I love Metalocalypse as much as any metalhead, but the animated soap opera of a gloriously dumb-ass metal band doesn’t make the actual songs any better.
They started out hardcore on Revelation, went death metal on Prosthetic, and are now a might roar-machine on Century Media. Some rubs my metal belly just right.
26 tracks compiling all the “leftovers” that didn’t fit with the “theme” of a particular album. It stands up as dated Danzig material, which is all of it.
Falsetto-howled classic heavy metal with plenty of throat-scratched snarl. Double-bass thunder, silly lyrics, and grooves/breakdowns to move your ass..
The Ronnie era was a rock solid, efficient, self-aware time for Black Sabbath, and folks pretty much dig both Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules, as they should.
Start with Clawfinger, then add a little OSI, for Scarsick contains nü metal riffs, rappy vocals, and then lots of trippy contemplating bits textured up nicely.
