The Metal Project: Metal Over Mind

The Metal Project - Metal songs about "Metal" - Metal Gods, Metal Massacres, Metal Hamsters or even just "Heavy Metal"   You get the idea. 

 I've been doing this for almost two years now and I'm not even close to running out of songs. I doubt I ever will. Right about now, I guarantee there's a bunch of hairy kids in a garage somewhere practicing their new song "Metal Attack"  It could be Germany. Could be Botswana. Could be China. They are out there and if the song ever gets onto Youtube I'll find it and post it here.

  Anyway, today's selection is selected purely at random. I hope you find something to like. Enjoy.

Acid Witch - Metal Movie Marijuana Massacre Meltdown (USA 2010)

(Sludgey rumblings with a real groove to it.)  

Seven Witches - Metal Tyrant (USA 2002)

(Crunchy US Power Metal)
Honour to: Ruth Gonzalez

Legado De Judas - Hijos De Metal  (Bolivia 2012)

(Rough and ready Power/Thrash)
Honour to: sergioledez666

Blind Vengeance - Metal Over Mind (Canada 1985)

(I can't quite work out who they remind me of. One of the crunchier Neat Records bands, maybe?)
 Honour to: deadhorse99

And now, a subgenre I don't think I've ever posted before.
UnBlack Metal
(Christian Black Metal, basically.)

Suspiria Profundis - Holy Unblack Metal (Italy 2009)

(Harsh and ponderous. Definitely not "Songs Of Praise" material)
Honour to: Antonio Carlos

Morningstar - Metal Fever (FInland 2002)

(80s-sounding Trad Metal)
Honour to: metallioum3

And finally.

Beautiful Sin - Metalwaves (Nor/Ger 2006)

(A female fronted Power Metal band that I'd never heard of - and you know what? I am impressed.) 
Honour to: Futers666

If you have any questions, criticisms or band suggestions then feel free to pop something in the comments box. 

What the hell, if you do happen to have written  a song called "Metal Attack" then let me know and I'll share it with the world.

That's all folks.
