The Future Of Heavy Metal... One That Maybe Starting To Brighten Up

Hybrid Circle, a great example of modern metal that rocks... They are just one example this can give us metal heads hope!

 You know I will be honest and say that when dumb bass boy bands, Britney Spears and their ilk kind of became what is popular in music back in the late 90s, I got pretty depressed with the turn that music was taking...

What I mean by this is that I was not a fan of the reduction of such an awesome sound like what heavy metal had been offering for decades in to this lame boy band style non-sense that has been dominant in our culture now for so long... (And is still popular with such morons as, 'Justin Bieber' being a major player on the scene... I don't know if you can tell, but that type of music... To say the least, I am not a fan of!)

With all of that in mind I have recently come to a very important discovery... That the future of heavy metal may actually still be intact!

Battle Beast... A recent discovery for me, but still... An amazing band that just released a new album!

What I mean by this is the fact that there are still a lot of the old guard that are still kicking as much ass in there music today, as they did back when they first got started! Such bands as, 'Metallica', or even, 'Megathdeth'... And that is just to name a few!

And if that wasn't a major plus point in favor of the continuing success of heavy metal music... Well then try this, now before I go on, let me say this, I am well aware of the fact that the bands I am just about to mention aren't at this point, 'new', but I do have a point, so bare with me...

Anyway, with that said, I thought that I should give bands like, 'Linkin Park'... Now it is true that they are no longer the newest kids on the playground, but they are an examples of an amazing mega superpower band, that is more recent then those that I just mentioned, and as a matter of fact, I would venture to say that there are more coming out every year!

Linkin Park... Newerish... And still kicking ass!

And speaking of these newer indie bands, I recently was contacted by a band, 'Hybrid Circle'... Now these guys truly rock, they have a sound that is there own, but you can definitely tell also had it's inspiration with the heavy metal music of yesterday that made heavy metal the amazing music that it is to this day and has remained insanely popular!

For more information on what I am talking about, enjoy!

Aging Heavy Metal And Rock Bands... Still Have Value

A few months ago I was working on a piece for the site and came across a relatively recent photo of Metallica... And I have to say that I was surprised by what I saw! What I mean by this, is that they looked older! Not senior citizen old... But like middle aged men!

There isn't anything wrong with this, I mean their first album came out roughly about a year after I was born, but I got to thinking of all of the other great musicians that have been kicking ass and taking names for literally decades and I realized something... Where are they?

What I mean by this, is I have noticed that a lot of the bands that have been hitting the popularity circuit are newer bands... And so I had to ask... Where are they?

Now before I go on, I will say that it is true, that like everything, eventually there is a changing of the guard, when the old guard has to turn it over to the next generation... So I say to you guys... It is not that time and these aging bands are still good... As a matter of fact, with what is passing for, 'popular music' in this day and age... We need the monsters of metal and rock to come back and kick ass one more time!

Now I am sure that people like, 'Justin Bieber' and his nutso ilk are liked by a lot... But the music industry is now dominated by these people who have weekly breakdowns and scandals... We need the monsters of metal like, 'Metallica', 'Ozzy Osbourne', 'Marilyn Manson' to come out of obscurity and take down these obnoxious twits that have taken over and bring back some dignity to the world of music once more!

So again I say... Aging Heavy Metal & Rock Bands... Still Have Value!
