I mean the last real US metal scene we had was 80-86 (circa) I mean that's when Megaforce and Metal Blade had great rosters. We had thrash metal at it's peak...
I was a pretty big fan of that show. There were times when it played a lot of pop metal, but some of that was good, and it played some King Diamond, Slayer,...
Well, I'd rather hear pop metal than nu-metal, rap, hip-hop, r+b, club techno, or country. Some nu-metal and, of course, pop metal, is all right, but I despise...
Well, Metal Blade Records are getting some very decent, if not some great, sales again. Exodus, Testament, and Anthrax are still around. I think Annihilator...
Lets pick apart these bands for a sec. Exodus is on hiatusm considering the death of vocalist Paul Baloff and the ongoing ok I'm in the band no I'm not lineup....
How 'bout that? I was not partial to the post-Bonded Exodus but I absolutely dig the new Testament: 'The Gathering' is in my top 5 all time! ah well.... ...
We can't all agree on everything, but I will say that after Exodus' Bonded album, they were an above average metal band, nothing great but a step up a lot of...
Doing a brief search of my old MF gig itinerary I find: September 23, 1982 : Perform at "The Dynamo" , Eindhoven , Holland. September 25, 1982 : Perform at...
Intresting, I hadn't heard anything about that 'Hellfire In Holland' bootleg until you mentioned it. Got any additional info on that, got me curious now. My...
I thought it was an older boot but it turns out it's one of those recent Omerta bootlegs. http://membersites.namezero.com/gottiboss.comcast.net/id2.html Still...
I've noticed of late a lot of bootlegs being manufactered up in Canada and South America, Brazil mainly that are nothing more than home made CDR boots. Simple...
Well here we are, nearly a week into April and as expected we have no update about King Diamond and the latest effort 'The Puppet Master' I don't know about...
Jeez, I still owe ya for last month. Let's go double or nothing on 4/30, OK? ;) ... From: mercyfulfate66 To: themercyfulfatecoven@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Yeah! Those bands are all REAL metal, and their sales and concert turn-outs have been getting better lately! I hope that continues to go in that flow! I know...
Yeah, the update will come. I think we'll hear at least something before the end of this month. ... no ... Master' I ... my ... this ... happen ... April......
I haven't checked out Hirax's site. Chances are I've heard them but probably cause it's morning can't remember what they sound like, somewhat of a legendary...
They're based in Cypress, CA now. Their old material sounded kind of like Jimi Hendrix with an '80s thrash metal beat. Their newer material sounds a lot...
Finally got this gem of a bootleg. I must say it is one of the better ones I've heard. Couple of things that catch the ear. First off, King stumbles over the...
I don't think he'll rush this album, I think he may have learned his lesson on that one. Although both Melissa and Nuns Have no Fun were recorded in about 2...
Got it off of that wonderful file sharing program Win MX. There are a few spots on the net includin eBay that have it for sale, most of them want upwards of...
... Yeah, that's kinda funny, ain't it?!?! I edited that out of my CDR burn, I guess cuz it was kind of embarrassing. I suspect the dedication to Malcom Dome...
It is funny, but you're right at the same time embarassing. THe intro for Live From The Depths of Hell, is similar I think, I'm sure Eric can agree or not on...
KING DIAMOND update! Andy Larroque has just returned home to Sweden after completing recording his tracks for the new King Diamond album titled "The Puppet...
Suprised to see an update from Metal Blade before I see it on the official site, but then again I'm really not. I smell a Halloween release date. Bonus DVD!...
In this months issue of Metal Hammer (UK's Prime Metal Mag) there is an article about the satanic edge of metal, dating from Black Sabbath up to Iron Maiden...
