Review NOLA

NOLA is the first album of the band Down, It was released on 19 September 1995. Was written mainly by Phil Anselmo and Pepper Keenan between 1990 and 1995. Recorded at Ultrasonic Studios in New Orleans, was produced by the same Down with Matt Thomas.

Their style is very reminiscent of a cross between the sound of the powerful black sabbath and the southern sound of Lynyrd Skynyrd, all combined with acidic asides that result in long trip. The influences of different components bring elements stoner and sludge, thus making the sound of a Down unique mix. The topics range from hymns to marijuana (Hail The Leaf, Bury Me In Smoke) and intimate subjects such as disappointment and anger (Stone The Crow); the lyrics were all written by Phil Anselmo, with a style reminiscent of what later appeared on the album The Great Southern Trendkill Pantera (1996).

The title is the abbreviation for New Orleans (NO), Louisiana (La).

The group at the time of NOLA was formed by:

Phil Anselmo - vocals, guitar on "Pray for the Locust", mandolin on "Jail"

Pepper Keenan - guitar

Kirk Windstein - guitar, bass

Jimmy Bower - drums

The album contains the following tracks:

1. Tempration's Wings - 4:24

3. Pillars of Eternity - 3:57

4. Rehab - 4:03

Review Kill 'em All

As we all know, "Kill em all" is the first album of Metallica, released July 25, 1983 by Megaforce Records and produced by Paul Curcio.

The band initially intended to title the album Metal Up Your Ass with the cover featuring a toilet bowl with a hand clutching a dagger emerging from it. However, Megaforce urged them to change this, and they agreed, switching to Kill 'Em All. This time the cover featured the shadow of a hand letting go of a bloodied hammer. Burton is credited with coming up with the name Kill 'Em All (referring to timid record distributors, saying "why don't we just kill 'em all?") as a response to the whole situation.

The songs The Four Horsemen, Jump in the Fire, Metal Militia and Phantom Lord were composed by Dave Mustaine, James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich in the period in which the formation saw Mustaine on guitar (who soon after founded Megadeth) and Ron McGovney on bass , the rest were written by Hetfield and Ulrich but they were all recorded in New York with a new training (which included guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Cliff Burton).

The album contains the following tracks:

1. Hit the Lights 04:15

2. The Four Horsemen 07:11   

3. Motorbreath 03:05  

4. Jump in the Fire 04:40  

5. (Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth 04:14

6. Whiplash 04:08  

7. Phantom Lord 04:59   

8. No Remorse 06:23  

9. Seek & Destroy 06:51 

10. Metal Militia 05:11
