ICECROSS 1973 (ICELAND)

Wanted this one since the first time I seen the cover, which is totally awesome. This doesn't quite live up to the weird cover image, but its pretty damn cool, strange and depressing. These guys seem totally backwards at times and then really progressive too. Very creative stuff, but not hippie rock or jam rock really. These dudes seem rather angry to be frank, this is very anti religious, which is pretty bold for 73. I love the fuzzy, sloppy guitar sound and all the songs are early metal sounding. This is definitely heavy and different. Check it out.

OSCAR BRAND AND HIS YOUNG FRIENDS - TRICK OR TREAT 1979

Alright here's some great Halloween shit for you today, had this album for quite a while before I got around to listening to it, man what was I waiting for, this is fantastic. Very folksy sing along songs that explore Halloween and various other weird themes performed in a storyteller style, with the kids even get in on the fun sometimes, which I love. Kind reminiscent of the Kay Lande and Wade Denning Album I put up a while back, but not quite that brilliant. If I had this one when I was kid, I'm sure I would have worn it out, just killer stuff. Of course I really like this cover also, all the cool library stickers make it even cooler. Would love to own this one someday. I know at least a few of you are really going to like this, you know who you are. Also I cant go without mentioning that this guy has written like hundreds of weird songs, spanning almost any and every topic, fucking crazy, you know this dude has got to be strange. Check out his Wiki link..Enjoy!

DAEMON - ENTRANCE TO HELL (UNRELEASED DEMO LP) 1970-1971 (UK)

WOW, here's another just blazing heavy rock record. Post-Atomic Rooster, Pre-Hard Stuff. Great heavy guitars play upbeat downer rock classics. How can an album this energetic be doomy, I don't know but that's just what this is. Again the guitars sound so great, the solo's and playing are top notch and the songs are all very well written. It would be hard to put these guys into just one category for sure. There's a lot of different shit going on here, but it's all hard and heavy. Fantastic stuff!!

WIKKA - WIKKA E.P. 1988 (CAN)

Great metal E.P. here. Great riffs and guitar sound, also dig the vocals a lot, kind of sleazy but kinda power metal. Pretty behind the times for 88, but that's OK with me! Most of these songs are slower and heavy, with a few upbeat moments. Sort of reminds of some the mid period Death S.S. from the late 80's also. Sometimes this has thrash vibe but the songs are very well written and well played. This is their only release which is pretty surprising considering the great music on this E.P., All around a really cool record and unique band... I love that logo..Totally profound!

TOTAL METAL FORCES ATTACK VOLUME TWO

Here is volume 2, also from the cassettes I made for some friends years ago, there are some really great songs here, some rare stuff and some basic shit too. Lots of great bands also, my personal favs here would have to be Prisoner's "Backstabber" (what a masterpiece and I love the fucking vocals, a totally intense and ponderous headbanger ) Hellion's "Don't take No for an Answer" (this band should have been so much bigger, this track is almost perfect rock metal) and Stormwitch's "Heart of Ice" (this is a pretty poppy song but I just love it, great sing along type shit). Their all good tracks though. Just all round good metal. Thanks to everyone who got the last one, hope you dug it ..Enjoy!

2.Black'N'Blue-Kiss of Death

P205 1976 (GER)

Here's a weird one for you folks that dig heavy rock and psychedelic shit. Personally I loved this one. This is a little late in the game by 76, but still this is a very unique album and certainly a must have for fans of the shit. Sometimes upbeat rock, sometimes weird as hell. I don't know anything about these German space rock weirdos, but this is a good album and a very different listening experience. Very heavy, very moody and doomy stuff, check it out.

STITCH - DEVILS DEAL 1982 (SWE)

Man what a great little single, just fantastic. Great vocals, great riffs and a ton of upbeat energy. Certainly in the NWOBHM vein. But this early example of full on Swedish metal is a little rawer and meaner. The b-side is the real catch here, but the a-side kicks like hell too. I love the logo and the truly metal looking photo cover, totally killer! This band has some later recordings that really suck it though, so watch out.

THRUST - FIST HELD HIGH 1984 (US)

Here's some more great metal for you this time its Chicago's Thrust. I first heard these guys on a weird comp that I pick up for a dollar or two somewhere called " Solidarnosc Rock for Poland". I have no idea what that title means, does anyone?. There are only two bands on the comp and none the less Thrust was easily the best. I have included that comp track here also. This great high energy fun/party metal type shit. Any real metal head will dig this for sure. Great music all around. Though sometimes this guys attempt at King Diamond are a little terrible, otherwise a great piece of wax.

