The Murderess Metal Road Show by Lizzy Borden (CD - 08/22/1995)
"The Murderess Metal Road Show" (08/22/1995) Rock & Pop Lizzy Borden, Metal BladeRecording information: Chuck Landis' Country Club, Reseda, CA (12/13/1985). Many bands joke that their second album will be a live album that reprises their debut, to show how much better the songs sound after several months honing them on the road. Well, Lizzy Borden went and did it. 1986's The Murderess Metal Road Show is nothing more nor less than the entirety of 1985's Love You to Pieces with a different song order and a few extra tracks from the band's first EP. The problem is that the songs actually don't sound better live: the playing is sloppy and the songs tend to ramble on listlessly ("American Metal" goes on for six full minutes, then returns for an interminable encore in "Finale") without the tightness and punky precision that was the main attraction of Love You to Pieces. Even worse, the sound is simply awful, hollow, and echoey like it was recorded from the back of an empty arena during sound check. And if you can't see a band as theatrically glammy as Lizzy Borden, a lot of the appeal is lost. The Murderess Metal Road Show is a disappointment even for fans. ~ Stewart Mason

Metal Machine Music by Lou Reed & The Rubi Theater Company/Zeitkratzer/Lou Reed (CD - 10/10/2000)
"Metal Machine Music" (10/10/2000) Rock & Pop Lou Reed & The Rubi Theater Com, Buddha RecordsPersonnel: Lou Reed (vocals, guitar, keyboards). Liner Note Author: David Fricke. 1975's METAL MACHINE MUSIC is, without question, the one album in Lou Reed's oeuvre that inspires the most hyperbole in critic's pens, and one of the harshest records ever released by a major record company. Originally a double LP, it consists of four tracks, each hovering around the 16-minute mark, of guitar feedback looped over and over, and then layered innumerable times. There are no vocals, no beats, and no songs. And yet, despite all this, the album is by no means random noise designed solely to irritate listeners, as many detractors have claimed. There's a definite overall structure to the electronic effects. As the direct forerunner to punk, industrial, ambient, electronic, and even new age music, METAL MACHINE MUSIC is an essential document and one of the most influential albums in non-mainstream music. In its own right, it is a fascinating sonic experiment--though it's almost guaranteed that your pets will hate every second of it.

Heavy Metal Maniac by Exciter (CD - 03/15/2005)
"Heavy Metal Maniac" (03/15/2005) Rock & Pop Exciter, MegaforceExciter: Dan Beehler (vocals, drums); John Ricci (guitar); Allan Johnson (bass instrument). Released in 1983, the debut album from thrash metal pioneers Exciter puts them in league with then-emerging contemporaries Metallica and Slayer. While Exciter may not be on a par with those giants, HEAVY METAL MANIAC packs plenty of punch, mercilessly ripping through a brutal set of songs. Exciter's love of Judas Priest and Motorhead is clear, but the raw energy of the album, deepened by speed, ferocious distortion, and roughshod production values, is original and striking. HEAVY METAL MANIAC is an overlooked jewel in the speed metal catalogue.

Love Metal [2/1] *
"Love Metal [Universal]" (02/01/2005) Rock & Pop H.I.M. (Goth Rock), Universal DistributionH.I.M. (Goth Rock): Valo (vocals); Linde (guitar); Burton (keyboards); Midge (bass guitar); Gas (drums). Audio Mixer: Tim Palmer. Recording information: Finnvox Studios, Helsinki, Finland. Ville Valo and his gloomy crew return to their metallic roots with LOVE METAL, the band's heaviest offering since their full-length debut. Launching full force into the propulsive "Buried Alive By Love," HIM explores dirgy, Sabbath-style rock ("Sweet Pandemonium"), emotive balladry ("This Fortress of Tears"), and high-speed angst ("Soul on Fire"). But amidst the turbo-charged reinvigoration, the group retains a flair for disarmingly beautiful sounds, with flowing piano work on "The Sacrament" and a mandolin accompaniment for "The Funeral of Hearts." The closing number, "The Path," unexpectedly summons a slow-paced, '50s rock-ballad feel, and the approach imbues the tune with a unique vibe. By this 2005 album, the Finnish band's formula could have been stagnant, but through passionate performances and a desire to push its own boundaries, HIM keeps making beguiling, goth-flavored heavy rock for the masses. A lot of people have the propensity to give H.I.M. unnecessary doses of grief simply because of the band's friendship and professional allegiance to pro skater Bam Margera. What's unfortunate about this is that H.I.M. actually produces dramatic metal of high sonic quality, and once again Love Metal further reinforces that notion. Going one better than Razorblade Romance, Ville Valo and company waste no time bringing out the big guns with "Buried Alive By Love," which easily measures up to the group's most well-known moments. The songwriting is as strong as it has been in quite some time and a newly found sense of urgency keeps the record going at a well-tempered pace. For die-hard fans, this is the album H.I.M. has been struggling to make and realize for quite a while, and even the aforementioned detractors of the group would be well served by giving this record a spin. [The 2005 Universal edition returned to the CD's original, ten-track format.] ~ Rob Theakston

