If its heavy metal, it qualifies as far as im concerned.
Good enough for me, just wasn't sure.

Dystopia is a Sludge band that takes elements of Crust and combines them together. I'm a big fan of the band but a lot of people are turned off due to the vocals. The vocals are certainly different, and I can see why they are disliked by some people. Most people seem to either love Dystopia or hate them. If you're interested in checking them out, I suggest starting at the early stuff and come foward to the newest stuff they released. Unfortunately the band is broken up.

Human = Garbage (Comp.)
The Aftermath (Comp.)
Dystopia (Full Length)

Is the order I would recommend checking out the Dystopia albums in. You essentially get all of the bands material with those three releases, but if you're a big enough fan you can go back and get the rest of the releases. Anyway, not to take anymore of your time up with my mindless babble here is a song.

I was hoping this would just be a classic Heavy Metal thread and other sub genres coming later?

Anyhow here is some more classic Metal from the 80's:



another 3 piece who came from Canada and the vocalist was also the drummer- no mean feat!:


One of a rare few all female bands and pretty decent too. Major crush on these when I bought the album aged 17!


Acid were part of a rarely talked about Dutch Metal scene around 1983 with bands straying into early Thrash although this one is more mellow:


another Newcastle band with atrocious album artwork, raw production but I love this:

Pantera:





I'm not sure if these guys count as metal because I'm not a genre expert like some members on here but its sure as hell good enough for me:

Well I have been listening to Deep Purple a lot and of course they're one of the founding fathers of the genre.

If you tried singing along to Child in Time you'd freak out everyone around you. I should try that sometime.

Gillian is an awesome singer, I love his freak outs. The best Purple tunes are always the ones where he lets loose.

That was a particularly brilliant post, Jackhammer! And man, Deep Purple is one of my favourite rock bands ever!

Since it's heavy metal week, I'd like to take the opportunity to pay a little homage to the late Ronnie James Dio who, as you should know, recently died. You know, that strange italian singer with the frizzy hair who seems a bit odd in his videos, but .. damn, I got to see him last year when he was 66 years old and he really did have energy, stage presence by the bucketload and a genuine warmth and friendliness towards us, the audience. I love that weirdo.

Here are some classic tracks from him and the bands he sang in.



Stargazer is an old favourite with Rainbow fans. His partner in crime here is Ritchie Blackmore who eventually took complete control of the band. Dio eventually left and created .. Dio.

Dio (the band) is most known for their 1983 debut album, Holy Diver, which is considered a metal classic.



The title track is the most famous Dio song. It's a brilliant track with weirdass cheese lyrics and an absolutely horrible music video



The second hit "everyone" knows from Holy Diver is Rainbow in the Dark with even more cheese-dripping lyrics than the last ("I cry out for magic!"). That doesn't stop it from kicking ass! And it also has a horribly awesome video.

Rumour has it that Ronnie, when hearing the "finished" studio product of Rainbow in the Dark, wanted to tear the recording tape apart because he thought the sound of this song was too commercial. However, according to the story, he was stopped by his band mates.



So it's not all hits, I'll include something else .. I've always liked the song Gypsy from the debut as well.



Eriel from Magica (released in 2000 I think) is probably my favourite Dio song of them all. I think it's excellent - classic heavy metal! It's just sad that the rest of the album is not as good.

May his music and memory live on!
