MONSTER CHRISTMAS MASH 1974

Well unfortunately it is Christmas time again and even though despise Christmas and all that comes with it, I have to post this forgotten little gem, I cant believe I had two albums to post for Christmas. Not the best monster record out there but its got to be the best monster Christmas album. You may have heard the title track from this on one of my "Goodnight Whatever You Are!"comps, if so you know what your in for, if not please go get that first. Filled with tons of cool and weird monster themed Christmas tunes, that will either make your day or make you want to shoot yourself shortly after hearing it, personally I dig it, but probably for all the wrong reasons. You decide monster fanatics!
Link fixed, sorry about that.

HEAVY CHRISTMAS 1971

I generally hate Christmas albums, outside of a few by Elvis , one about monsters and one by Twisted Sister, I don't think I own any others. I'm not sure where I got this from, but most of these tracks are pretty strange, some are heavier than others, give it a spin.

ASHBURY - ENDLESS SKIES 1983 (US)

Here's a true oddity hailing from fucking Arizona of all places! I got this from the awesome Cosmic Hearse blog a while back and just had to repost it. This record is totally bizarre, some of it reminds me of Jethro Tull and some of it reminds me of Zebra with a pinch of Pagan Altar, either way I've never heard another band quite like these guys. Love the subdued vocal approach dude, how mystical and magical!

WHIPLASH - POWER AND PAIN 1985 +TICKET TO MAYHEM 1987 (US)

Oh man do I love these two fucking albums, when I first got into them I would have sworn they were the best thrash metal band in the world. I still totally play the shit out of both of these. Very killer thrash metal with a rock 'n' roll attitude. Great guitar and perfect tortured vocals. I think these dudes primarily played hardcore shows for some reason, but this is pure thrash metal. I like the later stuff also but nothing touches Power and Pain.

DESTROYERS - A NIGHT OF THE LUSTY QUEEN 1987 (POL)

Formed in 85 in Poland. I don't know anything about this one, but its pretty awesome. the vocals are totally crazy and kind of funny at times and it took me a couple of songs to realize they were using a drum machine. There are some great riffs on this for sure, great guitar. This is just a weird piece of metal check it o

EROTIKILL - VIRGIN SPEED 1990 (US)

Though this steps outside of my distinct boundaries of not listening to metal from the 90's, again not that there aren't good bands, but 90's metal for the most part leaves a lot to be desired for me. However I really enjoyed this album, its was certainly out of date by 1990 when it came out. This is sort of thrash metal, sort of speed metal, sort of all over the place, but good. This cover is beyond cheesy to an almost generic level and jeez that name is terrible for sure. Still for some reason I put this on and I really dug it. Their only other appearance was on the Mosh on Fire: Banned In L.A. comp from PMRC Records in 1992.

BOLDER DAMN - MOURNING 1971 (US)

Killer fucking record from 71, very rocking and pretty heavy in some places for Florida band. This is another group I featured on one the Atomic Bombs Away comps I put up. Totally awesome rock and totally obscure! This whole thing has an MC5 meets Grand Funk vibe to me, I'm not even sure why I'm saying that exactly. Anyway this is a fantastic album and I have played the shit out of it lately. Its kind of laid back in a weird way, still energetic and exciting, but not taxing in the least. These guys were said to also have quite a theatrical live show, well worth your time and effort. Get it!

EXPECT NO MERCY - STEELBREED 1984 (GER)

This is a pretty good one despite the terrible photo of these dorks that came with this download. Way more metal than I expected for sure. I dug this cover and the name so I checked it out. I really loved the song "Iron Cross". Not a bad album at all, just don't look for a picture of these dudes please!

DEVIL CHILDE - DEVIL CHILDE 1984 (US)

Formed in New York way back in 83, this albums only real claim to fame is that it features two members that would go onto be in a ton of great bands, this one included. Of course I am talking about Joe Hasselvander (Pentagram, Deathrow, Phantom Lord, Raven) and Jack Starr (Virgin Steele, Burning Starr, Thrasher, Phantom Lord). Though this isn't as good as some of those bands, its still a great piece of wax that should delight most of you jaded metal heads. I really enjoyed it and I loved the fucking vocals! I totally dig this cover two, its way cheesy in all the right ways. Here's a great quote from the back of the album that might tell you what to expect.
"This LP is dedicated to true headbangers who hate false Metal magazines"
1. Devil Childe
2. Rain Of Terror

CORPUS - CREATION A CHILD 1970 (US)

Heavy psych shit hailing from Corpus Christi, Texas. Some great two guitar work here, I love the leads and the songs are good too, definitely check this one out. This is their only album, released on Acorn records in 1970. Its a total killer, too. Gotta say I love this fucking cover, so cool. Now go get stoned already!

