11 Great Non-Metal Albums for Metalheads | Lamb Of God Singer Randy Blythe's Picks

Музыка

Lamb of God singer Randy Blythe has one of the most recognizable and downright ferocious yells in metal. He's an animal behind the mic, perfectly suited for the haggard and heavy NWOAHM that Lamb of God specialize in. But Blythe doesn't only listen to the type of music he sings - far from it. The lifelong hardcore punker has a deep reverence for all types of sounds, from the jazz-inflected hardcore of the Bad Brains and moody goth-rock of the Sisters of Mercy, to the pioneering blues of Robert Johnson. Watch Blythe pick and discuss 11 great non-metal albums that he thinks all metalheads need to hear.

    ​@@jessiemartinez3056 It's Randy's list. For what it's worth, lots of foreign artists translate their lyrics to English for wider exposure. I listen to melodeath and black metal from Europe (mostly Scandinavia), and it's usually in English, regardless of the band's native language. I appreciate that Батюшка lyrics are in Old Church Slavonic, for example, but they're doing it as a gimmick.

    I saw Bad Brains in the late 80s and they were amazing. As the end of the evening got closer, HR said "we don't do encores, we will keep playing if you want to hear us, but we won't be coming back on when we stop". Eventually the venue had to force them to stop by turning on the lights and kicking everyone out... killer gig

    The Cure was big for me in the mid 80’s. Really cool transition they made from more raw guitars to more ethereal tones. Boys Don’t Cry album is great, Seventeen Seconds etc. Was listening to all the standard Heavies at the same time. Metallica, Mercyful Fate, Motörhead etc. Sister’s was another awesome band back then, also had a major goth crush on the bass player…lol For me even though Killing Joke has more punk cred with their early albums, my fav is Night Time. There’s something about the sound of it. Loved (and still do) a lot of new wave and post punk from the late 70’s, early 80’s. New Order was another fav back then. Now I’m really into older country while still cranking Entombed and Reign In Blood..lol

    In my opinion, good metal pulls from other genres to make something that's still abrasive, but different in a cool way. Part of what makes Lamb of God so iconic is because you can hear the southern drawl in Randy's screams and it makes all his vocals unique. You can listen to any Lamb of God song and know it's them because of that. The same applies to a band like Car Bomb that incorporates elements of hardcore punk and jazz in their music to make stuff that sounds really audacious and different at the same time.

(That said, I do appreciate "A Love Supreme" as a jazz masterpiece.) Something I'm missing when I listen to Coltrane? Something I should be listening for? Oh - and I'd love to see Randy's take on Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells". I've loved that album since I first heard it at four years old.

    My little goth heart is so happy!!!! I do love that your first one is literally bringing it back to the very beginning though. Not only was the mans ability to play extraordinary, but so was his "legend" and the mysterious aspects of his life... So cool! Randy always has been someone with deep layers of thought and interests and I love that about him!

Had a shirt that of course my teachers didn't like but growing up I always like oldies as well, funk, disco, rock, reggae especially but always love the metal. Seeing how much randy knows and appreciates music over all just brings an even bigger appreciation to him and everything he's done and gone through himself to.become the solid guy he is today. One love and rock on Randy

    This makes me smile ‘cause I was the only one of my (teenaged) peer group that lacked the fear to not only listen to, but “admit” to what I was listening to. I took so much shit for loving metal, and overnighting (alone) to see metal shows in a city that was accessible only by ferry for 14 hours a day - a thirteen year old kid showing up to hostels with 10pm curfews, well after 11pm. I grew up listening to country and folk music of the ‘50’s - ‘70’s - Johnny Cash, Charley Pride, Dolly Parton, George Jones, Bruce Cockburn and Gordon Lightfoot. I then found punk (Hüsker Dü & SNFU), metal, and all things ‘80’s synth - Cyndi Lauper and The Bronski Beat, as well as Dexter Gordon, Joe Pass and Aretha Franklin - Bach, Roxy Music and The Cure. Emotion can be found anywhere, you’ve just gotta be open to finding it.

    Coincidentally, back in 04' Lamb of God was actually my bridge band into what would become an obsession with metal (Ashes of the Wake is in my top 20) But my favorite album of all time, and the album I return to periodically to reset my musical pallet so to speak after too much metal or gangster rap is Kind of Blue, by Miles Davis. The track Blue in Green being my favorite song of all time.

    Very much so! Notably, Coltranes contributions to the album are so absolutely essential to the spirit of the project that for Kind of Blue to be lauded as a Miles Davis album is somewhat of an understatement. (and that's still saying nothing of Bill Evans, Cannonball Adderley, Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb) Coltranes talent manifests so conspicuously throughout the arrangements of the project that it playfully entices a sort of "challenge accepted" nuance from Davis, who delivers a brilliant performance of raw and cathartic melancholy, laid bare as Coltrane confides in, expounds upon and immortalizes the somber, the haunting and the sometimes cheerful notes of a true American masterpiece

    I love many genres of music and I have to agree Blue in Green is one of the best songs I’ve ever heard and Kind of Blue is one of the best albums I’ve ever heard. Don’t get me wrong, A Love Supreme is GREAT, but Kind of Blue is magnetic. I’ve always liked his interviews. He knows his stuff, and gave credit where credit was due, I got mad respect.

    Seems easiest for me to get people into Metal with the Static X "Wisconsin Death Trip" album. Everyone is intrigued by the strange samples, disco-like rhythms and Waynes occasionally comical sounds and singing patterns. Endlessly satisfying and entices everyone's inner curiosity. 'I'm with Stupid' being a good introduction. It really is what Wayne himself said, "Evil Disco".
