(TheBRHM.com) Cristobal Gallardo is a Chilean guitarist with a background in speed metal and thrash and influences including Carlos Santana, Zakk Wylde, Marty Friedman, Michael Schenker, and Randy Rhoads. In his act Headfist, the focus is more on speed and energy. Also it’s more of a band showcase from release ...
(TheBRHM.com) Let’s get into a few of my favorite screechers and shriekers in speed metal and thrash from the 2000s. Three of these singers are still going today performing and/or recording. However, we’re going to start with a largely forgotten name and band from the early 2000s. Chad Brown of Engage ...
(TheBRHM.com) We recently took a “Greatest Album Debuts” jaunt to Canada for some power metal stylings. As a country for metal music, I dig Canada for its speed metal and thrash offerings but acts like Smoulder, 3 Inches of Blood, metal OG Thor, and Gatekeeper show that the Great White ...
(TheBRHM.com) In the late 1990s, I wasn’t familiar with Kiss at all. Sure, I most likely heard some of their hit tunes in commercials or films but I didn’t actually match them with those songs. It wouldn’t be until the release of the Psycho Circus comic book from Image Comics ...

(TheBRHM.com) It’s an 80s L.A metal trifecta for “Greatest Album Debuts”! We looked at the debuts from Mötley Crüe and W.A.S.P, now we’ll look at opening salvo from a pretty “If You Know, You Know” band in Lizzy Borden with their 1985 full-length debut Love You to Pieces. What stands ...
(TheBRHM.com) We’re getting into a bit of hard rock for “Greatest Album Debuts” with the 1973 self-titled release by Queen. On this release, you’ll get a mix of 70s hard rock and progressive rock but the prog element when mixed with that hard rock gives us something similar to speed ...
(TheBRHM.com) In 1975, Hall of Famers AC/DC dropped a double dose of Australian hard rock. I gave the debut album High Voltage a listen and figured “Well, High Voltage is right there. Might as well.” So, instead of a “Greatest Debut Album,” we’re looking at the 1970s releases and seeing ...