EVIL BLOOD - MIDNIGHT IN SODOM 1984 (CRO)

Total evil metal from these Croatian freakazoids. Recorded in 84 but not released until 89. Very NWOBHM-ish, but fast and demonic in a very old school way, I love this shit. Something about these vocals remind me of a much cooler Metallica. These guys would have been much bigger if this was actually released in 84. Total garage metal mania, amazing and not to be missed!

NME - UNHOLY DEATH 1986 (US)

Total Blazing evil metal here, very Venom-esqe to say the least. I fucking love this record. When I first got this I assumed it was going to be a crossover album due to the name and logo, but this is pure early black metal. These guys have a demo before this that is also worth checking out as well. An interesting little factoid here about these guys guitar player Kurt, In April 1986, Kurt was accused of killing his adoptive mother with a hatchet and scissors while on drugs. He claimed that he thought he was a robot. He wanted to open up his mother to see if she was a robot also. He was charged with second-degree murder. On March 9th, 2005 original founding member Kurt A. Struebing was killed when he was crossing a bridge in Seattle, Washington. His car and about 3 other cars were stopped at a barricade on a swing bridge which was open letting boat traffic go through the Duwamish Waterway. Witnesses report that his car suddenly pulled out of line, bursted through the stopped traffic and ran through the barricade falling 60 feet to his death. They are not sure if he was under the influence or suicidal. This recording is pretty raw and certainly not for everyone, but if you dig Venom, Atomkraft, Bathory or Warfare this will make you very happy, so get it!

BRUNO NICOLAI - EYEBALL OST 1975

First let me say that I love Eyeball! Its awesome and this is certainly a case where my love of a movie has influenced my feelings about the soundtrack. I really like a lot of the album, its not a great soundtrack but there are some great tracks and some tracks that have great moments. If you love the movie like me you will like this, otherwise maybe not so much.

OMEGA - THE PROPHET 1985 (UK)

Here's one that's a bit different, I think. Originally called Apocalypse, these lads changed their name to Omega in 1983. They appeared on the Ebony records compilation "Metal Warriors" with the track "Blood Sacrifice". Somewhere around 1985 they released this moody little piece of wax. This one doesn't really fit the NWOBHM mold for me really, though it's not that far off the mark overall I guess. There just something very downer about it. Despite the terrible Beatles cover, I really enjoyed this one and this might sound weird but something about ii reminded me of Amebix at the beginning, I doubt anyone will agree with me, maybe its just the cover.

1. The Dark
2. Shadows of the Past
3. The Prophet

COVEN - WITCHCRAFT DESTROYS MINDS AND REAPS SOULS 1969 (US)

I doubt that I will be introducing this album to that many of you out there but if you haven't heard it than by all means start downloading it right now, this thing is unbelievable. I first heard this in maybe 96 or 97 at someones house that I stayed at after a show, but had heard about it long before that. Led by the beautiful and energetic front woman Jinx Dawson, this is truly astonishing stuff, totally satanic and evil and also completely wonderful heavy music and lyrics, some of the songs get so deep inside my brain, that I cant stop thinking about them, "The White Witch of Rose Hall" is especially addictive. I have burned this album out over and over again through the years and lately I have been playing it a lot again, so I'm posting it. Any serious rock fan will listen to this and hear tons of ways that this has influenced other great heavy rock, metal and goth artists since its release. Totally a undeniable classic, so check it out!

1.Black Sabbath

2.White Witch of Rose Hall

3.Coven In Charing Cross
4.For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge
5.Pact With Lucifer
6.Choke Thirst Die
7.Wicked Woman
8.Dignitaries of Hell
9.Portrait

BORIS KARLOFF - AN EVENING WITH BORIS KARLOFF AND HIS FRIENDS 1967

I'm not sure I really need to say much about this except...WOW! What a fucking masterpiece this record is, I searched for this one for a while and finally got it. This is beyond awesome! Listen as Boris guides you through a ton of classic sound clips. Totally essential.

