Tribute to Blogs - The Super Hoarders

Is hoarding really such a bad habit to have? Not when it’s about meticulously collecting extreme music releases it’s not. Bearing that in mind, I’m just blown away with the range of stuffs presented by these blogs. They are for me the super hoarders of extreme music blogging.

Compendium Metallicum

There’s a lot of blogs featuring lots of extreme/alternative music genres out there. Nothing, however, is as impressing as the angry chairs (or is it ‘angrier chairs’ now?) The blog doesn’t only parade awesome collection of albums after albums, spanning decades, but it also provide concise, easy to understand info on each musician. Heck, it even grouped them into a sort of ‘discographic’ thread with all the necessary albums featured. Definitely, an awesome way to browse for lost and longed musical stuffs of the filthier kinds.


The 70s Galore

The 70s is a magickal era in music, as far as I’m concern. Almost nobody is playing the exact same way as others do even when they practically played the same genre. So, to cut the crap short, finding a blog that actually features well selected collection of 70s Hard and Progressive Rock (with good, succinct info for each featured musician[s]) is really a treat. Good, ever expanding 70s stuffs. Long live the fucking blog.


Hell’s Radio

What would a Metal Music museum be like in a world of blog? Me thinks ‘radio666sw’ might just be the answer. The collection is really awesome. Even with the lack of any information (other than what particular business-music-defined genre a certain musical work is) the collection that this blog hoarded is just amazing. I suppose not all of the infernal radio’s collection accounts for everyone’s taste (whatever the fuck that should mean), but with a logo featuring Iron Maiden’s iconic mascot ‘Eddie’ an old (or die hard) metalhead just can’t go wrong.


Stained to the Bones

The name, the artwork just wrung me by the neck like stupid cows to the slaughter. Granted, it doesn’t seem to be updated regularly, but who gives a shit anyway? This blog has the right feel and type of collection for any old and diehard headbanger to dig into. Most of the stuffs here are Heavy Metal, the good ole way. The rest are some of the most intriguing, rather rare Doom/Speed/Thrash Metal galore. Fuck, it feels like being in a candy store here.
