OPETH - "Windowpane" from "Damnation"

A mellow song from the number 1 band in the world (not debatable)

Enjoy !

Video - Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast

This is one of Metal's proudest moments; Iron Maiden's "Number of the beast"! This song is still very strong, and I think I probably could stand hearing it a few thousand times more :-)

Heavy and groovy -- these are gonna become big!

This is from their album "A drug for all seasons".

F5 - A Drug for all Seasons

Artist: F5
Record: A drug for all seasons
Published: Cleopatra, 2005

David Ellefson didn’t want to rest on his laurels after Megadeth was (temporarily, apparently) dissolved. Nope, it was too early for retirement. So he, Dale Steele, Steve Conley, Dave Small and John Davis formet F5.

The music is hard and heavy, but always melodic -- promise of sweetnesssss :-)

I gotta admit I was very curious as how they would sound; all I knew was that they wouldn’t sound anything like Megadeth. I immediately liked the sound of the record, and you can hear they know what they’re doing. But I couldn’t help but feel that didn’t quite hit the spot, there was still something left to be desired.

You can sense already with the first song there is something good comming, with "Faded", but I guess they are at a stage where they concentrate too hard to find their own sound that the songs become too much alike. Much of the "Faded"-sound is kept throughout the album. "Fall to me" raises the pulse again, but it really doesn’t take off yet. The same with "Bleeding". "Hold me down" promises a lot, but doesn’t deliver for "the big one". OK, it was still a good album, but just not great. And it’s their first one, so they’ll make "the big one" later. But then came "Look you in the eyes" -- HOLY SHIT! That’s the one! At last they took it all out! They saved the sweetnessssss for last...

But something strange; I can’t help but think about Blaze Bayley, Iron Maiden’s former singer, on "Hold me down". And at the beginning of "Look you in the eyes" I can’t help but get a Bruce Dickinson-vibe... (Iron Maiden’s present singer). Is it only me?!?

Highlights
Obviously "Look you in the eyes", but "Hold me down" is also good, as is "Bleeding". They’re too experienced to make any poor songs.

Megadeth - Countdown to Extinction

Artist: Megadeth
Record: Countdown to Extinctions
Published: Capitol, 1992

This is a big one. One of the biggest. Perhaps even THE biggest, in my humble opinion. Am I biting over more than I can chew? I don't think so.

This record is completely without dull parts. Each and every song on this album would be one of the best songs on any Megadeth album. "Countdown to Extinction" is packed with awesome riffs (few make cooler riffs than Dave Mustaine!), great songs, fast and furious solos, great lyrics, melodies that just stick in your ears, Dave's angry vocals, perfect timing...

The lyrics are well written. Dave Mustaine always write well, but this time he out-did himself! After listening to "Captive honor" I'm pretty sure you'll try avoiding spending time in jail any time soon... Another example is the title cut, which is about the "brave" trophy hunters, killing species threatened by extinction simply... ...because they can.

Megadeth has made several good records both before and after this one, but "Countdown to extinction" is Megadeth's most successful album -- this is high quality metal throughout the record.

Highlights
On such a complete album as this one, selecting highlights is very difficult, but it's hard do avoid songs like "Symphony of destruction", "Sweating bullets" and the title cut, "Countdown to extinction".

This is simply a must-have!
