Things start to improve for Ozzy on No Rest for the Wicked, as Zakk Wylde replaces Jake E. Lee on guitar and Osbourne comes up with his best set since 1983. Again, it's not quite up to the level of excellence his Blizzard of Ozz band achieved, but Osbourne sounds somewhat rejuvenated, and Wylde is a more consistently interesting guitarist than Lee. Highlights include "Miracle Man" (in which Ozzy gloats about the downfall of the TV preachers who had long attacked him as an agent of Satan) and the MTV hits "Crazy Babies" and "Breaking All the Rules." ~ Steve Huey
Although Ozzy Osbourne received enormous commercial success with 1986's THE ULTIMATE SIN, his detour into glam metal proved unsatisfying for both Osbourne and his fans. Osbourne spent most of 1987 readying his postponed live album with Randy Rhoads for release, TRIBUTE, and pondering his future musical direction. He elected to return to the kind of music that got him where he was in the first place--loud, unapologetic heavy metal. He also decided to replace guitarist Jake E. Lee with a young newcomer from New Jersey, Zakk Wylde, for 1989's NO REST FOR THE WICKED. Wylde had been a lifelong Ozzy/Sabbath fan, and resembled Randy Rhoads both in appearance and in playing style.
While the album is not on par with such past classics as BLIZZARD OF OZ and DIARY OF A MADMAN, NO REST FOR THE WICKED did represent a return to Osbourne's roots (thanks in part to longtime Queen producer Roy Thomas Baker). Osbourne tackles a range of subjects throughout, such as crooked televangelists ("Miracle Man"), serial killer Charles Manson ("Bloodbath in Paradise"), and even his own struggle with alcoholism ("Demon Alcohol"). Also included is the concert favorite and popular video, "Crazy Babies." No Rest For The Wicked Music No Rest For The Wicked Music No Rest For The Wicked Review

MASTER OF PUPPETS was Metallica's last album with bass player Cliff Burton. Burton was killed in a traffic accident. He was replaced by Jason Newsted.
Metallica: James Hetfield (vocals, guitar); Kirk Hammett (guitar); Cliff Burton (bass); Lars Ulrich (drums).

Even though Master of Puppets didn't take as gigantic a leap forward as Ride the Lightning, it was the band's greatest achievement, hailed as a masterpiece by critics far outside heavy metal's core audience. It was also a substantial hit, reaching ...

No Rest For The Wicked
$9.65 
Live Recording
Fleetwood Mac: Danny Kirwin, Bob Welch (vocals, guitar); Christine McVie (vocals, keyboards); John McVie (bass); Mick Fleetwood (drums).
Arguably the first consistently strong album Fleetwood Mac ever recorded -- all the way back into the Peter Green/Jeremy Spencer era, the Mac's albums had previously consisted of individual moments of brilliance in a sea of uninspired filler -- 1972's Bare Trees is also the album where the band finally defines its post-blues musical personality. Low-key but less narcoleptically mellow than 1971's sleepy Future Games, Bare Trees is a singer/songwriter album in the traditional early-'70s style, backed up with just enough musical muscle to keep from sounding like weedy soft rock in the manner of Bread or Cat Stevens. This is the one Fleetwood Mac album on which singer/guitarist Danny Kirwan is the dominant figure, writing five songs to Chistine McVie and Bob Welch's two apiece. Impressively, all three writers get off a small masterpiece on side two; McVie's "Spare Me a Little of Your Love" sounds like a dry run for the string of hits she would start writing with 1975's Fleetwood Mac, and it's her first really good pop song. By comparison, Kirwan and Welch's best songs are all-time career highlights. Kirwan's "Dust" combines a gentle, gliding melody with resigned, melancholy lyrics and his most memorable chorus. Welch's "Sentimental Lady" was, of course, his first solo hit in its 1977 re-recorded version, but this original take is far superior, and one of the great lost pop songs of the early '70s. Outfitted with ...

"A lean brand of progressive metal with more crunch than a bag of chips...a bonecrushing weight of sound." So describes the music of Jonesboro, Arkansas-based metal band Immortal Soul--made up of members Jason Goad (guitar and lead vocals), Jon Goad (drums), and Jeff Cline (bass guitar and vocals). Immortal Soul was formed in April 1996 when Jeff, a friend of Jon's since junior high school, began playing bass with the two Goad brothers. Jason and Jon had been playing guitar and drums together since they were young kids. Cutting their teeth on popular hard rock bands of the mid to late 80's, the two had developed a taste for heavier metal and progressive rock over the years. Jeff's musical tastes had undergone a similar metamorphosis, so the combination of the three members in one band was a perfect fit. The newly-formed power trio quickly went to work on an original brand of metal, fusing their common and individual influences into a distinct musical hybrid. The band immediately took to local and regional clubs, concert halls, community centers, and outdoor festivals--performing wherever there was an opportunity to showcase the music. After amassing a solid collection of original songs, Immortal Soul entered the studio in June of 1997 and recorded a seven-song ...

Personnel: Rody Walker, Rody Walker (vocals); Arif Mirabdolbaghi (bass violin); Vadim Pruzhanov (keyboards); Moe Carlson (drums); Moe Carlson (drum); Dan FILA (percussion); Tim Millar, Luke Hoskin (guitar, acoustic guitar, piano).
Recording information: Metal Works Recording Studio; Silo Recording Studio.
Editors: Marco Bressette; Giancarlo Gallo.
Photographer: David Schrott.
With a whiplash sound and a sense of urgency near unmatched in their native Canada, Protest the Hero come off like the tantrum-prone child of Faith No More and System of a Down. Prone to both operatic highs and grinding, coal-black lows, the band shows both the chops and the guts to pull off complex, progressive arrangements on FORTRESS. Though it's only their second full-length, the band's science is never less than airtight, with songs like "The Dissentience" showing off twisting Yngwie Malmstein-worthy neo-classical shred and adventurous structures that careen through various tempos and styles.
Protest the Hero's Fortress owes much of its sound to progressive metal, even if its post-hardcore and punk metal influences are still evident. The new sound is detectable as soon as vocalist Rody Walker begins singing on the opening song, "Bloodmeat," when an initial quick burst of a verse gives way to chorus that floats over pounding rhythms and a background string section. The piece sets the tone for what is to come; Fortress is just as aggressive and intense as the band's debut album, Kezia, but not as dark, even as Walker shifts between operatic melodies ...
