A new Vintersorg track has just been added over at the MySpace in its entirety! This may be the best thing that we’ve heard from Mr. V in my opinion since Visions or even Cosmic Genesis! The record comes out on the 25th in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Then on the 28th it hits the […]
So, I normally don’t sink to just being a cog in the promotional machine, but today I am just a cog in the promotional machine because Amorphis is releasing a new record in June called The Beginning of Times which will probably stop time and make me die of Angry Metal Pleasure! You may not […]
One of the most anticipated records of the year should be Shroud of Despondency’s self-released Dark Meditations in Monastic Seclusion. Fortunately, I’ve been able to get permission to share what is probably my favorite track on the CD, but of course, the favorites are different for everyone! In any case, there are two things you […]
So, the new Moonsorrow track has been put up on YouTube in (count them) TWO videos ’cause Moonsorrow writes songs that are TOO LONG FOR YOU(TUBE)! The release dates are: UK Feb 21 Finland Feb 23 Germany, Switzerland, Austria Feb 25 Rest of Europe Feb 28
It’s hard to make this kind of broad list, I just want to say that from the get-go. How do you do this? Do you choose your favorites, or do you choose the genre defining records? Because saying, for example, that some of the following records are really genre defining wouldn’t be true. On the […]
2010. Wow, man. 2010. We’re counting months now until we all die in 2012. So how do you think it’s going to happen? Do you think that terrorists will get a nuke and fuck up the world? Or do you think that a meteor will hit? Or should I wait until the end of 2011 to ask that question?
Well, it’s been a very interesting year for me, Steel Druhm since joining Angry Metal Guy Industries in April. Despite the no pay, brutal hours, an Angry Metal Boss based overseas and enough hate mail to choke a Belgian aardvark, it’s been tons of fun and I wouldn’t trade one minute of it for a million Amorphis CDs. This year, like every other year, saw it’s fair share of shining metal moments and plenty of steaming crap as well. All things considered though, it’s a great time to be a fan of metal and there’s so much out there to choose from, it can get overwhelming trying to stay current and hear all the worthwhile releases. As the year winds down and we get set for the start of 2011, I want to wish all our readers a happy holiday season and give a big metal salute to all of you (and an extra big salute to the Angry Metal Guy himself for giving me a forum for my metal rants). I hope we were able to turn folks on to some quality music and generally entertain with our opinionated and self-righteous musings, ramblings, tirades, manifestos and diatribes.
Hi there in Angry Metal Land. I’m on a short hiatus as you may have noticed, but will hopefully be coming back with updates this week! I apologize for my absence and I’m sure that you’re feeling sad inside, but let me tell you this: I’ll be back. And so will Steel Druhm.
So I created a playlist on Spotify (unfortunately all y’all that don’t have it are going to have to cope, I’ll figure out a way to do an iTunes version, but that means buying a bunch of tracks, that’s pretty lame). You can check it out here: Veckans Spellista v. 34. If you have a […]
It’s been a while since I’ve updated a “classic record”, hasn’t it? But I think I’ve hit another one that is a must have for anyone who likes good metal. I mean, any kind of good metal at all. When I was just an Angry Metal Teenager I first was introduced to a bunch of stuff that I just couldn’t get into because it was too much for me. But there was one band that really pumped out a kind of music that I latched onto that was both heavy and melodic, but also extreme and cool. That band was Norway’s Theatre of Tragedy and that record which really turned me onto the band and later the “beauty and the beast style” (often imitated, but never improved upon) was the record Velvet Darkness They Fear.
