My searching proved to be more fruitful than i expected, anyone for a complete Myzar gig from 1984? Caution, footage contains headbands & neckerchiefs with bandanas haphazardly tied around outer extremeties. Apparently this was acceptable in the 80's. :) Musically it starts out a bit too slick f...

Thanks for another fascinating, enlightening & amusing read Kristian. A nice mix of underground classics & completely unknown obscuriosities you chose to scrutinise this time. Speaking of those below-the-radar releases, I'm sure any of us here would have taken a punt on that Pawnz EP just on...

Looks like it will remain in this ratio. Would like to know the band that starts the tracks shortly before 43rd minute, though. Oh, that's CAIN - Born Of The Wind Absolutely correct, tracklist in previous post amended accordingly. I suspect you'll likely know track 9 too Khnud, the one right before...

Maybe this one would fit with the 70s entries? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2galU7FS1FY&ab_channel=Aerosmith-Topic Good call! I always loved how dramatic & ambitious that song is. 'Nobody's Fault' is their heaviest track overall, but this was definitely their peak from a creative standpo...

I'm in the same boat myself. I've only heard the 1st 10-15 mins so far, but i'll return to it when i have a spare hour and am in a 60s/70's mood.

Here's another interesting Proto-Metal stream from that Lance guy who's one of the folks behind the 'Brown Acid' comp series. Apparently this episode was brought to us by the letter 'P': Brown Acid Trippin' w/ Lance Barresi of Permanent Records (March 28th 2024) The Pawnbrokers - Realize Powers Of B...

Here's what's been ID'ed so far. Or to express it another way. 0.333 now known, leaving 0. 666 to be identified :lol: : 01. DOUG GOODWIN - Panther Pink Panther From Head To Toes (from 'The Pink Panther Show' TV OST (1969)) 02. BALTIK - Leslie Briggs (Cult Of The Underdog Theme) (from the 'Baltik' LP...

Was this really The Four Horsemen? I recognized the song but it sounds different than on their LP. I like it less. Is this an alternate version or from another band? It's the original album version though it's from the remastered CD, so perhaps that's why it sounds different to you? Intermission so...

Recognized Derringer as a song I knew (had & traded those albums away ages ago) Sounds very similar to my own Derringer experience. When i 1st read that Vinnie Appice & Danny Johnson from Axis & Kenny Aaronson from Dust had been in a band together i couldn't wait to hear them, but the r...

First of all, 'kit, thank you for another slab of rocking splendor. Second: There's DERRINGER's Sweet Evil (4th or 5th track) here! I may have to somehow repurpose your excellent phrase "slab of rocking splendor", i like that a lot. And you of course correctly identified Derringer's fines...

A couple of days early, here's the brand spanking new April episode of COTU, freshly baked for your listening pleasure: CULT OF THE UNDERDOG Episode 16 : Let's Pretend We're Strangers (Apr 2024) https://i.postimg.cc/9Mxkzr4W/Let-s-Pretend-We-re-Strangersx1000.jpg https://www.mixcloud.com/bigfootkit/...

Just discovered that Nightsblood (aka 'Alan Of Melnibone') guested on the 'Killing For Company' stream a few months back specifically to dissect the latest Cirith Ungol album but they get into the entire Ungol oeuvre along the way. 1 & a half hours of geekery devoted to CU? Count me in! https://...

I'm sure Pavlos will be back when time allows, he was very busy last time we spoke.

MechaBarbarian, I salute you for the erudite way you set out your well thought through arguements. Future generations may well cite your post as the moment 'Epic Metal' was ideologically coalesced into fully-fledged genre form. May god have mercy on your soul. :lol: What I'm trying to say is yes, Ep...

It's not just "fantasy lyrics" or long songs with keyboards. There is clearly a lineage of majestic riffs, forlorn melodies, dusty atmosphere and narrative-fueled songwriting that makes up Epic Metal. Interesting topic but there's the problem with 'made up' genres. What might be 'Epic Met...
