The Principle of Evil Made Flesh by Cradle Of Filth is a dark, twisted, and incredibly Black Metal Album. From the opening track,to the closing track, this album is a non-stop assault on the senses. The musicianship is top-notch, Dani Vocals are absolutely demonic.

Wednesday, March 6: Saxon, "State of Grace" [ENCORE]

The Today’s Metal Tune tumblr posted its first song March 5, 2014. Amazingly, 10 YEARS LATER we are still here and going strong. A huge THANK YOU to everyone that has followed, liked, reblogged and commented over the past 10 years, this tumblr has been a passion project that took on a life of its own and far exceeded humble expectations, and that is all because so many have listened and gotten in on the fun. To celebrate the past decade, we are revisiting some favorites from the early years. Stay Metal everyone, there’s much more still to come…

The Inner Sanctum marked the return of longtime drummer Nigel Glockler after a 10-year absence, which was noteworthy since Glockler’s playing frequently elevated even Saxon’s sketchiest material. But more than that- or maybe because of that- the album contained a hunger and forcefulness that reasserted Saxon’s vitality, and featured one of the best winner-to-filler ratios in the band’s entire discography. And nowhere was this show of strength more apparent than in the opening “State of Grace”, which was Saxon at its ass-kicking best. Not coincidentally, it was Glockler’s thunderous double-kick drumming that powered the show, propelling the song with more intensity than most younger metal bands could pull off. And even though the chanting monks at the beginning and middle were clichéd (and 15 years too late), “State of Grace” was one of the best opening tracks Saxon ever recorded. The riffing was tasteful, forceful and atmospheric in the right places, and Biff Byford delivered his admittedly silly lyrics with perfect conviction. If anyone needed convincing that Saxon could still be a relevant force in metal, one listen to “State of Grace” eliminated any doubt.

And it still makes my blood run thin,

To remember what you are to him,

And I'll live like I've got missing limbs, for you.

A Pitchshifter interview with PETA2 somewhere I think pre or post none for all and all for one single

I found this off the psirecords old site under media and then interview

PETA2: Can you tell new PETA2 fans a little about how it all started and what makes you tick?

J.S.: Basically, we weren’t hearing the music out there that we wanted to hear. Thirteen years later, we’ve recorded nine albums, toured 25 countries, and started our own record label. Not bad for a bunch of punks on a crummy housing estate in the Midlands. What makes me tick? A passion for life!

Mark: We have all been possessed by music for a long, long time. Tours have included the Vans Warped Tour and Ozzfest USA. Our aim has always been to get people to think and question everything.

PETA2: What issue involving animals is closest to your heart?

J.S.: My brother and I have always tried to involve our beliefs in Pitchshifter and often donate tracks for anti-fox-hunting compilations. I think education is the key for progress on the ethical treatment of animals. If people don’t know the full story, they won’t make an informed decision. As with everything, education is the key.

Mark: I despise animal cruelty in any form. Factory farming and seal culling make my blood boil.

PETA2: What was the event in your life that made you decide to stop eating meat?

J.S.: As I remember, it was The Smiths, Crass, and a bunch of punk bands—from the music, I got into the lyrics and then into the ideas. So music really sparked my interest in animal issues.

Mark: I bought the Meat Is Murder album by The Smiths. The track “Meat Is Murder” begins with herds of animals screaming before they are slaughtered. After that, there was no turning back.

PETA2: How did your friends and family react when you went veg?

J.S.: I think I was 15, and Mark was 17 when we first dropped the bombshell on our family and friends that we weren’t going to be eating meat anymore. I remember them all looking at us like we were insane, but we slowly won them over, and they came to accept it. The irony now is that a lot of my friends and family have gone veggie or eat way less meat for health reasons. So you could say it got them in the end.

Mark: At first, people just think it’s something you do to be cool, just a phase you go through. But that was 17 years ago, so I think people have got the message now.

PETA2: Does being veggie tie in with your other ethics and your outlook?

J.S.: Well, I just believe in trying to do the right thing. Human beings are the most complex, astounding, creative, energetic, persevering life form on the planet. We are so beautiful, and yet many of us choose to be so ugly to our species and so many others. It blows my mind. I just try and treat everyone and everything the way I would like to be treated.

Mark: Totally, being vegetarian goes hand in hand with wider environmental issues. If the world farmers farmed soya instead of cattle, then I believe the world could be fed. The world’s resources are being destroyed and people, governments, and countries need to make massive changes.

PETA2: How is being vegetarian different today than it was when you first made the choice?

J.S.: Well, these days, the food is great. These days, you don’t have to “miss out” to go veggie, you just have to realign your purchasing and you’re there. I am loving veggie hot dogs this month. Can’t get enough of them!

Mark: Going to restaurants is really good now, [before] as a non meat-eater, there would only ever be one or two choices. Now vegetarians are being taken seriously.

PETA2: You have been granted the power to change the world. You sit and consider the first thing that you would do. What is it?

J.S.: Well, if we’re going to go into the realm of fantasy, I will take it one step further: If I was given the power to change EVERYTHING and do anything, I would give everyone the knowledge of what it’s like to be everyone else, of every species. Kind of like a ‘day in the shoes’ of everyone and everything. I think if we had that kind of an insight into life, there would be a lot less cruelty going on.

Mark: I would eliminate world hunger and ban hunting.

PETA2: If people are reading this site and trying to decide whether to go veggie or vegan, what would you say to convince them?

J.S.: If nothing else (i.e., you don’t care about it ethically), think of your health. The surgeon general agrees that a diet rich in fruit and vegetables extends lifespan and facilitates a better standard of living. That ALONE should be enough reason. What do you need … a money back coupon and a free set of soup bowls!?

Mark: We are an intelligent species who have evolved to the point where we do not need to eat meat. DO something about it. Watch some films on animal factory farming, and you will be disgusted with the whole industry. Go veggie!

Blaze Bayley has quite a powerful positive song here! Inspiring!

He was vocalist for the British metal band Wolfsbane (1989 to 1994; 2012) (I remember listening to their song: Easy). Also ex=vocalist of Iron Maiden (1995 - 1998)

It should be interesting explore his 'Infinite Entanglement' trilogy albums:

Infinite Entanglement (2016)

Endure and Survive (2017)

The Redemption of William Black (2018)

Interesting reading: https://maximumvolumemusic.com/review-blaze-bayley-war-within-me-2021/

"A regular theme for Bayley (who is honest about his struggles) has been to take control of your own destiny."

Some of his song titles that seem very inspiring and promising:

Pull Yourself Up

Every Storm Ends

"On 25 March 2023, Bayley suffered a heart attack" (Wikipedia)

Friday, July 14: Motörhead, "Tear Ya Down"

R.I.P. Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister (1945-2015), "Fast Eddie" Clarke (1950-2018), Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor (1954-2015)

By Motörhead standards, Overkill wasn’t nearly as heavy as most of the brawling barnburners they would put out over the next 35 or so years. But it was more than a little shocking in 1979, and “Tear Ya Down” helped introduce the band’s overall concept with a distinctly Lemmy blend of aggression, speed and swagger. Jimmy Miller’s mix put the vocals in the back a bit, but one could easily make out the classic Lemmy charm, and in a lot of ways the tune was closer to his vision and mission statement as it played like a grooving classic rock and roll number even with the stungun bass, unhinged drumming from Philthy Phil and Fast Eddie Clarke’s all-attitude soloing. The basic influences were apparent, but Motörhead was an entity unto itself, and “Tear Ya Down” was a prime early instance of their singularity.
