4-5-2012: Winger - Pull Me Under

Yeah, I fucking know.  Winger.  WTF?!  Same guys that Beavis and Butthead mocked because Stewart wore their shirt?  Yeah.  Same guy that had his face plastered with darts in the Metallica video?  Yep.  Fact is, Winger are a set of talented ass musicians that don't get credit simply because of the shit I listed above.  Oh yeah, and I guess Kip was a pretty hard core tool back in the day.
Nonetheless, the talent is there, and their newer shit is better than ever!  This is one of my favorite songs they've ever done from their latest album Karma!  Give it a shot at least.  FUCK!

4-4-2012: Stargazery - Puppet on a String

Funny how you get real excited about something then you couldn't care less.  That's kind of how I feel about these guys.  It's not that it's bad...it's just that other shit (Megadeth, Anthrax) came along last Fall and made me not care about them real fast.  Anyway, they're still worth checking out.  I may be re-discovering them again today!

Shadows Fall - Fire from the Sky

The bridge is sick! "Fire From The Sky" is the title track to Shadows Fall's new album, out May 15

4-3-2012: Every Mother's Nightmare - Walls Come Down

The Critic will surely appreciate this one as it's in his personal vinyl collection!  I have this on a killer compilation gem I picked up in the late 90s called "Heavy Metal Hits of the 80s Vol. 4".  The songs on that thing are hardly "hits", but are great tunes anyway.  Enjoy this classic!

4-2-2012: Slayer - Evil Has No Boundaries

You see Slayer live nowadays and rarely will you get a chance to see a tune from "Show No Mercy".  I think this is their best album.  It's one of those albums that has incredible songwriting and just awful production.  Slayer should take its 30th anniversary opportunity next year and re-record the whole thing a lot like Tarot and Manowar have done.  This is Show No Mercy's first song...fucking excellent.

4-1-2012: Motorhead - The Game

We're big wrestling fans here at MetalBytes, so I have to celebrate Wrestlemania day with HHH's theme music and a Motorhead classic.  Enjoy your Wrestlemania!

3-31-2012: Bonfire - Day 11

I was shocked when I learned these guys were still around!  BrettRox said they put on a great show at Rocklahoma a few years back too, so fuckin A to that.  This song to me is a case and point of what a lot of those old metal bands COULD do, but often don't.  Keep the melodies, add some better production, double kick drums sometimes and some heaviness, and you get what melodic metal is meant to be in the 2000s and beyond.
