Really? That big? Cause like I said, if I asked one hundred people in America who Budgie were, a hundred and one of them wouldn't know who they were.

Budgie weren't huge anywhere at any time. They're a band that completely missed out on commercial success. They're only known by music enthusiasts etc.,

You're talking about dedicated metalheads here rather than more casual listeners. They were just big within tight metal circles and not on a universal scale like Sabbath.

I've been listening to The Wretched End. A Black metal band formed by
Samoth of Emporer.

That's right, those early classic Budgie records could only be had as imports in the USA.



Ripping Corpse had that ability to sound chaotic and loose, yet were extremely tight and precise. There's a recurring riff that ties this perfectly together. This was their one-off.

I *am* getting into it, but I cannot be a "Metal Baby" because I don't know enough about the genre yet to qualify. I'm still just a Metal Fetus.

I like Slayer's cover of "In A Gadda da Vida," but that's their only song I recall. I've *heard* of Budgie, but I thought Budgie was a pop group. I didn't expect a metal band to be named after a parakeet. And I've never even listened to Anthrax.

I liked The Wretched End's song "Death by Nature," especially the drumming.

The video has great time-lapse scenes of animals decaying and being ingested by maggots. Nicely disturbing. I've always loved those.

My only complaint is the ol' tired hair-swinging at the start of the video. When long-haired metal bands swing their hair, it always appears contrived and unoriginal to me. What is the point of looking and sounding like any other band? I can't understand the conformity within the metal genre that I thought was supposed to be about rebellion.

Another example of the hair-swinging, this time by Behemoth, singing a forgettable song:

See You Next Tuesday (C.U.N.T.) - "Begin"

Sweet meets heavy in this short progressive metal song, which is remarkably different than ****'s earlier deathcore music.

I like that "Begin" spans several genres, but I wish the guitar music were murkier and less precise. I also find that I miss the sound of vocals...and my *favorite* vocals so far are in Behemoth's "Day of Suffering" (Morbid Angel Cover) that I posted earlier. I like it when a singer sounds kind of like he's puking his guts out.

My favorite by them. Just such a crushing, mid paced masterpiece. One of the "slower" Death Metal bands who just ruled.

I do not know if these guys will appeal to you at all, but I love them as well for the mid paced, doomy style they bring...


Their first album "The Dying Truth" did little for me, but I found the follow up "A Descent into Hell" to be a decent album. Seems like many find them kinda boring, and yeah.. the vocals are just alright.... but I like the doomy riffing... while they will not be associated with the scene like say Autopsy, Asphyx, or even Winter..... they hold a place for me still.
