Sunday Metal – Marilyn Manson

Another heavy rotation as of late is some Marilyn Manson. I admit, he’s growing on me.

“This is the New Shit”

Sunday Metal – Amon Amarth

2017-04-022017-02-26 / hsoi

Another heavy rotation for me continues to be Amon Amarth’s “Jomsviking”.

I have found that “Vengence is My Name” is a fantastic song for setting heavy lifting PR’s. 🤘

Sunday Metal – Metallica

Yes, I’m still spinning the new Metallica album. Here’s my favorite song off the album: “Atlas, Rise!” performed live in Hong Kong January 2017

Sunday Metal – Kreator

Another recent release that I’ve really been digging: Kreator’s “Gods of Violence”.

Here’s the opening track: “World War Now”

Sunday Metal – L.A. Guns

2017-03-122017-02-25 / hsoi

L.A. Guns is probably considered a 2nd or 3rd tier “hair metal” band, but that doesn’t really do them justice. Tracii Guns is a phenominal guitar player (and he’s the “Guns” in “Guns n’ Roses”), and Phil Lewis has a unique, signature voice. The songs they put out were of course “of the day”, but I always thought the songwriting was a cut above despite not reaching the top heights of commercial success.

In the years since there’s been a lot of drama and even 2 versions of the band running around. But it seems Tracii and Phil are back together touring as L.A. Guns because let’s face it — they are the sound of the band.

Here’s some excellent live footage recorded from a show in Houston on Feb. 23 of one of my favorite L.A. Guns songs, “Never Enough” (along with some guitar humor from Tracii)

Sunday Metal – Igorrr

All I really know about Igorrr is Oldest is really into him. I just read they got signed to Metal Blade Records – now something father and son can bond over. 🙂

This is “Hallelujah”
