These are some of the best Metal albums that turn 25 in this 2020 and that are important in the history of METAL
No doubts that Extreme Metal reflects good health, you can search the history of a library or in cyberspace, to find out that if we remember a quarter of a century ago, we found very valid productions. Productions that suggestively serve as a source of inspiration for the new generations or even more so for those of us who are perpetual consumers of these genres and are delighted to hear them.
These bands have evolved, have settled on the scene, have been renewed or disappeared. Glorious or disastrous stories where their musicians are the main protagonists of these productions that have given us sensations to continue living and notice how they have transformed or developed the genres such as Death Metal that currently border on technicality in a masterful way.
Behind these albums is the inspiration of the events of those moments or junctures.
We perceive how some bands were born and jumped from anonymity, others were already having some success that brought them down in their creative capacity and ultimately gave us songs that are considered hymns to this day. The following are just a sample, there are many more from other genres, but for me and for my peculiar taste he dedicated a review to them so as not to forget them and share them because it is never too late to listen to them.
2FEAR FACTORY – “DEMANUFACTURE”
Concept albums are always a very appreciable job. His second demo released after an incredible success of “Soul Of A New Machine”, “Demanufacture” brought us the dispute of the Human Will against machines, a soundtrack prepared by Dino Cazares on the guitar, keyboards and choirs Burton C. Bell in vocals and musical arrangements, Christian Olde Wolbers on bass and Raymond Herrera on drums and more musical arrangements, we had a production called Metal Industrial.
They benefited from complementary ingredients as an important characteristic in their sound, it was the base of songs like “Replica”, “Dog Day Sunrise”, “A Therapy For Pain”, which came to be classified as inspiration or catalyst of Nu Metal that was strong in those years. Taking into account that for example in the voices they were held in the combinations of guttural and clean or the enormous cruising speed in the percussions, doubting it was allowed but their reality was stained when seeing them on stage.
The opening to musical creation without stereotypes was given and almost patented with FEAR FACTORY and it was just one of many of that time, without losing the criticism of musical poverty of some critics of the moment, but for tastes the colors. Everything began to be different produced a dynamic reaction current for the demand for dynamism in what the bands would have to give us. They had their sound, they were unique or strange. Criticized and reprehensible were the following editions or remixes such as “Remanufacture” that exterminated this incredible production as a “Terminator”.
