“Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck” by Prong is a stone wall classic from a classic album in 1994’s “Cleansing” which the band can’t get away with not playing live, unless they want to be arrested for inciting a riot that is. The influence of Prong should not be underestimated with bands like Dry Kill
Not only should Linkin Park need no introductions, but neither should their major label debut “Hybrid Theory“. A Nu-Metal staple from October 2000 that inspired a generation, it launched the hugely successful career of a band that tragically lost Chester Bennington to suicide in July 2017. Whether the remaining members of the band will take
Written by guitarist Steve Harris for their 1982 album “The Number Of The Beast” and considered to be a signature song in the catalog of Iron Maiden, “Hallowed Be Thy Name” and the album was the first to feature then new vocalist Bruce Dickinson and the last to feature drummer Clive Burr. Less so now,
For reasons unknown we’ve always associated Depeche Mode with Christmas and in particular “Enjoy The Silence”. A track that has been covered many a time by all manor of influenced bands and the second single from their seventh studio album “Violator” released in 1990.

For some reason the thought of Christmas has always made us want to listen to a Slayer record or two. Maybe it’s that “Sleigh” and “Slay” sound similar? Who knows. Their debut album appeared via Metal Blade in 1983 and even though it has questionable production quality, it’s been a much loved album. It created
We’re going to nail our colours firmly to the mast and admit that for us at Metal Noise, the firm winner by a length when it comes to our favourite Metallica album is “Master Of Puppets“. If a non Metalhead asked that age old question “Who are Metallica?” or even “What is Metal music?”, the
As the 20th Anniversary of “Wisconsin Death Trip” rumbles on, it’s time we paid tribute to Wayne Static once again ourselves at Metal Noise. We’ve been Static-X fans since “Push It” dropped into our TV screens and spent many a DJ slot playing “Black & White” to an audience on an Alternative Metal night, though
A classic example of a band from one place who do phenomenally well half way around the World but not on their own patch, 1994 saw the debut album from Shepards Bush quartet Bush entitled “Sixteen Stone” make the band Kings in the United States of America.