THE HAND OF DOOM - POISONOISE 1979 (GER)

The one is so unreal, where the fuck did this record come from, its just flat out killer. If your as obsessed with this kind of music as I am, Its so hard to wrap your mind around a record this good existing without your knowledge. I mean were always finding new music and bands and now thanks to the Internet, its all actually able to be heard no matter for the most part how obscure it is. But still ever once in a while a record comes along that really reminds you why you dig so deep. First of all this is not a doom metal album, its actually some very heavy rock/punk/metal sounding insanity from Germany 1979. One of the best records I have heard in years. My friend Fenriz turned me on to this one last year on a comp he sent me, featuring the song "Rock 'n' Roll Close to the End of the World", great title right! That and every one of the other tracks here are a prefect mixture of caveman metal brutality, punk delivery and a completely bad attitude. Got to say the vocals are so fucking good!, from punk and straight metal to beyond Lemmy style to almost death metal growls. At times this could be compared to some of the meaner early Motorhead material, they don't sound like Motorhead really but this certainly has the same vibe at times. Very very heavy for 79. Lots of high energy riffs, all with a weird rock 'n' roll punk edge, its sort of like these guys are playing a weird party, don't get me wrong this record actually sounds really really good and not like a live album at all, still there is that special something, I just cant put my finger on it that makes it come alive. The guitar sound itself is pretty fantastic as well, very 70's but a little rawer. Anyway nothing short of essential. Get this one for sure. There is a reissue of this out on CD and vinyl that adds about 11 more tracks, well worth it I think.

FINAL WARNING - PDX 83-85 (US)

Goddamn this is a great punk record from these Portland weirdos. Very metallic but not crossover. A damn mean sound though and some really great songs. A little in the Exploited/G.B.H vein, but at the same time pretty original stuff. This record features Poison Idea members Glenn Estes and Charlie Nims (aka Myrtle Tickner) on bass. These guys got a lot of good shows with bands like Dead Kennedys, Scream, Dr. Know, The Exploited, G.B.H., Hüsker Dü, The Minutemen, D.R.I. and Mercyful Fate, but they never played outside the Pacific Northwest. To fucking bad. Totally essential hardcore punk!

WARLOCK - DEMO 1983 (GER)

Well if your not already a huge Doro fan like I am, Warlock is the right place to start. I have been a fan since around 1988 or so, when I picked my first piece of Warlock wax 1987's "Triumph and Agony". Doro's voice is fucking amazing and she is easily the best looking metal vocalist of all time. My teen crush for her still runs deep, so Doro if your out there, I'm waiting for the call! The version of "Burning the Witches" on this demo is much more alive and energetic than the album version and is a must hear for Doro fans. Still looking for something by Doro's first band Snakebite, so if anyone can help please do! Truly rocking heavy metal shit. Bow at the altar of the ultimate metal goddess!

ALVIN SCHWARTZ - SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK BY GEORGE S. IRVING 1986

OK I hadn't put up anything lately that might appeal strictly to my monster music fans, so here's a little album of scary ghost stories. I remembered a couple of these stories from the book I had when I was a kid, wish I had it now. I think there are others, I will have to look into that. This is all very well done and quite entertaining at least I sure thought so in 4th grade. So Turn down the lights and enjoy you little monsters!!!!!!!

LE GRIFFE - FAST BIKES EP 1983 (UK)

Great little record here for classic metal fans, tons of great melodies, good solos, classic NWOBHM vocals and songs about motorcycles. I found this one a little addictive, I listen to it over and over in my mp3 player, "Fast Bikes" especially is so good! Formed in 80 they only put out three releases and this is the first. Love the basic fucking cover and this one really sounds good also.

MICHEAL PERILSTEIN - HOLLYWOOD CHAINSAW HOOKERS OST 1988

Here's a pretty funny soundtrack to a movie I totally loved when I was a young teenager, you just cant beat Linnea Quigley's "Dance of the Virgin Chainsaw", Totally unreal! I have faith that most you out there have already seen it. I rented this at my local mom and pop somewhere in the late 80's I think and was floored by how utterly retarded it was and how much I loved it. This features a few more little soundtrack bits also worth checking out. Enjoy!

