BRIAN SLAGEL

As a music-starved kid, Brian Slagel got sick of watching the local metal scene being ignored by the major labels. Working days at legendary metal emporium Oz Records and nights putting together one of the first metal fanzines, The New Heavy Metal Revue, Slagel asks some distributor friends if they'd be interested in circulating a compilation of unsigned bands if he put it together. The distributors said yes and Metal Blade Records was born. Putting in long 17 hour days between Oz and Metal Blade, Slagel pieced together the bands that would grace the label's first release: The New Heavy Metal Revue presents Metal Massacre. The first pressing featured the first recordings of Ratt, Steeler, Malice, Bitch and Metallica, featuring the very first rendition of "Hit The Lights." Slagel founded Metal Blade Records in 1983 and released albums by Warlord, Bitch, Armored Saint and Slayer.Today, Metal Blade remains one of the top independent heavy metal record labels and is home to such metal titans as Cannibal Corpse, As I Lay Dying, Lizzy Borden, Fates Warning, and GWAR.

Metallica - Creeping Death BASS COVER

Dying Breed
From the artist: "Dying Breed -Jason Clark bass, Matt Barfield vocals, Sean Wade guitar, and Chris Price drums, producers Paul Cobb and Todd Washburn for 460 Records. Aggressive hard drivin?, never give up groove, melodic vocals, and monster power guitars."
Visions of the Night
From the artist: "Death/Black Metal with haunting atmospheres and elements of militarism"
Lady, The Band
From the artist: "Classic British rock, Lady were from Barnsley, England. Born and demised in the 1980's, they did a fair bit of gigging around the country but always enjoyed playing the xmas show at The Toby Jug, Barnsley. Almost brought an album out, but didn't!"
ThorncrafT
From the artist: "Black metal with a slight Death metal influence. Very fast, very extreme. Influences include Darkthrone and Mayhem."
Kopek
From the editors: These Dubliners play stormy roots rockers one minute, jaded urban beat addicts the next, and administrators of snarling vocals and gummy guitar textures always. That mix--essentially hard rock cut off from scene and time--can recall BRMC and just about nobody else.
