Hey, having spent the past three weeks viewing Jeff Krulik's cult short film Heavy Metal Parking Lot nightly while doing sound for a fringe show about satan and metal, I am really keen to get a bit of metal into my music collection
am thinking Black Sabbath, Slayer, Scorpions, Megadeth (who I actually saw live with my brother back when i was about 16), Iron Maiden, Judas Priest
any recommendations as to albums or particular songs?
I don't mind more extreme stuff either, the weirder the better (like the Young Gods - that cabaret style album of theirs was great...)
diecide, godflesh, kreator. definately get reign in blood by slayer though.
I didn't look at this thread
how about manowar?
shit, i need to finish off that thread.
bad me!
it looked like a great thread 'non
i really shuld have searched more before starting this one :)
slayer "god hates us all". more important than anything else they did. don't listen to the rest of the world on this one!
If you're serious about "the weirder the better" I would recommend "Arcturus - La Masquerade Infernale."
Avante Garde metal with a carnival-like atmosphere. It's like nothing else you'll ever hear. Weird.
Weirder the better? Try a bit of freaky psych death metal from Canberra's very own Alchemist.
*logs in just to contribute to this thread*
Rainbow - A Light In The Black is the best fucking metal song ever recorded.
Everything else on their Rising album is a very close 2nd.
Everything else on other metal albums is 3rd and below.
*lots out again*
>Judas Priest: Hmmmm, go for "Sad Wings Of Destiny", "British Steel" and "Defenders Of The Faith". If you like those then get into the rest. I love Priest but they have a history of consistantly releasing one good album, then one shit album.
you should own 'screaming for vengeance' too
tangy that sounds excellent!
are you a young gods fan at all?
they had that great dark carnivale thing, and did albums is either french, german or english
i've always thought there should be a metal WOMAD - think of it! all those northern and eastern european metal bands at nighttime in a park in adelaide!
Fuck yes, I forgot about "Screaming...".
I like what I've heard of young gods. Any paritcular album I should listen to for a proper introduction?
Which is the one that they got dragged through court over, Pliers?
Are you talking about Priest?
High On Fire - "Blessed Black Wings" and "Surrounded By Thieves"
Oh, and don't forget
For your tennis oriented metal needs
Yeah, sorry, delayed response
I'm pretty sure it was the 'Stained Class' album.
Yep:
In 1990, the band was involved in a civil action that alleged they were responsible for the suicide attempts in 1985 of two Reno, Nevada, USA boys, James Vance and Ray Belknap. (Belknap died instantly by shooting himself in the face with a sawed-off shotgun; Vance also shot himself but survived, severely disfiguring his face in the attempt. He died approximately three years later due to the effect of his painkillers.) The boys' parents and their legal team alleged that a subliminal message of "do it" had been included in the song "Better By You, Better Than Me" (from the Stained Class album), and that the command triggered the suicide attempt. The suit was eventually dismissed on its merits, as the band had pointed out that if you were to play any song backwards and tell someone there was a message, it'll sound as though there actually is. The ambiguity of the alleged message was also taken into question. Rob Halford pointed out that "do it" had no direct message, commenting "Well...do what? Mow the lawn? Have a drink?"
I love that case. They found their own "back masked messages" and played them in court, too. Ridiculous stuff. Get that one, crackers, and play it backwards

Oath Heinrich, looking forward to seeing Ruins again as well.
So.. the drummer from Absu... pretty much the funniest cunt I have ever seen perform. I still can't tell if they are taking the piss or not. Weak guitar sound, but otherwise enjoyable.
I'm guessing the Absu show at the bendigo tonight is sold out. anyone know?

Anyone tempted by the Kill Em' All show tonight at the EBC? I was but $20 is a touch steep.
Cathedral & Paradise Lost... this promises to be a winning event.

what's the general consensus on the new baroness double record?
Two documentaries on metal I can recommend. 'Flight 666' follows Iron Maiden on tour and 'Get Thrashed' a good doc on the eighties metal scene in the U.S
