  • Earth Hymn (Manfred Mann’s Earth Band, 1974)

    Manfred Mann and his Earth Band are among the most underrated acts in rock (and prog rock) history. Nevertheless, they released awesome albums and evergreen tracks, like this “Earth Hymn”, part of “The Good Earth” album (1974). This is a Chris Slade and Manfred Mann’s song, a majestic ballad including some stunning guitar solos and beautiful lyrics about the musical and spiritual sound of our planet. 


    Did you know the first copies of this album entitled the purchasers
    over one square foot or real earth in Wales?

    The ecological inspiration of the album grows into a metaphysical approach in “Earth Hymn”, even if nothing here sounds like tricky of sophisticated. On the contrary, you’ll find a fluid, natural hymn suspended between psychedelia and prog, peace and strength. Even if the sung theme is simple and catchy, the arrangement is an ever changing one, full of beautiful surprises. In a word, a highly original and enjoyable piece of (progressive) music.

  • Gwar ticket give away

    Universal scum dogs Gwar are embarking on their Age of Entitlement Tour and it’s making a stop at the 9:30 Club on 6/9 (nice). Since everyone is feeling so entitled these days, I’ve got a free pair of tickets to the show up for grabs for one lucky DCHM reader (or even those of you who just showed up to get free stuff). To enter just leave a comment on this post telling me what your favorite heavy metal concert you’ve been to is! If you’ve never been to one then just tell me you want Gwar to be your first! On Friday, May 31st, 2024 at 5pm Eastern the contest will close and a winner will be selected from all valid entries using Random.org! Be sure to use a valid email you check regularly when you enter so I can contact you if you win. Don’t worry, I won’t add you to any spam lists or sell your info to Sleazy P. Martini. If the selected winner hasn’t written me back within 24 hours then another winner will be selected. If you can’t wait to see if you win or the contest is already over when you read this, then you can purchase tickets here.

    It’s not every day you get to see a live band from all the way down in Antarctica but you’ll love cooling off from the summer heat with a refreshing splash of Gwar sprayed directly into your face! Or you can be one of the suckers standing around in the back wondering why you don’t like fun. Either way, you’re not going to want to miss Gwar! Even better is that Dixie Dave Collins will be bringing his stoner metal band Weedeater along for the ride. Also on the bill are the Gwar side project band X-Cops showing you how not to back the blue, and opening the set will be Squid Pisser which sorta looks like if Ponda Baba had a hardcore band. Now check out these music videos below of all these great bands and leave a comment telling me what the best metal concert you’ve ever been to was!

    Weedeater – Mancoon

    X-Cops – Light ‘Em Up
