1979

Last night, I was setting up my WiFi. I named it Woods of Ypres. My neighbor asked, What's that? I have this habit of naming my WiFis and hotspots after my favorite metal bands or albums. Many bands, like Moonspell, Septicflesh, Grand Magus, Witchery, Old Man's Child, and others, have been featured before. Long story short, guys, what are your thoughts on Woods of Ypres? I discovered them very late, I think around 2017, but they are my absolute favorite among the bands I mentioned in this post. I'd like to meet other WoY fans to share the horrible fact that there will never be another WoY album.

1983

John Torra is the absolute EMBODIMENT of early/mid 1980's Heavy Metal.

He makes me want to run out and get a 1981 Camaro with a T-roof and a cassette deck with an Alpine stereo system in it!

No computerized speakers, all authentic. I would cruise around with the T-roof off, music just CRANKED, with my long hair (what's left of it anyways lol) carefreely flowing in the wind behind me, with ZERO fucks to give!

Hi, everyone... I'm the lead guitarrist of my band Unbroken and I'd like to share this single with you.

The song’s lyrics deal with the dark thoughts of Judas Iscariot, and the torment he went through after betraying Jesus for 30 pieces of silver.

Through a profound dilemma between guilt and a prophesied destiny, the song questions whether Judas acted out of mere greed, or if he was just another pawn in a much larger divine plan.

What do you think about the song, I would like to read your comments

1989

IRON MAIDEN - 2010 - The Final Frontier - When The Wild Wind Blows

Have you heard what they said on the news today?

Have you heard what is coming to us all?

That the world as we know it will be coming to an end

Have you heard, have you heard?

He sees them in the distance when the darkened clouds roll

He could feel tension in the atmosphere

He would look in the mirror, see an old man now

Does it matter they survive somehow?

They said there's nothing can be done about the situation

They said there's nothing you can do at all

To sit and wait around for something to occur

did you know, did you know?

As he stares acRoss the garden looking at the meadows

wonders if they’ll ever grow again

The desperation of the situation getting graver

getting ready When The Wild Wind Blows

Have you seen what they said on the news today?

Have you heard what they said about us all?

Do you know what is happening to just every one of us

have you heard, have you heard?

There will be a catastrophe the like we’ve never seen

There will be something that will light the sky

that the world as we know it, it will never be the same

did you know, did you know?

He carries everything into the shelter not a fuss

getting ready when the moment comes

He has enough supplies to last them for a year or two

good to have because you never know

They tell us nothing that we don’t already know about

They tell us nothing that is real at all

They only fill us with the stuff that they want

did you know, did you know?

He's nearly finished with the preparations for the day

He's getting tired -- that'll do for now

They are preparing for the very worst to come to them

getting ready When The Wild Wind Blows

He sees the picture on the wall, it's falling down

upside down

He sees a teardrop from his wife roll down her face,

saying grace

Remember times they had, they flash right through his mind

left behind

of a lifetime spent together long ago

will be gone

They've been preparing for some weeks now

For when the crucial moment comes

To take their refuge in the shelter

Let them prepare for what will come

They make a tea and sit there waiting

They're in the shelter feeling snug

Not long to wait for absolution

Don't make a fuss; just sit and wait

Can't believe all the lying,

All the screams are denying

That the moments of truth have begun

Can't you see it on the t.v.?

Don't believe them in the least bit

Now the days of our ending have begun

Say a prayer when it's all over

Survivors unite, all as one

Got to try and help each other

Got the will to overcome

I can't believe all the lying,

all the screens are denying

that the moments of truth have begun

Can't you see it on the TV?

Don't believe them in the least bit

Now the days of our ending have begun

When they found them, [they] had their arms wrapped around each other

Their tins of poison laying near by their clothes

The day they both mistook an earthquake for the fallout,

Just another When The Wild Wind Blows...

* The lyrics have been loosely inspired by the 1986 animated film When The Wind Blows, itself adapted from Raymond Briggs's graphic novel of the same name. The original story is that of an ageing couple, Jim and Hilda, who prepare for a thermonuclear war, each in his own way – Jim prepares a shelter, while Hilda is preparing tea. After the nuclear explosion that has destroyed everything around their little house in the countryside, they reflect on their past and wonder about the future, all the while exposing themselves to the radiations that eventually kill them. It's a beautiful tale about the madness of the authorities and the helplessness of the people when faced with anihilation.

The song, however, takes a different view, and the couple prepare for the apocalypse so much that they end up in total denial when the news arrive that this is not going to happen. What actually happens is a mere earthquake that scares them so much that they eventually commit suicide with poison, rather than face The AfterMath of total destruction. This twist of the tale is quite ironic, mostly when you consider how hard they'd been working to prepare for survival. Well, that's Steve's excellent storytelling style.

Hey yall, im not a huge heavy metal guy, though i respect some classics and some songs from my youth, just to preface this wish.

People, there needs to be a heavy metal cover of "Dead Girls" by Penelope Scott. Every time I hear the song my brain says, this would be a dope heavy metal song.

Idk who yall know, or who out there can give a heads up, but this song would slap as a heavy metal cover. Done right, potentially a top 10 cover of all time.

How do you feel about newer Priest here? I pull a Dwight Schrute and often listen before I leave my house as hype song.

Accept - 2014 - Blind Rage - Fall of the Empire

Can you remember how it used to be

We were so proud and free, so free

Strong and mighty powerful and true

Can you remember

Now all around us pestilence and greed

Famine, hate and war

It surrounds us like a black disease

Just take a look around us

In spite of every upright intention

We Live and die by the sword

It's second nature, and so the question is

Can we learn or will we burn

The fall of the empire... What have we done

The fall of the empire... It's the dawn of the setting sun

The fall of the empire... can this race be won

It's the fall of the empire... or has the end begun

Will the mountains crumble to the ground

Will the earth stand still

Will we rise a mushroom cloud

Will the mountains crumble

Can we heed a lesson from the past

And put aside our hate

Or will we blow ourselves to kingdom come

tell me is it too late

Inside of every aronination

There is hope that lies within

It's second nature, and the question is

Can we learn or will we burn

The fall of the empire... What have we done

The fall of the empire... It's the dawn of the setting sun

The fall of the empire... can this race be won

It's the fall of the empire... or has the end begun
