    I'll tell u end of Sept.

     

    Pointless at moment as most of my most anticipated albums are still to come

    It's not pointless. The thread title specifically reads "at the moment."

    It is pointless when the whole top 10 will change in 6 weeks ;)

    But we don't care about your top ten six weeks from now. We wanna know your current top ten.

     

     

    And yours too Karrpetass.

    Shame the forum isn't like facebook

    Bite your tongue, infidel! :lol:

     

    Social media is what killed off most message boards around the Interwebz.

     

    I loathe Fuckbook and its algorithms and arbitrarily deciding what order to display shit in and what to display or not display. Not to mention that the entire thing is populated by whining triggered snowflake millenials all desperately hunting for things to be offended at.

     

    Naw, fuck dat.

    I'm with you 100%.

     

    I really hate it. Especially if you see something on your page and go later to show someone else, it's buried somewhere and un-find-able.

     

    Zuckerberg can eat a bag of dicks.

    WTF is this doing on Heavy Fuckin' Harmonies?????????????

    "A place to link to and discuss music videos of ALL genres".

     

    Excuse me for posting something i thought the members might not have seen and would enjoy.

     

    Besides....... I don't think that song is that out of place here. It has that cool retro psychedelic rock feel to it.

     

    It's certainly more appropriate than some of the "Synthwave" shit that gets posted occasionally.

     

     

    All musical genres except for CRAP. :P

     

    Just yanking yer chain. I actually like the gambler! :D

  5. ACCEPT%2B-%2BThe%2BRise%2BOf%2BChaos%2B%

     

    Continuing the post-reunion run of albums that has firmly re-established ACCEPT as modern guardians of old-school values, new album "The Rise Of Chaos" is unlikely to attract those who remain impervious to the atavistic truth of heavy metal, but Maiden and Priest aside, it’s hard to think of another band of this vintage that hit the bull’s-eye with such consistency.

     

    Once again produced to speaker-flattening perfection by Andy Sneap, this latest batch of Teutonic anthems is easily their strongest since 2010’s Blood Of The Nations.

     

    Opener 'Die By The Sword' (not a Slayer cover, incidentally) and the pummelling 'Hole In The Head' set the tone, with countless thrillingly brutish riffs and moments of sublime melodic showmanship from evergreen lead guitarist Wolf Hoffmann, before the title track briskly encapsulates the whole Accept experience via five minutes of timeless and towering old-school muscle.

     

    The rest, from the wonderfully goofy 'Koolaid' to epic finale, 'Race To Extinction', are equally exhilarating and further proof, as if it were needed, that in ACCEPT hands traditional metal is alive, kicking and as exciting as ever.

     

    Yeah, short review, let the music do the talking.

     

    You won't get better true metal than this these days.

     

    Highly Recommended

  6. It's not actually the worst song ever, but how is that Autograph in any way, shape or form? Sounds like a dodgy Helix b-side or something. No offence to Helix, they're just different bands.

     

    Plunkett didn't do Autograph's legacy any favours by adding the 'Buzz' album to their discography, but this isn't helping either. Neither this, or 'Buzz' are what any fan of Autograph associate their sound/style with.

     

    100% correct!

    BLACK BAMBI TO FINALLY RELEASE THEIR DEBUT ALBUM 30 YEARS LATER

     

    AUGUST 13, 2017 ANDREW CATANIA LEAVE A COMMENT

    What do you do when all of your plans go sideways? Picture this: It’s 1990, and you’re in one of, if not the most hotly tipped rock band in the United States. Tons of press sold out club shows around Southern California and girls lining up as far as the eye can see.

     

    And then, nothing. The ride comes to an abrupt halt, and you’re left scratching your head and wondering where and how it all went wrong.

     

    Such is the story of Los Angeles’ one-time favorite sons BLACK BAMBI. Says the band’s frontman, Steven Ray Anastos, “Basically, we were orphaned. John Carter, our A&R guy, good friend & mentor, parted ways with Atlantic Records right as we were completing the album. The timing could not have been worse. We were left high & dry, and there was no coming back from that.”

    Nearly thirty years after the band’s only album was shelved it sees the light of day through 20th Century Music.

     

    Let’s go back to the beginning, though, shall we? The band initially came together when San Diego transplant Steven Ray Anastos left his band City Slick only to discover than another band from his hometown, Aircraft, had also called it a day. Having admired that band’s material, Anastos decided to call guitarist Ronny Jones to see if they might put something together to test the waters and soon after Steven and the bulk of Aircraft were in business as BLACK BAMBI. “We took off right out of the gate writing new songs and rehearsing nearly every single night. It was a fascinating time, and we were very optimistic that we had a sound that was unlike anyone else in Los Angeles at that time” recalls Anastos.

     

    Playing their first show at The Whiskey A Go-Go on New Year’s Eve 1987, the band ran through a handful of shows before the rhythm section was ousted in favor of bassist John Grimmett and drummer Dave Casey. “When Ronny & I started looking for a new rhythm section we went back to the guys we had played with in previous bands. Dave was in my group City Slick and Ronny’s band Aircraft, and John and I had played together briefly in Mickey Knight. It came together pretty damn quick, and we never looked back.”

     

    At this point, the band’s sound became darker and more focused, and a buzz was swiftly building throughout the major labels. 1989 would see the band sign with the legendary John Carter at Atlantic Records, and they were immediately sent into Enterprise Studios with highly sought after producer Beau Hill behind the board for an album that was scheduled for an early 1990 release.

     

    Steven says, “We had the time of our lives during that recording process. It was a dream come true to be recording with a successful producer such as Beau Hill and in such a legendary studio. Lots of platinum albums came out of that room, and we had very high hopes that we would be the next in line. It was also the high point of the band’s relationship as friends.”

     

    Regarding the band’s songwriting process, Steven says: Our songs always started with Ronny writing a cool guitar riff, which seemed to come very quickly to him back then, and I would write the melody and lyrics. I was reading lots of Vampire books at the time and was very much into poetry, Jim Morrison, etc., so lots of the lyrics are a little bit twisted and moody. Again, things always came together effortlessly, and John & Dave certainly added a solid backbone to our sound.

     

    Opening slots with both Badlands and The Black Crowes followed, and BLACK BAMBI was primed for major success. And then the bottom fell out. John Carter left Atlantic Records soon after and suddenly the band had none at the label in their corner. Leaving the label shortly after, they began showcasing for other major labels with everyone having a different vision for the band than they had for themselves. Steven recalls: “We were broken hearted, man. Our dreams were slipping through our fingers, and there was absolutely nothing we could do about it. Naturally, the band began to splinter, and within a few months, we were done. Since that time, nearly 30 years actually, we have received countless emails & inquiries from all over the world asking if the LP is available and where it can be purchased. We truly appreciate your interest and your excitement about our lost album, and now we can say yes, it is available either on Limited Edition CD or digitally on iTunes. So, come and get it …Available August 18, 2017.

     

    Good things come to those that wait, indeed.
