Damn that is depressing. Ratt is also one of my favorites, always liked Pearcys raw voice. Too bad to hear he's not doing so hot...but a lot of those 80s guys are clinging on by a thread. I hate to say it, but they just need to retire. Def Leppard, ACDC...it's hard to watch them as old men

Not really directly related, but indirectly related: Ratt (another glam metal band from the early to mid 80s). I was really bored one Sunday night back in probably 2002 I think, so I headed down to the Masquerade in Atlanta to see who was playing. Ex-lead singer of Ratt, Stephen Pearcy was playing with his solo band, doing pretty much nothing but old Ratt tunes I guess - Round and Round, Back for More, Wanted Man, etc. Uh... MAAAAAN! Was that ever a depressing sight. I felt kinda sorry for Stephen Pearcy. He used to sell out huge arenas and stadiums back in the day, and there he was in a mid-sized club that could probably hold 500 people or more with maybe a total of 10 to 15 people at the show. I had NEVER seen it that empty in there before. Even when shitty local bands would be playing on a weeknight, they had a little more of a crowd in there. But it was kinda nice being able to walk right up to the bar and get a drink without having to wait.

These guys are my favorite modern metal band:

But my brand of metal comes in '80s flavors, so let's have a little throwback:

Not sure if it's heavy, but it's good stuff man. I really like thee guys, they got a sound I kinda like, y'know? I can't really pinpoint it, but it's something... special.

I don't buy into the 'what someone else thinks' is or isn't metal, this post isn't buying stock in that either. If you posted it here, you liked that shit, and that shit was HEAVY!

Metal is always evolving, at one time your hardest metal was groups like Iron Maiden,Black Sabbath, etc, which eventually gave way to a fresh take on what Metal was to newer bands like Metallica,Slayer,Anthrax,Megadeth, the supposed big 4 of Metal.

Then Nu-Metal, which was just another evolution, brought us Papa Roach , Linkin Park, Korn, Limp Bizkit, etc

This is where I fell off the Metal music scene, I had a lot of absent time actively not giving a fuck about finding new artists or bands, when I wanted to hear metal I just youtube'd old shit and sometimes yay band X has new material.

FiveFinger DeathPunch is a recent find, to me they made the Heavy detector get all detecty.

2011 I had no clue they even existed, but they had this to offer

2015 they are making a music video about being unhappy they have to make a music video, and on top of that, one of the band members asks "Do we have to be in the video" , it's either a joke,or a skit,or IDK. No idea bout these fuckers.

Here begins my modern day shrine to Heavy Metal, feel free to share something, or feel free to worship something Heavier than yourself.


So today, this song jammed my internal mp3 storage device (brain HAH) in an extremely undetailed heavy metal memory stuck on a 10-15 sec loop of awesome annoyance... This vague ass,name less jam, eventually spit out a memory about the lyric "Until the End". Clearly I was paying attention at some point in time, Breaking Benjamin goes hard as fuck. Today sucked a fucking ****, and I can't but take note that when my day became a shit show of backfiring I immediately heard this shit. All day long, I've been consumed again.

This shits intense as fuck. If I had occupied the time of history that is depicted here, and this music video was the pitch material for taking funeral photos and other morbid ass shit they did, like entire families prepped for their big day after their last day. Where do I sign up,and can I keep the promotional video? Death is fascinating, this just touched every piece of morbid stigma I remember reading about. First time seeing this at first I was like WOW HEAD THATS EXPERIENCING SOMETHING FUCKING HEAVY,then I im given something like art but drowned in death, in a life like pose.

"I wouldn't be angry if you just fucking cried
Your tears would arouse me, refreshing my supply
The suffering is fading, I scream into the sky
Repulsion invades me, I say goodbye"

I think this is fucking hot as hell. Tears causing arousal is just some next level appetite imo.

There are people who breathe the very same air as you and I, who would happily waste my share of the fucking oxygen telling me how Linkin Park isn't Heavy Metal. I can invision Chester letting some air into a room, via his lungs and his primal deafening scream starting at 1:55 and moving forward from there, thats the theme music that probably played when the Heavy deniers was placed all in the same room with a hammer wielding Chester. This shits an auditory assault on the sense of those deniers who insist someones favorite band isn't truthfully belonging in a genre,because you know. reasons!

The term heavy metal refers to any metallic chemical element that has a relatively high density and is toxic or poisonous at low concentrations,or any type of music that usually encites riots. Examples of heavy metals include MetallicA,mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), chromium (Cr), thallium (Tl), and lead (Pb). -LennTech
