In the 60's the Spiders kicked around Arizona, and then caught some big hits in the early 70's and then the band broke and the lead singer and producer caught some bigger hits in the later 70's, and then there was a resurgence in the 90's

 

But in the early 80's there was an artist making a statement.

 

 

Though to be honestly, the commercial allusion of the release immediately preceding was... superior. IMO. 

 

 

Still, both albums lost to the march of time, and underrated.

This is great...and I usually don't like metal.  The sound engineers/producers for these guys are fantastic.

 

Their take on Holy Wars by Megadeth, from the album some regard as the best metal album ever, is probably their pinnacle if you haven't gotten to that already.

You probably know this band, but listening to vovoid, I couldn't help but post these guys second best album.  Frickin brilliant live

 

The most poignant point of Voivod is their sound was tremendously unique due to the atonal and discordant guitar style of Denis D'Amour, who sadly died of colon cancer in 2005, which should have been an end to the band as integral as he was to the sound. However, a concomitant Dan Mongrain of the band Martyr was able to learn much of the riffs and styles having been a fan, and filling in to complete Denis' uncompleted material the band returned more "true to form" than their output from their major label period:

Audio equipment is a hobby of mine.  This was another track recommended for testing speaker performance.  The fact that my dad was a huge fan of Harry James (and the Bills!) and that I bought him this fantastic album (King James Version), recorded in an acoustically excellent chapel with a single state of the art mic direct to vinyl) many years ago as a present, compelled a listen and ultimately buying the unremastered CD from Amazon.

William Drake had been a member of the Cardiacs, one of my favorite bands. This is a song of his solo career. It is amazing to watch how the mood goes from peaceful to chaos with the progress of the song.

 

 

And here is William Drake on keyboards for the Cardiacs. This clip is from 1990, not 2015 as indicated on the video. If you have never heard of them, give it a try!

@SinceThe70s you know what it is for me, why I never post any hard rock? Lack of Exposure . I know next to nothing about the genre. It was never my cuppa tea. But as I have broadened my musical horizons I am learning more. I went to youtube and there was a playlist called "Hard and Heavy" Really eclectic mix of bands. I found this and it is absolutely badass..I LOVE the visual too
