SATAN - DEMOS 1981 & 1982 (UK)

Here are two fucking scorching demos by NWOBHM legends SATAN. Formed way back in 1979 in Newcastle. This band has featured members from such bands as MYTHRA, BLITZKRIEG, TYSONDOG, AVENGER and SARACEN. Practically English royalty right! The first demo here is the first real studio material the band committed to tape and its on fire. These tracks are surprisingly heavy and dark for the time. One of the best demo's I have heard from 81. The track "Executioner" is especially abrasive and tough. The opening riff really surprised me. Each track follows basically the same rocking path to total metal! Two of these songs "Kiss of Death" and "Head's will Roll" appeared on their first single Fans of HELLHAMMER, BATHORY, AVENGER, CLOVEN HOOF, VENOM, take note!
Steve Ramsey (G)Russ Tippins (G)Graeme English (B)Andy Reed (D)Trevor Robinson (V)
1.Kiss of Death
2.Heads Will Roll
3.Oppression
4.The Executioner
Next we got the "Into The Fire" demo. These guys are a little more polished this time around, but still a very heavy record. This demo features a different line up than the previous demo and in fact most of the recordings these fellows did feature different lineups. The song writing is much more mature this time around, but there is some energy missing. The music on this reminds me a little of early MERCYFUL FATE, but with out the crazy King Diamond vocals.
This is damn good stuff don't get me wrong. Most bands would have killed to make a demo this good in 82, but Its just not as great as their first one. Amazing stuff check it out.

GOBLIN POST NO.2 !!!!!!!!

OK so I promised some more GOBLIN, now here it is. I tried to include a few very important soundtracks and some lesser known gems as well. Of course there is the amazing "Suspiria" and the equally as important and amazing "Deep Red" albums to represent the pinnacle of GOBLIN genius. Now anyone who is already into GOBLIN has already heard these soundtracks, but if you are not familiar with them ,this is a great place to start. Both of these are nothing short of brilliant. Sure I could have added few other major points in GOBLIN career, but then how would I make GOBLIN POST NO.3 happen? The lesser (only in popularity) soundtracks I included here are "Patrick" and "Contamination", great but not as good as the first two I listed, still powerful soundtracks. I have also put up a couple of studio albums that they did, the first "Roller" is totally awesome and up there with GOBLIN'S best material. It was supossed to be a soundtrack but that didnt happen. The next is "Perche Si Uccidono" , this one is actually GOBLIN performing as Iil Reale Impero Britannico with one of my other favorite Italian composer's Mr. Fabio Frizzi. This should have been amazing, but really I found it kind of a let down. I mean this should have been a dream come true for Italian horror music fans, so I will let you decide what you think. GOBLIN fans dig in and enjoy!

PAUL CHAIN VIOLET THEATRE - DETACHING FROM SATAN 1984 (ITA)

Geez, what can "I" say about this record that hasn't been said a thousand times before, not much really. Im sure that plenty of you have heard this record before or at least heard of it and already made up your mind about Paul Chain. But for those who don't know, this is one fantastic piece of vinyl. A classic E.P. by ex-DEATH SS guitarist Paul Chain. DEATH SS is one of the first really heavy bands to come out of Italy in the late 70's and at this point are widely considered Doom metal gods. Now their new material may be another story, but the classic shit is nuts! Back on track here, this E.P. is one of the heaviest records, maybe ever. Im not kidding. This is total SABBATH worship at it's finest, but there is alot more going on here too. The whole Atmosphere of gloom and creepiness makes for some awesome and depressing Doom. I was a fan of DEATH SS before I knew about Paul Chain, But I was shorty clued in after getting the early DEATH SS albums and singles. Totally amazing stuff also, if you have heard them please check them out! This guy has put out well over 30 albums over the last twenty some years and believe me not all of them are as good as this one but, Paul is certainly an original and that never goes unoticed here at Goodnight Whatever You Are. Sometimes this record feels a little like WITCHFINDER GENERAL attempting GOBLIN, ha weird right? Well sort of if it wasn't so goddamn heavy. Did I mention he sings in his own made up language, except for the songs titles!!?? If you dig TROUBLE, PENTAGRAM or ST.VITUS you should certainly check this one out.
1.Occultism
2.Voyage To Hell
3.Armageddon

