Actually, that's got me thinking about some excellent albums from great bands  which were unfairly considered weak just because they came before or after great ones.

 

Alice in Chains. Would have went for Heaven Beside You but this is a bit more metal

 

 

Smashing Pumpkins - Machina

 

 

 

Any others?

Smashing Pumpkins weren't Metal.

 

Soundgarden and Alice In Chains were mostly metal - AIC classes themselves as metal not Grunge.

To be fair, you're probably right. Hard band to categorise though and they certainly had some metal moments.

 

Applying the same logic though, I would find it hard to put Soundgarden in the metal category. Some heavy songs but mostly grunge and alt rock although a great band overall.

 

One of the things I loved about early 90's was the mixing of genres. Band like the 3 above with Faith No More, Jane's Addiction, Blind Melon et al really loved to mix it up, usually with amazing results.

Soundgarden were heavily influenced by Black Sabbath, which you can hear clearly on a lot of their songs up to and including BadMotorFinger.

 

Screaming Trees were one of my favourites from that era.  Maybe we should take this to a new Grunge/Alt Rock thread...

Exactly this, just think of Rusty Cage's main riff, Sabbath down the back! In 7/4...

 

There's lots of different metal of course and I'd include grunge myself, but maybe I should have called the thread heavy rock to avoid any doubt

 

Seeing as we're all enjoying Soundgarden though, here's one from the pre facial hair days, with Chris looking just weird

Thought this was a metal thread :D Temple of the Dog were amazing though. Times of Trouble is probably one of my favourite songs of all time.

Pearl Jam recorded a version of the song titled Footsteps with different lyrics.  It was a b-side.

Man, see the first time I heard this, bloody hell!! 

They're trying to build a prison....

 

 

Here's a bit of a sideways move, Sepultura's very magnificent Eloy Casagrande playing along with his own Manipulation of Tragedy - he's just incredible!

"Here I lie
A broken man that
Waits to die
It's no good,
But I
Wonder why
You have left me here
My pride
Forgave

 

Rise
Give up, give in, lie down
I never will
Give up, give in, lie down
I never
Will

 

As I lay
How I have dreamed of
This day
All the things I thought
I would say
Now all I can do
Is pray
And wait

 

Rise
Give up, give in, lie down
I never will

 

Crucified
I alone lay here
My pride
Forgave

 

Rise
Give up, give in, lie down
I never will
Never
Will"

Great Industrial Metal /\ Industrial Death Metal songs; CHAPTER I:

 

Dead World is a little bit forgotten band; mostly a one man band, thanks to Jonathan Canady. Simple atmospheric riffs, nice melodies, bass and a lot of fresh ideas. I like that this band has some interesting dark-ambient tracks too.

Great Industrial Metal /\ Industrial Death Metal songs; CHAPTER II:

 

One of the best vocal works I have ever heard. Phenomenal vocals and range. Great original songs with prominent and untypical bass lines & extraordinary vocals; thoughtful  and colorful guitar, lyrics and drum work. You can find here wonderful jazzy bits too.

 

Ultraspank - Ultraspank (1998)

 

Ultraspank - Sponge

 

 

Ultraspank - Perfect

 

 

Ultraspank - Wrapped

Great Industrial Metal /\ Industrial Death Metal songs; CHAPTER III:

 

Pitchshifter is one of the originators of Industrial Death Metal, it seems they invented the term with their "Industrial Death - A Spill of Sound" 1990 demo and "Death Industrial" 1991 single. This band has absolutely unique lead guitar work, it's so imaginative and powerful - thanks to Johnny A. Carter (lead guitarist, programmer and one of the composers).
Monolithic, catchy and crushing riffs, deep death metal vocals and heavy pummeling bass guitar with mechanistic & accented drum parts create a dismal atmosphere.
Lead guitar here (mournful & majestic) is from another dimension, there is no any doubt in that. 

