The Metal Project is my attempt to track down every song on Youtube with "Metal" in the title.
Keeps me out of mischief.
The year 2001 saw more of the same. Linkin Park and Slipknot were the rising stars of Nu-Metal, Judas Priest followed up the tuneless "Jugulator" with the much better "Demolition" and the inaugral Bloodstock festival was created as a vehicle for all those European Metal bands most UK promoters refused to touch.
On a personal note, I finally got to see Savatage live!
I think we've got a fairly varied selection this time around. Enjoy.
Let's start with these Canadian survivors nailing their colours to the mast.
Anvil - Real Metal (Canada)
Honour to: Bassett1995
Wizard - Black Heavy Metal (Finland)
Honour to: Christcrusher1
This next one is...odd.
Naglfar -Fat, Old Heavy Metal Mama (Norway)
Honour to:labruja666
See what I mean?
Time for some Spanish Power Metal
Muro- Corazon De Metal (Spain)
And from that to some unhinged Japanese Black/Thrash mayhem.
These guys also wrote a song called "Dick is F***ing Big"
Does that tell you all you need to know?
I love the floaty synths on this next one.
If Vangelis or Jean-Michel Jarre had a go at Prog-Metal it might sound a bit like this.
Ambeon - Cold Metal (Netherlands)
And now something a bit more Trad - but with a few flourishes.
Khafra- Caja De Metal (Mexico)
This next one sounds like something one of the thrashier NWOBHM bands might have come up with.
It's two tracks for the price of one, incidentally.
Demonax - Play That Metal Mean/Authority (USA)
If you like The Poodles you might like this next track
Midnight Sun - Metal Gods (Sweden)
Honour to: bambosz
For those of you who thought that last one was too poppy...
Have some of this
Nargaroth - Posessed By Black F****ing MEtal (Germany)
Honour to: JosefFritzlRecords
And that's it for now.
See you next time.
Wow, I had no idea how narrow my heavy musical tastes are. Thank you for the eye opener and the enjoyable musical ride. I like the multicultural approach.
