Metal Massacre Compilations (1 to 12)

The following "Metal Massacre" compilations played a large part in the early history of heavy metal. Back in 1981 Brian Slagel decided to put together a compilation of various unsigned, underground metal bands. The resulting Metal Massacre series became the cornerstone of Metal Blade Records, one of the few American metal indie labels that still exists today. This is where Slayer, Overkill, Sacred Reich, Armored Saint, Lizzy Borden, Fates Warning, Metal Church and even Metallica among many others got their start.

Various - Metal Massacre Vol 1 ( 1982 )
Tracklist:
1.- "Chains Around Heaven" - Black 'N' Blue – 3:45
2.- "Live for the Whip" - Bitch – 5:19
3.- "Captive of Light" - Malice – 3:21
4.- "Octave" -instrumental - Avatar – 3:48
5.- "Death of the Sun" - Cirith Ungol – 3:56

This was the debute for quite a few band who went on to record albums for Metal Blade. Pandemonium, Malice, Bitch, and Cirith Ungol all released several albums after this compilation. Of course two bands went on to bigger and better things. Black 'n' Blue became a pet project for Kiss' Gene Simmons. Metallica went on to superstardom. Metal Massacre was their humble beginnings, and what humble beginnings it was. The sound quality of this track is aweful. Contrary to popular opinion, Dave Mustaine did not play on this track, even though he was listed as a member inside the album sleeve. The original vinyl release also included a track by Steeler as well as "Tell the World" by Ratt. I'm not sure why the weren't included on the CD re-issue. Of course Ratt went on to multi-platinum success as well.

Because of the unexpected success of the compilation, Brian Slagel decided to re-released it (the 1st pressing was only 10000 copies). Metallica recorded another version of "Hit The Lights" because they thought the original one was badly produced. The solo on the original recording was recorded in Lloyd Grant's apartment on a 4-track recorder. He played with a Montgomery Ward amp. As far as anyone knows, the line-up for this track was originally: Vocals, bass, rhythm guitar: James Hetfield, Drums: Lars Ulrich and guitar solo by Lloyd Grant. Dave Mustaine recorded the solo on the second version of the song and Ron McGovney played the bass. This is the version that appears on the CD re-release. Neither of these versions are the same as the one from the Power Metal demo.

Various - Metal Massacre Vol 2 ( 1982 )
Tracklist:
"Lesson Well Learned" - Armored Saint – 2:51
"Mind Invader" - 3rd Stage Alert – 3:51
"Rivit Head" - Surgical Steel – 3:03
"Shadows of Steel" - Obsession – 4:31
"Scepters of Deceit" - Savage Grace – 3:45
"No Holds Barred" - Overkill – 4:12
"Lucifer's Hammer" - Warlord – 3:18
"Such a Shame" - Trauma – 2:53
"It's Alright" - Dietrich – 3:26
"Inversion" - Molten Leather – 4:04
"Kings" - Hyksos – 6:11
"Heavy Metal Virgin" - Aloha – 3:01

Well, it's got Armored Saint's first recording and only Trauma song that Burton recorded before getting picked up by Metallica. "Massacre 2" also has a alternate version of Warlord's "Lucifer's Hammer," a band many consider to be a classic. I never really cared for them. The only things I know about them is that they are the former band of Fates Warning's Mark Zonder and that every song I have ever heard by them has the drums WAY TOO LOUD in the mix. Obsession and Savage Grace are two other bands that I am familiar with. The rest of the bands are pretty much unknown to me but overall this is a good listen all the way through. The Overkill on this compilation is NOT the same Overkill that we all know and love today. although they will show up on Metal Massacre V.

This has got to be one of the worst "Metal Massacre" discs. The majority of this stuff sounds like garage band fodder. Even the Slayer song, which is rare as can be, is generic compared to much of their album material. OK, the Bitch and Warlord songs are good and the Virgin Steele and Tyrant songs are ok, but the rest just don't stand the test of time. Oh, and this has got to be the most generic cover of all the Metal Massacre discs as well. Well, I guess for $2.99 (new and still sealed) I can't complain to much.

One of the more consistent Metal Massacre discs, although with the exception of Trouble, none of these bands went on to any great success. Trouble's "The Last Judgement" is a slow doom-metal number that was never re-recorded for any official Trouble album. This, of course, makes the Trouble song alone reason enough for me to own this disc. However, there are several other decent tracks as well. You can really see the beginnings of speed metal and thrash on this disc with bands like Zoetrope, War Cry and especially Abattoir. Abattoir, as featured on this CD, featured the vocals of John Cyriis and guitarist Juan Garcia who went on to form Agent Steel. Lizzy Borden, of course, became the Metal Blade house band and is still with Metal Blade two decades later. Oh, and you have to love the special thanks, "Extra special spiked leatherthanks to all you over the top hardcore headbangers and terminal metalheads!"
