DON'T TALK TO STRANGERS

Song: Don't Talk To Strangers

Artist: Dio

Ronnie James Dio passed away in 2010 leaving an everlasting trail in the world of Heavy Metal.

For many critics, the best voice of this music genre. Full of shades and nuances he could well stamp a wrecking power in a song while wrapping it in a velvet lining.

He sang for bands like Rainbow and Black Sabbath and went on to be the frontman of his homonymous project with whom he made genuine anthems that would crown him king of the mike.

On the stage he was a like a wizard giving life to the fantastic worlds inside his lyrics.

Here you have one of his best songs, whispers of poetry and inner voices echoing as if in a disturbing dream.

Be my tribute to him.

Here's a song for you… Don't Talk To Strangers by Dio

A PAST AND FUTURE SECRET / THE SCRIPT FOR MY REQUIEM

Song: A Past And Future Secret / The Script For My Requiem Artist: BLIND GUARDIAN Here we are to celebrate the new year with Blind Guardian, one of the most successful German bands in Heavy Metal. And we do it with two songs in a row from one of their best albums. On other occasions, I have set an intro and its following theme. This time, the first song is not an intro. It is a standalone entity but creates the perfect atmosphere for the subsequent one. Thus, as the first theme is a delicate and bucolic melody, the latter is a power metal track that rolls out all the band's strength. And they do it with complex musical structures and choruses, as is usual with Blind Guardian. The whole album is a masterpiece inspired by well-known fantasy books. Do you fancy entering medieval times full of magic and spells? Places where swords rule. Here you are to face the blind guardian. https://open.spotify.com/track/6bN0ge8bHLzXxKrfUfIKtx?si=ptm48V_nSUmn8DP7j41fyw https://open.spotify.com/track...

BATTLE TO THE LAST

Song: Battle To The Last Artist: DARKNESS This month I want to dust off the music of Darkness .  Some may say there are many bands with that name, but for me, there's only one Darkness. For those who are not familiar with the band, they became, in the late 80s, representative of what we could now call the purest old-school German Thrash style .  Their first two albums are cult items which I was lucky enough to have in my hands. Their records feature underground-drawn artwork that matches their vision of a world in chaos.  What I like most about this band is their raw sound. Listening to their albums is like being at a live concert. The sound of all the instruments is like a jab right in your veins.  I think I was really fortunate to enjoy their music at a time when their aesthetics  clicked with a world where chemicals, nuclear menace , and West-East tension were commonplace.  You'd better run for cover, since here I bring you a perfect discharge of Thras...

YOU CAN'T KILL ROCK AND ROLL

Song: You Can't Kill Rock and Roll Artist: OZZY OSBOURNE This month I want to pay my respects to a real artist who passed away last month. Ozzy Osbourne will always be part of the history of Heavy Metal as one of the major names in the genre. And I'm not going to speak about him beyond his records and musical performance. I am not interested in the celebrity. There are enough people adoring his life off stage, and this is a blog about music. So, no more tickets for the circus. I remember, as a teenager back in the early eighties, when I first listened to the album Sabbath Bloody Sabbath , knowing little about him and his band, Black Sabbath . They were one of the big names pushing Heavy Metal into a golden era, as an evolution of 70s Hard Rock . And this is the true thing. Ozzy Osbourne was a real icebreaker, breaking through the righteous. And he did it with a priceless legacy, his voice. Thus, Ozzy is one of the best singers in the history of Rock. His voice was unmistakabl...
