Whoa.

One powerful song heard on World Of Evil is Cyber Villain. The True Metal mastery of SINISTER REALM can be heard by my ears on Cyber Villain; hopefully you too can hail the Metal glory that I’m hearing from this song as well, by taking a loud listen below! Metal be thy name.

Stone Says HEY! On This METAL Wednesday, September 25th, 2013

Posted in Heavy Metal, heavy metal albums, heavy metal bands, Metal, metal music, Music, politics, rock music with tags Heavy Metal, megadeth, Metal, metal odyssey, politics, senator ted cruz on September 25, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

HEY! In the past, whenever I posted random blab, I’ve used the heading: Some Metal And Rock ‘N Roll Thoughts; today I’ve decided not to. No big deal. Change is good, no matter how big or minuscule. It’s Wednesday, September 25th and I absolutely have no clue as to where the first 8 months of 2013 went. Do you?

HEY! I still haven’t really organized my CD collection since moving to Ohio, unless you consider neat and non-alphabetized stacks of CD’s located everywhere in my house an organizational accomplishment! I buy CD’s still cause I’m old school. I buy used and new vinyl albums cause I’m undoubtedly very old school. The new CD I bought yesterday (on CD release Tuesday) is at the top of this post. That’s right. MEGADETH. Countdown To Extinction. LIVE. This CD kicks unadulterated live Metal ass. ‘Nuff said.

HEY! Yesterday, I was searching for the new ONSLAUGHT CD, VI. I couldn’t find it. I will special order this CD from a local (indie) record store in Dayton, Ohio, which is named: OMEGA MUSIC. This is a bona fide used vinyl and CD store that I will proudly shop at! Let’s face it, the indie record shops are our future; large retail chains are consistently downsizing their CD selections. Dummies. Funny thing is, it’s the indie stores that went out of business so many years ago, due to the large CD retailers; and now the market needs MORE indie record shops!

I absolutely cannot get enough of this double live CD from German Thrash Metal Legends: KREATOR. Just a remarkable live release!

HEY! The first time I ever saw MEGADETH was on the DIO Live Evil tour. That’s right! SAVATAGE was the opening band too! Heavy Metal icons, all. Good Metal times. It’s bands like MEGADETH that I cherish, due to the consistency of album releases, touring and (of course) quality of Metal. Thou Shall Never Take Thy Metal Legends For Granted!

HEY! On a (personal) closing note, I’m very, very proud of (Texas) Senator Ted Cruz. His taking action to filibuster on the Senate floor yesterday, into the night and straight through as I write this, to me is admirable. This is The United States Of America and lately it feels like many laws and regulations have been driven down the throats of “We The People” without much debate… if any debate at all. Scary. The issue at hand, regarding Senator Cruz’s filibuster is about Obamacare. This national healthcare law begins to go into effect on October 1st, 2013. It’s a long story. My best advice (for those who are not in the know) is to go back in time and research BOTH the Democrat and Republican arguments, concerning Obamacare.

That’s all I really have to blab about for now. I hope y’all have a GRAND Metal Wednesday and rest of the week! If you like to read MORE of my blabbing about Metal, Metal Buddies, sports, food, politics, critters, monsters, weather, animal rights and (often times) nonsensical stuff, please follow me on twitter! Here’s my twitter link for y’all:

NIGHT DEMON – Announces Live Dates And Prepares To Enter Studio

Posted in Heavy Metal, heavy metal bands, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags Heavy Metal, Metal, metal albums 2013, Metal News, metal odyssey, night demon, night demon ep on September 9, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

NIGHT DEMON – Having recently released their self-titled debut EP via Shadow Kingdom Records, Oxnard, California NWOBHM inspired upstarts NIGHT DEMON have announced a series of one-off shows in support of the EP. At the end of September, the band will enter the studio to commence work on the full-length follow-up to their four-song debut. The full-length will be released on a yet-to-be-determined label.

NIGHT DEMON Live Dates:

09/14 @ Bombay – Ventura, CA (Record Release Show!)

10/16 @ Malone’s – Santa Ana, CA w/ Diamond Head & Raven

10/17 @ The Vex Arts – Los Angeles, CA w/ Diamond Head & Raven

10/20 @ The Count’s Vamp’d – Las Vegas, NV w/ Diamond Head & Raven

10/25 @ The Creekside – Santa Barbara, CA

This California trio, featuring members of THE FUCKING WRATH, first started making noise in 2011. It didn’t take long for the band to make a name for themselves with trad-metal maniacs from across the globe. In fact, shortly after establishing an online presence via Bandcamp, the organizers of Germany’s Keep It True Festival offered NIGHT DEMON a place on the fest’s 2014 line-up.

British metallic stylings reminiscent of Angel Witch, Raven and Iron Maiden are kicked into overdrive with an edgier and gritter dose of American venom. Consider NIGHT DEMON mandatory listening for any NWOBHM fan. The Shadow Kingdom Records CD release is remastered from the digital version and offers an undeniably superior sound.

