Welcome to Ton of Metal, kids. Here you will find a heavy music video posted every Saturday, as well as short (sometimes medium-to-long) commentary on the great bands that I have gone through the pain and disappointment of discovering so you don't have to. Also, every fourth Saturday, I'll post a trip down memory lane that I like to call Flashback, as well as the occasional theme month. I do all the work - all you have to do is subscribe at the bottom, or click in every Saturday and CRANK IT!

Flashback - Type O Negative
Time flies, kids: FLASHBACK! At first glance, Type O Negative was a goth band, and certainly it fulfilled that role; however, a little digging in the Type O catalogue reveals that, like the Misfits, the band was every bit as true to its metal, punk, and classic rock influences as it was to its gothic pedigree. Also, perhaps paradoxically, the Drab Four were never afraid to poke fun at themselves tongue-in-cheek style (listen to "We Hate Everyone", "My Girlfriend's Girlfriend", or their cover of "Angry Inch"). Anyway, it's Black No. 1 (I couldn't resist) - CRANK IT! And Peter Steele, wherever you are, may you find the peace in death that you never could in life.
