Metal chicks are awesome.

/but for yhis music, I already did the 80's.

For some reason I just want to punch their singer in the face.

It's good music though.

The Iron Maiden influence is obvious, and the sound is pretty good.

Also learned from looking them up that the country code for Switzerland domains is .ch

I keep Mr. Belvedere in a big glass jar in my basement.

My friend George Call (Aska,Banshee,Omen) did some guest vocals on this album. It's pretty good if you're a fan of trad and power metal. If all you look for in metal is growled or screamed vocals, 280bpm drums, and demo quality recording you should look elsewhere.

Somehow, somewhere Swiss metal went astray after Celtic Frost. Please lose the gay-ass vocals and return to metal. She misses you.

The band looks like they've having fun. Pretty good music, if not terribly distinctive. Singer sounds a LOT like Bruce Dickensen.

They look well fed for a group of hostages.

traxan		2012-09-23 04:07:38 PM

Second-rate Iron Maiden clone.

Scorpions4ever		2012-09-23 04:18:35 PM

Hey, I have the same Dio shirt as the bass player, was wearing it just yesterday (that's from the Killing the Dragon tour :))

Good things to hear -

Hooded Priest - Mrs. Satan (old school doom that is actually old)

Procession - The Road to the Gravegarden

Paragon Belial - Demoniac Christian Holocaust

Insepulto - Epitome of Rigor Mortis

Paganus Doctrina - Ocularis Apep Ad Vortex Veritas (kickass black/death)

Hellbringer - Necromancer's Return

/Emerald is cool
//People are biatching about clean vocals now? Damn. Harsh or clean, metal vocalists just can't catch a break.

HighZoolander		2012-09-23 04:37:09 PM

here's more Hellbringer, just because -
Sermon of Death

ok, none of those songs really appealed to me, but I did find Black Metal Babysitting in the related videos, and it made me laugh.

Then my work here is done.

/Black Metal Babysitting was very funny

Black Metal Babysitting was hilarious, plus I'm sitting on that same Ikea rug as I type this.

I am currently listening to the new Winterfylleth and this year's excellent release from Wodensthrone and just picked up this cool album by Nidingr

KrispyKritter		2012-09-23 05:51:17 PM

more crap that sounds just like a shiatload of other metal crap. if you're content with me-too sound-a-likes that's great. i like musicians that reach for new and interesting sounds, or at least a variation on the theme.

Snapper Carr		2012-09-23 07:42:59 PM

Because People in power are Stupid: Somehow, somewhere Swiss metal went astray ~~after~~ with Celtic Frost.

Glam

Hip-hop

/in retrospect neither song is bad (even Cherry Orchards is several orders of magnitude heavier than most 80's mainstream metal)

serial_crusher: For some reason I just want to punch their singer in the face.

Because he wasn't as painfully hipster as the rest of them?

Metal - just another genre ruined by hipsters.

I'm late on it, but I've been loving Carach Angren's Where the Corpses Sink Forever. Reminds me of when Dimmu was good and it's also heavily influenced by Devil Doll. Which is awesome.

SPna15		2012-09-23 10:20:45 PM

Mark Shelton of Manilla Road has a new project called Hellwell. Considering that this is Mark Shelton we're talking about, it's better than anything you're listening to right now.

Thanks for that.

Cool. Thanks Subby.

saintwrathchild		2012-09-24 01:17:23 AM

Big thanks to whomever rec'd I [more words for the hyperlink--do you realize how frustrating it is to click on / search for this band?]. Love their one and only album.

Sweetie, being butch won't make people thing you're straight. It's OK to come out of the closet, the light is much better out here anyway.

ModernLuddite		2012-09-24 03:53:14 AM

The guitar player looked like someone's dad.

//I enjoyed that.
///80's metal - the non-gay kind - was good, and should continue on.

Hugh_Janus		2012-09-24 07:01:28 AM

Thanks for this, sounds good.

ModernPrimitive01		2012-09-24 10:00:12 AM

My new atmospheric black metal album releases on Monday (barring any catastrophes). In BM a lot of bands copy each other so I tried something new by infusing acoustic elements into it and using lyrics drawn from the Appalachian Mountains. We'll see how it goes. It will be up on bandcamp a week from today for $3 Link

Appalachian Winter is a one man project from Pennsylvania. His releases vary from traditional bm to symphonic to folk. Link

All the music I like this century sounds suspiciously like the music I liked last century. Emerald. Good stuff.

You are confusing gay with gay-ass. When your vocals sound like you're queefing out man spooge -that's gay ass. Rob Halford is gay but his vocals aren't gay ass. Don't get your panties in a twist because you don't understand how adults talk.
