koputai Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) Next up, another @BuzzzFuzzz fave, Heaven. This one, ‘Where Angels Fear To Tread’ is more heavy rock than metal. Progress Report: Track 5 ‘Rock School’ is the pick so far. Cheers, Jason. Edited March 17, 2018 by koputai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koputai Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Just playing one side of each record now as I want to get through a few. The afore-mentioned Gosford boys, Frozen Doberman. Unfortunately it was at this point I remembered that my Tecnodec can’t do 45rpm, so the Doberdoods will have to wait. Back to Sydney. Mortal Sin - Mayhemic Destruction. Lots of great mosh bits on this album, as there was going to their gigs. A bit of Wendy. It’s amazing, it’s almost 20 years since Wendy left us. Queensryche - Self titled EP. This record is almost worn out, I must have played it a billion times. Twisted Sister - You Can’t Stop Rock And Roll. Piledriver - Stay Ugly. If you don’t like the way I drive, keep off the f*****g sidewalk ok! Cheers, Jason. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzzFuzzz Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Hey @koputai; Nice one man... 'Heavy' is a stand out Album for many of us. It shaped a lot of young Metal Heads in this country. It's a testament to the cutters and pressers of K-tel. It's a great sounding Album, considering the diverse sounds of the bands, and the number of tracks. It's well mastered and the selection flows very well. It was cheap too, which meant more accessible. Not this one so much, but Australian Compilation albums were in every house when I grew up. I lost a few Albums at one time, which I as going to sell. 'Mayhemic Destruction' was one of them. I still regret it. I will pick it up some time. Wendy, what a legend. Their cover of 'No Class' on Coup d'état is epic. Rock On Lemmy!!! Queensryche are a band I haven't been able to get into. Sometimes it's about timing. I've often read about them and 'Operation Mindcrime' (which I have on hard drive), I've given it a couple of goes, but I should try again, now that everything is sounding so sweet. I have a King Diamond lesson coming up too. I remember Twisted Sister 'We're Not Gonna Take It', from early music videos on the tele. I'm not sure what happened to my copy of 'Stay Hungry', lost along the way. I took my records everywhere when younger. Glam with Attitude. 'Under the Blade' is so raw and rough. Not familiar with Piledriver... I posted these on Vinyl Spinning as well, but wanna keep the Metal flowing... I picked up a 1976 Technics Amp SU-7200, running it through two Sharp 'Optonica' speakers (also from the '70's), and two, new Harman Logan H30 Satellites. I selected from the appropriate period and returning to the Metal Roots... Sounding very impressive... Led Zeppelin 'IV' 1971 Atlantic Records, WEA Aust. Deep Purple 'Machine Head' 1972 EMI Aust. Budgie 'Never Turn Your Back On A Friend' 1973 MCA Records. Then I pulled a few CD's out to see how they sounded... Black Sabbath 'Born Again' 1983 Vertigo, Phonogram London. Made in W.Germany. It cops a lot of grief, but I love this album, and this CD sounds superb. Ian Gillan with Sabbath was the perfect match for me. I've read that that he hated the lyrics and the experience. Ministry 'The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste' 1989 Sire Records, Warner USA. Amazing how good it sounds on old '70's gear. A great time, The Industrialisation of Metal. I saw them at Selina's, Coogee Bay Hotel, Sydney. An Intense performance. Finished off with a little Andy Shauff to mellow things out... Andy Schauf 'The Bearer of Bad News' 2012 I love to mellow with this Canadian dude. Nighty Nite... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubularbells Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 My personal recommendation for anyone looking into King Diamond would have to be either the Mercyful Fate album Don't Break The Oath or his debut solo Fatal Portrait. If you like what you hear and want to explore his"story" concept albums then Abigail or Them would be my first choice. As King would say......Stay Heavy! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then some more NWOBHM with the compilation 'Metal for Mutha's' featuring an early version of Iron Maidens 'Wrathchild' Then on to some pre-Schenker UFO Followed by the 4 disc 40th Anniversary edition of Rush's 'A Farewell to Kings' with a kick-ass version of 'Xanadu' by Dream Theater and an entire Rush concert recorded in 1978 at the Hammersmith in London Then a double disc release of Mayhem covers by various lads who don't get out in the sun too much. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzzFuzzz Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 (edited) Hey @Rocketfrogs; a great journey for a Sunday. My favourite Uriah Heep Album for sure, not on Vinyl yet though. I remember the title 'Metal for Muthas', but I don't recognise that art work. Is there a different cover? Or more in the series? Is it possible for you to post the track list please buddy? I haven't heard Angel Witch for a while either. Thanks Man. Edited March 18, 2018 by BuzzzFuzzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren69 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 On 16/03/2018 at 10:18 PM, BuzzzFuzzz said: Hey Guys.. Dave Grohl 'Probot' 2003 SouthernLord USA. An awesome sounding Record. Dave Grohl in all his Metal glory (not that he's 'that' Metal). But his musical influences are his collaborators here, and it's Metal all the way. Cover art by Away (Voivod). There is an extra track after a long piece of dead wax on side four. But the last 'listed' track features King Diamond, with Kim Thayil on guitar. @Tubularbells; I thought of your new acquisition. Very cool. It's an awesome track, showing his vocal range, I must give him more of a chance. I'm not real familiar with him yet, I have some mp3's to check out before I buy anything though. It reminded me a little of Cirith Ungol, (vocal style, not quality). But I don't know what the King thinks of this track. I'm sure you know of it??? Last up I went with a bit of 'Power Groove'... Danzig II 'Lucifuge' 1990 Def American Recordings USA. Up there with my favourite Albums. The production and pressing are flawless. The kick drum truly 'kicks' through the body. It's powerful, it's raw and its tight, reminding me of the time when Pantera 'Vulgar Display of Power', was also on my high rotation list. They remind me a little of Monster Magnet too. It's been a great afternoon listening, and feeling it again. A joy to be back and there will a lot more posts yet. Cheers Big Ears Loove Danzig and yep, awesome albums though I think the first one is still my fave, just raw with that amazing soulful voice. Probot- I have had that on my to-get-list for I don't know how many years! Might check out Amazon tonight. Love the Dave! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzzFuzzz Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Finding my Metal Ears once more, listening a lot lately. Lucky to have a free day again and sifted through some old CD's... I make a clear distinction between European and American Metal. They are different Beasts all together. Biohazard 'State of the World Address' 1994 Warner Bros. Records. Made in USA. 'Tales from the Hard Side' & 'Five Blocks to the Subway', great tracks. Corrosion of Conformity 'Blind' 1991 Relativity Records. Made in USA. A forgotten album. A very enjoyable listen after all this time. I was surprised how well I know it. 'Body Count' 1992 Sire Records, Warner Bros. USA. A brutal, controversial album featuring that track before it was removed. Track 18. Pantera 'Vulgar Display of Power' 1992 ATCO, Atlantic Records. Made in Germany. One of my all time 'Classic' Metal Albums. A blistering album in every way. Intense and powerful grooves. Mordred 'In This Life' 1991 Noise International, BMG. Made in USA. A little more 'Funk' Metal, in the area of Faith No More and Scatterbrain. Then across the Atlantic for some English, Alternative Metal??? A full on and catchy album...gotta love a sense of humour... Therapy? 'Troublegum' 1993 A&M Records, London. Polygram Aust. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzzFuzzz Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 GGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR..... A work wash-out once again, indoor day for washing Records. Started off with one I haven't played very much. It's not Metal, but electronic with a slight industrial feel... Front 242 'Official Version' 1987 Nettwerk Prod. Capitol Records, Canada. Then we get brutal for a few... 1349 'Hellfire' 2005 Candlelight Records, Back on Black, UK. It's a little two dimensional for me, not enough depth. I was a bit over it by the end. Bloodlet 'The Serephim Fall' 1998 Victory Records, USA. An interesting album, independent