Black Sabbath are: (left to right) (note: classic lineup)

Ozzy Osbourne - Vocals
Tony Iommi - Guitar
Geezer Butler - Bass
Bill Ward - Drums


Guitarist Tony Iommi was greatly influenced both by Hank Marvin's heavy guitar performances in the band Cliff Richard and the Shadows, and by jazz guitar, particularly that of Django Reinhardt. Iommi left Earth for a short time to tour with Jethro Tull. Ward has also expressed a fondness for jazz music, especially drummers like Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa. Geezer Butler cites bassist/vocalist Jack Bruce of British blues band Cream as a major influence on him: “He was the first player I ever saw who bent the strings and played the bass as a totally independent instrument”. Early incarnations of Black Sabbath merged elements of blues, jazz, and rock and paid their dues playing cover versions of songs by heavy rock acts including Jimi Hendrix, Blue Cheer, and the previously mentioned Cream. Osbourne says he was deeply influenced by The Beatles and his favourite album of all time is Revolver.


Earth moved in a darker direction when their bassist, Geezer Butler, a fan of the black magic novels of Dennis Wheatley, wrote an occult-themed song titled "Black Sabbath" The band claimed however, during a concert film, that the song name has more sinister origins. They have claimed that the name was created when one night Butler allegedly saw a black figure at the end of his bed. The next day it became apparent to Butler that an occult book Osbourne had given him was missing. When the band found themselves being confused with another local band called Earth, they adopted the song title as their new band name.


The group found its signature sound almost by accident. When the group was rehearsing in a studio, which was situated opposite a cinema showing a horror movie, Osbourne recalls that Tony Iommi remarked to the rest of the band how it was strange that people willingly paid to see a movie intended to scare them. The band began to purposely write dark, ominous songs in an attempt to be music's answer to horror films, and in rebellion against the prevalent happy pop music of the 1960s. In a VH1 documentary about the band, Ozzy Osbourne recalled the laughable lyrics of radio-friendly pop at the time, such as "if you ever go to San Francisco, be sure to wear a flower in your hair...," - "screw that,", they said, "let's go over there and scare everyone!"

Skid Row - 18 and Life Skid Row is an American heavy metal band which became the hair metal prototypes of the late 1980s metal scene and were reasonably successful until they were eclipsed by the Seattle grunge bands in 1991.




Skid Row has released five full-length albums, an EP, a compilation album and a live recording. Their first two albums, Skid Row (1989) and Slave to the Grind (1991), are considered the band's best known works to date. Their last full-length album, Revolutions Per Minute, came out on October 24, 2006.

They are often associated with hair metal, partly due to their appearance and their sound on their debut album, Skid Row which spawned the hits "18 and Life" and "Youth Gone Wild" for the band.

They would eventually go on to make music more akin to Thrash metal with Hard rock leanings. Some are of the opinion that during their later years with Sebastian Bach as vocalist, the band resembled Lääz Rockit in sound and image. The band bought the name Skid Row from Gary Moore's first band Skid Row.

So many songs/videos to choose from but in the end it just had to be Hail and Kill.

Manowar is an American heavy metal band from Auburn, New York, which formed in 1980 . They are known for creating lyrics with a very heavy emphasis on fantastic and mythologic topics.



Manowar are: (left to right)
Scott Columbus - drums and percussion
Eric Adams - vocals
Joey DeMaio - bass guitars / guitars / keyboards / classical guitar
Karl Logan - guitars / keyboards / classical guitar

Former members include:
(THE LEGENDARY!) Ross The Boss - guitars
Rhino - drums

The story goes that Joey DeMaio was working as a pyro guy for Black Sabbath in the late 70's where he met Ross The Boss who was playing in Shakin Street. They decided to get together, picked up Eric Adams and Donny Hamzik and formed Manowar in 1980. The dropped their first album "Battle Hymns" and the rest is history.

Fun Facts:

* Manowar owns and runs its entire operation from recording to media production to their own label, Magic Circle Music. They do this so they don't have to compromise their music and to give their highest quality products to fans.

* During an interview when asked what he thought about Metallica, Joey DeMaio replied, "I'm sorry, I don't listen to country music."

