On This Day In METAL History – October 16th… From DEEP PURPLE To IRON MAIDEN

Posted in classic rock, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Metal, Music, news, rock music with tags classic rock, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Metal News, metal odyssey on October 16, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

On October 16th, 1984 – The great DEEP PURPLE released their eleventh studio album: Perfect Strangers. I love this album so much! Honestly, I recommend this album to every music loving human being on planet Earth. I remember getting my first copy of Perfect Strangers on cassette! I bought it back in ’84 at Strawberries Records & Tapes in Avon, Connecticut. Whoa!

Perfect Strangers featured the super legendary “Mark II” lineup of: guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, vocalist Ian Gillan, Jon Lord on keys & organ, Ian Paice on drums and Roger Glover on bass. My favorite songs on Perfect Strangers are: Knocking At Your Back Door, Perfect Strangers, Wasted Sunsets and Hungry Daze.

On October 16th, 1985 – KISS released their thirteenth studio album: Asylum. This is not one of my favorite KISS albums, yet King Of The Mountain and Any Way You Slice It are very cool songs. Tears Are Falling kinda gets on my Metal nerves, after all these years. The album cover is cheesy too. Hell, the late & great Eric Carr has the bottom of his face cut-off on this Asylum album cover. WTF? That’s blasphemy!

Ever since I was first introduced to IRON MAIDEN, (so many terrific years ago), I could not fathom life without them. Metal be thy name!

On October 16th, 2015 – The newly released studio album from STRYPER is now ranked at #1, on the iTunes Top 100 Heavy Metal Albums Chart. Holy cow!

MEGADETH – New Studio Album “Dystopia” Releases On January 22nd, 2016

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, Music, rock music with tags Heavy Metal, megadeth, Metal, Metal News, metal odyssey, Thrash Metal on October 3, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

The magnificent MEGADETH will be releasing their fifteenth studio album, Dystopia, on January 22nd, 2016. What a grand Metal way to start off the new year of 2016, with new MEGADETH!

How about the album cover art for Dystopia? I’m digging it. Looks like Vic Rattlehead is some kind of cyborg security officer or bounty hunter, in a futuristic and devastated city? That destroyed bridge on the album cover carries some social symbolism; a bridge to nowhere, maybe? I am looking forward to getting this CD and… Metal Be Thy Name.

____________________________

Hear “Fatal Illusion”: system.megadeth.com

Pre-order: megadeth.lnk.to/Dystopia

____________________________

Along with co-founding members Dave Mustaine and David Ellefson: LAMB OF GOD drummer Chris Adler is featured on this entire Dystopia release, along with Brazilian guitarist Kiko Loureiro of ANGRA fame.

____________________________

DID YOU KNOW: The definition of Dystopia is: an imaginative or real society where everything is horrible and immoral, while the environment is forever deteriorating. This is also a society that is ruled by a totalitarian government.

LONG LIVE MEGADETH.

LONG LIVE VIC RATTLEHEAD.

On September 27th, 2010 – The Metal God and his band HALFORD had their studio album Halford IV: Made Of Metal released. One of my favorite Metal songs of all-time is on this fabulous album: Thunder And Lightning.

If that HALFORD song above doesn’t psyche-you-out, there is evidently a serious constipation issue that must be addressed.

SACRED OATH – Release Music Video For Song “Taken” – New Studio Album “Ravensong” Released September 18th

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music with tags Heavy Metal, metal albums 2015, Metal News, metal odyssey, sacred oath, zombies on September 24, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

US cult Power Metal perennials Sacred Oath have just posted a new music video for “Taken” – the first single from their brand new album “Ravensong” – on YouTube. View it with the link or watch it below:

https://youtu.be/pRsNDAnrEtc

The band members all live in Connecticut, a state where graveyards can be found on just about every street corner, so it’s no surprise that the new music video for “Taken” was shot on an abandoned island in Bridgeport with a cast of creatures from the “other side.” We’re talking Zombies here, nasty ones and they apparently heed the whims of their siren mistress (played by tattoo model/Instagram starling Leah Jung). Jung lures the band to her isle of the damned where they are condemned to play their classic, hard-hitting Metal style for her and her legions – eternally.

“What’s cool is that this video is really a return for us to how the band got started,” says Sacred Oath singer Rob Thorne. “Back in ’85 we would have our bass player crawling out of a coffin drenched in blood to deliver (the band’s signature anthem) “Rising From the Grave” at our live shows and the kids loved it! It’s cool to be back in a horror vibe with the “Taken” video, especially with an album that we’re so excited about.”

Thorne was approached by a former guitar student of his, Jordan Elizabeth Gelber, back in April about producing the video. Her company Starbaby Enterprises in New York was looking for a short film project and it seemed like a great way for both Starbaby and the band to benefit.

“Jordan became a good friend over the years and I always trusted that she had a good sense of what Sacred Oath was all about. It was a no-brainer to bring her on for this video. She’s incredibly ambitious.”

“Ravensong” is the band’s seventh studio album and was released this past Friday September 18^th by Angel Thorne Music/Caroline/Universal. “Taken” also premiered this past Friday on the popular Heavy Metal website Bravewords.com.

Posted in Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Metal, Music, news, rock music with tags five finger death punch, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Metal News on September 14, 2015 by Metal Odyssey

The fabulous FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH recently launched a contest for fans to remake their latest single, Jekyll And Hyde, off their latest and amazing studio album, Got Your Six, which is going to be #1 on the album charts this week!

A fan of FFDP created a version of the track that includes Donald Trump as part of the audio; this fan then cut the song to an entertaining video that you MUST listen to and watch! We all know Jekyll And Hyde kicks maximum Metal ass and believe me, this music video is worth every second of it’s 3:26 running time! Enjoy this music video below and… Metal Be Thy Name!

If you haven’t bought Got Your Six yet, you are obviously severely addicted to stale prune juice. Truth.
