I think this is the Youtube channel posting new NWOBHM bands:

Excellent new band from New Zealand; most of the lyrics are sung in the Maori language:

Progressive death/thrash metal from the UK:

Progressive death metal from Australia. Greatest 2 minute intro in the recorded history of 2 minute intros.

Ladies can rock too:

Death metal with Eastern European folk:




Live version:

After Rob Halford left Judas priest in the early 90s, he was replaced by Ripper Owens. Band released 2 records that were maligned and trashed all over the place. Mostly, because because the music veered to close to death metal territory. A shame as both releases had some solid music:

Not just my favorite song on the album but my favorite from the band:

Agreed. There's a ton of bands playing in that style. There's a channel on YouTube dedicated just to groups playing NWOBHM; if I find it, I'll post the link.

Here's one

Love the storytelling in Beginning. Then Swept into the beat with the guitar. Just all-out organized chaos.

Love this band. Very laid back trip hop; perfect for when you want to just chill or wind down after a long workday

This sets the Mood. Smooth Vocals. Just sipping an aged Tequila in a Glencairn Glass. Perfect.

I'm listening to the French Laundry top hits. Killer album.

I thought you were mentioning the French restaurant the governor of California went too. Haha

You probably know of this track, then. But if not, hope it's a nice surprise.....

 

[major.tom.foolery]

Smooth RnB from England. Her debut is a must have; one great song after another.

Just found out about this singer a couple of days. Proof that there's just way too much music out there to be able to listen to everything.

 

[major.tom.foolery]

The harshness of the music and the brutal vocal delivery belie the fact that the storyline of this conceptual album boils down to a love story. No joke.

 

[major.tom.foolery]

This song was all over the radio in the mid 90s

 

[major.tom.foolery]

Another one from the same era

Far from Cornells best, but this is the best track on that album.

Audioslave was a better fit for him

 

[major.tom.foolery]

Roots rock from this Maryland band. Sadly, now defunct

 

[major.tom.foolery]

Stoner rock from Scandinavia (Sweden or Norway, not 100% sure):

 

[major.tom.foolery]

Stoner bands are a riot with the band names and song titles. This one is a two-fer:

 

[major.tom.foolery]

There was a thread in the Nebraska board about Christian rock. Most everyone posting mentioned that the message seemed to take precedence to the music/musicianship. Neal Morse was the leader of American prog veterans Spock's Beard until he became a Born Again Christian and dedicated his life to Christ. He later decided to spread The Word through prog music; he has had quite a successful career appealing both to the prog and Christian crowds.

I think this 2 songs show that you can be adventuresome in Christian rock; one is a bluesy heavy rocker, while the other brings to mind a mix of Genesis and The Beatles.

Please, let's not turn this fun music thread into a religious/non-religious battle. Let's just live and let live.......

Soundgarden and Rage Against the Machine were my go to 90s bands (along with Collective Soul, System of a Down, and Stone Temple Pilots) and really wanted to like Audioslave but could never get into their music. There were songs here and there that I liked but couldn't fully embrace the band.
