Welcome to my blog

 Welcome to my blog, Infernal Panzer-Typhoon Strider. The name doesn't mean anything in particular, it just sounds cool. Here I will mainly be reviewing music albums, mostly from the various sub-genres of metal. Many people get fixated on just one or two sub-genres (we all know that guy that only listens to black metal for example), but I enjoy of wide variety of rock and metal along with various other genres from classical to jazz.

But metal is my passion and by far my favorite style of music. It's not for everyone and I respect that, but for me personally it is the best. Some of my favorite sub-genres are thrash, doom, and melodic death metal but I plan on covering almost every genre. 


Here are a few of my favorite albums:


Tales From The Thousand Lakes


Adagio


Born Too Late


Demanufacture


Heaven & Hell


Ride the Lightning


Painkiller

A Short History of Fear Factory in Video Game Soundtracks

A Short History of Fear Factory in Video Games  Fear Factory's particular brand of techno-industrial nu-metal makes them absolutely perfect for video game soundtracks, so it comes as no surprise that they were featured in a verifiable shit-ton (scientific term) of video game soundtracks in the late 90's early 2000's. This is a short history of the video game soundtracks Fear Factory was featured in. 1997 - The first game to feature them was the computer game Carmageddon. It featured instrumental versions of three tracks off the masterpiece 1995 album Demanufacture, "Demanufacture" "Zero Signal" and "Body Hammer." I absolutely love these instrumentals, it really shows what great musicians Dino Cazeres, Christian Olde Wolbers, and drummer Raymond Herrera are!  1998 - In 1998, NFL Xtreme for Sony Playstation featured "Body Hammer." Test Drive Off-Road 2 (Test Drive 4X4), also for the Playstation, featured "Shock" from the newly

Chimaira - The Impossibility of Reason (2003) Metal Album Review

Image
 Everything comes together for Chimaira on this album. The juicy guitar tones, great riffs, pummeling drums and most especially Mark Hunter's excellent voice! He has one of the best growls in modern metal and I can't get enough of his vocals, so perfect for the music and much better than stereotypical "cookie monster" growls. By May be found at the following website: http://www.preisvergleich.org/pimages/Chimaira-The-Impossibility-Of-Reason_280__80010016861839727_20.jpg, Fair use, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?curid=7661337 "Cleansation" is a perfect example of everything modern thrash should be. Although considering this album is nineteen years old I'm not sure if it can be considered "modern" anymore.  Andols Herrick shows off his killer drumming skills in the title track, opening with some sick double bass. Herrick is an underrated drummer, he's very talented. His drums are even more fantastic on their self-titled follow up album

Six Feet Under - 13 (2005) Death Metal Album Review

Image
  Six Feet Under's 13, released in 2005 had a definite impact on me. I was 15 and just starting to get into death metal and extreme metal. In 2004 I discovered the highly underrated band Fear Factory. I started with Obsolete and select songs from Archetype and Digimortal, then worked my way back eventually discovering Soul of a New Machine, the first time I ever heard "death" vocals.  I wasn't impressed lol. I thought it was stupid. But over time I moved away from the rock and nu-metal (Drowning Pool, Disturbed), and began listening to heavier and faster genres of metal. I discovered old Metallica and became obsessed with thrash metal especially Sepultura and Slayer. This introduced me to more extreme metal, namely Bloodbath, Kataklysm, Emperor, and yes, Six Feet Under. On windows media I searched and found an mp3 of the song "Feasting On the Blood of the Insane", I really liked the death vocals and lyrics for the song, it almost sounds like he's rapping
