Metal playlists from the underground
Dear Metalhead Junkie, I would like to personally welcome you to the Gears of Rock’s Top 100 Hard Rock and Heavy Metal Songs of All Time Official Countdown. I’d also like to extend a hearty congratulations to you for stumbling upon this life-altering/shattering experience. You see, over the last 5 years I have spent quite a […]
Here is a list of the greatest rock guitarists of all time. A prerequisite for making this list is that the guitarist must have played for an awesome band. For example: Joe Satriani is a sick guitarist that produced virtuosic guitar albums; however Chickenfoot is not that awesome. Same type of thinking goes with Steve […]
Here are 10 songs containing some of the most influential and greatest guitar riffs of all time listed with band, album, and guitarist. You have heard them all and if you play guitar, you know how to play these riffs and songs inside out. 1. “Iron Man” Black Sabbath, Paranoid (1970), Tony Iommi 2. “Heartbreaker” Led […]
Black Sabbath is the original heavy metal metal band from Birmingham, England. They began their conquest of the universe in 1968 and have influenced every real rock n roll band that you hear today. In my opinion, they are more important than Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple combined. Here are the Top 10 songs of […]

Insincerely Yours, The Management P.S. When you are done vomiting blood all over the list, test your metal wits on the […]
ARMORED SAINT: LA RAZA After a near-decade long layoff, arguably the biggest hard-luck metal band ever Armored Saint return with LA RAZA, an infectious multi-layered metallic creation brimming over with a deep wealth of hooks while retaining the ahead of their time eclectic heaviness that made the band stand out amongst swarms of bands from […]
Oh yeah! Bringing on some more sleaze-pleasing hard rocking music in 2010 is Black Robot, a new and mighty project featuring three former members of Buckcherry. This album features all of the main ingredients that classic hard rock fans worship—the dirtbag lyrics, the badass guitar riffs, stomping beats, and infectious heavy grooves that will have […]
NILE: THOSE WHOM THE GODS DETEST Those Whom The Gods Detest is the sixth studio endeavor from South Carolina’s technical death metal mavens Nile. Blisteringly brutal as previous works while maintaining the band’s trademarked Middle Eastern influence both lyrically and musically, Nile’s flurries of dastardly twin guitars and consistently jaw-dropping percussion work remain the envy […]
Every summer brings a slew of exciting tours to our favorite local venues, and every summer it gets harder and harder to afford tickets to all of the shows that we want to experience.
