Heavy Metal Roots & Branches #16

justdave's notes:
I ripped the wwaves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to re-edit some track marks. No EQ, noise reduction or re-mastering was needed or used. The DVD had lossy audio so I used Traders Little Helper to encoded the waves to MP3 320kbps.

In my humble opinion Godsmack is one of the best Metal bands to come out of the Neo-Metal or Ozzfest Metal scene. Godsmack's consistently excellent live shows has won them fans the world over. Godsmack has sold well over 20 million records worldwide, not bad for a band that some dismissed as a Alice In Chains rip off.

The band plays None So Vile in it's entirety. Technical Death Metal band Cryptopsy formed in Montreal Canada in 1988. The bands fast yet technical riffs, the bass players popping and slapping as well as shredding, and Lord Worm's angry Rottweiler vocal style took the Death Metal scene by storm. The bands sophomore LP None So Vile released in 1996 is listed as #11 on the list of Top Death Metal Abums of All Time. The band has gone through many line up changes with drummer Flo Mounier being the only constant in the bands career.

I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to re-edit a couple track marks. No additional work was required ie. EQ, noise reduction etc. The DVD had lossy audio so I used Traders Little Helper to encoded the waves to MP3 320kbps.

This is a great performance with some surprises. The band includes "On The Way" a song from the original Armored Saint EP that hasn't been played in years. The next surprise is "Spineless" from Symbol Of Salvation which may have been played only once before, the band can't remember.

Early in their careers both Anthrax & Metallica wanted John Bush to be their front man. Anthrax came calling when they fired Neil Turbin after the Fist Full Of Metal album was released. Metallica called John Bush when James Hetfield felt he wanted to concentrate on playing guitar due to lack of confidence in his singing voice. Bush declined both offers because Armored Saint was gaining momentum. Later when Armored Saint was on hiatus, Anthrax fired vocalist Joey Belladonna and asked John Bush to join again. He accepted and that line up released 5 studio albums and 1 live album before Bush returned to Armored Saint and Belladonna returned to Anthrax.

I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to edit track marks and raise the volume. No EQ or noise reduction was used. Because the DVD had lossy audio the waves were then encoded to MP3 320kbps using Traders Little Helper.

As a member of the Big 4 Of Thrash Anthrax's contribution to the evolution of Heavy Metal really needs no explanation. It's great to see the reunion  with Joey Belladonna was not just a one off money grab. Belladonna has been back in the band now since 2010.