BOLLWEEVIL - ROCK SOLID 1981 (UK)

This is such a rocking single, almost punk even and what a great cover too, I don't understand it exactly but I love it. Is that a severed shrunken head? It's certainly not a Boll weevil. This one sounds pretty good to, one of the rough but awesome type recordings. This sort of reminds me a bit of HIGH TREASON at times. The first track here is "Rock Solid", A great straight up rocker, fast paced and energetic as hell. I love the slightly out of tune guitar leads on this one and the vocals are pretty raw. I love the rock 'n' roll style lyrics too. This one is a true gem. The next track here is "Sands of time", this one starts out like a ballad but progresses into a very up beat and again almost punk affair. Another catchy piece of garage metal. There's really some very amateurish about this single and thats what makes it so appealing, great fucking stuff. Yet another band that I just wonder what might have been, if they had only lasted long enough.
1.Rock solid
2.Sands of time

BACKWATER - REVELATION 1984 + FINAL STRIKE 1986 (GER)

A couple of great first wave thrash records for you today by Germany's BACKWATER. I got these records from my good friend Marcus from Germany about a year ago. I had the second one on CD already, but I didn't have the first one or either on vinyl. Thanks Marcus! Both of these are really killer beer drinking German thrash metal, very energetic and fun stuff. Thrash with a Rock 'n' Roll attitude. The first one is more in the VENOM mold, but the second shows the band in a little more of a serious thrash/speed direction. If you dig MOTORHEAD, VENOM, ATOMKRAFT, BULLDOZER or WARFARE this should definitely appeal to you. Two great fucking thrashers!REVELATION
1. Dirty Pigs
2. Too Much Alcohol
3. Bad Choice
4. The Black Knight And The Holy Sword
5. Hell-Cat

6. Vicious

9. Backwater Part 2

PROWLER - FORGOTTEN ANGEL 1983 (UK)

Another great slice of NWOBHM here, This time around we have the mighty PROWLER. This single really kills man, I know I say that alot about NWOBHM stuff, but this is a really really good one. Not to be confused with the PROWLER that appeared on the "Brute Force" compilation that MCA put out. This is great head banger, anthemic metal! The first track "Forgotten Angel" is just a flat out rocking mid tempo slammer. The drums are very tribal and heavy with crunchy guitars, great vocals and a blazing solo. This is pretty stripped down, straight forward, fist pumping English metal that could compete with most of the bigger bands of the time. The next track is "Don't let go", another rocker with tons of energy and a good chorus. I can also hear some wicked galloping happening on the guitars, great shit. Over all I really love the way this single sounds, rough but in a very good way. the A-side is a little better track, but both are worth your time and effort. Dig in!
1.Forgotten Angels
2.Don't Let Go

METAL VIRGINS - ANIMAL PEOPLE 1984 (UK)

Now this is a weird record, the cover and name look totally metal but the music is closer to the G.B.H. or DISCHARGE style punk. That's not to say that there is not metal on this album, sometimes it seems like these guys good into straight metal territory at anytime and the solo's on this are really just crazy and sometimes here and there the vocals remind me of Ian Stuart. It's really hard to accurately describe the sound of this record and what the fuck happens to the drums during "Virgins"?. Most of the tracks here are kind of alike, so if you like the first one you know what your in store for. Again a great cover, weird but great just the way I like it.
1. Animal People
2. I'm For Real
3. Feelings
4. Virgins
5. Get Out
6. Rubber Dolls
7. Call My Name
8. Invasion

DR. MASTERMIND - DR. MASTERMIND 1986 (US)

Here's a fun power metal record from Portland, Oregon's DR. MASTERMIND. Great name even if it's a little ridiculous. This is pretty straight power metal with crazy shredding solo's, lots of double bass and catchy songs. Something here reminds me of PILEDRIVER, I cant put my finger on it really. I heard this record when I was a kid at my Uncle David's house, the same guy that turned me onto METALLICA. He also had both of those PILEDRIVER albums, so maybe it's just me, ha. This features a couple of WILD DOGS members, if you know who they are. These dudes have good E.P. right before this album, that's worth checking out too. This is very entertaining shit, my favorite here tracks are "Domination" and "Black Leather Maniac". Also on a side not here, the current drummer for JOURNEY was in this band, ha ha, crazy right? Don't let that keep you from checking this out though, it's total metal shit!
1.Domination
2.The right way
3.Man of the year
4.The Villa
5.2631
6.We want the World
7.Control
8.Abuser
9.Black Leather Maniac
10.I Don't wanna Die

