Last May, I was watching a YouTube video with a bunch of NWOBHM songs when all of a sudden, I heard this one that was probably the heaviest, nastiest NWOBHM song I'd ever listened to: "This Machine Kills", by a band called Warfare. I looked up information on them, and from what I gleaned, they...

So, as we know, there are a bunch of songs that - while not necessarily metal - could be considered metal, so I'm curious: what classic rock bands not normally known for doing metal do you think did "metal" songs? For me, one example that comes to mind is Foghat, with their 1974 rendition of...

One of my favorite old-school metal songs is "Unstoppable Force" by Agent Steel, and for the longest time, I thought they were thrash metal because I discovered them via a YouTube video about thrash metal. However, now I'm seeing quite a few sources that label them as speed metal, so now I'm...

For years, I've been a metalhead, but it wasn't until last year when the pandemic started that I began to really buy metal albums in any significant quantity. I estimate that since then, I've bought 38 metal albums, and that's not counting the albums I bought to make a box set for my mom for...

Ever since I heard their song "Doctor Doctor" on Dee Snider's House of Hair a couple of months ago, I've been getting into UFO. They're one of those bands where I listen to enough of their songs and am like "HOW did I not discover these guys before?" I'm curious, though, would anyone here...

OK, so Black Sabbath is widely considered to be the first metal band. However, I've noticed that a lot of their classic hits are slower in tempo than later metal songs. Sure, songs such as "Iron Man" and "Sweet Leaf" have faster sections, and they did do fast songs such as "Paranoid", "Children...

OK, forgive me if I do this wrong. Believe me, I read that post here that I should read before posting. That aside, for those who don't know me, my primary interests in metal are classic metal (including stuff that wouldn't necessarily have a subgenre), NWOBHM and thrash. Among my favorite...

Hey there everybody, I've been into metal since...well...I can't remember when, but I know I got started on Black Sabbath/Ozzy and Metallica, but I've broadened my horizons quite a bit since then and have discovered many more metal bands. I recently picked up a bass guitar and want to form my...
