The Ultimate Metal thread.
Since we've got a few music threads on Hip Hop, Indie, garage etc Id figure a metal thread wouldn't hurt. So anything ranging from thrash and speed metal to the extremes of Death, Black and Grindcore or even traditional Heavy Metal may be posted here.

Strictly no Nu-metal bollocks though

I'll get started with some classics:

Death - Crystal Mountain


Megadeth - Symphony of destruction


Nile - Sacrifice unto sebek

Good thread this!



PANTERA-Mouth For War.
One of my favourite bands ever! Seen them live, pure power.

Opeth, however, is one of the most fascinating bands of the last decade. Epic metal songs. This one here is one of their best!

heavy metal has gone through some changes over the years.
When I was a kid in the 70s, - Led Zeppelin,Black Sabbath,Deep Purple were Heavy metal. Basically,anything with a heavy fuzzy riff.
Then came AC/DC,Priest,Iron Maiden,and Motorhead. The hair bands gave it a bad name in the 80s,then the death metal popped up all over and bands like Zep and Purple were considered "Classic Rock".
If you take it back to its roots and call all of these bands heavy metal,then the discussion gets interesting.
Anyway going by my criteria,my favs are:

Led Zeppelin -the Kings -it all started with them
Black Sabbath - Riff master Tony I
Deep Purple - Made in Japan as heavy as it gets
AC/DC - Bonn Scott- the real deal
Judas Priest - Great up until Point of Entry
Iron Maiden - First of the speed metal bands?
Motorhead - no fecking around with these guys

I reckon you could go as far as saying that Black Sabbath's 'Paranoid' album brought about the whole genre classification.

To me,the first heavy metal album would be Led Zeppelins first in 1968. It just sounds unlike anything before it. The press were horrified when they heard the heavy drums, powerful riffs and a singer with an amazingly high voice. I couldn't imagine what parents thought. With Whole Lotta Love in the next album,those fuzzy heavy riffs were here to stay. There is no way that Sabbath weren't influenced by these first 2 albums.
Unlike Zep, Sabbath were all Metal when they came out. Must have been great to see these bands early on.

Musical precision and anger, if you enjoy metal with a message that is.
Love the riffs on this one, simple and energetic. Too bad Mustaine sounds like a cat's tail caught in the door crack.

They're superior to Metallica despite the vocals.

I'm not a metal fan (quite the opposite), but these tracks really stood out:

~ Blind Guardian - Nightfall
~ Blind Guardian - The Curse of Fëanor

Hit the play buttons on the right.

Two excellent songs. Nightfall in Middle Earth is a brilliant album.

And don't forget symphonic metal, guys.

Led Zeppelin I was released in January 1969...a full year after Vincebus Eruptum - Blue Cheer plus in 68 you have in da gadda da vida - iron butterfly....I wouldnt necessarily say either of these were heavy metal albums, but theyre probably as Heavy metal as Led Zeppelin I is....more heavy psychedelic blues..At a push Id agree with Sabbath being the first real Heavy Metal album...but the musical snob in me would prefer to think of them as heavy rock....They may all have their influences on Metal( especially sabbath) but that doesnt make them metal themselves.

Wolves in the Throne Room have released a two track album (Vinyl only) from Southern Lord. It`s well worth getting.

This lot could be the best BM band out there right now.
