The Metal Project: Metal Makes The Future

 

The header above pretty much says it all but since I haven't done one of these posts in forever, let me quickly explain.  This all started not long after I'd started this blog.  I was thinking "I wonder how many songs with Metal in the title I can find on Youtube?"

It turned out that the answer was "A lot."

Like, seriously a lot.  As of last counting, I'd found 1691.  If you want a proper list check out this page here: Song List

(Not all of them are still up on Youtube because of that platform's distressing propensity for nuking accounts. Sorry.) 

Anyway, that brings me to todays ever so belated update. Here's a selection of songs and I sincerely hope you find something you like.

Whistle Horse - Mexican Metal Force (Mexico 2026)

 Honour to: NWOTHMFullAlbums

Freedom Call - Heavy Metal Happycore (Germany 2026)

Honour to: Steamhammer Records

Bullet - Chained By Metal (Sweden 2026)

Phantom Excaliver - Metal Makes The Future (Japan 2025)

Honour to: Phantom Excaliver band

Steel Sentinel - Pedal to The Metal (Mexico 2013)

Honour to: Steel Sentinel

That'll do it for tonight. If I have my calculations right, one more post and I'll be past the 1700 mark. I also reckon I have enough songs to keep this going for several years yet.  

In fact, I think Youtube is adding songs faster than I can post them. Yikes.

That's All Folks. 

The Metal Project: Merry Christmas 2023

 

Hello everybody, including all the bots. It's time for me to (finally) do another Metal Project post.

The Metal Project: Metal In My Head

 

 I don't do New Years Resolutions but if I did, one of them would be to try and post more on this blog in 2021.   you will find what I've put up already. 

So here we are with another entry in The Metal Project which is my long-term attempt to gather as many Metal Songs About Metal in one place.  If you pop over to this page : SONGLIST  You'll find what I have already posted and since there's about 1600 of them that should keep you busy for a while. Or just check out the playlist on my Youtube channel:  METAL PROJECT PLAYLIST

 Anyway, on with the show.  Today I'm sharing a clutch of promo videos. As always, I hope you find something to like.

The Metal Project: Welcome To 2021

 

 Hello and welcome to the first Metal Project post of 2021.  Today I will be digging into my vault and pulling out some stuff I've been meaning to post for a while. As always, I hope you find something to like. 

  It says a lot that I'm not always sure whether a band are taking the piss or not.  However this Brazilian bunch are known for their satirical work. That doesn't mean the song is bad though. Far from it.

Mamonas Assassinas - Debil Metal  (Brazil 1995)

Battleheart - Heavy Metal Pirates (UK 2006)

If this sounds familiar that would be because Battleheart would evolve into Alestorm a year later.

Voor - Evil Metal (Canada 1985)

to be NSBM instead of nihilists just going for shock effect.

The Metal Project: Metal Pounding

  By my reckoning I've posted something like 1650 songs over the course of this project. Holy Crap, that's a lot.  It's also not even close to being the end as I've got several hundred left to do.  So let's see if I can get up to 1700 by the end of Summer, or the end of human civilisation, whichever comes first. 

Mordark - Metal Warriors (Spain 2012)

Honour to: mordark- wyld

Thorax - Metal/Powerraid (Belgium 1986)

The Metal Project: Metal Direct To The Skull

 Evening all.  Welcome to another edition of the The Metal Project my ongoing and possibly Quixotic attempt to find and post every song on Youtube that has Metal in the title, or at least the ones that are by bands I can loosely categorise as "Metal".

  Once again I'm posting promo videos rather than songs but that still counts, right? 

As always, I hope you find something you like. Enjoy.  

Electron - Metal Direct To The Skull (Colombia 2020)

A modern band gleefully channeling the 80s in visuals and sound. 

Honour to: NWOTHM Full Albums

Steel Addiction - Metal Scream (Australia 2003)

Honour to: monsterrocks1

Delaware - Heavy Metal (Spain 2013)

 Honour to: Javiker73

Corrosive Sweden  - Metal (Sweden 2008)

 Honour to: Corrosive Sweden

Digressing for a moment, I continue to be fascinated by how many bands  not only put "Metal" in their title but also just use "Metal" or "Heavy Metal". This seems to be something unique to Metal.

