The Metal Project: 2008

The Metal Project: A mission to find every Metal song on Youtube that actually has "Metal" in the title. Up to this point I've found 800+

2008 saw releases from three of the biggest names in rock; Guns N Roses unleashed "Chinese Democracy" - an album that took 14 years, $13 million dollars and several line-up changes to make, 
Metallica came out with their follow up to the disastrous "St. Anger" with "Death Magnetic"  then headlined the Reading & Leeds festivals and AC/DC showed the youngsters how it's done with "Black Ice" .
 The name on everybody's lips this years was...Anvil! The Canadian veterans were the subject of a documentary chronicling their history and a disastrous European tour. "Anvil - The Story Of Anvil" was a worldwide hit and led to something of a renaissance for the band.
  And finally, Neil Buchanan, a staple of UK kids tv for decades with "Art Attack", decided to get his guitars down from the loft and rejoin his NWOBHM outfit Marseille. They continue to tour to this day and if any of them happen to be reading this...Play Portsmouth dammit!
 Now on to the music. I think I've got a decent variety this time around.

We shall begin with some no-frills Trad Metal.

Steelpreacher - Hooked On Metal (Germany)

Honour to: HarisTheLinkPurkovic 

And if that was too slow for you, try this.
The same band have a vid called "Dance Of Mutant Knight"
This I have to see!

Altheniko - Metal Unchained (Italy)

Honour to: isaac36697

By way of contrast, downtuned heaviness in a 1990s vaguely Pantera-ish stylee.

P.O.G.O - Vision Metal (Mexico)

Honour to: TheMetalofficial
He has a blog here:

This one starts slow then shifts into that grinding, relentless rythmn that 
makes me wish I could still headbang.

Serpentine Fire - Metal Magic (Macedonia)

Honour to: BombaRuLz

I don't seem to post much Death Metal.
So... here's some Death Metal
Enjoy.

Blastmasters - Twisted Metal (USA)

Honour to: Aantar1

Time for another Trad Metal anthem to the glory that is Heavy Metal

Cast Iron - Leather & Metal (Finland)

Honour to: Dickbauch73

Crunchy yet melodic Power Metal 

Tarchon Fist - Metal Detector (Italy)

Honour to: frozendevil91

Yet more Italians  but these boys are  a tad thrashier.
Think Venom without the cranked -up bass, maybe? 

Bahomet's Blood - Baphometal (Italy)

Honour to: WorldsBlasphemy

Neckbreaker - In The Name Of Metal (Brazil)


Honour to: fernandasabbat

And finally..
This seemed an appropriate sentiment to finish on.
Manowar meets Maiden Trad Metal

Metal Law -Heavy  Metal is Forever (Germany)

Honour to: aerogun18

I'm not sure what I'm doing for the next post. I might post some more from 2008
 or I might scoot ahead to 2009.

Anyway, See you next time.
