Blind Guardian Another Stranger Me

The more I hear from this band, the more I like. Deutschland über alles

Family Fun with Slayer

and just like the video for World Painted Blood, they don't star in these vidoes either. After the break there's Lego and the Muppets, but first look at the German Edition of Sesame Street "with content brought to you by the letter 'X' and the number 9:

Blind Guardian Valhalla (Live)

An understanding of our Tribal Past is something not forgotten by German Metal nor Iron Maiden or Manowar for that matter.

\m/(><)\m/

Nightwolf The Messenger

Really good Fan made video:

Two Very Deadly Sins: Grand Theft Auto and Sodom

and swearing. That makes three sins. Three Very Deadly sins.

Balls to the Wall

This song "remains a metal anthem and trademark in the genre"

Q: Speaking of "Balls To The Wall", that album was, and still is, a milestone in Heavy Metal period, and I think it will probably always stand out as one of the greatest albums ever made by ACCEPT, and ever to be released in the history of Heavy Metal. I know that a lot of the lyrics dealt with love, sexuality, politics, etc., but can you describe the album's theme and let's say, what the title track meant to the band?

Wolf Hoffmann: Well, you'd really have to ask Gaby because she wrote it, but I kind of know, of course. We've always been interested in politics and in human rights and things like that, so a lot of the lyrics that we had in those days, and to the end actually, were dealing with human rights, for instance, and that's really what "Balls To The Wall" is all about. "One day the tortured will stand up" and kick some ass! [Metal Eater, ACCEPT]

Morgoth Fräulein

sings along to this catchy number that feels very Heavy Metal. 

BlurDemmi -  Blur vs Deichkind

Slay 'Em All

DJ Schmolli at it again: 

Queen Will Slay You [MP3] 

Ensemble of Aces [MP3]

German Industry

The Industrial understanding of Metal comes, in my informed opinion, from an Eastern European influence and work ethic unlike us western slackers who had Bon Jovi and Poison ;)

120% German Metal

Well that's what the press release said. I'm serious. 120% metal.

The GingerZilla \m/(_ _)\m/ to the Schmolli One

for the vision of this song and mash up. This seriously \m/(><)\m/ and then some!

Doro and the Scorpions

Known to Rock You Like a Hurricane

The Legend of Doro and Udo

Please, please can someone mash this :D

I Want Out

Don't we all? Helloween doing their impression of Iron Maiden back in 1988.

No One Like You

Well there isn't, is there? Unless you are a twin. 

"Auf Schottland!"

The German Tribes recognise the threat from the Northern Bastard Isles. I'm not so sure if I approve of the video as much as I do the sentiment. Sometimes it's much better just to listen.

"Auf Schottland!"

Violent Revolution

is my only solution.

Napalm and Sodom in the Morning

Who would have thought?

Lyrics after the jump:

Sodom - City of God

Metal fans are quite religious really. Name another genre besides Gospel so obsessed with God.

Mock German Metal at your Peril!

They can:

They whistled* in the:

They had their:

and they have an Industrial understanding of Metal: 

Germans understand the true value of the Mystical Lines of Power. They may have some very dodgy pop music (and the British cannot throw any stones) but by the power of metal, pop music can be unified to become something greater. Hau weg den Scheiss (hic!)

The Schmolli One



and the Morgoth



Today I celebrate German Metal with 16 posts for the 16 constituent states and a hat tip to a time when German Metal was a powerhouse around the world. Especially if you were behind the Iron Curtain.