 

Songs:

*******izer (Submit 1992)
Catharsis (Industrial 1991)
Brutal Cancroid (Industrial 1991)
Diable (Desensitized 1993)

Great Industrial Metal /\ Industrial Death Metal songs; CHAPTER IV:

 

Devolved is a Technical Industrial Death Metal band, they will eradicate every bit of you with their complex songs and lyrics. The main composer of the band is a drummer, so expect a really fast and sophisticated drum work (thanks to John Sankey).  Unique, unorthodox and insanely difficult lyrics should be mentioned; these words and sentences are trying to act with each other in a weird manner, forming a deep meaning.

 

Songs:

 

Devolved - Fractured (Calculated 2010) [Rerecorded version of 2004 album]
Devolved - Distorted (Technologies 2001)
Devolved - Emergence (Technologies 2001)

 

Additional information: www.darklyrics.com/d/devolved.html

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Fractured

 

Calculated volition
Activated defect
Negatives expanding
Callous innovation
Tampering with origin
Manipulated symmetry of our impending cataclysm

 

Breach of evolution without tolerance
Mechanizing trepidation
Stem of vital nerves eradicated

 

Integrated artificial generations
Overloaded re-enforcing
Neurological derangement
Breach of evolution without tolerance
Mechanizing trepidation
Stem of vital nerves eradicated
Instigating
Insufficiency of absolution
Inner dire visions
Global disconnection automated
Systematic lethal form inseminates
Acceleration of demise
Failed human legion
Globalizing disconnected
Automation
Revolution of procreated parasite

 

Breach of evolution without tolerance
Mechanizing trepidation
Stem of vital nerves eradicated

 

Integrated artificial generations
Overloaded re-enforcing
Neurological derangement
Psychologic scourge
Breakdown evolution
Fundamental enemies
Virtual cage of humanized dissent

 

Distort perception
Imposing damage internal
Mutated non compliance
Agitate unfolding crisis
Syncopated deception

 

Deconstruction began long before in us all
Agitate compliance of evolution
Fundamental enemies
Critical impassive deprivation
Execrated human imminence
Eliminating process of our reconstruction
Become the forgotten
Global disconnection
Automated
Revolution of procreated parasite
Erosion of the mind

 

Distort perception
Imposing damage internal
Mutated non compliance
Agitate unfolding crisis
Syncopated deception

When metal bands grab an acoustic guitar:

 

Songs:

Sepultura - The Abyss (Schizophrenia 1987) /Guitar by Andreas Kisser/

Morbid Angel - Desolate Ways (Blessed are the Sick 1991) /Guitar by Richard Brunelle/

Krisiun - Diableros (Ageless Venomous 2001) /Guitar by Moyses Kolesne/

Dry Kill Logic - Goodnight (The Darker Side of Nonsense 2001)

Mudvayne - Dead Inside (Mudvayne 2009)

 

 

 

 

 

Dry Kill Logic - Goodnight

 

Now that I
Face the world with pain inside
Strange but I
Can't understand the reasons why
Forever is
A world that I cannot describe
That Died the time we said goodnight
It makes no difference, wrong or right
The time has come to say goodnight
And how could I
Be so sure but be so wrong?
And how could I?
Have a will so weak with a mind so strong?
And Only I
Can tell the difference right or wrong
It makes no difference, wrong or right
The time has come to say goodnight
It makes no difference, wrong or right
I guess it's best we say goodnight

Sepultura -- War (Bob Marley cover)

 

Mother Nature

Nativo-Americano-Mulher-Veados-ndios-Da-

 

 

Until the philosophy which holds one race
Superior and another inferior
Everywhere is war

 

War in the east, war in the west
War up north, war down south
War

 

Until the color of a man's skin
Is no more significant
Than the colour of his eyes
I got to say there will be a war

 

War in the east, war in the west
War up north, war down south
War

 

That until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all
Without regard to race
There will be a war

 

War in the east, war in the west
War up north, war down south
War
War
War
War

 

War, War, War, War

 

War in the east (It's a war)
War in the west (now everywhere is war)
War up north (It's a war)
War down south (now everywhere is war)
War in the east, war in the west
War up north, war down south

 

War, war (we find It necessary)
War, war
War, war (we find It necessary)
War, war
War (and we know we shall win)
(And we are confident)

 

War in Africa or America
North America or Brazil
Or Australia, It doesn't matter
We're the same
