This tour came after a 6 year hiatus for The Moody Blues. After the success of the Seventh Sojourn LP and tour The Moody Blues went on a long hiatus so that the members could release some solo material and spend time with their families. During the interviews of this recording the band actually admits that they just couldn't stand one another any more. After 6 years they decided to get back together and see if the magic was still there. Thankfully it was and the band wrote and recorded the Octave LP and the fans were more than pleased. We lost Ray Thomas January 4, 2018 at the age of 76, no cause of death has been released.

Heavy Metal Roots & Branches Post #6

Newcastle England's Venom crawled out of the underground during the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal. Formed to be the most extreme band that they could be, Cronos, Mantas, & Abaddon took the Satanic Metal banner and waved it high. Productions values were purposely low fi and speed was the motto. The band was a huge influence on the young underground metal scene. Venom is credited for giving the Black Metal genre it's name which was the name of their second LP. This recording comes fro the American Seven Dates Of Hell Tour for the Possessed LP. After this tour Mantas would leave the band and would be replaced by the twin guitar line-up of Mike "Mykus" Hickey and James Clare. The Calm Before The Storm LP was released by that line-up. After Calm Before The Storm Venom disbanded, only to reform with Mantas, Abaddon, Tony "The Demolition Man" Dolan (ex Atomcraft) on bass and vocals and second guitarist Al Barnes. More line up changes followed as well as a classic line-up reunion, until Venom settled on Cronos, Stuart "La Rage" Dixon on guitars, and Danny "Dante" Needham on drums. We also have a band called Venom Inc. that is comprised of Mantas, Abaddon, & Demolition Man touring as well

Heavy Metal Roots & Branches Post #5

Hardcore Punk played a major role in the development of Modern Heavy Metal. The members of early Thrash Metal bands such as Metallica, Slayer, Voivod, & Anthrax  were influenced by the Hardcore Punk Scene in many ways. The Do It Yourself Ethic was one, these bands didn't wait around to get a record deal they released their music by themselves. They also took influence from the subject matter as well. Gone was the party all night and fuck all day lyrics as well as the break up songs. These new bands raged against the system, parents, poverty, war, politics, death, and nuclear annihilation. Then came the speed, faster and heavier was the way after hearing such songs as "Dog Bite" by The Dead Kennedys where they stop the take and start over because it was too slow..
