Metal Moment: Behemoth

Ned — Wed, 08 May 2013 18:00:44 +0000

Time for a long overdue METAL MOMENT! Been awhile since I have done one of these. This is a band I discovered not to long ago, and if you are a HARCORE metal head, than this a band that should not be missed. After hearing some of their tunes, this is music that you might have some trouble finding here in America. This Metal Moment is dedicated to: BEHEMOTH!

Metal Moment: Five Finger Death Punch

Ned — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 19:00:44 +0000

I have always been a fan of this band, especially the stage show and how 'kinda' close I have actually been to this band. I dig the sound, the band members, and the attitude that they bring to the metal world.When it comes to mainstream metal, they are top notch. Love them or not, these guys have what it takes.

Metal Moment: HellYeah

Ned — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 19:00:53 +0000

Imagine if you were to put Superman, Batman, Wolverine, Beast, and Nemesis all together. You would get a pretty bad ass team of insanity known as a ‘Supergroup!’ Now let’s do this…take members from Pantera, Damageplan, Mudvayne, and Nothing Face and throw them all together….what do you get? You get HELLYEAH! Hellyeah is a band [...]

Metal Moment: Amaranthe

Ned — Fri, 26 Oct 2012 15:44:38 +0000

There is a very big chance you have never heard of this band. Most metal bands you have heard are GWAR, Five Finger Death Punch, Slayer, Pantera, and tons more. If you however go through the world of the internet and search the deep world known as YouTube, you will find some really good metal...hence where I found this group...of a mixture of Trivium and Evanescence named Amaranthe.

Metal Moment: Lamb Of God

Ned — Tue, 17 Jul 2012 18:30:46 +0000

Lot's of crap has been surrounding this group a lot lately. Recently, lead vocalist Randy Blythe was accused of murder by pushing a crazed fan off stage and was arrested and placed in a Czech prison. Metal artist all around are out to support Randy on his innocence! So I think it's a good idea to give this week's METAL MOMENT to LAMB OF GOD!

Metal Moment: Drowning Pool

Ned — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 16:00:40 +0000

After a long hiatus of no Metal Moments, I think right now is the best time to bring back the weekly Metal Moment. Let’s kick off this one with a band that’s been though the roller coaster of metal, Drowning Pool Drowning Pool is highly recognized for their hit “Bodies.’ If you are anyone, you [...]

Metal Moment: Ventana

Ned — Sun, 21 Aug 2011 15:17:22 +0000

I recently checked out Carnival of Chaos in Lake Odessa, MI this past weekend. TONS of acts, including Kittie, Dope, Mushroomhead, etc. But there was one band that just blew me away…and that is why this weeks Metal Moment goes to: Ventana! Holy balls! What a show and amazing grinding metal this band performs and [...]

Metal Moment: Pantera

Ned — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 16:28:34 +0000

Yes….this weeks Metal Moment goes to effin’ Pantera Pantera is the metal band that birthed one of the greatest guitarist to ever grace the stage, Dimebag Darrell. Pantera started in the late 80′s as a hair metal band, but then realized that it just was not working for them, and decided to create POWER METAL! [...]

Metal Moment: Slayer OWNS

Ned — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 12:47:37 +0000

With their massacre of hard driving thrash metal, Slayer claims the spot of this week’s Metal Moment! Slayer is considered one of the “Big Four” (Metallica, Anthrax and Megadeth making up the other three,) and has a metal following like no other. If you have listened to a bunch of metal songs, one of them [...]

Metal Moment: Rob Zombie

Ned — Sun, 24 Jul 2011 14:48:59 +0000

This weeks Metal Moment goes to: Rob Zombie This man I feel needs no introduction, he is really that bad ass. Starting off in his original band White Zombie, Rob Zombie decided to go solo and bring a monster show around the world. What is unique about Rob Zombie is that he bring his addiction [...]

Metal Moment: Dope

Ned — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 11:10:15 +0000

This weeks Metal Moment goes to: Dope Full of hate for the government and hard drivin’ riffs, Dope is just one of those bands that is really hard to hate. When it comes to metal, Dope has a little bit of something for everybody, including an amazing cover of “F___ the Police,” that they [...]

Ned — Sun, 10 Jul 2011 15:02:31 +0000

Metal Moment: Children of Bodom

Ned — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 05:37:03 +0000

This weeks METAL MOMENT goes to: Children of Bodom Not quite sure what is is about this band, but I saw them play the Black Label Society Berzerkus tour last year and it was kick ass. The best part about this band is the heavy riffs and dueling guitars. It is just bad ass to [...]

Ned — Sun, 26 Jun 2011 16:40:00 +0000

Metal Moment: Dethklok

Ned — Sun, 19 Jun 2011 16:47:37 +0000

This weeks Metal Moment goes to: Dethklok.

I know what your saying...that's just a band from a TV show Metalocalype, they are fake! That is where you are wrong! Consider Dethklok the most metal and brutal band of all time (at least that's what they say). Originally started off as a joke metal band, Dethklok has really evolved to a substantial

Metal Moment: Hatebreed

Ned — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 15:27:30 +0000

This weeks Metal Moment honor goes to Hatebreed. If you have moshed in the pits at metal concerts, they can get pretty brutal. But nothing will ever be as brutal than a Hatebreed mosh pit. Filled with the hate and anger, Hatebreed sure knows how to bring the anger out!

Songs to check: Destroy Everything, Everyone Bleeds, This is Now, Ghosts of War.