HADES - ENTRE EL FUEGO Y LA CRUZ 1984 (SPA)

Here's a great one from Spain, I don't know shit about this one but it's in Spanish, it jams and its rare as hell, apparently no copies were ever even actually sold. They were recorded and pressed, but never made it to the public, or so the legend goes. Who knows? If anyone can shed some light on this band for me please do. Musically we've got a great speed almost power metal kind of band with really catchy songs (even if I have no idea what their singing about), with soaring vocals, that are totally metal, a little NWOBHM sounding with a power metal edge. Very good. The solo's are very tasteful and plentiful. All around just a great album and this seems to be their one and only vinyl appearance and hell it didn't even get released. Favorites here are "Entre el Fuego y la Cruz" a very well written track that totally gets stuck in my head and "Hades", the descending guitar riff on this is awesome. Great Spanish metal!
1.Entre el Fuego y la Cruz

SCREAMING LORD SUTCH!!!!

Alright here's a true innovator of Horror and Monster rock, this man was a God as far as I'm concerned. Critics at the time and now completely pan Sutch and alot of folks still think this shit is a joke. I'm not saying some of the later stuff isn't kind of wacky but this prime era stuff is totally amazing. Sutch is the missing like between the Zacherle, Screaming Jay Hawkins, Bobby "Boris"Picket style Monster rock of the 50's to the crazy glam horror theatre that was Alice Cooper/Arthur Brown in the late 60's. Sutch would start his shows by coming out of a black coffin, also the shows included knives and daggers, skulls and "bodies", along with a wealth of other horror imagery. Sutch also did some Costume theme tours, once dressing the band in full Roman garb. Sutch took the campy aspect of Monster rock and infused it with awesome guitars and lyrics that push the bounds of good taste. Also real quick I gotta mention this classic picture(above) of Sutch meeting Jerry Lee Lewis, I'm sure the Killer was thinking,"Who the fuck is the fucking weirdo", ha ha.


Now the first album here is "The Screaming Lord Sutch Story" is a great collection of Sutch's early singles. For monster music fan's, these singles are a holy grail of horror music. There are not that many artist's that stuck with the horror formula or persona for long during this time period, but Sutch flew these colors loud and proud, pretty much until he died in 1999. This album includes all the early classics like, "Till the following night", "Dracula's daughter", "All black and hairy" and "Jack the ripper". I cant say enough about Lord Sutch or his music, this shit is the shit! You must get this NOW!

Next up is LORD SUTCH AND HEAVY FRIENDS, this is an awesome L.P. Great fucking stuff. This lacks alot of the horror element from his early singles but this record is still demented and heavy. Of course I got to mention that this albums features some pretty famous players like Jimmy Page, John Bonham, Jeff Beck, Noel Redding and Nicky Hopkins, wow right? Despite this great line up this album still got panned and later it was even called as one of the worst albums of all time.....WRONG!!!!!!! This is a great piece of wax, with tons of energy and alot of great fucking songs. Sutch's voice sounds better than a ton of other "Talented musicians" and this record out rocks the vast majority of albums released in 1970. This is Sutch's lest horror oriented album, so if you don't like the monster rock element at least check this one out.

Last we have the "Hands of the Ripper" album, this one is a bit of a mixed bag, the cover is amazing and misleading, this really isn't a horror album. However it does include a 9 minute reworking of Sutch's classic "Jack the Ripper" re-titled as "Hands of the Ripper", but other than that this is really just Sutch bashing his way through some classic 50's covers. The high points here are"Country Club" and "Gotta keep-a-rocking", which again is a reworking of an old Sutch track called "Don't you just know it", not his best album but still a damn fun listen. The line up of the band is pretty damn impressive again, I mean Ritchie Blackmore, Keith Moon and Noel Redding that's fucking amazing. Though I think I love Blackmore enough that I could probably listen to a tape of him farting in a microphone and like it! One last piece of trivia I want to mention is that if you have ever heard the ROLLING STONES song "Get Off of My Cloud", I'm not sure how you wouldn't have but, the guy who shows up "All dressed up just like a Union Jack", well guess who there talking about.