A video for the song “Night Demon,” filmed, directed and produced by the band, is now playing below:

The band’s self-titled EP was made available on August 6th and can be purchased at http://www.store.shadowkingdomrecords.com.

Critical Praise:

“…raw, ass kicking metal.” – Sounds From the Mead Hall

“The call to join Night Demon’s ritual should be heeded by all those who can trace their metal roots back to the Eighties, or anyone who appreciates metal from the days when the only available prefix was heavy.” – BlackSundayMagazine.net

“Look out for this band; they have something special…” – AveNoctum.com

As reported on the Facebook of ICED EARTH:

“Metal Heads!

We have completed recording, mixing, and mastering for the new album “Plagues of Babylon.” It’s been a long summer, but a very productive one. I am very proud of my band mates! Everyone kicked ass, and we made a really special record.

Now, it’s time to try to rest for a few “minutes” before the next chapter of world touring begins.

Best to you all! We will see our European friends on the road with our brothers in Volbeat, then the rest of you on the Worldwide Plagues Tour 2014!”

Queensrÿche “Fallout” (Official Video): Is Stone’s METAL Pick Of The Day!

Posted in Heavy Metal, heavy metal albums, heavy metal bands, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags hard rock albums 2013, metal albums 2013, metal odyssey, queensryche, queensryche fallout music video on September 2, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

Queensrÿche – At year’s end, the ever legendary Queensrÿche are poised to have their new and self-titled album on Metal Odyssey’s Best Of 2013 lists and for legit reasons: Queensrÿche has been rejuvenated with newfound (and very welcomed) passion and vibes of Heavy Rockin’ electricity, which I hear and feel within their new songs; and Fallout is just one fantastic example!

With new (and accomplished) lead vocalist Todd LaTorre, the energy and sound of Queensrÿche has been refueled on their newest release; while my Metal expectations for this new incarnation of Queensrÿche have been unbelievably satiated at least two-fold! A memorable Queensrÿche album it is, so I’ve been convinced. Metal be thy name!

Queensrÿche Fallout Is Stone’s METAL Pick Of The Day!

Todd LaTorre – Lead Vocals

Michael Wilton – Guitar

Eddie Jackson – Bass

Scott Rockenfield – Drums

Parker Lundgren – Guitar

Queensrÿche was released on June 25th, 2013, via Century Media Records.

ATLANTEAN KODEX – German Epic Metal Kings Unveil Song From Anticipated New LP At Revolver

Posted in epic metal, Heavy Metal, heavy metal bands, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags atlantean Kodex, epic metal, Metal, metal albums 2013, Metal News, metal odyssey, true metal on August 28, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

As Germany’s heroes of true heavy metal, ATLANTEAN KODEX, prepare to proudly unveil their sophomore LP, The White Goddess (A Grammar Of Poetic Myth), today the first full single from the epic new opus is playing at Revolver Magazine; the mammoth eleven-minute “Sol Invictus (With Faith and Fire).”

Founding guitarist Manuel Trummer states of the magnificent tune: “‘Sol Invictus’ takes you on a trip through the dark underbelly of European folklore to a realm of fertility cults, fire-worship and corn-demons, older than Bethlehem and Babylon, older than dreaming Sumer and mankind itself. Now grab a beer, turn the volume to 11 and bang your head like a man possessed.”

Arm yourself and meet us for the ceremonial unleashing of the mighty “Sol Invictus (With Faith and Fire)” at Revolver HERE:

http://www.revolvermag.com/news/exclusive-atlantean-kodex-premiere-new-song-sol-invictus.html

The band has also compiled a shortened/edited video for “Sol Invictus,” which can be seen below:

The White Goddess (A Grammar Of Poetic Myth) will see stateside release on CD on October 1st, with the mammoth 2xLP version to follow shortly after. Outside of North America, Germany’s Ván Records will disburse the vinyl edition while Italy’s Cruz Del Sur will handle the CD release.

Self-described as falling somewhere between Twilight of the Gods-era Bathory, early Ross The Boss-era Manowar and other classic US bands like Fates Warning, Cirith Ungol and Warlord, ATLANTEAN KODEX retains a singular modernity and heaviness via their incredible production and recording technique, and through singer Markus Becker, who has the naturally blessed pipes to rival the best heavy metal vocalists past or present. There is no irony or pretense going on in their music; ATLANTEAN KODEX plays deeply reverent and devoted metal with an emphasis on superior, timeless songcraft. Continuing on 2010’s universally praised The Golden Bough, ATLANTEAN KODEX has built upon their sound to achieve an album like no other released in 2013.

Many bands and labels lay claim to the word “epic” to describe a particular band’s sound but on The White Goddess, their name becomes synonymous with the term in a way very bands ever manage. Drawing from traditional heavy metal, doom and Norse metal influences, The White Goddess achieves the bands strongest songwriting, lyrics, vocal performance and production yet, already nearly without equal on their previous LP.

Stay tuned for further international release and tour updates on ATLANTEAN KODEX in the coming weeks.
