Bigfooty General Metal Thread Mk.VII

[Pacman82]

Exactly right. I'm thinking of exploring more of that era, as Sabbath didn't exactly come into being in a vacuum. I'm familiar enough with Hendrix and Led Zeppelin, but it's other stuff like Blue Cheer and Vanilla Fudge that represent real gaps in my knowledge of history.

Steppenwolf are a proto metal band as well

 

[James Colorado]

Getting back into my usual groove now.

Melechesh - The Epigenesis.

 

[Pacman82]

Just Slayer & Olympics here.. watching the wrestling, it's not great viewing, they need extreme rules wrestling for an Olympic event I reckon!

Blue Cheer is pretty cool. Probably the biggest influence on Pentagram. Way ahead of their time.
Hendrix and his use of distortion definitely a big game changer too. Others would probably be Iron Butterfly and MC5. I was gonna mention Humble Pie but it appears they came a bit later.

New Cradle of Filth song is great. A little heavier in the guitar tone than the last. Not much black metal in there (well let’s be honest there’s none) but still really enjoyable.

Borknagar - True North. An absolute powerhouse of an album. Too many highlights to mention.

I used to get rite into COF & Dimmu, I remember some kid bought the Vempire EP to school, me & my mates spun out, sounded insane, got tpoemf & dahe soon after (even had the coffin edition worth $250 now) but f***ed it all off, they evolved to far away from the early stuff for me.. I had Dimmu's first 5 releases too. From Cradle to Enslave was last I bought of them. Saw some silly BBC doco on them a few years back, still has some interesting/funny bits in it..

Really enjoyed this podcast episode. They talk Order From Chaos, Ares Kingdom and Quorthorn/Bathory who Chuck was in close contact with. Some interesting discussion about why Bathory never played live despite getting big festival offers.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Asphyixate - STFDF. Decent early-mid period Deeds of Flesh sounding stuff.

 

[Paul Kersey]

King Crimson - ITWOP. Crazy to think this is over fifty years old.

Master of Reality is now too!

Speaking of the obies a few pages ago, check this out!

 

[Ed_Gein]

Hau weg die scheisse

 

[Paul Kersey]

Deeds of Flesh - Gradually Melted.

 

[Dee Snider]

Katatonia- Last Fair Deal Gone Down. Amazing album.

 

[backtozero]

 

[Paul Kersey]

Flesh Consumed - Hymn for the Leeches. Production sucks but revisiting for the first time in a while.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Testament - TOC.

 

[SydneyBomber]

New archspire, stay tech.
Doesn't have the speed rush, but definitely bring's the tech. A little more 'core-ish' perhaps?

 

[Paul Kersey]

Vader - DP.

 

[James Colorado]

Mayhem - Daemon.

**** me, this incarnation of the band is putting out some amazing stuff. The best since De Mysteriis.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Dodheimsgard - MP.

 

[James Colorado]

High on Fire - Surrounded by Thieves.

 

[SydneyBomber]

New massacre - Kam Lee wipeouts and rick rozz whammy (even though I don't think he's in the band anymore!).
Decent, and big on cthulu in the clip
