VA - A Trip To MetalLand (In The 20Th Century) (1968 - 1997) [2023] (8 x CDs)

Welcome to a Special Presentation of a music collection curated by my friend Jose at tommentonenlacuadra.blogspot.com and at https://spanishblogsdreamteam.blogspot.com/ who has impeccable taste in music and is a true music enthusiast. His blog is a wonderful platform for entertainment and provides visitors with a plethora of music-related content. 

This carefully crafted set features a diverse range of Heavy Metal music, spanning multiple sub-genres and decades. There's something for everyone in this collection. I am thrilled to share this music with my website visitors and believe that it will be a source of enjoyment and inspiration for music enthusiasts everywhere. It is a beautiful thing. 

Hello Butterboy friends.

For me it is a pleasure to present you this collection, which is a retrospective vision of the heavy metal music that was made in the last century.

At the end of the sixties, it seemed that the prevailing styles of the decade seemed exhausted and the young bands were looking for new forms of expression with new styles, thus, among others, hard-rock emerged, which is the embryo of heavy metal, that despite having some isolated attempts in the sixties, with the arrival of the 70s, the rise of the style arrived and little by little it was established and evolved.

It is difficult to define the style, but we could say that they are heavy sounds and where instrumental virtuosity is usually much more important than in other styles, great guitarists with great technical mastery, scorching drums, powerful basses and singers with great voices, in terms of the There has been a great variety of singers, from those with powerful voices, to the appearance of very high-pitched voices and, on the contrary, very low voices that seem to come from beyond the grave.

As for the lyrics, unlike other styles, the prevailing are the epic stories of battles and imaginary fantastic worlds, as well as a cult of the occult, death and the other side. Although some also continue with the usual themes of other styles.

Over time, parallel styles of all kinds were created, from trash, death, black, industrial, AOR, Christian rock, pagan or Viking among many others.

The collection consists of 122 tracks, at first, I wanted it to be 100, without repeating the artist, but it was impossible and even so many good records have been left out. It is a very personal vision and is not intended to be a "Best of..." collection. Everyone will have their own unique journey and can stop at different stations. Nonetheless, it promises to be an exciting experience and one that any metal enthusiast should listen to.

  1. Even though you say it is not a best of collection, it certainly seems like one. I can't say that I would have picked any (or not many) differently. Darn good job, Thanks!
