Well?
Attractive-ness is not at question here!
Is this example “just shouting”
Have we converted anyone?
Saviours have had one hell of a ride over the past year. they released Accelerated Living towards the end of 2009 and then followed it up as follows: they toured the U.S. with St. Vitus, toured Japan, toured Europe, played the Scion Rock Fest in Columbus, OH, played a shit-ton of other headline and support [...]

The 50 Most Influential Heavy Metal Songs of the ‘80s
Full Metal Jackie Certified
One of the most formidable female forces on the metal scene, Jackie Kajzer, aka full Metal Jackie, and brother in arms Roger Lotring, bring to the table a thoughtfully selected array of poignant, classic metal songs that stand alone as powerful testaments to the times in which they were created. These songs deliver the messages that birthed the messengers: artists like Judas Priest and Black Sabbath and Twisted Sister and Dio and many others ~ bands who became mirrors reflecting the outcries and outrage of their time and place, bands who created the 50 most influential heavy metal songs of the ‘80s.
The purpose of this book is to go behind the scenes, away from all the glitz, glam, and fanfare, and really delve into the inspiration and creative processes that made these songs into musical statements that have stood the test of time and countless cultural fads. Kazjar and Lotring’s documentation is succinct, crisp and pointedly authentic and insightful, hitting the metal nail right on the head.
What’s just as appealing as the writing style is the commentary; it’s amazing, as a fan, to think that the meaning behind that one great song that made your life complete for a window of time (or perhaps, a lifetime) may actually be completely lost on the composer. or, that the lyrics didn’t really mean that much at all to the band, and as a matter of fact, none of them really actually remember the true words. then again, maybe that song that affected you on such a profound level really meant much, much more than you could have ever fathomed. all of these explanations and more lie within the recollections (or lack there of) of some of metal’s most iconic artists.
Take, for instance, Judas Priest’s “Breaking the Law,” a musical statement that bears just as much truth today as it did 30 years ago. “I think it’s a very potent piece of music, as well as a strong lyrical message. It’s a song that carries a message to generation after generation,” says Priest vocalist Rob Halford. “I would never have thought that the lyric would be just as relevant as it was in 1980, but there you go.”
Or how about Ozzy Osbourne’s “Suicide Solution” bringing the topic of personal interpretation into the limelight under the most severe circumstances ~ a fan’s suicide. But what many interpreted as pro-suicide messages were actually British colloquialisms for female anatomy, misconstrued by the American ear.
Then there’s the infamous “Holy Diver,” a fantastical epic focused on humanity’s self-indulgence and selfishness, a tale that was spun after Ronnie James Dio saw the title phrase during a walk home from a local grocery store. And of course, there’s the author of the foreword to this book and leader of the mighty Megadeth, Dave Mustaine, regarding “Peace Sells:” “It was about Joe Everyman. it just showed that you no matter who you are, if you believe in yourself, you can do it.”
Metal fans will delight in the honesty, the memory lapses, and the deep, unfettered beliefs and emotions that were unabashedly poured into the 50 most influential heavy metal songs of the ‘80s.

Wedding rings are important part of every wedding event. the groom and the bride were pronounced as husband and wife after the event of sliding both tri colored wedding bands onto each other’s fingers. Sometimes, choosing a wedding ring for men can be very crucial. Simply because men are not usually fond of wearing jewelries unlike with women. for a simple man, they are contented of wearing the only jewelry they will ever wear for the rest of their life and that is their own wedding ring. It is so common to see a man wearing a simple wedding band. Either made of the traditional metal bands for wedding rings which are yellow and white gold, platinum and titanium.

Originally formed by vocalist Lee Dorrian following his exit from the legendary Napalm Death, Cathedral has been one of the leading bands in the doom movement since Forest of Equilibrium came out in 1991. This particular release is noteworthy for not only being the band’s first double album, but for also being the band’s first studio effort since The Garden of Unearthly Delights came out in 2005.
One Dimensional People
Cathedral has always had fairly complex songwriting, but this may be their most progressive and experimental album to date. Influences from 1970s bands such as Genesis and King Crimson can be strongly felt as the song structures are as complex as ever and unorthodox instruments such as the mellotron and female vocals are used more often than in the past.
Fortunately, many of the band’s signature elements have been retained and manage to go along with the changes and innovations quite nicely. Almost all of the songs on here are packed with upbeat tempos, pounding guitar riffs, a few slower moments, movie samples and spoken segments that give them atmosphere. It all results in what may be one of the band’s lightest efforts though not one of their most accessible.
One thing that may really be a surprise to some listeners is Dorrian’s vocal performance. Having started with a harsh growl that then turned into a raspy bark for some of the band’s classics such as Hopkins (Witchfinder General), this album features a more melodic performance that frequently reminds one of Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson. Fortunately, the rest of the band also puts on some great performances with no member falling behind the others.
Painting In The Dark
The songwriting is pretty well-rounded and mostly devoid of filler. Even the two minute interludes manage to earn their keep with Immaculate Misconception opening the first disc on a particularly nightmarish note and the title track bringing in some soft contrasts before conjuring the particularly heavy Edwige’s Eyes.
Of course, there aren’t too many songs on here that may qualify for a classic status. Funeral of Dreams is the most interesting track due to its quiet but bouncy chorus and strangely effective transitions. also worth noting are the rocking Painting In The Dark and The Casket Chasers, the psychedelic Ghost Ship of The Blind Dead, and the dirge-like touches of The Running Man and Requiem For The Voiceless.
The lyrics also seem to have gone through some changes with society, organized religion, and escapism standing out as the most common themes. Fortunately there are some remnants of the band’s old horror film fixation in the forms of Ghost Ship of The Blind Dead and Edwige’s Eyes, the latter of which seems to be a tribute to Italian actress Edwige Fenech.
Requiem For The Voiceless and Journey To Jade are two songs that stand out for having particularly interesting lyrics. The former is about the mistreatment of animals while the latter provides a look at the band’s history while pondering how its music and our culture at large will be seen by future generations. They may be a little too direct for some listeners but they don’t detract from the music very often.
Funeral of Dreams
In a way similar to Helloween’s Keeper of The seven Keys: The Legacy, this is a release that might not have needed to be a double album. The ideal CD length is around 40-50 minutes but it still seems like overkill to have 85 minutes of music stretched over two discs. especially since cutting a lesser track such as Journey To Jade or editing a few song lengths would’ve led to all the material fitting onto one disc…
But in terms of the music itself, this is a very well-done album that manages to prove Cathedral’s relevancy after such a long gap between releases. Definitely worth recommending to fans of prog rock, doom metal, and the usual group of Cathedral die-hards.
Funeral of Dreams, Painting In The Dark, Edwige’s Eyes, Ghost Ship of The Blind Dead, and Requiem For The Voiceless

A Church of England cleric suggests that Satan worship through Heavy Metal is good for the soul . to be fair to the Rev. Rachel Mann priest in charge of St.Nicholas’ Burnage she says that Slayer lyrics – I’ll take take the devil any day, Hail Satan – and the general Satan worship by some Metal bands is posturing and play acting .
Rev. Mann is a fan and muscian of Heavy Metal and thinks that Metal fans are more relaxed and fun than the more serious Christian congregations she normally deals with :
Yet as both priest and metal musician and fan it strikes me that the church, especially at this agonised time, has a serious gospel lesson to learn from this darkest and heaviest music .
Metal’s refusal to repress the bleak and violent truths of human nature liberates its fans to be more relaxed and fun people .
I can’t wait for the day when Pope Benedict gives the world a rendition of Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath .
Give me your top 3 for best albums.
