The Metal Project: Heavy Metal Heaven

The Metal Project: Heavy Metal Songs About Metal, gathered in one place.

  My last collection of songs was, I have to admit, quite a harsh listening experience so today I'm going to go for stuff that's a wee bit more melodic. You'd be surprised at how much Heavy Metal is actually quite singalong.
  Relatively speaking.
 Enjoy.

 Majesty - Metal Union (Germany 2013)

(Manowaresque "Hail Metal" Anthem)
Honour to: b3rgaz

Lawless - Heavy Metal Heaven (UK 2013)

(A band that just went on my "Investigate further" list. 
Catchy & melodic.
And they're British!)
Honour to: Dromedarius

I don't post many ballads so this next one is a bit of a novelty.

Terasbetoni - Metallisydan (Finland 2005)

(Stirring, "Lighters in the air" Power Ballad)
Honour to: kechrin

Rocka Rollas - Riding The Metal Storm (Sweden 2012)

(Uptempo and catchy Power Metal)
Honour to: Nergal135

Sorcerer's Spell - Jagermeister Metal (UK 2012)

(Bloody hell. Another British band!
A catchy ditty about the infamous liquer)
Honour to: SorcerersSpell

What the hell. Let's have another British band.

Battleaxe - Movin' Metal Rock (UK 1984)

(NWOBHM)
Honour to: DieLiebeNerthus

And finally...

Reckless Love - I Love Heavy Metal (Finland 2013)

(A poppy, Leppardesque hymn to 80s Glam Metal)
Honour to: Sam Logan

That's all folks.

  1. Haha. Those whacky Finns! With my second visit to Helsinki just last year, was quite taken with the hold Metal actually has there.
    Must be those long, dark winters. Well done BigD.
    Cheers, ic

    1. The impression I get is that Metal is a lot more mainstream over there. Might explain why they sent metal bands to Eurovision twice!

  2. I'm tempted to nominate Rush for the melodic genre, but I can only think of Caress of Steel, and I know what a stickler you are for metalness.
    Also, and I think I may have mentioned this before, what about Metal Rendezvous by Krokus, that has Tokyo Nights which is quite melodic.
    Or aren't album titles permitted?

    I'd be no bloody good at this would I?

    1. I have to admire your taste in tunes. Rush and Krokus are both bands I like a lot.
      I just might do album titles one day. I've got to run out of songs eventually...
