"THE SYMBOLISM CAME FROM THE BOOK OF REVELATION..."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on the original “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” BLACK SABBATH sleeve art illustrations by Drew Struzan. Color pencil & acrylic on board, 30"x40," c. 1973.

"My concept for this album was based on two color illustrations that were given to me on my confirmation day in 1955, that I still have to this day. They are from the 1700’s and depict an evil man and a good man both at the split second of their death. When I showed them to Drew and explained the idea -- well, these pieces speak for themselves."

-- ERNIE CEFALU (Creative Director)

"I created the album art for “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” in 1973. The theme was a good man dying and a bad man dying. Yes, I’m the guy in both versions. The symbolism came from the Book of Revelation. The 666 scared parents around the world!"

-- DREW STRUZAN (American artist/illustrator/painter)

Friday, April 28: Dio, “Living the Lie”

R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio (1942-2010)

Master of the Moon was initially derided as too mid-paced and more than a little rote, and was largely forgotten in the ensuing years as Ronnie James Dio continued touring behind his back catalogue before reuniting with his former Sabbath mates under the Heaven and Hell for a glorious final run. But although the record was by no means one of his best, the last album under the Dio moniker ultimately had its share of simple pleasures, with tunes like “Living the Lie” cruising at a pace that suited Ronnie’s diminished but still compelling (and committed) vocals. Craig Goldy and Simon Wright, as co-writers, both understood exactly what they needed to do, and the riffing and drumming recalled vintage Dio without trying to recreate The Last in Line, so everything from the composition to the performance felt natural for all involved. With the benefit of hindsight, it was much easier to appreciate and even enjoy “Living the Lie” for what it was, which was a driving heavy metal tune played with finesse by a band of lifers and one resolutely focused icon.

Best New Heavy Metal Releases Week of February 24th, 2023

I think I am safe in declaring that this was hands down the strongest week overall for Heavy music of 2023 so far. The sheer length of the list can certainly attest to this. As another example of the strength of this week, I am actually still debating on moving some albums from the “Best of the Week” section to the “Standouts in the Genre” sections simply because the amount of albums is unwieldy. There are just so many damn good albums this week. Hell, I haven’t even decided what is the overall pick of the week yet. 61 albums that made the list out of 118 that were on my original playlist, so just slightly over 50% made the cut, which is one hell of a good week. So let’s get to some of these highlights before I change my mind and make the highlight section 20 albums long.

Insomnium-Anno 1696 (Melodic Death)**

Anyone that knows me also knows I am a big fan of this band. The level of attention to detail in the overall songwriting is second to none. I always get the feeling that even the most minor moments of sound coming out of my speakers were agonized over. The levels of reverb used transitioning from distorted guitars to acoustic was thought about for 5 days, with pros and cons written on a whiteboard followed by fistfights to determine the perfect level. I don’t know for sure, of course, and maybe they are just so insanely talented that they can throw an album that is this incredible together in a short weekend. You know an album is incredible when you feel that emotional response just from the act of listening to it. This album is simply breathtaking in its sheer beauty and brilliance. This album will be VERY high on my end-of-year list. You are doing yourself a disservice if you don’t listen to this album at least once, even if you don’t like the Melodic Death genre. It really is that damn good.

Ciemra-The Tread of Darkness (Melodic Black)**

From one incredible album to another. The way I was gushing about the Insomnium album, you would think that the overall pick of the week is obvious. I did as well as I have listened to that Insomnium album via a promo for about the last three weeks. During that time, I was absolutely certain it had the top spot nailed down. Until I heard this. Debut album from this Melodic Black Metal band out of Belarus. I’m not prone to hyperbole, at least I don’t feel that I am, but this is hands down the BEST debut album in this genre that I have EVER heard. Mainly mid-tempo throughout, with incredible riffing and melody lines over the top, breaking into these acoustic passages that remind me of classic Opeth at times. There are definitely moments of speed here and there but it always falls back into that mid-tempo groove that they do incredibly well. Off of the very first listen, I was online buying this album on vinyl, even though I knew the shipping rates from Europe would be almost as much as the album itself. This album is worth three times the amount I paid for it. All I can really say is wow….fucking wow.

Marvel-Double Decade (Hard Rock)**

I wasn’t sure if I should include this on this list as this is all out Rock at its very heaviest. I decided to, as I know from personal experience, most people that are into metal have an open mind and feel that good music is good music. Well, this is good music. What would you get if you put the Hellacopters, Thin Lizzy, Cheap Trick and Jet into a blender? This album right here. This album is a compilation of 23 tracks spanning an hour and 17 minutes and worth every minute.

Death Pill-Death Pill (Punk/Crossover)**

I’m sure there are more than a few women that are extremely pissed off here in the US with all the bullshit thrown their way. Hell, I’m sure this level of anger can be felt all over the world to some degree or another. I say all of this because if you are looking for an album that distills this anger down into a musical form, these four ladies have you covered. Being from Ukraine, they have more things to be angry about than the average and that feeling is palpable here. Just from the very first listen, this band went on my list of “must see” live bands. Hopefully, I will get that chance.

I will cut it off there as with me gushing about the Insomnium and Ciemra albums, this post is already too damn long. Great albums deserve praise and I am definitely here for it. Listen to music and fill your soul with happiness. Until next week, and as always,

BANG THY HEAD!!!

GWAR always has the craziest fans. They wear white t-shirts to get soaked by the bloody liquid. I opted not to be in the photo pit to ensure I didn't get any on my camera. Super fun show always!

Tuesday, June 6: Andrew W.K., "Party 'til You Puke"

Some 20 years removed from all the hype and controversy, I Get Wet holds up as an epic soccer holler that is nothing more or less than a half hour blast of energy, with any questions about irony or authenticity rendered wholly irrelevant. And trying to analyze something called “Party ‘til You Puke” in the spirit of assessing its intentions is entirely beside the point. With Andrew W.K., at least at this stage, the message was right there in the slamming guitars, frantic drumming (courtesy of Obituary’s Donald Tardy) and shouted chorus. Party til you goddamn puke- that’s all there was, and all there needed to be.
