I Like Big Hits And I Can Not Lie (Part II: 21st Century) Stuff that got me hooked in the course of the years, from my very first blurred memories as a toddler to the present day.
Lots of catchy tunes, some cheese, very few flowers. Songs that had a big impact on me and influenced my taste in music. Stuff to let it all hang out, songs for campfire sing-alongs and soundtracks to slit your wrists to. Love at first sight listen. This is part II of II, covering the years since 2001. Despite of the list's personal character, suggestions are very welcome. After all I'm old and I may just have forgotten lots of stuff that did make my day. Great albums that didn't make it on the list as they can only be enjoyed in their entirety, rather than by picking individual songs: Thirdmoon - Sworn Enemy: Heaven (Death, 2004) Defleshed - Reclaim The Beat (Death/Thrash, 2005) Tyranny - Tides Of Awakening (Funeral Doom, 2005) Mourning Beloveth - A Murderous Circus (Doom/Death, 2005) Rotting Christ - Kata Ton Daimona Eaytoy (Black, 2013)

Stranger Than Fiction: Real Metal By Virtual Artists Do you remember...
...1984, when the virtual TV host Max Headroom stuttered his name for the very first time? ...1985, when the cute fellow of Little Computer People was your only friend? ...1997, when your digital pocket pet Tamagotchi starved to death and you didn't know how and where to burry it? ...2001, when the debut album of the virtual band Gorillaz went triple Platinum in the UK? ...2012, when iconic rapper Tupac Shakur's hologram performed at the Cuachella festival, over 15 years after his decease? ...2017, when AI robot Sophia received citizenship of Saudi Arabia? Let's just forget about that hologram tour of Ronnie James Dio for a moment, for metal will always be handmade music from real musicians and for real fans... ...but how genuine is your favorite band? This list includes fictional or virtual or artificial artists only. Admission criteria: - at least one complete song (not just song snippets) - hard rock and metal only - fictional line-up/biography or artificial/virtual origin are mandatory - media appearance outside of the music scene (movies, film series, videos, TV shows, web comics and comic strips, books, computer games, advertising campaigns) prior to or simultaneously with the release of their debut album Please note that not all bands bearing goofy stage names and wearing funny costumes like Gwar or Lordi are virtual or fictional bands. Most comedy/parody outfits like Nanowar Of Steel or Paladins Of The Golden Power Fights With The Great Sword Of Eternal Magic And The Great Kings Will are neither virtual nor fictional. Spin-offs and side projects like Gloryhammer or Lorenguard are not really fictional, either - they just invented some stupid background story to justify their existence. After all and sadly enough, even Manowar are not a fictional band... "What is Fake News? I turned an empty room into an international headline. If you are reading this, you are part of the illusion." - Jered Threatin, Nov. 2018 Big thanks to Ansercanagicus for submitting a shitload of virtual and fictional bands!

Land Of Metal And Heavy: Portland Do you know this feeling when you stumble across a random word, and then suddenly that name pops up just about everywhere? That specific term haunting yours truly has long been "Portland, Oregon". It seems to me that every new discovery was founded in Portland, apparently every other album was mastered at Brad Boatright's Audiosiege Studio in Portland, and every single of my favorite bands had, at some point, performed on a stage somewhere in Portland.
In the 1980s, LA was undeniably the world's glam metal capital, alongside with San Francisco Bay Area thrash metal as a counter development. Then we witnessed the death metal boom of the early 90s, with Tampa, Florida as its global hotspot. Not to forget the New York punk and hardcore scene (NYHC), the rise of sludge metal from the swamps of New Orleans during the late 80s, grunge from Seattle gaining mainstream prominence in the early 90s... Apparently, there has always been a tendency in the US towards rapidly developing, locally restricted music scenes, in whose environment a completely new style or genre could develop in order to have a lasting impact on the global musical landscape within a few years. So I just had to find out if my mind was playing tricks on me or if Portland really is the current capital of the US for heavy music and extreme metal - hence this list. Inclusion criteria: featured on Metal Strom and established in Portland or a long-term creative phase in Portland or still active and currently based in Portland (that's why Leviathan is here but Lurker Of Chalice isn't) Only one album (preferably the most recent full-length album) per band. By the way, according to this article, Portland harbors the highest amount of active metal bands per capita in the US. Quite a surprise, isn't it? While we are at it, what's your favorite Portland band?
