The Metal Project: A Metal Miscellany

The Metal Project: The internet's biggest collection of  Heavy Metal songs with "Metal" in the title. 

   Since I can't think of any kind of theme for the moment, let's just pull out a few things at random and lob them at your face.  Enjoy.


I'll start with a song that just missed getting into the 2012 posts by a whisker.

Brave - Heavy Metal (Brazil 2012)

(Rampaging Power Metal)

Hitman - Metal Sport (USA 1988)

( Worth a listen if you like NWOBHM -tinted US Metal)
Honour to: Daemonja81

 Chapel Grove - Gun Metal Grey Sky (USA 2011) 

(Stoner/grunge with a bit of Sabbath groove )
Honour to: ChapelGroveBand

Maltese Falcon - Metal Rush (Denmark 1984)

(Fast and cheerfully unsubtle - 80s style.)
 Honour to; crgreyf

Vae Victis - Black F***ing Thrash Metal (Germany 2008)

(You don't really need me to tell you what you're going to get, do you?)
Honour to: Mikazukinoyaiba

Icaro - Muerte Al Falso Metal (Argentina 2005)

(Is it just me that thinks the intro bears a  passing 
resemblance to Priest's "The Sentinel"?
The song itself is a decent slice of trad that should get your head nodding)
Honour to: Angel Dorado

Rising - Metal Bird (Sweden 1982)

(Vikings doing NWOBHM - and rather well at that.)
Honour to: dev3n

I was slightly surprised at how many songs share this exact same title.
I suppose I shouldn't be.

Executioner - Metal Up Your Ass (USA 1985)

(Thrash from a band that later morphed into 
Death Metal monsters Obituary)
 Honour to: hassanumer999

Sacred Steel - Metal Reigns Supreme (Germany 1997)

(Vocals take a bit of getting used to but the rest is good, honest headbanging fare.)
Honour to; saviorofthevoid


And lastly, something a bit different, proving that
you can  combine Metal with anything

 Bonehead vs Prince Ov Darkness - Pedal To The Metal (NLD-2008?)

(Speedcore/Gabber challenging Thrash Metal to a fight.)
Honour to: sLy1245

That's all for now folks.
See you next time for more metal mayhem and hopefully a few pleasant surprises.

  1. Have often wondered about those Scandinavian groups BigD; seems to often be some identity thing going on. I mean...
    Metal Rush (Denmark 1984), doing the album `Maltese Falcon'(?)

    Nice to see the US heavy metal scene keeping it honest though- Executioner doing `Metal Up Your Ass' (USA 1985)

    Cheers, ic
