This release from Canadian drummer Flo Mounier is one of the first, (and still one of the only) educational sources around at the moment on "Speed Metal", "Grindcore" and "Death Metal" drumming which is a growing genre of music. The first disc of this two disc set focuses on the techniques needed to play effectively in this genre. Flo discusses the basic elements fundamental in playing extreme metal drums as well as showing exercises, routines and tips facilitating speed, endurance and control. The second disc focuses on live performances with Flo s band Cryptopsy, clinic performances, over the top solos, extreme songs and drum duets.
George Lynch and John Ross go way back to the early 80's in Glasgow, both members of the Rock band Quasar which played a mixture or Rush covers and original Material, John went on to play in a band called Phoenix and George had a band called Antarctica, now after many years apart the guys have re united to produce some albums. "Law Of Gravity" is the 9th album from Extreme Danger.
Boston-based Extreme are back with Six, their first studio recording of new music since 2008 and the album is one pleasant surprise. The album was recorded at guitarist Nuno Bettencourt’s home studio in Los Angeles and features 12 songs that are nothing less than spectacular.
It's good timing for Extreme to return, as the band's 1989 song "Play With Me" appeared on the Stranger Things 4 soundtrack, which gave them a push of popularity. The band is best known for its ubiquitous early '90s ballad "More Than Words," as well as harder-rocking singles like "Hole Hearted" and "Rest in Peace."
Official Release #97. Frank Zappa produced a television program aired by KCET in Los Angeles in 1974, featuring a sextet that included keyboardist George Duke and the zany saxophonist and singer Napoleon Murphy Brock. This bootleg opens with a blistering medley of "The Dog Breath Variations" and "Uncle Meat," followed by a rather overly long "Florentine Pogen." Zappa offhandedly ends "Stink-Foot" with the comment of "Oh, that's enough of that," before launching into one of his best pieces of the 1970s, "Inca Roads"; this version contains a particularly potent Zappa guitar solo and Duke's excellent keyboard work, too, but it is also contains a sudden fadeout near its conclusion.
