All right boys and girls, this will be my last topic in a while but it'll be a good one. Before I leave for my trip, I'm going to leave you guys with some nice musical treats. I highly suggest getting all of these or else I'll be sad. In all seriousness though, this is all quality stuff and grab the stuff which interests you. I'll post both a song and an album but feel free to look up more stuff from the bands See you guys in three weeks!
The Lord Weird Slough FegSlough Feg is one of my favorite heavy metal bands of all time and are up there with Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest among others in my book. Plus vocalist/guitarist Mike Scalzi is also a college professor which I think is pretty neat.
SongAlbumHammers of MisfortuneAnother cool band, M-A has them listed as Progressive/Folk/Heavy/Power Metal but I'd just call them awesome. Band features John Cobbett and Mike Scalzi sharing both vocal and guitar duties.
SongAlbumThe Mushroom River BandA recent favorite of mine, these guys are the epitome of driving music. They're a stoner metal/hard rock hybird similar to Kyuss.
SongAlbumDamaarPulverizing war metal from Lebanon. Not much else to say other than they kick major ass and they will crush your skull.
SongAlbumImpaledProbably one of the most awesome and catchiest death metal bands around. These guys sound like what Carcass should have after their Necroticism album.
SongAlbummaudlin of the WellWho likes prog? I like prog, and these guys are pretty damn cool. Lots of people call them pretentious but eh whatever it's still decent shit.
SongAlbumPortraitThese guys are another really awesome new heavy metal band. They sound like a mix between Mercyful Fate and Judas Priest. Sadly, I wasn't able to find a youtube video of them so myspace will have to suffice.
http://www.myspace.com/portraitmetalAlbum!T.O.O.H.!With a name like that you'd expect this band to be pretty weird. And you'd be right. M-A lists them as Progressive Death Metal/Grindcore and that pretty much fits the bill.
SongAlbumSilencerEveryone needs a little black metal to brighten up their day and the insanity of Silencer fufuils that. Awesome black metal with a fucked up backstory, what more could you ask for?
SongAlbumRipping CorpseObligatory osdm right here lulz. Death/Thrash and amazing quality stuff.
