The New Wave Of British Heavy Metal

Another reason why the late '70s and early '80s were thee best era for rock and roll... Punk rock, punks getting weird, synth music, nasty disco music, early rap,  hardcore, industrial, noise and fucking metal... All of the stuff I like the best for the most part being done the best it would be done or at least laying down the foundation for it...

NWOBHM to me at least; is when punk and metal crossed over... It's like crossing priest with motorhead or something... Shit is faster and cleaner than it used to be but not super fucking fast yet... just mid-tempo headbangers... and that is my fucking jam.
throw in some shit about satan and I'm there, dude...

this documentary/tv show kindof scratches the surface of it and probably the episode before and the one after would give it a more complete view, but it's a decent start anyway... when I think of the NWOBHM I pretty much think of diamond head. They are in here a bit, but mostly this is about iron maiden. Fucking killers, for sure- but we already know all about iron maiden... I'm surprised that they hated punk so much... I saw an interview with paul di'anno where he was talking about how much he loved punk rock... so... maybe that was part of the split...  



Maiden live in 81 (killers era with di'anno)

Anyway, here are a few more fucking ragers...




diamond head / motorhead / saxon / holocaust / grim reaper / judas priest / venom / mercyful fate (were danish, I know... this playlist isn't strict on anything but having sweet metal jams from that general era... whatever...)

ps. you should totally get that first diamond head record. it is killer.




And finally, here are the Brats who would later became Mercyful Fate. It's as perfect a mix of punk and metal as one can find in the world and it's cool to hear how some of these riffs later became mercyful fate parts. fucking killer. If you like this you should look for "1980" because it slays. The lost tapes and the 1981 demos are great too...
enjoy...

Stephen O'Malley on music and art

Lecture: Stephen O'Malley (New York, 2013) from Red Bull Music Academy on Vimeo.

I'm not nescessarily the biggest fan of his music, but it was a nice interview and he seems like a good dude... Wish the interviewer was a bit more severe and got into some of this stuff a bit deeper... but... what can you do? I guess aside from interview people yourself...

Fenriz' Black Metal University

This is the drummer of Darkthrone going over the history of black metal as he sees it. Something new? not really, but entertaining all the same. I just like seeing people who love music talk about music... Certainly interesting to metal fans and to people who may be curious about the trve black metal...

(a little bit of overlap with the videos, but whatever...)

But I can't think of many groups who can do what they do or as well.