Fear Factory - Ressurection
Fear Factory is a Los Angeles, California based metal band. They formed in 1990 and have since released seven full-length albums and a number of singles and remixes, over the course of which they have evolved from a succession of, as well as steadily pioneered a hybrid of, the styles of death metal, industrial metal, groove metal and alternative metal; the resultant techniques in sound and vocal styles proving to be enormously influential on the extreme metal scene from the mid-90s and onwards. Their most recent album, Transgression, described as a more experimental and atypical effort, has also contained elements of pop music and progressive metal.

 

Christian Olde Wolbers - guitar
Byron Stroud - bass
Raymond Herrera - drums
Burton C. Bell - vocals

Also, interestingly enough, Fear Factory often has Rhys Fulber of Front Line Assembly playing keyboards on tour. Rhys Fulber remixed Fear Factory's most popular album "Demanufacture" which was re-released as "Remanufacture".

Fear Factory will begin writing new material for their eighth studio album in the summer of 2007. The album will be produced by the band. Bell has confirmed that Fear Factory has recently parted ways with Liquid 8 Records and it is currently unclear which label the new album will be released on. They are also currently working on a third remix album, a preview of which has been posted on their official MySpace page.]]> Thu, 31 May 2007 13:18:00 -0500 http://www.clickcaster.com/items/fear-factory---ressurection http://www.clickcaster.com/items/fear-factory---ressurection http://www.clickcaster.com/items/fear-factory---ressurection 3527356 While digging around looking at some live Fear Factory vids for today, I did stumble across this studio video for Ressurection, which is a great track from the album Obsolete.  Fear Factory is a Los Angeles, California based metal band.

Marduk - Baptisim by Fire Marduk's predominant lyrical topics are Satanism, anti-Christianity, Biblical wars, Nazism and World War II. The latter two are a later addition to their lyrical / conceptual themes, stemming from their 1999 release Panzer Division Marduk; quickly growing among their fans' favorites. Marduk have released more and more songs relating to those dark but fascinating chapters of human history such as "The Hangman of Prague" (monicker of Prague "Reichsprotektor" Reinhard Heydrich), "Night of the Long Knives", "Deathmarch" and others. It has to be noted, however, that by singing about Nazi Germany, Marduk do not subscribe to the tenets of 'national socialist black metal' scene (NSBM), their approach not being justificatory or praising.

Arioch a.k.a. Mortuus - Vocals
Lars Broddesson - Drums


In this particular video, Erik Hagstedt a.k.a Legion is on vocals. Many fans hail the time between 1995 - 2003 as the "classic" Marduk era when Legion was the vocalist.


Marduk was founded in Norrköping, Sweden in 1990 by Morgan Steinmeyer Håkansson. His ultimate goal was to create the most blasphemous and Satanic band ever conceptualized. In 1991, Marduk released a three song demo entitled Fuck me Jesus, which due to its dark and irreverent lyrics was highly received by a cult following. In 1992, Marduk released their first full-length album Dark Endless on the No Fashion label and continued to tour Sweden, augmenting their steadily growing fan base. Marduk switched over to the French label Osmose in 1993 after a dispute with No Fashion. Marduk began to tour throughout the rest of Europe in 1994 and in 1995 had their first gig across the Atlantic in Mexico City. They continued to amass fans and release albums over the next few years, even spearheading the European "Black Metal Assault Tour" in 1998. In 2000, Marduk founded their own record label, Blooddawn Productions. Marduk continues to tour Europe, release albums, and is regularly featured in many prominent metal music festivals. In 2004 Marduk released their ninth studio album Plague Angel which was a great hit all over Europe and later on in the United States. To celebrate Marduk's 15-year anniversary a live album called Warschau was released with seventeen live tracks from a show in Warsaw, Poland on September 17, 2005.

S.O.D - Seasoning the Obese So I was sitting here trying to decide what today's video would be. Thumbing through my collection of DVDs, looking in my media server and scoping around on YouTube when it hit me that today's video had to be from a classic 80's band. While digging through all the usual suspects, I stumbled over an old S.O.D. video and it was on. So today I bring you:



Stormtroopers of Death, more commonly known as S.O.D., formed in New York in 1985. They are commonly credited as being among the first bands to fuse hardcore punk with thrash metal into a new sound dubbed crossover thrash. They have also been the target of controversy due to their politically-incorrect lyrics, in particular a track named "Speak English or Die".

