The Metal Project is my quest to find every single metal song on Youtube that has "Metal" in the title.
By my reckoning I'm about three posts away from hitting the 1000 song mark. Wow.Anyway, here's a selection of songs, chosen at random and presented for your perusal. Enjoy.
Dekapitator - Hell's Metal (USA 1999)
(Rampaging Thrash )
Midnight Sun- Metal Machine (Sweden 2001)
(Very definitely from the more melodic end of the spectrum.
The lead singer went on to front The Poodles which might explain why they sound so similiar.)
Honour to: ProgPower
Angry Angels - Metal Crusaders (Austria 1999)
(Unrelenting 80s Teutonic Metal)
Honour to: DescentOfMadness
Mighty Thor - Hermanos Del Metal (Mexico 2008)
(Anthemic & melodic Trad Metal)
Honour to: 6candia6metal6
Shellshock - Screaming For Metal (Norway 1988-ish)
(Has that heads-down NWOBHM vibe to it.)
Honour to: heavymetaller1978
Sweet Roxx - (You Can Be involved In A) Metal Massacre (USA 1984)
(Somewhere in between 80s LA Glam and 80s US Metal)
Honour to: mulletaimer
Quintessenz - Okkult Metal Spell (Germany 2012)
(Punky Black/Thrash a la Venom)and finally
Lords Of The Trident - The Metal Sea (USA 2011)
(A sort of trad metal sea shanty and works quite well.)Band homepage: http://www.lordsofthetrident.com/
Entertaining band. Go check them out.
That's all folks
You manage to dig up so many cool bands, Big D. How did I get through the 80s and miss out on Sweet Roxx? Oh, that's right, it was the 80s :-D Out of all of these selections, I like the Lords of the Trident the best. I need to show my sons this post to see if they're familiar with any of these bands; they are big Opeth fans. Gotta love that Scandinavian metal. The opening for Angry Angels is very Black Sabbath-esque, which reminds me...Sabbath's new album is coming out soon!
ReplyDeleteAlways get a kick out of those covers.

Yeah, I like it BigD.
Sort of Pogue Zepplin.
