Friday used to be my favorite day because obligations
used to end and the weekend was to come… But now, seems that Friday is a new
start for a weekend of a further more try. On this note I should go on an
inwards approach. With today’s band its not like we discover America or
something… but I surely know that for whoever haven’t heard about Greek prog of
the 70’s (with gr lyrics or not) today’s band will be some kind of rediscovering
routes always thought and perceived as well established exclusively on western
hemisphere.
A Very twisted way of seeing movies, of hearing music, of perceiving things....

The Exploited: Music Suggestion Of The Day 26/11/2015
Today’s band didn’t quite make it neither in this blog
(till today) or MyTop100List of Rock. And it wasn’t for lack of trying or for
some other particular reason either. Maybe the fact that this band is maybe synonymous
with the sub-genre it represents, yet it’s latest releases sound more of thrash
than hardcore punk; so I figured, it was better not to include them in the relative list so I wouldn't be so subjective to the bands and artists' picks, for their attributes in Rock's world scene. Pioneers
nevertheless in the 2nd wave of punk attack from Uk (and Scotland no
less!!) and as it turns out, main influence of the pioneers of thrash metal that
were about to form and commercially take over the genre today’s band
represented with absolute honesty and the rawest (at that time) of riffs!!

Immolation: Music Suggestion Of The Day 25/11/2015
Today I was really torn… wanting to post something
brutal and awesome I thought about Benton’s vehicle…But not! There are
anti-Christians with a cause (see below) and a heavier (!!) attitude about it,
than the brandings and other poser’s tricks to seem darker from what is playing…
The fact that my good friend Chris (X-sickness) suggested them, give them the necessary
push… It’s fierce and provocative enough!!

Pentagram: Music Suggestion Of The Day 24/11/2015
Today’s suggestion is
iconic. Yet it is not considered as archetypal with e.g. the Sabs, even though
they were formed in the same decade give or take one or two years. Why is that?
The band remained in the underground scene all of the 701’s and early 80’s and
had to wait for bands like Candlemass or St. Vitus to emerge before releasing
their first eponymous debut album in 1985. They are considered to be amongst
the Doom subgenre Classics and groundbreaking artists even though eventually
all Doom experts agree on Candlemass trademariking the term (as Metallica did
with their Thrash aesthetics, even though groups like Exodus were way older and
far more experienced since they formed back in ’79)

A Perfect Circle: Music Suggestion Of The Day 23/11/2015
It’s shifting gears again this week hopefully with a
supergroup in mind to help us get started. When thinking progressive and
supergroup not many things come to mind. A Steven Wilson (a.k.a. Porcupine Tree) side/solo project
perhaps?? It’s not the first time if you consider it… but being a huge Tool fan
wasn’t finally able to resist the temptation to move further away from the
groundbreaking heavy progressive themes of Tool and rediscover aspects never
seen, even though the rest are true offsprings of 90’s alternative sound the
final proposition is way interesting… a satisfactory mixture of 50% progressive
50% alternative rock solution…

The Rolling Stones: Music Suggestion Of The Day 22/11/2015
In the great tradition (??) of Sunday’s posts we
suggest and present to you THE definitive rock band (opposed to Beatles being
THE definitive band in general, I guess). Only mentioning the idea the biggest
battle of the bands comes to mind. Both pioneers of Brit invasion infused the American
blues on their notion of rock n roll; and while the beatles kept experimenting
with sounds and formats Jagger & Richards kept on working their principal
idea of archetypal, intellectual and prog (e.g. songs like fingerprint file or
under my thumb) yet filthy and raw, yet mainstream rock (that reached its peak
in the infamous Sticky Fingers album, or if u like, the Stones’ White Album) at
the same time. Being the band that
released the first over 10 minutes blues rock track (going home) and amongst
the precious few that impose their songwriting over just infusing the blues of
the black man in a white’s commercial rock sound, even though their loan were
more persistent e.g. You gotta move, than the Beatle one). The most successful and
enduring brand name in the business with countless trivia information and
equally countless groundbreaking contributions to our favorite music. Its rather
pointless to introduce them or even begin on quoting major contributions and
legacy attributes, to what we today refer to, as Hard Rock, or plain rock n
roll, the record companies’ one; the classic and enduring that perceives itself
as both original and everlasting.