S.O.D. were made up of memebers of Anthrax (Scott Ian and Charlie Benante), Nuclear Assault (Danny Lilker) and Psychos (Billy Milano) after the idea for a drawing Scott Ian used to do if a character named "Sargent D".

An interesting note of the band is that they release an album every seven years, and because of this, some fans were expecting a release in 2006. In 2005, Megaforce Records released a new S.O.D. live DVD, 20 Years of Dysfunction, and the label's website claimed that a new S.O.D. CD "will be forthcoming in the winter of 2005". That, coupled with Heather Lilker's statement that S.O.D. are under contract by Nuclear Blast to release one more album, it does appear that there will be a third record at some point.


However, as of 2007, there is little chance the third studio album will emerge. Relations have soured to the extent of no further collaboration being discussed.

Thumbing through my collection of DVDs, looking in my media server and scoping around on YouTube when it hit me that today's video had to be from a classic 80's band. While digging through all the usual suspects, I stumbled over an old S.O.D. video and it was on. So today I bring you: Stormtroopers of Death, more commonly known as S.O.D., formed in New York in 1985. They are commonly credited as being among the first bands to fuse hardcore punk with thrash metal into a new sound dubbed crossover thrash. They have also been the target of controversy due to their politically-incorrect lyrics, in particular a track named "Speak English or Die". S.O.D. were made up of memebers of Anthrax (Scott Ian and Charlie Benante), Nuclear Assault (Danny Lilker) and Psychos (Billy Milano) after the idea for a drawing Scott Ian used to do if a character named "Sargent D". An interesting note of the band is that they release an album every seven years, and because of this, some fans were expecting a release in 2006.

Motörhead are (left to right):
Phil Campbell - Guitar
Mikkey Dee - Drums
Lemmy - Bass and Vocals

Motörhead was formed in 1975 by Lemmy after he was thrown out of another band "Hawkwind" for "doing the wrong drugs" as he put it. Lemmy's stated aim was for the outfit to be, "the dirtiest rock n' roll band in the world" and that, "if Motörhead moved in next to you, your lawn would die".

Even though Motörhead's first album was released in 1977, the band didn't really hit big until the October 1980 release of the most well known album "Ace of Spades" which included the hit single of the same name. That single reached #15 on the UK Charts and the whole album made it to #4 in the same year. The band's skyrocket to stardom got them not one but two appearances on "Top of the Pops" in October 1980.

While metal fans around the world know that Motörhead is a household name, it took the mainstream music industry nearly 30 years to acknowledge that fact.
Motörhead picked up their first Grammy in the awards of 2005 in the Best Metal Performance category for their cover of Metallica's "Whiplash" on Metallic Attack: Metallica: The Ultimate Tribute Album.

Motörhead songs have been covered by everyone from Coal to Sayticon, Guns n Roses to Sepultura.

Fun Facts:

* The orginal name of the band was "Bastard" but in Doug Smith, the band's manager, advised them "It's unlikely that we're going to get on Top of the Pops with a name like 'Bastard'"

* Motörhead got their name from the last song Lemmy wrote for Hawkwind. It is also a slang term for someone who uses a lot of speed.

* While many refer to Motörhead as heavy metal, Lemmy dislikes the name and simply calls them a rock and roll band.

* Motörhead contributed the song "You Better Swim" to the Spongebob Squarepants Movie.
 
* Motörhead spells its name with an umlaut over the second "o". However, this umlaut does not alter the pronunciation of the band's name. When asked if Germans pronounced the band "Motuuuurhead", Lemmy answered "No, they don't. I only put it in there to look mean".]]> Thu, 24 May 2007 10:43:00 -0500 http://www.clickcaster.com/items/mot-rhead---orgasmatron http://www.clickcaster.com/items/mot-rhead---orgasmatron http://www.clickcaster.com/items/mot-rhead---orgasmatron 3526934 Today we have a look at one of the most influential bands in the history of metal, Motörhead .
