Female metalheads


Recommended Posts

Girl, I used to wear all black when I was in high school, now when you see me I look like a little lady, in dresses, skirts, heels, make up and in colors. Still, metal is blasting in my car. Clothes don't make you a metal fan. There are people who's clothes scream "metalhead" from miles away and it's all a show, other who dress "regularly" and are huge metal fans. Also, you don't have to prove anything to anybody, not with clothes, no with make up, not with anything. Just surround yourself with people who understand you and you won't even care about the rest. Oh and about the nail polish - I wish there were even more colors I could experiment with :D :D

My wife often wears my t-shirts, Bathory, The Chasm, Enslaved, etc..., and has shirts of her own from bands like Macabre, Ulcerate, Iron Maiden, Raven, Exodus, etc..., none of which make her a fan of metal. Mostly she just likes some of my shirt designs, and the ones that she has of her own are usually from shows that we've seen together that she had fun at, even if she didn't necessarily love what was playing.

Yes but you have the distinct disadvantage of being a wookie.
I did a fitness program years ago that put me into the best shape of my life. I was about 175 lbs. and under 10% body fat, and had some excellent muscle tone. I did the program with a friend from high school who was beginning his career as a personal trainer and nutritionist, so he asked me to take some before and after photos to help build his resumé. He talked me into shaving my chest for the photos so that my tone was more visible, and it was one of the few times I can ever remember feeling cold outside, as I took the photos in January. Having an abundance of hair helps a great deal with keeping warm, and also makes summers unbearable.

I'm not sure but I believe this is what they call man scaping.

Btw, what's with all the weather? :D

    • Whichever tier of thrash metal you consigned Sacred Reich back in the 80's/90's they still had their moments.  "Ignorance" & "Surf Nicaragura" did a great job of establishing the band, whereas "The American Way" just got a little to comfortable and accessible (the title track grates nowadays) for my ears.  A couple more records better left forgotten about and then nothing for twenty three years.  2019 alone has now seen three releases from Phil Rind and co.  A live EP, a split EP with Iron Reagan and now a full length.

      Notable addition to the ranks for the current throng of releases is former Machine Head sticksman, Dave McClean.  Love or hate Machine Head, McClean is a more than capable drummer and his presence here is felt from the off with the opening and title track kicking things off with some real gusto.  'Divide & Conquer' and 'Salvation' muddle along nicely, never quite reaching any quality that would make my balls tingle but comfortable enough.  The looming build to 'Manifest Reality' delivers a real punch when the song starts proper.  Frenzied riffs and drums with shots of lead work to hold the interest.


      There's a problem already though (I know, I am such a fucking mood hoover).  I don't like Phil's vocals.  I never had if I am being honest.  The aggression to them seems a little forced even when they are at their best on tracks like 'Manifest Reality'.  When he tries to sing it just feels weak though ('Salvation') and tracks lose real punch.  Give him a riffy number such as 'Killing Machine' and he is fine with the Reich engine (probably a poor choice of phrase) up in sixth gear.  For every thrashy riff there's a fair share of rock edged, local bar act rhythm aplenty too.

      Let's not poo-poo proceedings though, because overall I actually enjoy "Awakening".  It is stacked full of catchy riffs that are sticky on the old ears.  Whilst not as raw as perhaps the - brilliant - artwork suggests with its black and white, tattoo flash sheet style design it is enjoyable enough.  Yes, 'Death Valley' & 'Something to Believe' have no place here, saved only by Arnett and Radziwill's lead work but 'Revolution' is a fucking 80's thrash heyday throwback to the extent that if you turn the TV on during it you might catch a new episode of Cheers!

    • Full length number 19 from overkill certainly makes a splash in the energy stakes, I mean there's some modern thrash bands that are a good two decades younger than Overkill who can only hope to achieve the levels of spunk that New Jersey's finest produce here.  That in itself is an achievement, for a band of Overkill's stature and reputation to be able to still sound relevant four decades into their career is no mean feat.  Even in the albums weaker moments it never gets redundant and the energy levels remain high.  There's a real sense of a band in a state of some renewed vigour, helped in no small part by the addition of Jason Bittner on drums.  The former Flotsam & Jetsam skinsman is nothing short of superb throughout "The Wings of War" and seems to have squeezed a little extra out of the rest of his peers.

      The album kicks of with a great build to opening track "Last Man Standing" and for the first 4 tracks of the album the Overkill crew stomp, bash and groove their way to a solid level of consistency.  The lead work is of particular note and Blitz sounds as sneery and scathing as ever.  The album is well produced and mixed too with all parts of the thrash machine audible as the five piece hammer away at your skull with the usual blend of chugging riffs and infectious anthems.  


      There are weak moments as mentioned but they are more a victim of how good the strong tracks are.  In it's own right "Distortion" is a solid enough - if not slightly varied a journey from the last offering - but it just doesn't stand up well against a "Bat Shit Crazy" or a "Head of a Pin".  As the album draws to a close you get the increasing impression that the last few tracks are rescued really by some great solos and stomping skin work which is a shame because trimming of a couple of tracks may have made this less obvious. 

      4/5
