Diamond Head- Lightning To The Nations


Diamond Head- Lightning To The Nations (1980)


Here's some proto-thrash made popular by Metallica's cover of "Am I Evil?" and several other songs off this album. They played "Am I Evil?" in the new Halloween movie when the girl was driving in her car. Good shit.

Mouth Of Man - Demo [2009]



I don't do this often, because it doesn't happen often, but I had a request to review a local band's album. Mouth of Man is an emotionally charged hardcore band that to me is pretty true to the 90's type sound for this kind of stuff. There is nothing new here to be honest, but that doesn't mean it sucks. It's good for what it is, so if you like this era of music you won't be disappointed. Kind of reminds me of Inkwell/Treadwell/Honeywell (ok maybe not exactly but I was on a roll). Thumbnail comes to mind for some reason as well. Mouth of Man are not as spastic or heavy or even discordant as many of the bands you might compare them to which to me makes them feel a little more mature. I am not the hugest fan of this demo, but there are a lot of people out there that have been waiting for something like this for a long time. I can see a warm reception in this band's future. "Hallelujah" is a good jam.

V/A - Vinland vs. Finland


BLACK METAL. Some know it as a bunch of cheesy teenagers in their forest backyards running around with their faces painted poorly screaming about suicide and depression.


This is not the case with the album "VINLAND vs. FINLAND", in which (in my opinion) Novato, California's BONE AWL take the cake. The album brings together 4 bands in a 4 way split, those bands being VORDR, BONE AWL, VOLKURAH, and HAMMER, 2 bands being from the United States and 2 bands being from over the pond. Though this album came out a while ago I figured it would only be appropriate to share with those who have not yet discovered it. Everyone can find something to like here, so don't let the words "Black Metal" deter you.
