Friday, April 12: Dio, "Breathless"

R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio (1942-2010), Jimmy Bain (1947-2016)

Ronnie James Dio sang with two major acts before striking out on his own, but the success of Holy Diver gave him license to fully unleash his id on The Last in Line.  And while the second Dio album was mostly a logical continuation of its predecessor, there was enough randomness generated by the man going all-in on his preoccupations and tics that something like “Breathless”, which began with a simultaneously bluesy and gnarled Vivian Campbell riff before Ronnie barged in with “No No No No No!!!”, stood out in all sorts of ways, not all of them good.  The track was a rocker driven by Vinny Appice’s blocky percussion and Jimmy Bain’s bass, with Campbell’s guitar more like window dressing (certainly a point of contention for the increasingly malcontent future Whitesnake and Def Leppard axeman), though of course there was no suppressing the power and passion of Ronnie’s growl, even if one was rarely sure about what he was really going on about.  “Breathless” was awesome and ridiculous in equal measure, and nobody would expect anything less from prime Dio.

Wednesday, March 6: Saxon, "State of Grace" [ENCORE]

The Today’s Metal Tune tumblr posted its first song March 5, 2014.  Amazingly, 10 YEARS LATER we are still here and going strong.  A huge THANK YOU to everyone that has followed, liked, reblogged and commented over the past 10 years, this tumblr has been a passion project that took on a life of its own and far exceeded humble expectations, and that is all because so many have listened and gotten in on the fun.  To celebrate the past decade, we are revisiting some favorites from the early years.  Stay Metal everyone, there’s much more still to come…

The Inner Sanctum marked the return of longtime drummer Nigel Glockler after a 10-year absence, which was noteworthy since Glockler’s playing frequently elevated even Saxon’s sketchiest material.  But more than that- or maybe because of that- the album contained a hunger and forcefulness that reasserted Saxon’s vitality, and featured one of the best winner-to-filler ratios in the band’s entire discography.  And nowhere was this show of strength more apparent than in the opening “State of Grace”, which was Saxon at its ass-kicking best.  Not coincidentally, it was Glockler’s thunderous double-kick drumming that powered the show, propelling the song with more intensity than most younger metal bands could pull off.  And even though the chanting monks at the beginning and middle were clichéd (and 15 years too late), “State of Grace” was one of the best opening tracks Saxon ever recorded.  The riffing was tasteful, forceful and atmospheric in the right places, and Biff Byford delivered his admittedly silly lyrics with perfect conviction. If anyone needed convincing that Saxon could still be a relevant force in metal, one listen to “State of Grace” eliminated any doubt.

Will there ever be a moment I won't feel this heat coming up from ground? / Will there ever be a time when I can show myself through open doors? / All I need is you to tell me how to reconcile this guilt and shame / I've already ripped myself to pieces and I've given it away

All the weight lies upon my shoulders and brow the great deception / It's hard to breathe inside these waves of doubt / Total distraction

Can you tell me how to wish away this chaos making my head spin? Can you tell me how to soothe the savage beast locked up inside these walls? Will there ever be a place that I can hide and heal these open sores? Or do I have to cut them out and eat them as my people adore?

I have, I have lost my way / Reaching, reaching for today

[metallicahoe]

Best fucking album ever🖤
