I hate......slow songs.....oh yeah

Advantages: Good grief it's loud
Disadvantages: It won't be for everyone

Kyuss were a band from Southern California, who where one of a number of very heavy US rock bands getting a break in the post-Nirvana era. Nowadays they are more famous for having spawned Queens Of The Stone Age, because guitarist Josh Homme and bassist/singer Nick Oliveri went on to form that band and had huge success with it too. Here though in 1992, together with drummer Brant Bjork and lead singer John Garcia, they put down a blueprint for what ...
...rock is just very heavy rock music taken even further by the post-grunge favoured method of downtuning guitars and slowing it all down to neanderthal beats. Josh Homme takes it even a step more heavier by playing lead guitar through a 400 watt bass head, giving a very distorted and throbbing distinctive sound. The band became very popular at twilight desert concerts, where the youth would gather around car headlights, listen to their music and presumably ...

When will this end?

Advantages: hard, powerful, some great tracks
Disadvantages: Play me, too many songs sound too similar

...a record from KoЯn called TAKE A LOOK IN THE MIRROR. Although I would not consider myself to be a fan of this band I bought the record since it costed only five euros. I’m sure that everyone has heard the name KoЯn before. It’s easy to describe the style of the band as NuMetal but you can also claim that KoЯn are the creators of this genre of guitar music. Anyway, TAKE A LOOK IN A MIRROR is the latest record of the band and it’s ...
...to the roots. Okay, let’s take a closer look on their new records and find out whether the band succeeded in their intention or not… Right now Break some off Counting on me Here it comes again Deep inside Did my time Everything I’ve known Play me Alive Let’s do this now I’m done Y’all want a single When will this end The opener RIGHT NOW is one of the best KoЯn-songs ever. I like it’s structure: it has very hard and at the same ...

the ozzman cometh

Advantages: a bit of everything
Disadvantages: never say die left off the album

If your a fan of the prince of darkness himself then this is an album any metal fan out there should not be without.An album of sheer quality all the way through and one that propels this amazing man in my view to the top of the metal tree.i have been a fan of various heavy metal since i was a lad and i own hundreds of albums of this genre among many more of other genres.i still often find myself putting this album on and playing it loud because ...
...songs of pure magic by ozzy as a solo artist and with black sabbath make a a great mix of dark satantic to a surprising mellow ozzy. the old favourites are all there with the likes of black sabbath,crazy train,mr crowley,bark at the moon,war pigs and the brilliant live version of paranoid with randy rhoads on lead guitar.you also get the other side of ozzy with songs like goodbye to romance and i just want you showing the versitility of the man.this ...

Back to their Roots

Advantages: Some of their best stuff, completist value
Disadvantages: The live tracks are a bit of a let down

For those of you who haven’t heard of Sepultura (yup, that’s probably most of you) they’re a Brazilian metal band. They emerged as a major name in the early 1990s on Roadrunner Records, alongside Machine Head and Fear Factory, thus pre-dating the appearance of nu-metal, though they were arguably an important influence on that genre and bridge with the ‘old school’. Their 1996 album ‘Roots’ is widely regarded ...
...blending Brazilian tribal influences and thrash metal to surprisingly good and varied effect. Shortly after ‘Roots’, however, they split up. Lead singer Max Cavalera left, forming his own Brazilian metal band, the fairly similar but slightly more commercial Soulfly (who released their third album, ‘3’ in summer 2002). The rest of Sepultura (including Max’s brother Igor on drums) continued as Sepultura - recruiting new ...
