Marc Almond hit the charts with one of the most enduring, wettest, sleazy hits of synth-pop, Soft Cell’s “Tainted Love,” a cover of Gloria Lewis’ 1964 hit.
Original Manowar guitarist Ross The Boss was also a Dictator, so he’s been around a bunch of cool bands. Solid grounding in meat and potatoes rock ‘n’ roll.
Lemmy, Mikkey, and Phil: The longest-running lineup by far and the most prolific, keeps grinding out record after record of material better than the old stuff.
Traditional rock instruments plus “Japanese” and “metal” percussion. Pretty great big rumble-grunt vs. doom-grind. That you can’t understand a word helps too.
A bell-ringer that hit the doom gong in a new way. A slow, grind-inflected deathly thud subtracting the rock and adding more coagulated crush and heavy drone.
Great band, new singer. This guy Matt can yell, but he’s been on the same one note for the last five songs, and there’s only so long I can sit through it.
