MetalOdyssey

I did mention back in the Fall of 2012 (both here and on twitter) that my family and I were in the beginning phases of relocating to Ohio. It’s time to report that we are now in the mosh pit of relocating. Things are crazy around here with schedules, packing and basically uprooting our lives to another state. My love and commitment to my family has and always shall be #1, while my everlasting devotion to Metal will never exit my soul.

From now until the beginning days of March (2013) there may not be as many posts launched on Metal Odyssey that you are normally used to. Days and perhaps (worst case scenario) weeks may go by without seeing a new feature or post launched on this site. In the meantime, there will be posts launched throughout January and the archives of Rock N’ Metal will forever be at your reach; right here at Metal Odyssey. Please enjoy them, any or all!

During the down periods of posting on Metal Odyssey, I will make every attempt to get on twitter to communicate my Metal thoughts and non-sensical blab to the world! You can always communicate to me on twitter, 24/7 and I will be grateful for your Metal support.

Here’s where you can follow and/or leave a message for (me) Stone on twitter; just copy and paste into your browser: https://twitter.com/metalodyssey

* The Metal Odyssey contact email will not change! Bands, PR, Record Companies and Metal Buddies can always reach me (in the meantime) via my email, by clicking on this link below:

*Want your music reviewed or to be interviewed by Stone?

I extend my sincerest Metal apologies to everyone for this temporary curve in the Metal road and promise to all of you that Metal Odyssey is NOT closing Metal shop! In fact, Metal Odyssey will once again be back for the Metal attack… and there’s no looking back! Plus, I have a ton of writing to do still once I jump in full-tilt for Hard Rock Nights. Ring that relocation bell and tell all the posers to go straight to hell. Metal be thy name.

YOU come to Metal Odyssey cause YOU are a DEFENDER OF THE FAITH and YOU ROCK.

THANK YOU, TO ALL MY METAL BRETHREN.

Metal Odyssey’s Scott Coverdale Reports:

Here are three Pre 2012 Albums you should check out! Throughout 2012 I was fortunate to get my hands on lots of great music both new and old.  Listed below are 3 standout albums that eluded me during their original year of release. For all the Hard Rock/Metal fans out there, do yourself a favor and treat yourself to some truly great music!!

Paul Stanley - One Live KISS - DVD promo cover pic!

Paul Stanley – One Live Kiss

This live album from Paul Stanley came out in 2008. I have to admit, that I’ve never been a big KISS fan. There are many of their songs that I do like, only I’ve always felt that they’re a bit over the top as a band. Anyway, a few months ago I was curious to hear how Destroyer (Resurrected) was going to sound. When I typed KISS onto my iTunes account, all the KISS albums displayed and this Paul Stanley album caught my eye. I sampled a few tunes and thought it wasn’t half bad. I did a little research and discovered that this Live album is only available on iTunes or DVD. I made the purchase! Man O’ Man, does this album Rock!!! It’s a great mix of Classic KISS and solo Paul Stanley.

Covered Call - Money Never Sleeps - promo cover pic!

Covered Call – Money Never Sleeps

Money Never Sleeps came out in 2009. Just like the Paul Stanley album, I stumbled upon this Covered Call album on iTunes and gave it a sample. I really liked what I heard and bought it! When I listen to Money Never Sleeps, many of the songs remind me a lot of the good ones Bon Jovi put out in the 80’s and 90’s. My favorite songs are, Til’ the EndNothing at All and What about Us.

Thunder - Robert Johnson's Tombstone - promo cover pic!

Thunder – Robert Johnson’s Tombstone

Robert Johnson’s Tombstone came out in 2006. I really dig this album, it’s (kind of) a Southern Hard Rock album recorded by a band that doesn’t get enough credit here in the States. If you like the Jammin that Southern Rock offers you won’t be disappointed with the song Don’t Wanna Talk about Love, which is probably my favorite song on Robert Johnson’s Tombstone.

In my humble opinion, if you’re looking to spend a few Christmas dollars on yourself this new year, any one of these albums surely won’t disappoint!
