Lazarus Ledd 088 Heavy Metal

This is the third full-length album from Metalucifer, a Japanese band playing – you guessed it! – heavy metal…

Documentary profiling the history of British heavy metal, with the emphasis on the godfathers of the genre, Iron Maiden, along with other bands of that ilk, including Samson, Saxon, Diamond Head and many others.

Heavy Metal Rules is the fifth studio album by American heavy metal band Steel Panther, released on September 27, 2019. The album is named after the "philosophy" of the "Zebraman" from the 1986 documentary film Heavy Metal Parking Lot. California’s greatest export and professional life coaches Steel Panther are celebrating the release of their new album the only way they know how; with a full-on sensory overload as only the Panther can. “This is the record you put on when you’re getting ready to go out and party. This is the record you put on when you’ve had a bad day at work. This is the record you put on when you wanna practice making babies. This is the record you ALWAYS just put on. Why? Because….HEAVY METAL RULES,” explains Steel Panther.

By the end of the 1970s, the original triumvirate of hard rock heroes Zeppelin, Purple and Sabbath had either graduated to the arenas of the world, or even split up, whilst the second wave of British heavy rockers, including UFO, Motörhead and Judas Priest, were beginning to fill theatres across the land. Punk exploded in 1976 and 1977, and the DIY ethos that sprang up in its wake soon influenced the grassroots metal bands who had yet to leave their local bars and clubs. Often independently released, some of the bands in this set never made more than one now highly prized and collectable 45 or one-off EP.
