Friday Morning Metal – Dream Evil – Dream Evil

If only the album was called Dream Evil, instead of Six, we’d have another Metal Trifecta! Dream Evil are the purveyors of goofy power metal, with songs about Heavy Metal Jesus, and also being so metal and so is his wife. Oh and their drummer’s name is Pat Power, which is pretty rad.

So this song has a lot of the same feel as their other songs, methodical driving drums, like you’re marching into metal Valhalska or something, with killer guitars and solid vocals on top. Almost sounds like the Book of Heavy Metal. The guitar solo starts slow and soars like it’s 1985. Because that’s necessary from time to time.

BEHOLD! Dream Evil – Dream Evil.

And it’s not a cover of Dio’s Dream Evil. Which is right here.

Friday Morning Metal – 3 Inches of Blood – Lookout

3 Inches Of Blood’s “Long Live Heavy Metal” is such a fantastic album, a total throwback to crazy falsetto, dueling guitar harmonies (guitarmonies!), double kick until your face falls off, and wicked bass grooves. So clearly they’ll have a song paying tribute to Ronnie James Dio. Because he slayed the dragon each and every night, it was his right.
