Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320
Info:
Many know that Rudy Schenker (longtime Scorpions guitarist) and
Michael Schenker ( UFO, Michael Schenker Group, and on a few occasions,
Scorpions as well) are brothers. Fewer know that the pair has a sister,
Barbara, also involved in metal. She was and is the songwriter,
keyboardist, and leader of Viva, a German band that achieved some
success in the early eighties, making them one of the older metal bands
from that country (though her brother's group Scorpions were far older).
Style-wise, as heard on 1981's What The Hell Is Going On, Viva was
firmly rooted in early 80's rock/metal. The band has released five
albums, but Schenker was only a part of the first three, as she had
departed before 1984's Apocalypse and was not a part of the odd Andy
Fach-led version of the band that recorded the obscure Cream Cake Box in
1996. Eventually Schenker and vocalist Marc Paganini from the old days
decided there was still some live in the band, and they put together a
new lineup in 2007.

10. Warriors to the Slaughter 06:24 Artist : Ravensire Country : Portugal Release : We March Forward Year : 2013 Genre : Heavy Metal File Type : mp3 320 Info: “We
March Forward” has everything a metal fan longs for. What is really
amazing is that old school traditional Heavy Metal can sound so fresh 30
years after its inception when performed by such talented musicians as
RAVENSIRE. Rick's gritty melodic vocal performance is just amazing.
Killer guitars, courtesly of Nuno and Ze, from ripping riffage to
schorching melodic solos, that are just fantastic, plus a rhythm section
loosely relaxed yet always on point, laying the foundation for those
epic lyrical kick ass tunes RAVENSIRE have conconcted. “We March
Forward” is a listen from start to end kind of album.

6. Crank It Up! Artist : Supershit 666 Country : UK Release : Supershit 666 Year : 1999 Genre : Hard Rock File Type : mp3 128 Info:
It is a non-stop fast/sleazy/heavy/noisy mother of a rock-n-roll
disc. Members of Wildhearts, Backyard Babies, and Hellacopters... and
better than all three. I wish they would just do this project, or at
least do another ep. If you hear this and don't start jumping around
your living room like a maniac, you don't understand real punky rock.
