HEAVY METAL RULES!!!!!

Steel Panther latest album Heavy Metal Rules which releases on September 27th indeed does solidify that heavy metal does rules.

Steel Panther who have been licking ass and forgetting names or maybe it was getting ass and forgetting names, either way Steel Panther gets all the bitches. With Heavy Metal Rules this is Steel Panthers 5th album and if you have been living under a shitty ass rock for the past 10+ years, you should know who Steel Panther is and what they bring to the table. Kick ass Songs, Amazing Guitar shreds, and lots of Venereal diseases.

Heavy Metal Rules doesn’t disappoint the millions of fans that Steel Panther wish they had but the few they do will enjoy it. Opening up with the track All I want to do is Fuck (myself tonight) the album grabs you by the balls and doesn’t let go. Michael Starr, Satchel, Lexxi Foxx and Stix Zadinia are a force to be reckoned with in the metal community.

Some of the highlights of Heavy Metal Rules are songs like Always gonna be a Ho, Fuck Everybody, and Gods of Pussy. The full album from beginning to end is a great album and shows that not only are Steel Panther a really kick ass band but they show that in this world of everybody being PC friendly that you can still think outside the box and sometimes put 2 in the pink and 1 in the Stink and still have fun and just enjoy life. Steel Panther also put on a hell of a live show that makes you laugh the whole time and makes you put the metal horns out and the tits out too.

Go out and buy this album when it Drops on September 27th and if you blast it from your car the bitches will cream themselves and want to be sex slave (not an actual guarantee)

BUSH 30th ANNIVERSARY OF “SIXTEEN STONE” VINYL

Ron

I remember when this album came out in 1994 . I was 15 and really discovering all types of music. As being a typical teenage boy I seen the band name “Bush” and thought hmm I love bush, let’s check it out.  It was such an amazing album from beginning to end.  

The new  released vinyl that just came out on November 17th is such a testament to this album being as great then as it is now. Listening to the vinyl just brought back so many memories of being an angst teenager that just wanted to heard. The vinyl package is amazing with lots of photos of the band throughout the years and the sound of the vinyl is so pristine. 

I got my hands on the opaque red vinyl and just looks awesome spinning on the player. It’s crazy to think that this album has so many hits and no filler songs, even the songs that didn’t become hits are just as good as the hits. 

With the hits being “Glycerine”, “Everything Zen” , “Comedown” “Little Things” and “Machinehead” but some of my favorite songs are not the hits songs like “Swim”, “Bomb” and “Alien” which is probably my favorite song on the album. If you’re a fan of Bush or this album or just want to dive into the mid 90s Grunge/Post Grunge era this is a key album to have in your collection.

ALICE IN CHAINS “BLACK GIVES WAY TO BLUE” VINYL REVIEW

Alice In Chains have Re-Released the 2009 album on vinyl. This album was the first Alice In Chains in 14 years and the first album with guitarist/singer Willam DuVall after Layne Staley passed away in 2002. 

I was a huge Alice In Chains fan and was a big fan of both Layne and Jerry. When this album first came out I remember sorta pushing it the side only cause of sadness about Layne but after hearing “Check My Brain” I gave it a chance and was so glad that I did. This album is amazing and really put Alice In Chains back into the mainstream. 

The vinyl not only looks super awesome but sounds amazing. If you’re a fan of Alice In Chains and into collecting Vinyl, this album is a must in your collection. It’s a great packed vinyl with 2 vinyls included. 

Side A: All Secrets Known, Check My Brain and Last of My Kind. Side B: Your Decision, A Looking in View. Side C: When The Sun Rose Again, Acid Bubble, Lesson Learned. Side D: Take Her Out, Private Hell, Black Gives Away To Blue

VENDED: Album Review

Published

on

9/20/24 sees the independent release of the full-length, self-titled debut album from Des Moines, Iowa natives Vended. Featuring vocalist Griffin Taylor, Simon Crahan on drums, Jeremiah Pugh on bass, Cole Espland on lead guitar, and Connor Grodzicki on rhythm guitar.

On this album they have taken more abrasive elements of nu metal as seen in the late 90s from bands like Slipknot and Soulfly and utilized elements of metalcore to slap a fresh coat of paint on the style. There are elements that remind me of the more modern and spastic styles of nu metal, similar to a band like Tallah. 

Griffin’s vocal styling showcases mid-range screams as the main driving force bending the vocals. True to the nu metal elements, the rage and anger perceived from the screams are offset by the occasional catchy riff or fast talking, almost rapping stylized lyrics. 

Crahan shows an impressive command of rhythm with his double bass drum. Driving each track forward with a machine gun-like purpose, which makes the more groove-oriented parts hit much harder. Crahan, in addition to the rest of the rhythm section (Espland and Pugh), all really work together well to keep the momentum moving forward while not sacrificing said groove. 

While I wouldn’t call it album of the year or anything. It’s definitely worth checking out. Standout tracks: “Nihilism” and “The Far Side”. 

Vended can be found on the usual socials. And the album is available on all streaming platforms. And physical copies can be purchased though https://www.officialvended.com