LEZLIE PAICE - FIGHTING MAN 1983 (SWE)

Total Swedish Sabbath worship from 83, what else could you ask for right? Both of these are pretty catchy, at first I didn't like the vocals that much but they totally grew on me after a couple of listens. The guitars on the a-side are very heavy and dark but still in the 70's mold for sure, an excellent track. The b-side is a bit different, still heavy once it gets going but at first it sounds like a bad KISS track or worse(if thats possiable). Of course I gotta say something about the cover, its looks like it was done with color pencils or some shit and I fucking love it!

1.Fighting man
2.People want to know

http://www.mediafire.com/?newntmvey3u

JJ's POWERHOUSE - RUNNING FOR THE LINE 1983 (UK)

Some blazing fucking NWOBHM stuff for you here. This little known obscurity blasts out with a ton of energy. Both side of the this are fantastic, but I probably like "Blackrods" better, you decide.

1.Running for the Line

2.Blackrods

FRESH BLUEBERRY PANCAKE - HEAVY 1970 (US)

First of all sorry for the lack of posts lately, I have just been extremely busy. So let's get on with it. Today we have some great neanderthal heavy rock, totally backwards and fuzzy. Killer fucking tunes and very amateur stoner vocals make this pretty much amazing.This uber rarity was only released as a test pressing of 52 copies. So good luck owning one of those right? Despite the weird name, this is really a gem and has some truly great parts. The best track here would have to be "Hassles" followed by "Clown on a Rope" a close second. Great dope smoking music!1.Hassles
2.Being in town
3.Clown on a rope
4.Bad boy turns good
5.I call him Lord

METAL MIRROR - ROCK AN' ROLL AIN'T NEVER GONNA LEAVE US / ENGLISH BOOZE 1980 (UK)

Another blazing single by a great English band. I posted the Heavy Metal Heroes albums a few days back which features a song by them. I had forgotten how good they were and how good this single was. Rock 'n' Roll and Motorhead influenced I think. My buddy Chris Hutton had just mentioned these guys to me the other day because of those comps. So I checked this record out again it really kicked my ass. "English Booze" is the best track but their both good for sure. I hope you guys dig this single as much as the comp track....Enjoy!
1.Rock an' Roll ain't never gonna leave us

THE BEST OF HAMMER HORROR!!!

I don't think I need to explain this one to anyone who reads this page. You either want this or not, if your a hammer fan there is only one answer. From the "Twins of Evil" to the "Vengeance of She", a ton of great music by various artists and composers that worked for hammer over the years. Not perfect but a great collection.

MARQUIS DE SADE - SOMEWHERE UP IN THE MOUNTAINS / BLACK ANGEL 1981 (UK)

Here's one that's great for driving around at night totally stoned? I love this single and its a real stand out from most NWOBHM bands, they actually seem far more like 70's heavy rock to me. The keyboards sound kind of 80's but the songs are slow and a little weirder than most. The lyrics are certainly from a depressed and reclusive stand point and I can identify heavily with "Somewhere up in the Mountains". I would love to live in the mountains, get baked and listen to records all day, who wouldn't right? The vocals are pretty eccentric at times but also very heavy and cool. Anyway this is fantastic piece of wax and well deserving of your time.
1.Somewhere up in the Mountains

FRACTION - MOON BLOOD 1971 (US)

Wow what a heavy and amazing record this is. This is truly some blueprint stoner rock, unbelievably obscure. This record has acquired quite a cult following over the years and this should be required listening for anyone into heavy 70's music, doom metal or even the bullshit that passes for stoner rock now-a-days. Beyond classic. This is pretty original stuff, not at all like the Sabbath clones of the day. It seems more like slowed down 60's rock turned up to 11 to me. Damn good! The guitars are blazing and the singer comes somewhere between Jim Morrison and Simon Stokes, with some very rowdy vocals. Raw but with a great set of pipes. Originally limited to 200 hundred copies, forget ever owning the original vinyl. The going price will shock you. Not a bad track on this one.
1. Sanc-Divided
2. Come Out of Her
3. Eye of the Hurricane
4. Sons Come to Birth

THRASHER 1985 (US)

Here's a record featuring more metal luminaries than I wish to mention. Totally a great record and worth a listen and damn there are just a ton of people on this record. The Thrasher - project was put together by people in New York based bands and funded by Combat Records. Produced, directed and arranged by The Rods drummer Carl Canedy along with Blue Cheer's guitarist Andy 'Duck' McDonald. Its totally crazy that this ever got done or released, check it out!

