STATE OF THE WORLD ADDRESS (WARNER, 1994) This is the ninth track from Biohazard’s absolutely killer album — the one that really got me into the band once and for all. My favorite track from the album is the video single “Tales from the Hard Side“, but “Failed Territory” is a very close second, if …
ECLIPSE (NUCLEAR BLAST, 2006) This is the 6th track on Eclipse, the seventh studio album by Finnish progressive metal band Amorphis. I just love this band — I’ve been following them ever since their debut studio album, Karelian Isthmus. That said, I’ve got to admit that the few albums prior to Eclipse weren’t that interesting …
TERMINATION BLISS (NUCLEAR BLAST, 2006) This is both an album title and a track by Deathstars — which, if you didn’t know yet, is a killer band from Sweden. The song itself is okay, but it’s not by far their best. The album as a whole, on the other hand, is damn good! So I’ll …
SABBATH BLOODY SABBATH (VERTIGO, 1973) This is the last track on Black Sabbath’s fifth studio album — and it’s one of my favorite tracks by the band as well. To this day, I still listen to Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and its follow-up, Sabotage, regularly. You could say these two are my go-to albums whenever I’m …
ACTIVE: 2000- Deathstars is a Swedish pop/goth-ish metal band. And if you ask me, the description says it loud and clear: this band really knows how to write catchy tunes. They’ve been around for a decent amount of time, and sure, I’ve bumped into their name every now and then — but I never felt …
LIVE… IN THE RAW (CAPITOL, 1987) This is an absolutely killer track from W.A.S.P. and it appears as the closing track (at least on the original release) on their first live album, Live… in the Raw. This song was recorded for and used in the movie Ghoulies II. So it appears on the album as …
ACTIVE: 1987- Biohazard is an American hardcore band from Brooklyn, New York. They’re one of the earliest bands to fuse hardcore punk and heavy metal with elements of hip-hop. My crewmate Dams introduced me to their music, but I’ve got to admit: at first, I wasn’t that impressed. Then came 1994 and the release of …
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? (OUT OF LINE, 2007) I have a feeling this post might get blacklisted by most search engines — just because of the name of the song (and the album it’s on). Let’s see how far this gets me at the social media platforms. But if you did …
PETETTYJEN PUOLUE (MONSP, 2019) Ei Viestiä Piiskanpitäjille (No Message to Whipholders) is a song by the Finnish rock band Petettyjen Puolue. The band hasn’t been very active lately — I’m not sure if they’ve called it quits or not — but so far, they’ve released one full album of music. And what an album it …
ACTIVE: 2016- Petettyjen Puolue (Party of the Betrayed) is — or was — a Finnish rock group whose vocalist is none other than rap artist Steen1, a good friend of mine. But this isn’t rap; it’s more like a Finnish version of Rage Against the Machine, with some Tool vibes. Or so I’m told (I …
