After a huge break, I'm back to putting up my thoughts on things metal and music. Here is what I've been doing since life got a lot sideways. I've been enjoying the new Beatles documentary from Disney+ (If you don't think the Beatles had a hand in metal, don't tell me Helter Skelter and She's So Heavy don't have some serious metal licks in them) and of course the new Iron Maiden album, Senjetsu. I'll be doing a "First Listen, Upon Further Review" on that in a bit. Better than Book of Souls (as usual all my comments are just my opinion) it's good edition to the family.
I've also been enjoying "The Professor of Rock" who does a lot of min-documentaries on various bands of the non-today rock bands. He does the occasional metal or hard rock band, when he does so, I'll point them out here. I wish Eddie Trunk would do something like this for metal bands, but I'm not seen much from him on the places of the internet I've been lurking. I've also been really enjoying Leo Moracchioli and his "metalized" covers of various modern and recent pop standards. Songs like "Dance Monkey" can kick ass if you let the inner metal out. Or at least give it a good dose of thrash metal straight to the head.
But the most metal thing I've been watching on my hiatus was the story of Anthrax. A full eyes wide open, very little whitewashing and some very honest hard talk from the band about themselves, it is a must watch for anybody who has heard of the band, like them or not. Here is the first of the series. I couldn't wait for the episodes to come out, and I highly recommend a good binge of it.
Anyway, aiming for weekly updates, so gotta topic? Leave a comment. Get the Vacc, Up the Irons, and see you soon.