EXTRA HOT SAUCE - TACO OF DEATH 1988 (US)

Here's a wacky crossover/grindcore record for you's. Featuring Dan Lilker from NUCLEAR ASSAULT and S.O.D. on drums. Great stuff for sure, very funny and it has alot of heavy parts, that alot of these type albums lack. These guys really had me at "Aids, who fucking cares!", so funny. Then there grinding version of "Paranoid" kicked in and I was really cracking up. Also got to mention the part where they have the girls singing"Go hot sauce, Go hot sauce". I have been jamming alot of records like this lately and these guys aren't far from the likes of M.O.D., HELL'S KITCHEN, SPAZZTIC BLURR, or WEHRMACHT. If you like that stuff then this is right up your alley. Alot of funny tracks here, but I think I like "Aids" and "I need a job" the best. This has nothing on SORE THROAT for ridiculousness, but it's a great album.

1.Intro: AIDS
2.Passive Terrorism
3.Tony's Dilemma
4.Clueless Fucks
5.I Need A Job
6.Communication Breakdown
7.The Cheeba Man
8.Free Bird?

BOB McFADDEN AND DOR - SONGS OUR MUMMY TAUGHT US 1959 (UK)

Since you guys seem to really dig the Halloween records I have put up so here another one for you. Bob McFadden is no stranger here at Goodnight Whatever You Are, I mentioned him before in my DICK JACOBS - THEMES FROM HORROR MOVIES 1959 post. Bob rules for the most part and this album is no exception. It is a great piece of entertainment, even if it is very silly and slightly annoying at times, like the part where the mummy mentions "Kookie, Kookie lend me your comb" and when they start doing "Hound Dog", both of those moments might make you question your own sanity. But I assure you there is good stuff here. Don't get me wrong I dig the "Mummy" songs on this but, I prefer the other tracks, the best of which are "The Shriek of Agony" and "I dig you Baby". Also I gotta mention the cover, which I think is really great and unique. Is the Mummy a chick? This is a must have if you dig this kind of stuff. Bob's no Zacherle, but hell who is!
1.The Mummy
2.The Sheik Of Araby (Shriek Of Agony-Cha Cha Cha)
3.Sing Along With The Mummy (Shake, Rattle And Roll)
4.I Dig You Baby
5.Frankie And Igor At A Rock And Roll Party
6.Noisy Village
7.Son Of The Mummy (More Sing Along With The Mummy)
8.Hound Dog
9.Bingo
10.The Children Cross The Bridge - Colonel Bogey March
11.The Beat Generation
12.The Beverly Hills Telephone Directory Cha Cha Cha

RAVEN - BACK TO OHIO BLUES 1975 (US)

Proto punk biker madness abound, here's a great heavy rock record, that you don't hear much about. Ohio's RAVEN is just one on a long list of unearthed 70's obscurities that must be heard. Great vocals here and lyrics, most of these tracks exude bad attitude and unhappiness. This feels drugged out but not psychedelic. The angry biker vibe is all over this also, with the bad language, drug reverence's and general unhappiness, that stains this album top to bottom. The first track is a doomy drag through some pissed downer lyrics and great solo's, leading right into the next track "Raven Mad Jam" that's more of the same, just a little meaner. This track eventually transforms into an acoustic jam. That's cool, if unexpected. I dig the weird drums in the back ground alot. Next we got the more subdued "Don't you feel it", a little more hippie rock vibe here, but still abrasive. The next one is the same thing, less abrasive and more rock, OK though. That brings us to our title track "Back to Ohio Blues". This one is a very doomy blues number with great lyrics and solo's. This sounds so desperate at times, that there is no wonder left if they are serious. This track is totally fucked blues clocking in at 13 minutes and 10 seconds, this one may try your Patience, but if you are in the right mood, it's a real killer. Great stuff!
1.can't you see
2.raven mad jam
3.don't you feel it
4.war with your souls
5.back to ohio blues