BLUES CREATION - DEMON & ELEVEN CHILDREN 1971 (JAP)

Well this one is rather obvious I guess. Some of you who grabbed my Atomic Bombs Away comps, will notice that this is where I got the name for those comps. This is a fantastic album by these Japanese freaks, very heavy and very entertaining. The influences here are way to obvious to even go into. This is their second album and my personal fave. Simply put, if you like heavy rock music from the 60's and 70's, then you must get this. If you already have it than you know what an amazing album this is..Enjoy!

TIGER B. SMITH - TIGER ROCK 1972 (GER)

Fantastic piece of unique music. At first I didn't know what to expect from this, considering the cover. Glam maybe? But not really, at least not in the usual way. This is a heavy little album and pretty original, its hard to compare it to anything, maybe some earlier Grand Funk stuff played by someone slightly more caveman than Mark Farner, but this is rougher and a lot more raw and much weirder. There are a few long jam out parts that might discourage some, but over all the energy is pretty high. I have read some rather angry reviews of this record, mostly by indie rock nerd types, but as a total Neanderthal I thought this was a killer album all around. They have a second album but I don't have it for some reason, I'll have to search it out at some point. Check this one out!
1. Tiger Rock

MUTILATOR - IMMORTAL FORCE 1987 (BRA)

Here's some totally crazy Brazilian thrash for you, I know some of you will really enjoy this one, Josh I'm looking at you (if you don't already have it and you probably do). Fucking great stuff here, right on the edge of falling apart but totally on fire and action packed death/thrash. This is their first full length and my personal favorite, they also have some cool demos and a split album, so if you like this check those out also. This singer was asked to be Sepultura at some point, but turned it down and I think that's some pretty awesome shit! Am I crazy or is "Memorial Stone Without Name" like the best song title you've heard this year so far or what? For all true thrashers and cult metal fanatics!

OZ - FIRE IN THE BRAIN 1983 (FIN)

Fucking insane piece of metal wax here, I just scored a copy of this on vinyl a few days ago at the worst record store in town, I'm not even sure why I went in. But there it was, a prefect copy of this killer record. The guy behind the counter said "Some old biker dude sold these", I thought to myself maybe this record was sent here by the future me, then I snapped back to reality and forked over 6 bucks for this masterpiece. The first person to ever mention these guys to me was Mike Rutherford I think, but I didn't hear them until quite a while later when I stayed with my friend Mark in Seattle, he played me their tracks on the Scandinavian Metal Attack compilation album, along with Bathory and a few other bands, I liked OZ the best. If you haven't heard this and you dig classic metal with an Occult edge, get this now you will not be disappointed. Every song here is good and damn catchy. This is their second album, but most of their albums are good with only a couple of exceptions.
1.Search Lights
2.Fortune
3.Megalomaniac
4.Black Candles
5.Gambler
6.Stop Believin'

TUFF DARTS! 1978 (US)

Great classic punk album here from 1978. I don't know how I missed this record when I was younger and really into this style of punk, its on fucking SIRE for fucks sake. I feel like I have seen it and passed on it during one of my "I'm only buying metal" phases, ha ha. They even played all the classic New york clubs with a lot of other uber famous bands. Anyway this is a really great album, not perfect but certainly a lost gem. Most of these songs are good here, some better than others. The best tracks would have to be "Rats", "She's Dead" and "(Your Love is like) Nuclear Waste", but the majority of the rest are well above average too, this is their only real album from the time period, though they did make a reunion album in 2007, but I haven't heard it. Anybody? Check it out.

VAULT - HELL OF A BLOCK 1983 (HOL)

WOW! I have been playing the shit out of this one, truly fucking amazing. Tons of punk energy with NWOBHM type riffs. At times this reminds of the Misfits, I know that's crazy but something about the delivery and melodies really makes me think of them or something else Danzig might do. A better description would be Deep Purple and the Misfits had a Hyperactive NWOBHM baby. However, this is really not a punk record, although it does come close at times. This is totally metal! Both of these songs are very catchy, very upbeat and they both get relentlessly stuck in my head. This is their first single, they also manato make ged a full album in 83 called "No more Escape" and a couple of great demos, all worth checking out. Great shit!.

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.

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.

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.