Metal Works '73-'93 by Judas Priest (CD - 05/11/1993)
"Metal Works '73-'93" (05/11/1993) Rock & Pop Judas Priest, Columbia (USA)Judas Priest: Rob Halford (vocals); Glenn Tipton, K.K. Downing (guitar); Ian Hill (bass). Additional personnel: Simon Phillips, Les Binks, Dave Holland, Scott Travis (drums). Producers include: Judas Priest, Roger Glover, James Guthrie, Dennis Mackay, Tom Allom. Includes liner notes by Neil Jeffries & Judas Priest. Features in-depth interviews with Judas Priest, Skid Row, Def Leppard, Ozzy Osbourne and Slayer. Also contains rarely seen material including the band's first ever appearance on TV in 1974, coverage of their infamous Reno, Nevada court case and clips from the band's personal archive. Personnel: Rob Halford (vocals); Glenn Tipton, K.K. Downing (guitar); Dave Holland , Les Binks, Simon Phillips, Scott Travis (drums). Audio Remasterers: Judas Priest; Tom (Colonel) Allom. Liner Note Author: Neil Jeffries. Photographers: Ray Palmer; Joe Giron; Anna Maria DiSantos; Tony Mottram; Geoffrey Hargrave Thomas; Glen LaFerman. Let's make this simple--if you want to hear some of the toughest heavy metal ever recorded, this double-disc 1993 Judas Priest career overview does it. The Priest will forever hold its place as the decisive metal outfit of the era, as shown by any selection here. METAL WORKS '73-'93 is an exceptionally well-balanced compilation. For every "You've Got Another Thing Comin'," "Living After Midnight," and "Breaking the Law," it includes such often-overlooked gems as "Dissident Aggressor," "Beyond the Realms of Death," and "Sinner." The band's look--metal-studded wrist bands, head bands, and motorcycle jackets--may inspire listeners to don similar gear while listening to such thrashers as "Painkiller," "Electric Eye," "Metal Gods," "Freewheel Burning," and "Headin' Out to the Highway."

Peace Love Death Metal by Eagles of Death Metal (CD - 09/01/2006)
"Peace Love Death Metal" (09/01/2006) Rock & Pop Eagles of Death Metal, Ant Acid AudioEagles Of Death Metal: J Devil Huge (vocals, guitar, percussion); Alain Johannes (piano, background vocals); Baby Duck (bass, drums, percussion). Personnel: J Devil Huge (vocals, guitar, drums); Alain Johannes (vocals, piano); Baby Duck (drums, percussion). Audio Mixer: Alain Johannes. Recording information: 11AD Studios, Hollywood, CA. Illustrator: Keith Patrick. Sounding like neither the Eagles nor any variety of death metal, the Eagles of Death Metal lay down a fierce set of boogie-rock on this lively 2004 debut. Fronted by singer/guitarist Jesse Hughes (and his mighty moustache), the band also allows Queens of the Stone Age mastermind Josh Homme (credited as Baby Duck) to cut loose on the drum kit and imbue the group with some of his day job's pure "rawk" energy." Happily, the real star of PEACE LOVE DEATH METAL remains Hughes (aka J. Devil Huge), who wields his falsetto with swagger on infectious tunes such as the rollicking "I Only Want You" and the shuffling "Speaking in Tongues," exhibiting true rock-&-roll charisma. Other highlights of the record include the spare, bluesy "Midnight Creeper" and "Stuck in the Metal," a loose, amped-up reworking of Stealers Wheel's "Stuck in the Middle with You," tracks that reveal that although these Eagles are just some guys trying to have fun, they're still a force to be reckoned with.

Metal Massacre, Vol. 1 by Various Artists (CD - 05/03/1994)
"Metal Massacre, Vol. 1" (05/03/1994) Rock & Pop Various Artists, Metal BladeEngineers include: Mike Moore, Joe Borja, Bob Stoutenburg. This collection of early-'80s metal bands has stayed in print for one reason only, Metallica. This is the first recorded appearance of the infamous foursome, and their immense mainstream success has managed to keep this from disappearing into obscurity. The bands that they share this compilation with are typical of metal bands of the time. Influenced by the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (which included bands like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Saxon) but played with the fury of punk rock, this is where thrash metal really started. One of the unfortunate traits that these bands learned from their English counterparts is the shrill, high-pitched singing style that was popular in metal at the time. Malice and Cirith Ungol come off as the most dated because of their banshee vocals (and pedestrian songwriting skills). Demon Flight manages to come off slightly better, if only because singer Rick Gerard has a charming Ozzy-meets-the Flaming Lips voice. Pandemonium and Bitch contribute some average headbanging anthems, but Black N Blue and Avatar come the closest to matching Metallica's excellent "Hit the Lights." Recorded when Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine was still playing lead guitar, "Hit the Lights" is the best song on the compilation, a raging anthem announcing thrash metal to the masses with thunderous fury. James Hetfield's famous growl had not quite developed (and Mustaine contributes some uncredited background whining), but despite the bizarre vocals it blows away the rest of the compilation. Metallica collectors will probably want this, but even fans of thrash metal may be curious to hear its beginnings despite some of the lulls on the rest of the album. ~ Bradley Torreano

Tenjira [EP] by Flowchart (Metal) (CD - 06/01/2005)
"Tenjira [EP]" (06/01/2005) Rock & Pop Flowchart (Metal), Darla DistributionSometime during the latter half of the 1990s, Flowchart managed to leave behind their Stereolab fixation and move on to simply sounding Japanese. Tenjira, which is made up of four absolutely gigantic tracks, is mainly composed of bleeping electronics and oscillating sound patterns, all sounding as pleasant as one can imagine; the obvious reference point would be the Japanese band Sugarplant's Happy/Trance Mellow. The difference is that while a group like Sugarplant use the atmospheric drones to underlie more composed and vocal-oriented songs, Flowchart are content to let them drone on endlessly; Tenjira's title track stretches to 11 minutes, with the beats entering somewhere around the five-minute mark. The atmospheres are undeniably wonderful, but the record as a whole is sure to prove challenging to all but the most devoted listeners of ambient music. ~ Nitsuh Abebe
