Metal Inquisitor
|
Metal Inquisitor was founded in 1997 by Blumi. Shortly thereafter, the band was then completed by drummer Witchhammer ("Tormentor" by Desaster), singer El Rojo and bassist KronoS. You immediately started writing your own pieces in classic metal style. The result was a demo with three songs the following year and a year later the single "Seven Inches for the Second Attack". In 2000 Witchhammer left the band. Since the decision was made to play with two guitarists in the future, they included TP (guitar) and Havoc (drums) in the band, who already played in the original and common cover project "The Left Rhine Happy Natures".

Viper
|
Viper recorded their first demo tape in 1985, The Killera Sword, and in 1987 they released their first album, Soldiers of Sunrise — which, despite the simple production, and the somewhat flawed English in the lyrics, showcased the high degree of talent and skill of the band's members, all of them teenagers at the time. In 1989 they released Theatre of Fate, notable for the metal and classical music mix, with a song based on Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata; another noteworthy song is Living for the Night - possibly the favorite one of most Viper fans. This album was released in several countries and granted them international fame - especially in Japan, where it outsold renowned groups like Nirvana and Van Halen. Read more ›› |

Getting In2: Judas Priest
|
The articles in this series are designed to give a brief overview of a band's entire discography, so as to provide a clear point of entry for the uninitiated. It offers a different approach from the typical review format for the curious newcomer to a well-traveled band. Back in 2007, Baz Anderson, the originator of this series, published his own Getting Into: Judas Priest article. I'm not usually interested in duplicating effort, but that article is now three albums behind; I concluded that an update would not be uncalled for. Moreover, Baz and I have sufficiently different perspectives on Priest that I felt I would have some new things to say about certain albums (in other words, he was wrong). With that in mind, I welcome you to this second edition of Getting Into: Judas Priest. Read more ›› |
