The Metal Project: The Metal Cult

 What with this, that and the other thing, I haven't had as much time for the blog as I'd like. But nevermind. 

Are you ready to listen to some Heavy Metal?  

Ah said...Are you ready to listen to some Heavy Metal?

Excellent.

Here's a small selection of songs chosen entirely at random. Enjoy. 

Phantom - In Metal (Canada 2013)

(Catchy Traditional Heavy Metal that gets the job done.)

Honour to: Phantom Metal

Stonehead - Heavy Metal Stone (Demo - Peru 2011)

(Rough and ragged South American Thrash)

Honour to: Wolf Asmodeus

Zergoth - Thrash Metal (USA 2010)

(Thrash with some tasty outbreaks of melodic guitar )

Anybody else get a bit of a Death Angel vibe off that?

(From the beefier end of Power Metal)

Black Math Horseman - Torment Of The Metals (USA 2009)

Close your eyes and let it wash over you )

(Sits on the border between Thrash and Black Metal scowling at visitors)

Honour to: vulturador

And finally...

Forca Macabra - Estupidos Do Metal Infernal (1999)

Let's play a game. Guess where these boys are from.

Honour to: kaique marchionta

"Ah." Yout thought. "That's easy. The band name is obviously Portuguese. They're singing in Portuguese. They're playing Brazilian style Thrash - They must be Brazilian."

Wrong.  

According to Encyclopedia Metallium this band is Finnish - but are massive fans of Brazilian Thrashcore so write all their songs in Portuguese as a tribute. 

Heavy Metal has more than it's fair share of bands that are quirky, unusual or just plain odd. One of the many reasons I enjoy it so much.
