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 out!

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"

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
10.Satanic Mass

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

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.

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
6.Down on the farm
