.Metal.

All-female death metal band, I think thy released like two albums and after that disappeared. old school death metal sound

Rust In Peace, Peter Steele.

Fell in love with this song instantly just yesterday when my friend introduced me to it, now I’m going to cover it with friend =)

Ya, Diamond Head are pretty good. They were a huge influence on American heavy metal.

if you like black metal raw

I’ve been really deep into Dio, Judas Priest, and Lizzy Borden recently. Dio and Priest obviously need no more accolades, but I’ve been listening specifically Dio’s later albums, of which my favorites are Strange Highways, Magica, and Master of the Moon, and Priest’s 70s albums, the best being Sin after Sin and Stained Class.

Lizzy Borden has been a revelation - their output is so damn good. Love You to Pieces is a speed metal classic with literally no skippable tracks, The Murderess Metal Show might be even better (who releases a live album after only one studio album?!) and contains a cover of Live n Let Die years before GnR did it. Menace to Society is solid no frills metal but not as good as LYTP but then they release a masterpiece, Visual Lies, which is less speed and more theatrical/commercial without being any less weird, dark, or metal. They follow that up with what also may be called their masterpiece, Master of Disguise, a Phantom of the Opera-inspired concept album with full orchestra that is like the good version of Use Your Illusion (and once again beating GnR to the punch). Then they sat most of the 90s out, returning with Deal with the Devil which took an ill-advised turn into then-popular 90s metal industrial/sludge/nu/etc territory, so the less said about that the better. I was shocked then when I picked up their last album, 2006’s Appointment with Death, and found it to be an amazing return to form, like they’d picked up right where they left off with Visual Lies/MoD, keeping the strong songwriting of those while bringing back some of the thrash from the first two albums. It’s a great album from top to bottom and it’s a shame it has been 8 years now without a follow-up.

Went back to Immortal t’other day, they’re too fucking good.

First time listening to Deletere, pretty good!

This isn’t a song post, but just look at this game’s trailer and tell me it doesn’t belong in this thread.

Gruesome’s cover of Black Magic

https://soundcloud.com/relapserecords/gruesome-black_magic

The cast of GRUESOME, the Schuldiner-hailing collective featuring members of Exhumed, Possessed, Malevolent Creation and Derketa, today untethers a very special cover of Slayer’s “Black Magic.” The band’s latest reconfiguration of the old-school appears on the deluxe digital edition of the band’s Savage Land full-length.

“We chose our cover tunes the same way we tried to write the album,” relays guitarist/vocalist Matt Harvey. “We just did what Chuck [Schuldiner] would have done. Death was never a band particularly known for their cover song repertoire, but they did occasionally close their set with a rendition of ‘Black Magic’ and it’s a cover that dates as far back as an old 1984 Death/Mantas rehearsal, so we felt it would be appropriate. We were considering ‘The Exorcist’ by Possessed, since Death started recording a cover of it during Individual Thought Patterns, but since [GRUESOME guitarist] Dan [Gonzalez] is in Possessed, it was a bit weird. Again, we tried to approach the song as Death doing a Slayer cover, so
 hopefully we came close to the mark.”

edit: didn’t know this forum allowed soundcloud embeds, cool!
