Do you remember ? – Probot
This project caught my attention simply because it was such a great idea. getting together many of his favorite metal/hardcore musical icons from the past (and some from the present), dave basically recorded a bunch of instrumental metal tracks and sent each of them to the singer that he had in mind. since i am only really familiar with about a third of the singers, i am not going to claim to know how well suited each song was for every single singer, but i can easily vouch for the quality and the variety of all the songs. its really quite rare these days to find an album where there isn’t a lot of excessive filler clumped into an album, but i really struggled to locate a single track that could have been considered weak. i don’t even listen to that much metal these days, but i really enjoyed the variation and simple enthusiasm and honest input that all the singers put into their respective tracks.
a lot of the actual instrumentation, such as the guitars and drums, were obviously dave’s original tracks, but each song seems to have its very own sound that is especially suited for the singer at hand. kurt brecht’s “silent spring” is ESPECIALLY well suited and very reminiscent of mid era DRI, while lemmy’s “shake you blood” is pretty much a facsimile of later era motorhead, yet it still sounds quite fresh. the same can be said of the king diamond track, which is pretty much dead on as an earnest twin to the mercyful fate/king diamond sound.
