Hard Rock Hallelujah: MtlMix07
If you haven't been paying close attention, you might not have even noticed, but metal has reared its ugly head in a big way. As any longtime fan will tell you it never really went away, you just had to dig a little deeper to get beyond the regurgitated nu-metal that mainstream rock radio loved so very much. The genre in general is in the middle of one of its most fertile periods since, some would argue, the mid 1980s. Metalcore bands like Trivium and Killswitch Engage are playing to larger audiences all the time, the classics like Iron Maiden and the Dio-era Black Sabbath lineup are still churning out killer live shows, and experimental bands are filling in the fringes with ever increasing levels of bone-crushing heaviness. In celebration of these devil-horn worthy times, I've put together a mix of some of my favorite metal (and metal inspired) songs of the past year or so. Download, crank, repeat. And as hard as it was to narrow this down to one disc's worth, watch out for volume two in the near future. If you like what you hear, please support the artists and buy their albums or check out their live shows.
