SLEEPING (IN THE FIRE)

Song: Sleeping (In The Fire)

Artist: W.A.S.P

This month's post is about a band born in the 80s among other American glam-metal groups. However, they somehow knew the path towards fame had to be counter to mainstream. It had to be anti-glam, a sort of electric circus of horror and perversion.

Blackie Lawless' abrasive voice and distinctive touch make them unmistakable and a safe bet no matter which song you randomly pick.

They hit the jackpot with their first album, which was a declaration of intentions. They wanted to be somebody, and thus they became an unstoppable rocket.

The song I bring is an intense and burning ballad that triggers a kind of sinful passion. A song always difficult to take out of one's head.

Let yourself go into ecstasies over W.A.S.P.'s fire and lust for pleasure.

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...

WINTER SKIES

Song: Winter Skies Artist: STRATOVARIUS  This month the band I want to talk about is one of the major names in European heavy metal . Forty years treading the boards is enough time to assert that this Finnish combo has reached a place among the gods of  Power Metal with a career full of progressive and melodic masterpieces .  Their creativity is in constant evolution and full of classical nuances that draw labyrinthine compositions and transport us to musical heavens.  Here I bring you a ballad in the shape of northern sky . A starred vault teemming with millions of beatiful musical notes.  Just click below to set off on the journey. https://open.spotify.com/track/5y75A9c3hNFGuYn01nMCBw?si=XqePc4S2SDif1BL7yXBv5g