3.Fighting for reality

GRAND THEFT 1971

Here's one I know absolutely nothing about, I'm not even sure where I got it really. Maybe the old Chris goes rock site, but I just don't remember. Searched for info on this record didn't really find anything useful. If anyone knows anything about this I would love to hear from you. To me this sounds like Screaming Lord Sutch singing for The Pink Fairies. Throughout this whole record there is a weird sense of humour and plenty of nonsense, but also some very heavy jams. The entire record is kind of a sloppy drug fueled mess, but quite enthralling. All in all a very fun and entertaining record to listen to. Unique and original.

1.Return of the Meat midgets
2.Closer the Herfys
3.Ben the Rat meets Led Zeppelin

HEAVY METAL HEROES VOLUME ONE 1981 + VOLUME TWO 1982 (UK)

Alright here are two totally amazing records full of great music by fucking top notch bands, so many good tracks here its unbelievable. I was talking the other day to my good friend Jeff Clayton from the mighty ANTiSEEN , the only punk band that matters, about these albums and in particular the Soldier track on volume one called "Storm OF Steel", of course Jeff's tastes are impeccable and this song is just plain killer, thanks Jeff for reminding me of these great records. Both of these albums have a lot to offer but the first one is best. The second one is a little more obscure in the band selection but still a lot gold for classic metalheads. Some of the truly classic tracks here include Jaguar's "Stormchild", Witchfinder General's "Rabies" and Soldier's "Storm Of Steel". These are really good releases for sure. Not to be missed....Enjoy!

Heavy Metal Heroes Volume 1
1 Twisted Ace - I Won't Surrender
2 Grim Reaper - The Reaper
3 Jaguar - Stormchild
4 Soldier - Storm Of Steel
5 Bitches Sin - Strangers On The Shore
6 Metal Mirror - Hard Life
7 Buffalo - Cold As Night
8 Expozer - Rock Japan
9 Split Beaver - Running Wild
10 Dragster - Do It!
11 Witchfinder General - Rabies

Heavy Metal Heroes Volume 2

DRUID - FOUR CURSES 1986 + VAMPIRE CULT 1989 (US)

Fucking fantastic metal here from the obscure Druid. Very upbeat and amateur, just like I like it. I have to admit though that at first I only gave this band a chance because of the bizarrely childish cover for the "Vampire Cult" album. The artwork for "Four Curses" is slightly better but I just fucking love that ridiculous Vampire Cult" cover, its amazing! There is a different cover out there on a re-release but why would anyone want to change this masterpiece right, bastards! Formed in Boston in 1985 these are their only two releases. I have read reviews that call this doom metal and it is doomy at times but I think its to energetic and way to fast and punk influenced to be anything close to true doom. Much more in the NWOBHM vein of things to me. These guys had to feel pretty out of place by 89, total throwbacks. See what you think about the mighty DRUID!!!!

HARSH REALITY - HEAVEN & HELL 1969 (UK)

Classic shit here, definitely heavy for 69. Its not Sabbath but the cover makes up for a few of the mellower tracks. Weird and different for the most part, this fall somewhere between Vanilla Fudge and the better Steppenwolf albums. I cant see anyone who likes heavy rock music not digging this oddity. Again not the heaviest record I have heard from 69 but a definite keeper.

