Spent the last few months pretty much lying or sitting down due to a nasty dose of sciatica and came across this cool link that has hundreds of old metal and rock magazines from the 80s/90s. Reading through them was a nice dose of nostalgia. Might be of interest to some on here.

Jesus this is phenomenal. I could sit for hours looking back through these. It's the closest to time travel there is!

Metal Hammer gave Angel Dust a 3/5 review! 

It's crazy looking back over these seeing so many classic albums being reviewed. The sheer volume of good quality releases just doesn't happen anymore.

It's also crazy seeing many albums that are seen as classics nowadays being slated by the group of smart arse cunts that worked for Metal Hammer and Kerrang back in the day.

Fuck sake though, I'll get no work done tomorrow going through these!

Talking about sheer volume, these graphs from metal archives are quite cool/interesting, esp for any data nerds ->

There was a changing of the guard not too long after as a lot of the 80s Kerrang team fucked off to Raw and you had Morat, Jason Arnopp, Mike Gitter etc starting to get the reviews who were a little bit more in touch with the newer and heavier stuff.

Does anybody else here convert pop songs into metal riffs in their heads to see if there's any merit to them?

I've done this with many c64 songs. Also took heavy influence from Turrican II Theme song for one of my own songs

Class - the C64 Turrican II Soundtrack was the business 

Any links to your version Mr.The Butcher?
