One of the worst things just happened in my life. My mp3! Dead.. Well, losing my notebook would be 10 times worse off...
Alhamdulillah.. My blog is successfully published despite the recent quake disruptions.

IYAN'S FIVE HEADBANGER AMMOS
No.5 - Tool - Useful Idiot
Genre: Alternative/Progressive Metal
Not for the listener.. For the music enthusiast & fanatics. Hearing to Tool is like taking a long cut, which not many will like.
+ Enigmatic and dark intro riff, yet artful
+ Plain, but well-formed and controlled vocals
+ Distressing and hysterical high guitar octave sounds. Haha. That triggers your frustration anger. Headbang!
+ 30-second drum solo at 5:11minutes
+ Explosive powerchord outro
+ Tool music is so unpredictable. Thunderous blast beats or powerchords might slam you from nowhere
Headbanger's meter: Moderate to High
No.4 - Bathory - Baptised In Fire And Ice
Genre: Viking/Black Metal
Harsh vocal reminds me of Sex Pistols, but still have the barbaric warrior approach here.
+ Phenomenally awesome intro, big drums in a large hall
+ Nice old school metal main riff
+ Quorthon screams "Baptised! In!!"
+ The "Fire and ice.." chant!!
+ The choir!!
+ Another old school metal outro!!
- Hmm.. An 8 min song? Too long I guess
- Some crappy guitar solo
- Choir sings quite flat... Bah. Actually I don't mind...
Headbanger's meter: Very High
No.3 - Deftones - Hole In The Earth
Genre: Nu-Metal, Alternative Metal
Deftones are back, with their lastest album Saturday Night Wrist.
+ I just love heavy & hard songs, which has also a mellow side
+ Dreamy & futuristic ambient
+ Deftones still has the magic
+ Fiercely heavy, yet esthetic guitars
+ Elegant basslines
+ Solid drumming
+ Good thing Deftones is moving further away from its crappy "hardcore" rapping Nu-Metal roots
Headbanger's meter: Moderate to Very High
No.2 - Children Of Bodom - Hate Me!
Power/Speed Metal, Black Metal (Disputed. Some losers even call them Metalcore)
CoB has never covered either Iron Maiden's "The Trooper" or Europe's "The Final Countdown". Take note please, you metal posers.
+ Horror-flick keyboards intro (Jack the Ripper turned sherd-guitar metalhead..?)
+ Nice lick riff. Quite scandinavian
+ Neat works of guitars-keyboard collaboration
+ Fiercesome war cries "Woooh!!"
+ Swift guitar solos
+ "I don't give a f*ck if you hate me!"
+ Gruesome likewise kick-ass song!
+ Some winsome attitude by the CoB Hate Crew
Headbanger's meter: Very High
No.1 Most Listened - Cannibal Corpse - Zero The Hero (Black Sabbath Cover)
Genre: Death Metal
When I downloaded this song, there was a sudden finish. So I edited it with a fade-out. It's fine to download covered songs right...? Right?
+ A heavier version more like 80's thrash, damn much obscure (Yes. Cookie monster vocals)
+ Slow crushing doom-death style
+ Brutal heaviness, I say
+ Cool guitar solo at outro
+ Quite a simple song. A good example for the beginner metal guitarists
- What if this is an original and not from Sabbath? What the f*ck is the lyrics?!
- Repetitive to some extend.. Unmelodic..
- What? 5 other bands cover that song too?
Headbanger's meter: Very High
