Vacation days are up.
Summer is nearing it's end, and what a summer it was. It was the summer of one of the best Brutal Assault editions I've had the privilege of witnessing (and I've been a regular atendee since 2009), the summer when I got to see Black Sabbath and Soundgarden play and have my teenage dreams come true. 'Twas a summer of huge new metal albums (Accept, Opeth, Pallbearer, Yob, Panopticon, to name but a few) and, above and beyond, a summer of family, new friendships and bonds created.
So, today, when in my 30ies, I can honestly say I've never felt younger or freer, and I have my friends and heavy metal to thank for that.
With that in mind, I'm honoring this summer and the last day of my vacation with a very special Heavy Metal Friday.
Here's what it's composed of:
Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power
Sepultura - Chaos A.D.
Accept - Metal Heart
Judas Priest - British Steel (Remastered)
And in the interim, these two babies:
the classic darling Heavy Metal Parking Lot
and Get Thrashed: The Story of Thrash Metal
And to wrap things up, I'm attending a very special Keep it True party tonight, dedicated to non other that Mr. Udo Dirkschneider.
And that's all kids. Stay metal, and drink your vitamins.
