Five Bands I would Like to Invite to My Christmas Party

Christmas is soon here and so is the party. I mean so called “pre-Christmas” party. We have already had that party at my work but some companies are going to have it on this week. There is always some live music in our parties. Usually there are some deadly boring old fags playing 70’s pop and rock covers. I have never seen a metal band in any parties organized by my employers. If I was in charge I would organize a bit different Christmas party..

Who would you like to see live in your party? I am into metal music, so I created a list of five bands I would like to invite to my party. After their gigs the bands would naturally join the audience and spend time with us. Which bands I would invite? Read below.

Band number 5: Mokoma

Mokoma is a band I would definitely invite to my party. They know how to entertain audience and how to play some trash metal. I would love to sit down with Mokoma’s singer Marko Annala and share a discussion. He is a clever guy and would probably have interesting things to say. Unfortunately he has quit drinking, so I could not drink a couple of Whiskey’s with him. Anyhow, Mokoma would be a perfect band to start the party with their aggressive trash metal.

Band number 4: Machine Head

Our trash metal party would continue with the great American metal band Machine Head who would provide us some more headbanging rhythms. I believe few dudes at my work would be very satisfied with Machine Head who would start their “my Christmas party” gig by playing Now I Lay Three Down.

Band number 3: Anthrax

After two great trash metal bands it would be great to continue with.. more trash metal! Good old Anthrax would play us their old classics such as In My World, Indians and Got The Time. Additionally they would play also some new stuff, but the singer would be Belladonna. With all the respect, all Anthrax singers have been good, but personally I prefer Belladonna. My great Christmas party would be well warmed up when Anthrax plays their What Doesn’t Die.

Band number 2: Lamb Of God

No no, my party would not be over yet. It would just get better and better, because the next band coming to satge would be Lamb Of God, who would start their gig by playing Redneck. Now, after Lamb of God gig I could have my change to drink a couple of Whiskey’s with these guys who do not say no to alcohol. I would not ask a single “fan question”. I believe they here them enough.

Band number 1: Children Of Bodom

Just before the midnight, the fifth band in my Christmas party would enter the stage. Children of Bodom would start their gig by playing Silent Nights, Bodom Nights. They would play 30 minutes for me and other nerds at my work. Just before the end of their gig, Children Of Bodom would play In Your Face.

So, my party would finally be over and all the nerds would get back to their homes. Well, I would thank the bands and ask them to join me and my mates to see the well kept secrect, Pantera playing live at Tavastia club in Hellsinki. I think I would run out of money before the first bands has entered the stage..

Have a great trashing Christmas party! Who would YOU invite? Drop a comment.

Great American Metal Bands - Machine Head

Yesterday I mentioned that Machine Head will play on Friday here in Helsinki together with Arch Enemy, Dragonforce and Trivium. For those who do not know, Machine Head is a heavy metal band formed in 1992 in Oklahoma, California. The band was founded by Robb Flynn who plays guitar in the band. They soon got lots of attention and the band toured with Napalm Death in 1994. Their video “Davidian” was banned in United States but they received a lot of attention in Europe and they toured with Slayer and Biohazard. Machine Head played in Dynamo festival in front of 130 000 people. Later on the band has played together with a number of big bands, such as Lamb of God, Trivium, Megadeth and Heaven and Hell.

Machine Head has released six albums, namely
- Burn My Eyes
- The More Things Change…
- The Burning Red
- Supercharger
- Hellalive
- Through the Ashes of Empires
- The Blackening

Machine Head is an awesome band. Their latest album Blackening is really impressive, the best one in their career. In fact, the band has taken a huge step forward with this album. They have reached a lot of new fans worldwide. The new album is angry and massive trash metal. Clenching the Fists of Dissent is great song full of good riffs, furious vocals and fabulous hooks.

Machine Head has always been more popular in Europee than in United States, but with their latest album, Blackening, Machine Head has made them well known in United States as well. As I said earlier, Machine will play on Friday in Helsinki, Finland. Here is one damn good song from Machine Head, check it out!

Before you watch the video, check out El Gigante Verdoso. It is a metal muic video blog, written by a true metalhead from Italy. There are a number of great metal videos posted and the blog is definitely worth of checking out! El Gigante Verdoso rocks!

Trivium, Arch Enemy, Machine Head and Dragonforce Will Play in Helsinki

Tomorrow rocks! It will be the heaviest Friday tomorrow in Hellsinki! Four awesome bands are coming to play here in my city. Yeah, it is going to be cool, but you know what? I have got no ticket! No kidding, I do not have the ticket and they are sold out. For some reason I missed the whole show totally. It is funny that I just discussed about those bands with Shaun in comments of my previous articles related to Bullet For My Valentine gig and Bullet For My Valentine album. Soon after our discussion I heard that those bands are coming to Helsinki. Too late.

Well, this is not the first time I miss a good gig, and it is not that dramatic. Life goes on :)

Those bands going to play in Helsinki are just awesome. I really enjoy them. Arch Enemy has released a new album this year, Rise Of The Tyrant. It is a stunning album. If you enjoy melodic death metal and you do not have that album yet, go and get it. You won’t be dissapointed. Here is a sample for you.

You can order the album here:

Arch Enemy is definitely one cool band. Trivium is another one. I heard about them a couple of years ago and since then it has been one of my favourites. Trivium quickly climbed to the top of metal music industry and gained a huge attention. No wonder why, they make damn good music. Check out this sample.

Ok, I said that it is not so dramatic if I miss this show. Right. In fact it is! This is really a special kind of show because there are four amazing bands at the same time. It is definitely the best show in Helsinki this year!
