ScreaMachine – Loyalty to the Roots of Metal

…boy… Back in the 90’s in Italy there was a huge movement. In the US metal had faded out and grunge was more popular. The really good bands were coming to Europe. I had been to Wacken, I got to see Motörhead with the Bomber set, and Saxon with the airplane. I remember a very good show of Metallica on the Gods of Metal Festival back in 1999, when King Diamond was dueting with James Hetfield on “Evil”. It was really impressive for me. I remember Sava…

Starting out with some of the instrumental parts of “Halloween” (which unfortunately was not played this evening), mixing into “Orbit” to lead into “Skyfall” is how the German power metal gods kicked things off. Fitting given this is the first album that included both Kai Hansen and Michael Ki…
