Feelin' heavy...?

Any of my Rawkers feeling heavy out there? As in, feeling the need for a dark adreneline rush of molten metal that feeds your screaming inner demons?

Thought so. Me too.

No one better to feed its gnawing ache then my two favorite heavy bands, Black Sabbath and Metallica. (With Motorhead frantically galloping in at a close third).

(For the record, i'm not going to entertain hair-splittings over various sub-genres of metal -- black, death, thrash, speed, etc. For this purpose: if it's heavy, it's metal.)

And for my money, there really ISN'T original heavy music after Sabbath, and until Metallica.

Just gave a listen to the self-named first cut on the Sabbath self-titled 1970 album, Black Sabbath. If the sinister rain and the tolling bell doesn't give you goosebumps, go find an REO Speedwagon cassette tape. And go away.

And there's been damn precious little cool stuff since Metallica burst on the scene, exploding like a hellfire missile and leaving deliriously devoted fans in its wake. Personal preferences are the albums Kill 'Em All and Master of Puppets (would you expect the GOT to pick any others?).

Wanna hear from you Rawkers. Who thrashes the heaviest? Who best guards the entrance to hell with flaming guitars, and bone-breaking drums? I wanna know.... Rawk On!!!