Rampart - The Metal Code (Bulgaria 2016)

Honour to: RAMPART

Terrible Metal Album Covers XXVII

I haven't done one of these in a while and since I have a few covers left to use, what the hell.

The objective is to demonstrate what can go wrong when the artistic vision of the band runs headfirst into the artistic ability of the artist and the result is a steaming pile of disaster, leaking fluids and the bitter stench of failure.

 Please note: Just because the cover is a badly drawn mess does not mean that the band suck.  Artists like Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Helloween and Metal Church have all had utter catastrophes plastered on the front of their albums.

Now let's dive in.  

Achesete -Manicomio Sin Techo (Spain 2017)

What the fuck is wrong with his face? 

Why would anybody choose this mutation to represent their band?

Eezee - Matter Of Attitude (Australia 1993)

 The band tries to create their own mascot a la Vic Rattlehead and almost manage to pull it off.

Zephaniah - Stories From The Book of Metal (USA 2006)

Full marks for being ambitious but the end result is, to put it mildly, not pretty

Helloween - Pink Bubbles Go Ape (Germany 1991)

A well-respected band, a major label and a decent budget all combine to create this.

I honestly don't know what Helloween were trying to do, besides highlight how "Wacky" they were.
Good job, boys. Good job.



Impulse - Gladiator -  (Bulgaria 1989)



having a musclebound warrior on your cover worked well for Manowar.
Sadly this Bulgaran band decided their guy needed NHS Librarian specs.

And That's All folks
See you next time. 

The Metal Project: Metal Possessed

Evening All.

Welcome to another installment in my ongoing, if somewhat intermittent, attempt 

to track down and catalogue every single song on Youtube that has "Metal" in the title.

Let's have some headbanging music. 

Enjoy.

The Metal Project: Heavy Metal Rules

 50 years ago a bunch of Brummies released an album that changed Rock music forever.  Black Sabbath took the heavy blues-rock formula of Cream and Hendrix, turned up the amps, fed it through a filter of Horror movies and  created something darker and heavier than anything  heard before.

 Later on other bands would refine the formula and Heavy Metal would gleefully lift bits from every other music form you could think of: Punk, Prog, Pop, folk music, hardcore, hip-hop and the kitchen sink but it all started with the sound of rain and a menacing three note riff.

 These days Heavy Metal bands and metal fans can be found pretty much anywhere that has working electricity and that includes countries where unsmiling men will throw you into a windowless cellar for wearing a black t-shirt.
 Metal has survived Punk, Disco, Grunge, Rap, moral crusaders, the blatant disdain of the music press and Axl Rose being a knob. If anything it keeps spreading further.
   I am confident that in 30 years time there will still be somebody  putting "Black Sabbath" in their nanite, cortical sensory implants and losing their freaking mind.

 Anyway, enough waffling. let's have some metal ..

and always remember Heavy Metal Rules.  

Steel Panther - Heavy Metal Rules (USA 2019)

Honour to: STEEL PANTHER OFFICIAL

The Metal Project: Metal Monday

Evening all.  Blimey, I haven't done one of these for a while but since Easter is a time for rebirth why not resurrect this project?

  Before I start how about a quick recap on what this is all about.  Not long after I started this blog I began a quest to see how many heavy metal songs I could find on Youtube that had Metal in the title.
  Well the last time I checked I'd found 1600 or so (see tab at the top for the songlist) and I'm still nowhere near caught up.

 So without further ado, here's a small selection chosen at random. Enjoy.

The Metal Project:Keep It Metal

 Evening all. 

Sorry about the extended break. I've been off doing stuff. 

If it makes you feel any better I didn't enjoy most of it. 

So for those of you who just came in, the point of this project is to find Metal songs on Youtube that have Metal in the title. 

If you want to see the ones I have so far then pop over to this page: Metal Project Songlist

I guarantee you'll find some cool stuff that you didn't know about.

Anyway, back to tonight's post and I'm continuing where the lat post left off with a fistful of obscure songs from the 80s.   Enjoy.
