For today’s Sunday Metal, a departure from the music and concerts and instead a look into where the “growling” vocals signature to some genres of metal came from.

While it’s truly hard to pinpoint where it all came from, Polyphonic’s examination of this was pretty cool. Even if you don’t dig this style of vocals, it’s worth the time to explore this bit of music history and evolution.

Because we miss Lemmy.

He may be gone, but it’s still so bad, baby.

The mighty Bolt Thrower “Cenotaph”

Igorrr with “Opus Brain”

I’ve known about All That Remains for years, but never got into them. But recently read some articles and listened to some podcasts with singer Phil Labonte. I dig the guy and gave their music another chance. It’s growing on me.

“What If I Was Nothing”

I have no idea what this is completely about, but it’s an old/early gig for Hatebreed from 1995. And about 2/3 of the way through it all devolves into a big fight.

New stuff from Judas Priest – “Lightning Strike”

Body Count with “All Love Is Lost”

This is a pretty cool headlining full set from Havok @ the Gothic Theater, March 9, 2018.

Off the new Orange Goblin, “Sons of Salem”.

Not the best recording, but it was one of the first live performances. Pretty cool for that reason.
