Judas Priest dressed it in denim and leather. Its roots stretch back to the late Sixties, when artists like Blue Cheer, Iron Butterfly and Led Zeppelin cranked their amps to play bluesy, shit-kicking rockers, but it wasn’t until that fateful day, when Black Sabbath issued the first, front-to-back, wholly heavy-metal album – their gloomy self-titled debut – that a band had mastered the sound of the genre, one that still resonates nearly 50 years later: heavy metal.Īlthough Black Sabbath’s members have scoffed at the metal tag over the years, their lumbering, overdriven guitar, acrobatic drumming and forceful vocals, all originally intended to be rock’s equivalent to a horror movie, have been copied time and again, decade after decade. And always too little distortion (because they have cab section activated - big mistake!).With a crash of thunder, the ringing of ominous church bells and one of the loudest guitar sounds in history, a heavy new music genre was born in earnest on a Friday the 13th early in 1970.

This is not underground anymore - I bet he will sign to a big record label one day! Can someone tell those guys : playing 'nice' ruins the atmosphere! I guess they even warm up there hands before playing - no wonder they don't get the cold, thin and disrupted tone needed to please the dark lord. Only Eltzejupp is worse: Don't be fooled by the evil sounding name This guy plays FLAWLESS and has a good, perfect, blingbling studio sound. No gain - no pain!! Get it? But noone is listening again! And always too little distortion (because they have cab section activated - big mistake!). Sorry Ash - it sounds like a stadium! Aaarg! The looper demos of Ash always sound too good and 'produced' for my ugly taste. So they sound promising - and than you get stabbed in the back by MONO reality when the track starts! The only excuse to use stereo is for the song intros. I record in MONO (standard tuning, notes played backwards where needed, rusty strings (takes a while until they sound dead enough, but worth waiting for!)). I am old school (=true, necro, true, raw, cold, true and true, have I said true?) Black Metal!

This is a hell of a pack and the mentioned rig is brutalīut 2 Kempers, stereo, wall of sound, mimiq pedal. Just wanted to say: Ash is right again (of course).
