MOTION DEVICE And Their Cover Song Of Black Sabbath’s “Heaven And Hell”: Is Stone’s METAL Pick Of The Day!
MOTION DEVICE – I was first introduced to Bolton, Ontario, Canada’s Motion Device via twitter earlier this year. We’ll tweet back and forth, like any twitter friends do; only I consider Motion Device more than just twitter buddies. I look upon Motion Device as an inspiration and a burning flame of sincerity, maturity and confidence that I cannot resist embracing from such a devoted and talented young band. The allegiance to Heavy Metal’s pioneers that Motion Device is influenced by, through their songs, makes me very proud.
Lead vocalist Sara Menoudakis is going on 12 years of age and she sings with such a determined and confident manner; that it’s all very impressive to hear. Amazing. Sara’s 15-year-old sister (6 string bassist & keyboardist) Andrea Menoudakis is nothing short of inspirational in her own right; Andrea lives each day of her life with a seizure disorder known as epilepsy, (in the form of absence seizures). Andrea’s musical talents would never reveal this, until it was made known by her and the band. I absolutely love the piano intro and outro that Andrea plays on their cover of Heaven And Hell; it’s a beautiful added touch to such an iconic song.
Motion Device is rounded out by Sara and Andrea’s 13-year-old brother (drummer) David Menoudakis, 19-year-old cousin (electric & acoustic guitarist) Josh Marrocco and 19-year-old family friend (guitarist & bassist) Alex Defrancesco. I honestly see an incredible future for these young and clever musicians. The Metal sky is the limit for Motion Device and I will be cheering heavily for them, as they continue forward on their musical journey. Metal be thy name.
Motion Device, along with their new cover song of Black Sabbath’s Heaven And Hell is:
Stone’s METAL Pick Of The Day!

Ronnie would be very impressed with this cover of Heaven and Hell. The funny thing is that I listened to the Holy Dio tribute album yesterday and this version of Heaven and Hell beats the one on that album.

LOL!! That’s very cool and honest of you to say!! You ROCK Metal Buddy! \m/\m/
BTW… who is the band that covers ‘Heaven And Hell’ on that ‘Holy Dio’ tribute album? I actually don’t own it 😦

Enola Gay does the cover of Heaven and Hell on that album. I’m quite surprised you don’t own this one Stone, especially since Doro does a superb cover of Egypt, The Chains Are On. 🙂

Wow this was quite a while back. They’ve already chalked up over 10 million views on YouTube and got some very high profile endorsements from some of rock’s elder statesmen (including Steve Vai, Twisted Sister’s frontman Dee Snider and Jane’s Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro). Influences include Dream Theater, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. In the words of the great Alice Cooper, they are “ready to prove the rock is not dead!!!”
