Call me: Tony Glair!

Disgusting play on words. But this is how I've been feeling for about three weeks, I got a cold that won't leave me. Darn this cold is a possessive one! Because of that stuff I haven't been in the mood for blogging and music. I bought a couple of albums lately, Heaven & Hell - The devil you know and Black Label Society - Hangover Music, Volume VI. Heaven & Hell is actually Black Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio singing (he used to sing for Black Sabbath at the begining of the 80's when they released the famous album Heaven & Hell, hence the new band name). The album isn't as good as expected, especially since I really liked Tony Iommi's (the famous guitarist behind eveything black sabbath) 2005 release Fused which had Glenn Hughes' voice. Yes the album has some good moments, but it lacks speed, usually I like doom metal which is really a slow kind of metal. But doom metal is all about writing songs that piles up the heaviest riffs until a break-even point where speed is unleashed like a musical orgasm. In this album, there are no orgasms. Some good riffs for sure, Dio sings very well but doesn't compare with the extremly well he used to do. I guess the most dissapointing is that the album is okay but sounds like a Dio album and not a Tomy Iommi one... Oh well, I'm awfully picky.
Black Label Society's Hangover Music is a safe pick if you want some rock and a quiet moment at the same time. Usually the Zakk Wylde, Ozzy Osborne's lead guitar and Black Label Society's voice and guitar, offers us much heavier material. Here it's more emotional, well... why not? It sound pretty good to me, often you could mistake it for some Alice in Chains.
