The Metal Project: Ten Of The Best

The Metal Project: The Internet's largest collection of Metal songs about Metal. 


  By my reckoning this the 100th post I've made under the banner of The Metal Project. Considering the whole thing started with me a bit bored one night and wondering "How many Heavy Metal songs are there that actually have "Metal" in the title?" that's not bad going.
 So today I'm going to do something a bit different. In the two years I've been doing this, I've found a lot of cool songs I didn't know existed. Here's ten of my favourites.
  Every single one of these is something that was new to me at the time. I hope you'll come to like them as much as I do.   

Adam Bomb - I Want My Heavy Metal (USA 1984)

Honour to: George Gogos

Ambeon - Cold Metal (NLD 2001)

Honour to: Astrid Van Der Veen


Atomik Cocktail - Metal Rages On (USA 1991)

Honour to: Belkastrelka

Beautiful Sin - Metalwaves (Norway/Germany 2006)

Honour to: Evil Kingdom

Braddock - Metal Up Your Ass (Spain 2011)

Honour to: Eduardo Patlan

Dexter Ward - Metal Rites (Greece 2011)

Honour to: David Ranogajec

Messiah Prophet - Heavy Metal Thunder (USA 1986)


As well as a Youtube channel he has a blog too. Check it out. 

Sillwell -Street Metal (USA 2011)

Stos - Heavy Metal (Poland 2012)

Honour to: La Kampa

Strident - Power Metal from Space (South Africa 2011)

Honour to: Strident Official

And just for the hell of it, I'm going to leave you with a band and a song that defined metal for me.

Judas Priest - Metal Gods (UK 1980)


That's all folks. See you at 200.

  1. Congratulations on your 100th post, Big D! I owe my blossoming awareness of Metal entirely to your enterprises. I have loved the coverage on cover arts all this time. And I love the ones you do on comics --exotic, rare, bizarre and eye-popping. Way to go!

  2. Awesome, Big D! I though Ambeon was cool though (man, I hate admitting this) Power Metal from Space just had me smiling from ear to ear in a Spinal Tap sort of way. Loved it!

    1. I'm glad you enjoyed them.

      I suspect Ambeon are more Prog Rock than Metal but what the hell. It's a cool song so it stays.

  3. Gratz on your centennial. I have enjoyed visiting here for the awesome images and some great tunes.

    I really like Power Metal from Space, also Ambeon is very interesting.

    Keep up the good work.

    1. Power Metal From Space is one of those songs where you're not sure if they're having a laugh or not. Adds to the charm.

      And the Ambeon one is really spacey and mellow. A bit of a departure for this blog.

    1. You have great taste, old chap.

      I'm sort of curious to see what the new album sounds like. What I've heard so far isn't bad.
