Reason No. 3 Why the 90's Were Better Than the 80's


Band: Megadeth
Album: Rust In Peace
Year: 1990
Genre: Thrash Metal
Country: united States

Tracklisting:

1. Holy Wars... The Punishment Due
2. Hangar 18
3. Take No Prisoners
4. Five Magics
5. Poison Was the Cure
6. Lucretia
7. Tornado of Souls
8. Dawn Patrol
9. Rust in Peace... Polaris

‘Rust in Peace’ would have to be Megadeth’s most balanced effort. It’s not a straight forward thrash record and manages to integrate a more technical, melodic and progressive edge into the album. While the vocals are questionable and not to everyone’s taste the musicianship is tight and the lyrics are superb. I wouldn’t  go as far as describing ‘Rust in Peace as a masterpiece but it is an essential album for any collection.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Haaaaaaa

The Colour Of Music


Band: Soror Dolorosa
Album: Blind Scenes
Year: 2011
Genre: New Wave/Gothic Rock
Country: France
Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/sorordolorosa

Tracklisting:

1. Crystal Lane
2. Autumn Wounds
3. Damaged Dreamer
4. Low End
5. Soror Dolorosa
6. Scars Of Crusade
7. In A Glance
8. Broken Wings

In the bands own words:

"The album is quite cold, with misty blue moods. 'Blind Scenes' would rather be perceived as scenes unseen, that is to say, out of time and out of the real world. As a state of grace overshadowed by the inevitability of everyday life. The lyrics are heartfelt and talk about regrets, coldness, alcohol abuse, as well as forfeiture, but mostly nostalgia, hence the blue color of the music."

No Regrets

Full Boar Ahead



Band: XII Boar

Genre: Sludge/Stoner Metal
Country: England
Bandcamp: Split-tongue-cloven-hoof
Tracklisting:

1. Smokin' Bones
2. Hellspeed Viper
3. Slamhound
4. Triclops

"Speeding at you like an out of control train, XII Boar blast their way into your skull with ear-splitting leads, sonic riffs, fuck off vocals and a sweet southern groove. Combining Motorhead’s swagger, Sabbath’s downtrodden doom, and the swinging crunch of C.O.C, these Hampshire lads will tie you down and fuck shit up."


Open Up and Say Ahhhh

Band: Rage Against The Machine

Genre: Alternative Rock
Country: United States
Official Site: http://www.ratm.com/

So many ideas, so much devastating sheer power and so primitive.

Released in 1992 and one of those rare albums that immediately became a milestone. A powerful mixture of Funk, Hip-Hop and Metal that is yet to be surpassed.
