Hello there everyone. I've rather neglected the blogosphere lately, as I've been having to pound out a couple of articles a week on 411mania.com, but I did promise more content and here it comes.
I've decided to focus my blog more around lists, features and singles reviews, due to my commitments elsewhere. Now fear not before the month is out I shall post my Joanna Newsom review, and I will conclude my top 1,000 singles of the 2000s countdown. But because that list is so time consuming, I don't want it to get in the way of some serious work I have coming up.
So with all that in mind, I launch:
Daveportivo's Metal Timeline:
In this new feature I'll be creating a time line of metal from 1970-2010. Where after a brief introduction I pick one album as a representative of that year in Metal History. I will of course add to this list once it's finished, perhaps adding multiple albums to list.
Now the point of this time line is to give a flavour of the development of metal and look at some of the landmark releases. Now as I'm sure you know, Heavy Rock isn't my genre of choice so this is as much an education for me as it is for you, and there are a couple of albums that I've genuinely never heard before. I intend to give my genuine appraisal of the piece, as a piece of music, rather than as a revered historical landmark.
Furthermore this list will be constituted of albums that I haven't already talked about on this blog at length. So no: Master Of Puppets, Ride The Lightening, And Justice For All, Kill 'Em All, Vulgar Display Of Power, Reign In Blood, Chaos A.D., Nevermind, In Utero, Back In Black, Van Halen II, and some other notable albums will be left off. (If you'd like to hear about these albums just look back through my listings)
One final note the time line will play out, out of order. So enjoy guessing what will come where and filling in the gaps. So LETS GO!
These are the rules, I will now start the article, in a different post.