production values. The vocalist sounds a little forced when growling. They don't utilise his vocal range enough. Cirlce Of Dead Children 'the GENOCIDE MACHINE' 2000 Willowtip, USA. What would you expect from the band name and album title. Cephalic Carnage 'Anomolies' 2005 Relapse Records, USA. A great, brutal ride. Excellent production, themes and depth. Including guest vocalists from the Death Metal world. Back over to Europe... Legion 'Unseen to Creation' 2003 Listenable Records, France. No. 277 of 500. Made in E.U. Another great album with excellent production values. I'm off for a recovery with some Classical... Mozart 'Serenades' Collegium Aereum - Franzjoseph Maier Concertmaster. Quintessence, Critic's Choice, Pickwick, USA. Not Dated. Mint condition. Featuring Original Instruments, from Mozart's time... Beautiful music after an intense, brutal, Metal session. Cheers Big Ears. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzzFuzzz Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Hey @Tubularbells; Man!!! What a cool set up, very gothic and looks very comfy. I love the way you have your albums stored, and would love to have a look through them. I live in a shed in S E Qld and it can get very hot inside. I have to keep my Vinyl on floor level where it's coolest. In the process of designing some floor racks to build, instead of plastic tubs, which detract from the area. I still have to get back through some of your posts, to get re-acquainted with the Metal world. My collection is sadly lacking fresh Metal, and also a lot of older, crucial Metal albums. I'm a budget buyer though, so it's a matter of 'when' and 'if' I see them at the right price, and in very good shape. I might send you a private message man, so we can connect a bit stronger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tubularbells Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Having a marathon session today with some oldies (and not so old) kicking it off with... Moonspell - Sin. Goth masterpiece from Portugal. Some see this a bit of a sellout for the band (but nowhere near the level of what is coming up soon) however I love it for what it is, catchy goth inspired metal. Recommended. Next up up needs no introduction. Inspired by punk but spawned so many other sub genres that came after Venom is to me as important as Black Sabbath in laying the foundation for what was to follow. Venom - Possessed While many of my high school friends were into Americas big 4 (Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax & Megadeth) I gravitated more to the European side of metal and during this time Germany were a absolute machine in pumping out great thrash the likes of Sodom, Kreator, Destruction,Tankard.....Haven't played this one in years. Destruction - Live Without Sense Speaking of of the big 4.... Megadeth - Peace Sells But Who's Buying? Not my favorite Megadeth which for anyone who cares is So Far So Good, So What but a close second. Nuclear Assault - The Plague For my money this band tops tops any of the big 4. There debut Game Over was a revelation to me back when it was released and is still in high rotation to this day. This EP that followed is equally as good. Buy it! Saving the most controversial till last next up is the infamous Cold Lake by Celtic Frost. One of the most radical change of directions in the history of metal this took the wind out of me upon release as Celtic Frost was my favorite band at the time. The betrayal wan unanimous amongst the metal community and it was slammed from the moment it hit the shelves. How could someone who released primal classics like Hellhammers Apocalyptic Raids or Celtic Frosts Morbid Tales go glam! I distinctly remember feeling embarrassed bringing this one up to the counter but despite all the hairspray, piss weak production and unbuttoned trousers there are nuggets of gold to be found here. They Were Eagles, Juices Like Wine, Downtown Hanoi or even the ridiciolously titled Dance Sleazy all show signs of promise and I have to admit I still like to spin this when in the mood. Incidentally the creator of this has tried to erase it from history so has never talked about it since (other than referring to it as "the abomination" or "utter ****") and as such has never had another press or re-release. This is a rare album out in the wild as many have been either burned alive, snapped in half or tossed in the trash... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