SCARAB - POLTERGEIST 1984 (UK)

Even more great NWOBHM for you guys. This time we got some headbangers from Birmingham, not to be confused with the other SCARAB, also from Birmingham apparently. This one reminds me alot of ANGEL WITCH in the vocal department. The intro to the first track "Poltergeist" is almost worth your time alone. This is a great mid paced slice of heavy metal. Next we got the B-side "Hell on wheels", with some great riffing at the beginning, this is the stronger, more metal track. The vocals are out front and this one is much more serious in it's approach than the A-side. Also this one is damn catchy and very well written I think. They have a demo after this if anyone has that ,let me know. A great single, check it out!

WADE DENNING - SOUNDS OF TERROR 1974 + HALLOWEEN: GAMES, SONGS AND STORIES 1969 (US)

Wow, here are two great, if not completely different albums involving Halloween record mastermind Wade Denning. The first one is your typical Halloween offering in a way, starting off with yet another version of "Monster mash" and then going straight into sound effects and other weird story shit. This isn't your usual sound effect stuff though, this one is very creative and somewhat frightening and extreme at times even. The little story parts are very cool, very well done and make this album come alive. Overall this is one of the best albums of it's type. I have a ton of these sound effect Halloween albums and this one really stands out and holy fuck what an amazing cover!

SOUNDS OF TERROR!
1.The Monster Mash
2.The Werewolf Attacks
3.Dr. Jeckyll & Mr. Hyde
4.Frankenstein Returns
5.Jack The Ripper
6.King Kong
7.Cound Dracula
8.The Headless Horseman
9.The Mummy's Revenge
10.Phantom Of The Opera
11.Buried Alive
12.Burned At The Seake
13.The Exorcism
14.Incredible Giant Crab
15.Victims Of The Guillotine
16.Curse Of The Zombies
17.Keel Hauled
18.The Torture Chamber
19.The Blob
20.The Nightmare Of Lost Souls
Next we have one of my absolute favorite Halloween albums. This time around Wade is joined by Kay Lande and some eerie kids too. Kay lends the the adult female vocals to the masterpiece. Kind of more like a teacher leading her students, than a singer. Unlike Sounds of Terror, this is actually full of fun little songs that are painfully catchy. If I even listen to two seconds of this record, I will be singing it all day in my head. I cant begin to describe how much this record means to me or how many times I have played it. Total overload! The best songs here have to be "The Pumpkin tells" "Guess what I am" "Halloween dance" and "Witch's stew", fucking incredible! Also the way they incorporate classic tunes into this monster mess is just killer. If you even remotely like this kind of stuff or you like kids records, you have to hear this one. One of the best and one of a kind!

HALLOWEEN: GAMES, SONGS AND STORIES
1.Halloween
2.The Pumpkin Tells
3.A Weird Happening

SLAYER - I WANT YOUR LIFE 1983 (UK)

First of all, no it's not that SLAYER or S.A. SLAYER, this is an entirely different entity from the UK. Formed around 1980 ,this is the first SLAYER, however after becoming painfully aware of their American counter parts, they quickly changed their name to DRAGONSLAYER and re-released this great single. This is the original version of the single, not that there is any difference in the music, just the name. These dudes seemed to do OK for themselves for a while, securing some great opening spots for HELLOWEEN and ACCEPT, but sadly by 1986 they had laid it down , they did however resurrect the name for an Ebony Records compilation, with a much more radio friendly song called "Rock the radio", which totally sucked BTW. Then they were gone again for good. The first here track is "I want your life", a great mid paced JUDAS PRIEST style slammer, that's good for a little headbanging here and there. Next is the killer "Satan is free", I really like this one, it's rather amateurish and sloppy but theres just something there that I really dig, probally because it's about SATAN! Then we have the ballad-Esq "Broken hearts", this one is OK for a slower tune, a bit of a let down, but very mid 70's sounding. Good but not great. "Satan is free" is the gem here and makes this whole single worthwhile, give it a listen and ...Enjoy!
1.I Want Your Life
2.Satan Is Free
3.Broken Hearts

