The Metal Project: 2004

  Hello again. Moving on through the first decade of the 21st century we arrive at a year people remember for all the wrong reasons. Because on December 8 2004 ex-Pantera guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbot, playing a show with his new band Damageplan, was murdered onstage.
   In other news, Metallica were the subject of the documentary "Some Kind Of Monster" - depicting the fallout from Jason Newsted's departure, James Hetfield's stint in rehab and the making of critically-hammered album "St.Anger."
 Anyway, on with the music. And thanks to one of those flukes, it mostly leans towards the nastier end of the envelope.
This first track is somewhat harsh. You may like that sort of thing. 
Note that the drummer really gets into it.

  1. Murdered onstage? Man, that's horrible! I can't believe I don't remember hearing about it. Cool tunes, BTW. Not exactly what I listen to daily, but interesting. :)

    1. I'm not going to pretend that Pantera was a band I ever really followed but I don't think there was a metalhead in the entire world that wasn't horrified when it happened.
