Here is this weeks post as part of the #metalweekend tag via 
Rules
1 - Choose 3 metal bands/artists
2 - Make a post including the #metalweekend tag.
Thats it! Nice and simple... I will add an extra element:
3 - I do like a backstory, so if you want to then feel free to add a little explaining your choice, or what you like about the band/song. But you don't need to if you don't want to.
The main aim is just to share some cool #Metal songs and who knows, you may introduce someone to their new favourite band!
My choices for this weekend:
1 - Sunn 0))) - ØØ Void
My first pick for this weekend features the Drone Metal masters Sunn 0))). The name is pronounced 'sun' if you weren't sure, and if you don't know what 'Drone Metal' is then think of the heaviest, slowest Doom metal you know, and make it heavier... and make it sloooooower. Its not for everybody, but its interesting, and if you haven't worked it out yet, I like my music to be interesting. This album is one of their early releases and probably the one I like the most. It might sound like a wall of noise to begin with, but if you give it time to develop there is a fair amount of subtle changes to appreciate. It truly is a cathartic experience, and as the band themselves say: "Maximum Volume Yields Maximum Results".
(caution: playing too loud may destroy your speakers, you have been warned...)
2 - *shels - Plains of the Purple Buffalo
Next up is a very different album. Its still long-winded and interesting, but its no way near as heavy as the previous album. *shels have a varied sound, incorporating elements of Post-hardcore, Prog-rock and Shoe-gaze and this creates an absolutely epic sounding album. Considering the lengthy run time of 77 minutes, it is always interesting and at no point does it drag or get boring. Check it out, its a beautiful album, and is worth putting on headphones and sitting and enjoying the album as a single piece of work.
3 - Murderdolls -Beyond the Valley of the Murderdolls
And now for something a bit different... incorporating elements of Glam Rock and Horror Punk, Murderdolls are short, sharp and a little bit crude at times. Most of the lyrics are based on Horror Movies, including Love at First Fright which takes a unique angle on The Exorcist
When I saw you piss on the rug, my heart fluttered
And I knew it was love, true love...
I'd love it if you'd spin your head for me
Or vomit a beautiful pea soup green,
So beautifully
The rest of the album continues in the same vein, slightly silly at times... but damn good fun regardless.
And that is my playlist for today, what are you listening to? Feel free to join in and make your own post featuring your #metalweekend, or just leave a comment below.