SMOKIN ROADIE - MIDNIGHT / RIPOFF 1983 (UK)

Love this fucking single, the first track "Midnight" is a killer and quirky track that reminds me alot of EXCALIBUR's "Haunted by the Shadows", a great song itself. Very well written stuff here, the chorus on "Midnight" totally makes me want to pump my fist in the air. These dudes are little ahead of the curve here and play this shit perfectly. Next is the B-side "Ripoff", another killer track that reminds me a bit of TYGERS OF PAN TANG, but this isn't copy rock, it's original stuff. This sucker flies by too, its over before you know it and you gotta start it all over again. A fantastic fucking single here, a true NWOBHM classic. This band changed their name to TEMPEST(another good band) a little bit after this single, I'll have to get that up soon. I have these guys demo also, so if enough of you get this I guess I will have to put it up also. Get this one for sure dude! ..Enjoy!
1.Midnight
2.Rip off

STEFANO MAINETTI - ZOMBIE 3 OST 1988

Hadn't done a soundtrack post in awhile and I was watching this again the other night, so I thought what the hell and here we are. This is a good soundtrack to an OK movie, Lucio Fulci was originally attached to this but became ill and turned over the reigns to the always handy Italian Shlockmiester Bruno Mattei, you might of seen his gut munching opus "Hell of the Living Dead", now we all know he's never gonna be as good as Fulci and this could never touch ZOMBIE! However I guess there had to be a sequel and this is an entertaining movie to say the least. Fulci did direct at least 30 minutes of this movie and even though it's often credited to him, he flatly disowned it. There are two other sequels in title only, neither is really worth the time. Anyway this soundtrack is top notch GOBLIN copy type shit in the best parts, very cool and alot of it is very heavy and doomy, downer kind of stuff. Kind of reminds me of some of the music in Return of the Living Dead. The ones with the vocals are awful though, total shit, so watch out. It sounds like Lionel Ritchie jamming with RUSH, fuck it's bad and every single track with vocals on here is the same fucking way, just different degree's of pure shit. Other wise though its a great soundtrack, very 80's, very Italian. Got to love those crazy Italians!










I thought the track listing was particularly creative.

LUBRICATED GOAT - PLAYS THE DEVILS MUSIC 1987 (AUS)

Here's a strange one for sure. I first became aware of these Australian noise punk mongers around 90 or 91. On one of my trips to Lexington, Ky with my old friend Doug Hilbert, a crazy redneck punk metal maniac and a damn nice guy who turned me onto alot of great punk and metal music. Doug got some kind of check for an accident that he was in and on multiple occasions would skip school and go to Cut Corners records in Lexington and Doug would buy a ton of punk, metal and weird records, mostly based on what we thought of the cover, this was years before I meet Stoney Tombs or any of the other Lexington weirdo crew. So anyway low and behold, this was one of the records that Doug bought. Long story short he didn't dig it and I did, thus it became mine. This is damn hard to categorize, because this little gem goes from funeral doom/circus music to mean noise punk to love makin blaxploitation music and back again. Crazy stuff. These dudes put out several records after this one which I liked but this one is the best for sure. My favorite tracks here are "Beyond the Grave", "Nervequake" and "Frotting with Ennio", all different, but all good. I really dig the raw ass guitars and some of the weird lyrics like "Even the birds in the tree's seem to whisper GET FUCKED!". The main guy here, Stu Spasm went on to the band CRUNT, with his then wife Kat Bjelland of BABES IN TOYLAND. They pretty much sucked, but don't let that stop you from checking this out, but only if your a more curious listener. Of course the cover art is an A++, I don't think you could make a much better cover for this. See what you think.

