I feel with the battle coming up the next 3 weeks we need some really kick ass style music
These cuts are some very un commercial Heavy Metal , this stuff you will never hear on any radio station , it is however melodic and very technical
Metal , its not thrash or brain dead music,

The first selection is "BATTALIONS" , An underground band called "Metal Church" was huge in the 80s , but no radio play

The next selection is "DOA" by "Grim Reaper" , While a somewhat commercial band that caped on the "black metal" theme , they had a first rate vocalist and managed to make their music melodic.

Of course DOA stands for Dead on Arrival , which of course we all hope is the dream act

This is a heavy metal band called "MAN O WAR" , A very talented band , pay attention to the bass player , This song is about the Guyana incident and Jim Jones.

"Be kind to the children and old people first
Hand them a drink their dying of thirst"
CLASSIC LINE
------------------------------------------------
One of the most intense songs in Metal , from a one hit wonder type
band , Metal Inquisition by Piledriver ,
A fantastic themed song ,

"We sentence you to death by GUILLOTINE"

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

A very rare song by a comic / rock band , Its rare folks
I still have the LP ,
"Metal Head" By Blotto, Buck Dharma from Blue Oyster Cult puts in a
guest appearance at the end,

All the members were Botto , such names as "Cheese Blotto" and Bow Tie Blotto"

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

A one hit wonder that had great potential to go further
"LEATHERWOLF" , "The Calling"
Great melodic medal

"Here me callin , Drawn to the Rhyme of the pipers tune"
"Shadows fallin , like the rain on the midnight sun"

You have to work to write this stuff ,, really
