (Brazil)
(Angry, chugging Thrash - Sepultura comparisons inevitable)
Link: metalmaloka
Dexter Ward - Metal Rites (Greece)
(Relentless Old-school stuff. This is why I listen to Metal. Oh yes)
Honour: TheDavidRanogajec
Incidentally somebody managed to do a fan-vid that combines the above song
with two of my other great loves: Animation and Spitfires
Check it out:
Honour to: Joseczar
Gravehill - Hell Metal Holocaust (USA)
(Equally relentless but in a much harsher way)
Honour to: Jason Corpsemolester
Rampart - Metal Spell (Bulgaria)
(Trad Metal- or to put it another way, there's a definite 80s vibe going on here)
Honour to: hellraze2
And finally, another of those bands who managed to
put four or five "Metal" songs on the same CD.
Rocka Rollas - Warriors of Steel And Metal (Sweden)
(Rapid-fire Power/Trad Metal)
Honour to: irontalking
Ah.....memories!!
ReplyDeleteI see what you mean about Bullet; very reminiscent of AC/DC. Cool Metal Rites fan-vid...I like Dexter Ward, but am trying to figure out how a Greek metal band came up with that name? The rain in the opening of that Antarion song made me think of Black Sabbath. I wonder how many metal tracks include rainstorms? Might be something to look into. Finally, I think the singer for Ad Libitum is either a woman or a Mars Volta aficionado.
ReplyDeleteI looked into it. Apparently Dexter Ward is a character in a story by HP Lovecraft. So it probably involves a man messing with Dark Forces beyond his ken.