DAPHNE ORAM - LISTEN, MOVE & DANCE NOS.1-3: ELECTRONIC SOUND PATTERNS 1962 (UK)

Alright here's another weird one for you. You might remember my Delia Derbyshire post a couple months back, well this pretty much goes hand in hand with that. Though this is a couple of years earlier and maybe a little more important. I don't like it as much as Delia's stuff, but you have to give this chick credit. This is very basic stuff, even a little boring at times, but take in to consideration that the sounds you are hearing are for the most part the first of their kind. Many arguments could be made that if she and Desmon Briscoe hadn't campaigned for an electronic music dept at the BBC, that electronic music as we know it may have never existed. However she wasn't very happy at the BBC's lack of true interest in electronic music and resigned about a year later, starting her own studio known as Oramics Studios for Electronic Composition. Cranking out sounds for film and T.V., one of my favorites is the music and sounds for Jack Clayton's 1961 horror film The Innocents. Besides being a electronic music innovator, she had plenty of other significant achievements including being the first woman to direct an electronic music studio, the first woman to set up a personal studio and the first woman to design and construct an electronic musical instrument. Thats damn impressive in my book. She died in 2003, at age 77.

THE MENTORS - LIVE 84

This band should need no introduction. El Duce and his crew were and still are the reigning kings of Rape rock.

NAUSEA - CYBERGOD SINGLE 1991 (US)

Great piece of wax from these crust punk legends. I like a lot of their stuff but I think this is the best and its one of the first things I ever heard from them. I bought this in the Cut Corner Record Cellar at the same time that I got their classic "Fallout" single. This is a heavy record and it sounds quite a bit better than some of their of recordings. I love the male and female vocals and there are some very cool riffs. If you already like this type shit, then you will have most definitely have heard this, but if not check it out you might really like it. Hail Metal Punks!

BLACK LACE - GET IT WHILE IT'S HOT 1985 (US)

Killer metal record here for those of you who dig female vocals and Rock 'n' Roll attitude. Formed in 81, they only put out two albums and two demo's. This is the second album and I think it's there best. A lot of great songs and a lot of energy. I simply love Maryann Scandiffio's vocals. Sorta like Doro Pesch at times, but not that perfect. She was also featured on the "Burning at the Speed of Light" album by Thrasher, which is also a good album and features tons of other cool metal luminaries. Killer stuff!

1. I Like to Rock
2. Get It While It's Hot
3. Speed of Sound
4. Action Pact
5. Somethin' Bad
6. The Right
7. Mad Dog's Revenge
8. Shadow of the Night
9. Run for Your Life
10. The Jig Is Up

2.Can't Get Through
3.It Must Be An Officer's Daughter
4.As We Crossed Over

ALFRED HITCHCOCK & JOHN ALLAN - GHOST STORIES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE 1960

COBRA - LOOKING FOR A LADY 1978 (UK)

Sometimes its really hard to tell whats so "Metal" about some of these NWOBHM records and this one no exception. This is hardly metal and if it wasn't for the solos, this would just be plain pub rock at best. Now that's not to say I don't like it because I certainly do. But I do wonder about the intent of some of these bands, none the less its a solid single and a catchy tune! Not to be confused with the other much more metal Cobra!

1.Looking for a lady

2.Graveyard Boogie

DEATH SIDE - SATISFY THE INSTINCT 1987 (JAP)

More great Hardcore/punk stuff. This time by Japanese legends Death Side. This record is brutal and amazing. The guys are fucking wicked in my opinion, but I have been listening to a ton of J-Punk stuff lately. Somewhere between G.B.H./ DISCHARGE style punk and early 80's Thrash. Very upbeat and exciting shit, damn good. This is music to make Mohawks too.

1.Drunk Too Much 1:54
2.Money Don't Come And Go 1:54
3.Look At Yourself 1:56
4.My Pace 1:59
5.Over Nice 1:26
6.Self Complacency

THE INSANE - THE INSANE E.P. 1981 (UK)

Here's a great piece of punk wax for you today. Super energetic , very raw and angry as hell. This one really jams! If I had to pick a favorite it would be "Politics" I guess, but there all good. Great cover on this one also. This is there first single and I don't have the second one yet, anybody? Check it out.

1.Politics

2.Dead and gone

3.Last Day

AFTER DARK - DEATHBRINGER 1983 (UK)

More great NWOBHM for ya's. This time its After Dark, formed in 79, this is the second of their two singles and I think it's the better one, however the other one "Evil woman" is really good too, don't get me wrong. Both these tracks are great and well worth a listen. Now go forth a head bang your your brains out!
1. Death bringer
2. Call Of The Wild
