Heavy Metal Band Fulci. They do concept albums based around Lucio Fulci movies.
I am working on scripts for my YouTube Channel Disembodied Screams. Researching the movie Zombie and Fulci’s album Tropical Sun for the two scripts I want to write.
Hidden behind a mask
A monster trapped in torment
Stalks the opera

Sitting by the fire
Listening to the logs crackle
Sipping cool eggnog

I was inspired to write this Haiku because of this song.
I’ve been singing it all morning.
Enjoy.
Twilight descending
Sun takes one more look at day
Shuts its fiery eyes

I’d like to dedicate this song to those like me getting back into exercising or those who have been doing it for a very long time. This song is for you. So, are you trying to get back out there or are you a seasoned veteran? Just curious. Have a good night.
Adrenaline rush
Runner spies the finish line
Legs just like rubber

Last stars of the night
Fall into Dawn’s bright embrace
New day has arrived

Through the telescope
Watching the stars and planets
In the nighttime sky

For some reason this song came to mind when I wrote this.
Metal in my veins
Filled up with adrenaline
Blood filled energy

I know this probably won’t be super popular, but the opening line to this Haiku popped into my head earlier today. I had to do something with it so I wrote this. I’ve also been listening to a lot of Slayer recently. A band that I kind of ignored for many years because I thought they were just too Satanic for my blood. I realized that if you just get past the album covers and album titles that they have some truly great metal to listen to. I honestly believe that out of all the speed and thrash metal bands out there that they are among the fastest I have ever heard. I’ll include “Hallowed Point” as an example for you. Warning, it isn’t for the faint of heart and it isn’t for those who can’t take blistering fast music. Nuff said. Let’s do this.
So, thoughts on Slayer? I know there are a few of you out there who can answer this.
Cloudy and rainy
My cup filled with caffeine warmth

So, how are you spending this Wednesday afternoon?
Total sidebar: Just heard this fabulous song on Pandora. May not be for those who don’t like really fast heavy Power Metal – I do and Dragonforce are getting to be one of my favorites. I need to buy a CD or two by them soon.

Sharing the stage together
An awesome concert

Got to say, great, great show. Megadeth really brought it. Nice to finally see them live. Iron Maiden was just as great as the last two times I saw them, plus I could see them better at this concert and hear them better as well. About the only beef I had about the whole night, other than the fact I was tired, was Maiden’s set list was exact to the one I saw in Charlotte a year or so ago. Would have been nice to hear a few songs I haven’t heard live before. Minor complaints because Iron Maiden and Megadeth really poured their heart and soul into this show. They are looking older, but they still have the energy to keep this kind of music going.
Flash of silver steel
Clanging of metal rings out
Enemies meeting

Blistering fast speed
Electrifying rhythm
Awesome thrash metal
Getting ready to see Megadeth live with Iron Maiden – can’t wait.
Here’s a haiku I did for Maiden some time back.

I cross the barren white
Drinking in the dust and sand
Parched for life – for thirst
A dead and haunted land

Rotting in their filth
Power feasting with young flesh
Sending them to hell

Of my Top Five Bands, this group ranks fourth, just after Iron Maiden and before The Dave Matthews Band. I have been a huge fan of theirs since seeing them in the round with Def Leppard -cough, cough- back in the late eighties – I think it was 1988. I have enjoyed their music ever since and please don’t put them in the Hair Metal crowd. This band is more classic rock with a metal groove and they do stand out from the Hair Metal pack. I have always referred to their music as Blues Metal – that’s jut me though.

New School:
Eager audience
A crescendo of applause
The band takes the stage
Night-time closing in
As day light takes one last breath
3 miles in the heat
I have been listening to Metallica’s Black Album the last couple of times I ran and it has surprised me with how effective it has been. The beats and rhythms on that CD really help to push the legs on. If you run, and like Metallica, you should try it sometime.
I always liked this song by them and hate all you want, it is still a great song, not to get you pumped for running, but a great song none the less.
A guitar legend
Fingers flying, lightning quick
Gone, not forgotten
I heard this song earlier today and it just made me sad to think how great this guy was and how quickly he was gone. R.I.P Randy Rhoads
Randall William “Randy” Rhoads (December 6, 1956 – March 19, 1982) was an American heavy metal guitarist who played with Ozzy Osbourne and Quiet Riot. A devoted student of classical guitar, Rhoads combined his classical music influences with his own heavy metal style. Despite his short career, Rhoads is a major influence on neo-classical metal, is cited as an influence by many guitarists, and is included in several “Greatest Guitarist” lists.[1][2]

Black Sabbath are an English rock band, formed in Birmingham in 1968, by guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler, singer Ozzy Osbourne, and drummer Bill Ward. The band has since experienced multiple line-up changes, with Tony Iommi the only constant presence in the band through the years. Originally formed in 1968 as a heavy blues rock band named Earth, the band began incorporating occult themes with horror-inspired lyrics and tuned-down guitars. Despite an association with occult and horror themes, Black Sabbath also composed songs dealing with social instability, political corruption, the dangers of drug abuse and apocalyptic prophecies of the horrors of war.

Dio or Ozzy, take your pick?
Me, I tend to lend myself more towards Dio, but that’s just me.
With Ozzy.
