Re: GOOD YouTube channels?

Just discovered that Nightsblood (aka 'Alan Of Melnibone') guested on the 'Killing For Company' stream a few months back to specifically dissect the latest Cirith Ungol album but they get into the entire CUngol ouvre 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.

Re: "Hidden" Epic Metal tracks?

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...

Re: "Hidden" Epic Metal tracks?

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...

Re: "Hidden" Epic Metal tracks?



Nor 'hidden' perhaps, but that Salem epic is certainly not as well known as it ought to be.
And if we're including so-called Proto-Metal examples too, then Flower Travellin' Bands 'Satori' is undeniable:

Re: "Library-Metal"? (Slugs 1988 movie band playing at the party)

Not my particular cup of blood I do luw the grimey backing vocals in the chorus :lol: Cool find! I'm doubtful about that "25 years.." album though. Too early for the exploitationalists to have awaken I think... I think you may be talking about the Flint song at the start of the album, (th...

Re: "Library-Metal"? (Slugs 1988 movie band playing at the party)

Anyone in the mood for some more Wozo? Turns out that they contributed 7 songs to this 1978 library comp LP: https://www.discogs.com/release/2275654-Flint-10-Wozo-And-The-Colin-Lloyd-Band-Badly-Bruised-Slightly-Stoned Nothing here is as Corro-worthy as 'Forces Of Evil' but 'Walking On Water' at leas...

Re: Ray Dorsey / Enlightened Chaos fanzine interview

Wow, Ray really didn't sit on the fence in that write-up. Must've been a thrill for the TLWSF guys to see such fulsome praise heaped upon their record. Mr Dorsey really nailed their sound then with his carefully chosen reference points too. I'm reminded, in stark contrast, of the very worst review i...

Re: CULT OF THE UNDERDOG Podcast : Episode 15 Now Available!

I remember getting it discounted. Did research even then before buying and I think there were one or 2 other songs I like. Need to throw that lp on again and hear what it was again. That matches my recall of the Rog & Pip comp too, though i'm also overdue in reappraising it. I seem to remember ...

ROG & PIP. Have that record, whew yeah tough one out of context. I only like part of the record and don't remember if that is 7" tracks anyway, For me both sides of the 7" are great whilst the rest of that compilation LP isn't for me either. If memory serves the other songs were recor...

Re: CULT OF THE UNDERDOG Podcast : Episode 15 Now Available!

It sounds more like 2001 to my ears, so I thought it is "a more recent" release, although frankly 2001 isn't really recent anymore, so... Is it a remastered version? Or is it cleaned so well? By whatever means... I ripped it straight off my 1993 A.T.M. Records CD which doesn't mention rem...

6. DOC HOLLIDAY - Southern Man I can't believe this is from 1981. Amazing... For the rest, I think it could only be said: Good Morning! Shall we find a corpse? Does it belong to you? :lol: :lol: :lol: Well done Nenad. When you say you can't believe it's from 1981, do you mean it sounds earlier? DH ...

Re: Cover variations / Different Covers (Vinyl only)

That Ozzy LP always struck me as a particularly odd & completely unneccesary retitling. Did they think Ozzy fans wouldn't understand the title & boycott buying the album because of that one word's difference? I wish there had been a Swedish release with our equivalent of the saying, “Tala o...
