awayward Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Freddie & the Phantoms - A Universe from Nothing, I’m putting this here as there are certainly some Black Sabbath likeness, my first spin of this band, very enjoyable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5L15 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 (edited) I’m really liking this The Mark of Cain album, in particular Battlesick (song 3). Funny, I was never a fan back in the 90’s.... Edited May 18, 2020 by 5L15 Corrected number 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monk Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 New Old Man Gloom out today. Well, two albums actually. Didn't realise that ha. But Seminar III is pretty good. While heavy, OMG doesn't seem quite as brutal or full on as SUMAC. Or maybe, it's just a different kind of brutal. Dunno. I like it. https://profoundlorerecords.bandcamp.com/album/seminar-viii-light-of-meaning Then followed that up with NO because it's been a while since I've listened to it. Yeah man, probably liking it more now than when I got it actually. My tastes have changed slightly over the years obviously. Also, funny fact. When I finally signed up to Bandcamp, due to music on here, NO was already in my purchased list. I was a like WTF, but they must have had a coupon or something with the CD I think, otherwise, I got no idea. Spooky. https://oldmangloom.bandcamp.com/album/no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokken Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Sitting back and listening to some fantastic guitar driven hard rock.... XYZ - Hungry (1991)....it's the second album from these guys. Their first album was produced by none other than Don Dokken himself....I think this was a better album though. Marc Diglio was an awesome and underrated guitarist with a guitar tone to die for! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokken Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Another underrated band, who still sound great live today.....I really like this album....FireHouse - Hold your Fire (1992).....Their second album was much better than their first. Bill Leverty was another fantastic guitar player who didn't get much recognition! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's all good...it's just a matter of personal taste...there are a lot of people who prefer both bands first albums....I just prefer the slightly heavier, guitar orientated direction both bands took on their follow up albums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skid Row most certainly the case too. Cinderella on the hand went from guitar driven to more a bluesy sound which I thought was very cool. Its a damn shame that there a few to no bands that can capture that kinda fun glam, hard rock, bluesy vibe nowadays. Death Metal and Thrash seem to have been able to pass the flame down the years but this genre struggled IMHO. Glad we have what happened in the 80's and very early 90s in this genre to still listen to.

I still regularly listen to the Cinderella - Night Songs cd.....a very solid album.....I personally didn't really like the direction they took after this album though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokken Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 @08Boss302......the only recent Glam/Hair metal band who have been decent were the Swedish band Crashdiet....in saying that, I didn't think their recent album was great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzzFuzzz Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 G'day Bangers. Always great to read the Metal thread and learn from you guys, and hearing solid recommendations for the first time. I have some catching up to do after limiting my access lately. Most of you know I was a KISS fanatic in my youth, never had a problem with Glam. While I love Motley Crue, Guns and Roses and Skid Row, I veered away from bands like Poison, Def Leppard, Cinderella etc. For me they were too much about the look, which is ironic for a KISS fan. It was partly due to the 'sleazy' aspect of the look and sound, fantasy I can handle but not sleaze. It seemed to me that their target audience were chicks they could f*ck. Again the irony is not lost on me. Ju st about every KISS song is about f*cking. Maybe I had grown up and had more respect for women. With Def Leppard I didn't like their sound one little bit. Unfortunately I lumped them all together and missed that musical train. I've erroneously neglected great music through preconceptions. Generally I like things nice and heavy, with Metal and Rock in particular, and I veered towards Industrial and Heavy Alternative music back in the 90's, which eventually led me to Electronic and Dance music and away from Metal for quite a few years.

Hey man, good write up. Helmet meantime a ripper release!! Yeah bud, it was me who suggested you grab the relapse reissues, they are a great option against the originals. The century media reissues were a butchery. Steer clear. Glad you like that album. Their whole catalog is all killer, imho one of the band's without a foot wrong in their career....sadly cut short 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cazzesman Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I was watching a Phil X youtube vid the other day about his session work on this Album. Phil is abit OTT, but he is fun. Alot of the quirky little fills on the CD turn out to be his. I always thought this was one of Alice's top 3 Cd's in his Discography. The April 2001 concert Tour of the CD was one of my all time favs. It truly is an epic CD. Production is huge. Vocals really pop out front and the drums are crystal. All Killer, no filler. Brilliant lyric throughout. Regards Cazzesman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
