Thanks roky for bringing up "War" a long time favorite underrated band. Here's one I'd almost forgotten

--- Mother Earth ---

The Geto Boys have an amazing remix of that.

Siebenbürgen - Delictum

Some of the most enjoyable black metal I know. Great female vocals too by Kicki Höijertz. This was back when Napalm Records was actually good.

No Money

that was a good one
i can't believe i haven't heard of em before.

something different here.
blackmetal sounds better after some pop music

LSD : Thunderclouds

The German word for Transylvania.
there's always been many german, or german-ancestry people living there.
many of them came back to germany after WWII (i think they're entitled to a german passport).
So the bandname is a little more than just a translation.
Where I grew up there was a "Siebenbürgersiedlung".

edit:
i just realised they're a swedish band, not german. so the added meaning probably doesn't apply after all.
ah well. sorry for the lecture.

I would say it most definitely did apply. There are plenty of bands who have names not in their native language. Saint Étienne springs to mind [English band named after a French location], as does the Polish gothic rock band Batalion d'Amour or the French neoclassical ensemble Dark Sanctuary [who sing in French, they just have an English name].

That Siebenbürgen album is excellent. Shame the quality of their releases declined sharply after that, but Delictum is an excellent work of black metal. I remember hearing that Kicki didn't actually provide the vocals on the album but that they were recorded by Mariana Holmberg from the Swedish doom metal band Left Hand Solution. But the inlay does often lie - I know of a few situations whereby the credited artist[s] did not feature on the recording.

EDIT: I think this rumour is untrue - Kicki used to sing in LHS before Mariana, and then she moved over to Siebenbürgen.

Mudvayne & Slipknot & Static X - Smells Like Teen Spirit (Nirvana cover)

That is the WORST cover version of ANY song by ANYBODY I've ever heard.

Here's the original.

It's actually an Argentinian band called Bruthal 6. If you look here you'll see it's the same video.

Shame I can't listen to it at work. I'm intrigued by your denouncement.

It's given a black metal treatment, so I think you might like it.