TESTORS-VOLUME 1 E.P. 1977 + TOGETHER / TIME IS MINE SINGLE 1980 (US)

Here's another great punker for ya's. This is Sonny Vincent's first band, if you know who he is. First we got the damn near classic "Let's get Zoed out". A perfect little punk song, that damn catchy and desperate. I don't know what "Zoed out" means, but if it's anything like this single, I'm game. I like the way this record starts, it almost sounds backwards. The vocals on this are damn good and also kind of strange. The singer seems disconnected from the music in a away, but still pissed, hopefully due to tons of great 70's pharmaceuticals. The music here is straight Rock 'n' roll Punk, fast and furious. Some of the lyrics are really great too. No other bands really come to mind when I hear these guys, but its still totally punk, its pretty original stuff. Most of these songs are great with only a couple let downs, which aren't bad, just not as good. Well worth your time to check this one out. The next single is good, but just not the same. The vibe is totally different. I cant say I would have picked up on these guys if I had heard this one first. Again not bad at all after the fact, just not as fantastic as the first one...Enjoy!

SEVERED HEAD - HEAVY METAL 1983(UK)

Classic single here by NWOBHM obscurities SEVERED HEAD. Formed in 1981, the tracks from this single were originally recorded for Tommy Vance's Friday Rock Show. These plus two others, "Gods Of My Father" and "Two wheeled Mistress" were broadcast on 3/18/83. The first track here is "Heavy Metal", this one is beyond anthemic, almost to absurdity. Up there with MANOWAR's "Blow your Speakers", but not quite SAXON's "Denim and Leather". Great shit though. Next up is the strangely titled "Killing the kids". Its a weirder track that lacks the classic quality of the A-side, but I gotta say I liked it pretty well after a couple spins. Especially when they chant "Killin, Killin". Of course, this has an amazing fucking cover. Its hard not to be let down with a great cover like this, but this single pulls through. Also what a great name, I never even thought of it until seeing this single, but it seems so obvious. I cant believe there aren't a thousand SEVERED HEAD's out there, maybe there are. But this has this cool cover!

THE MUNSTERS!!!!

Since I mentioned this the other day before all the controversy started, ha. I guess I will go ahead and post these three Monster music classics. First we got the two MUNSTERS records I was talking about. The first one, simply called "The Munsters" is a fun and groovy 60's dance,surf, garage party record that doesn't actually feature any of the real MUNSTERS. My favorites on this one are "Munster creep" and "You created a Monster". Next up is the just as awesome but completely different "At Home with the Munsters", this one kicks off with an amazing track called "At the Munsters", which is really the theme songs with awesome lyrics, sang by some ghostly little girls. Think this track is kind of creepy even, theres a part where the vocals are off time, that just creeps me out. I love this track. Then we move on to the rest of the album which is really just spoken word bits and little songs by Herman and the rest of the MUNSTERS, Pretty cool, but the first song is incredible. Then we have Mr. Milton DeLugg's "Music for Monsters, Munsters, Mummies and other TV Fiends", This is a cool little album with a sampling of what Milton DeLugg does best, funky, surfy monster jams! He also lurks through a batch of classics, like the "The Addams Family theme" and others, so enjoy!

PURE HELL - NOISE ADDICTION 1978 (US)

Formed way back in 1974 in Philadelphia. I don't have to go into how important or rare that is that, but its substantial. These dudes shared the stage at Max's with the NEW YORK DOLLS and a host of other legendary NYC early punk bands. These guys only put out one single in 1978, which is a mystery because you would think every record label in the world would have wanted these guys. The single even charted in the top 40 in the UK, jeez what a missed opportunity, cause these dudes really destroy. I listen to a ton of punk music and there are bands that suck, bands that are just good and then every once in awhile a record like this comes along and you cant believe you hadn't already heard it, you cant believe you have lived this long without this motherfucker. To me this is totally like a black DEAD BOYS and anyone who knows me knows I love the fucking DEAD BOYS. This is classic , this is essential. Speaking of black punk, lately so much fuss has been made about that lost DEATH album(which is a great record, don't get me wrong), but don't let that fool you, this is the band you need here. Don't fuck around and miss out on this one.

HIGH TREASON - SATURDAY NIGHT SPECIAL 1980(uk)

Great single from this NWOBHM cult. Formed in 1978 and split in 1983, but their actually back again now? Anyway this is a ripping single. The first track is "Saturday night special", a total rocker with tons of energy. I love the lyrics and that they keep mentioning High Treason, that's awesome. Damn near perfect little song. Next on the B-side is "Waste my Love", another rocker very high energy and great melodic vocals. This single just straight rocks period! Dont mis out.
