Briton Rites - In Hell I Will Rule - Analysis and Meaning - Zar's Top Shelf 007 [ZTS-007]
In this video I play "In Hell I Will Rule" from Briton Rites' second album: Occulte Fantastique. I discuss the allure of Hell to the heavy metal enthusiast and why its embrace is aspirational for most metalheads.

In this first video of the Zar's Top Shelf series, I review the self-titled album by Corpo-Mente (2015). I believe this to be the most important album of the last ten years. I've listened to it 1,000 times and it still moves me. I discuss the impact Corpo-Mente and Laure Le Prunanec have had on me as a writer. After playing segments from several songs, I provide my analysis of their meaning. Th...

Oh! I didn't know this band. Thank you for the contribution friend. Good video.
Thanks boss! I appreciate you watching. Vhaldemar are great for sure! I favor their first 3 albums but you can't go wrong with any of them.
Great video Jon!
@xLSDxUCSB thank ya LSD! Judging by your name you might want to check out the Mindflowers video I posted last week!
@@jonzaremba it's me Steve man! LSD are my initials. I appreciated this thoughtful analysis!
Looking forward to more videos!
@echoesofcromrecords2721 thanks dude!
Man,uve described every pillar of manowar's journey perfectly..too bad they didnt just stop while they still on top of their game..that'll cemented them status with holy greatness instead of what we're seeing nowaday..yeah,die hard fans mostly wont agree..but manowar has long gone from their original sound
@mohdluqman4681 thanks buddy. Kings of Metal should have been their final album. I like Triumph of Steel, Louder than Hell, and the last 3 songs on Warriros of the World...but in retrospect, if they stopped at Kings of Metal they would have gone down as the greatest band of all time and none of the mythology they created about themselves would have been challenged.
@@jonzaremba yeah,that'll crazy be op.but i dont think stopping at kings of metal would be their option..they've got too much offer even after kings of metal..still,losing ross the boss is their biggest letdown..that man may be not the best guitarist ever,but damn,his style really brings out the best of manowar's music.keep up the good work man.. really appreciate ur video
Cant argue with anything he said what a great album
@danburningham7904 thanks Dan. I appreciate that. And there's nothing remotely close to this sort of thing today
Battle Hyms came out when it was in high school and along with Raven and Anvil… are 3 of my fav bands at the time
Pretty soon they'll be giving you the discount on coffee, old timer! hahahaaa.... I envy you honestly. I would have loved to hear this music when it was brand new and fresh. Must have been a mind blowing experience. I was born in 76 so my high school music was quite a bit different. Metal was already replaced with grunge/rap by the corporate forces.
You do have a point there. Manowar kills! Well....at least they used to....their latest, The lord of steel was such a disasterpiece, the ones before that have some cool songs on em i guess but...man! those first Manowar albums contain some of the best metal ever made! Especially these two epics, never heard anything like it before. The rest of Battle hymns is great (i dont even mind the bassolo, i really hate the ones Joey did later on though) but these 2 songs....❤ (Other personal favourites from the early albums are March for revenge, Revelation, Mountains, Thor the powerhead, The oath, Defender, Black wind fire and steel...) Greetingz from the lands of Nether!😊 \m/
@wobvandijk555 those are all favorites of mine too. I'm planning a Mountains video soon. And if you think Lord of Steel is bad, check out the stuff they released afterwards. Totally miserable.
Interesting. I've always used musical content, not lyrical content, to define genres. Your reasoning makes a lot of sense though. Based on your thinking, Anton Kabanen's work (that is often based on manga "Berzerk") is the first that comes to mind as current "Heavy Metal". (Look at first three albums of Battle Beast, after which Anton left to form Beast In Black), He even mentions Manowar as influence. Examples: Battle Beast: "The Band of the Hawk", "Steel", "Fight, Kill, Die". Beast in Black: "The Fifth Angel", "Die by the Blade", "Dark New World". By the way, Beast in Black does a cover of "Battle Hymns". Their vocalist Yannis is one of the few that can pull it off, check it out :)
Thanks buddy. If I'm not mistaken, I think Battle Beast/In Black is referenced on Manowar's wiki page.
I'd encourage you to check out the album by Triumpher from last year. It's my favorite current expression of true metal.
@@jonzaremba Will do, I've never heard of them. EDIT: I would even define them as "Heavy Metal" by the musical content. It is like old Manowar. Straight to my playlist, thanks :)
Very interesting take. I'll have to think on this more. I'll always love Manowar, I feel like the song that baptized me into Metal-dom is Hand of Doom by Manowar when I was a kid.
The last 3 songs on Warriors of the World are the best songs from that album and possibly the last 3 good songs they recorded. Not even joking here, but I literally just listened to Hand of Doom this evening.
I love this video so much.
Thanks dude! That means alot to me.
What’s your beef with Penn Gillette?
He has betrayed himself. It all started when he lost the weight. He has reversed all of his core beliefs in the last 10 years. It culminated with his ultra-authoritarian stance during covid. I used to admire him greatly for being an individual. Even when I disagreed with him. But now, he's just a government-loving populist.
Interesting. That’s a shame. I can’t relate to the COVID thing but the rest sounds like trash. He used to be such a righteous dude.
@@cpe1704tks for real. I still rewatch his Bullshit shows because they were so great. He was a legit truth teller (pun intended) back in the day.
Very interesting. Thank you for sharing. Keep up the good work.
Thank you JC!
My favourite is the Kate mosh 7” released on loop records Austria !!!
I had that! But sold it in the early 00s when I was downsizing my vinyl. Was funny because I had an obsession (pun intended) with Kate Moss in the 90s. She graced the cover of several of my CDs.
..mmmm🤔..so it was consensual..🤔
I played shiver in a crowded club as an opening act for DJ Krust 🤪 He looked so annoyed...
Haha...as he should! That's a great way to either clear the room or set the tone for the night!
Great video! ❤ Wuthering Heights! I have never met a metalfan that even knew of their existence.... Ofcourse that would be different if they would have done a couple of tours with...lets say Blind Guardian for example.....but unfortunately they didnt (I envy those who saw em at ProgPower USA way back) So far i introduced WH to 3 of my friends and my sister, they all were blown away by the 3 parts of Longing for the woods, i usually start with those and the 2 Apathy divine songs. So....in the Netherlands there's at least 4 people that know and love WH! 😀 I myself discovered them listening to a powermetal collection someone put together on YT which had Longing...pt.1. Such a great band, so much creativity, power, amazing poëtic lyrics and 1 of the best vocalists imo. ( i love all the other bands/projects Nils sang with as well!😊) Not long after that i bought the 2nd and 3rd album and later on the 2 that came after. Still hoping for new material.....last thing i read in an interview with Nils that there were plans for an album or E.P. with 1 lengthy new track and some re recordings of older songs that Nils didnt originally sang on....but that was a couple of years ago.... I hope mr. Ravn is doing ok... Anyway....very nice to hear your take on this song and great to see Wuthering Heights getting some love. Greetingz from the Netherlands \m/
Thank you Mr. Vandijk! I appreciate you watching this and sharing your thoughts. I'd imaging WH is even less popular here in the USA than in the lands of Nether...but who knows. It's great to meet someone who appreciates their work as much as myself.
Hey about the E.P. Nils you were talking about, I think that highly likely was the other disc on the band's Salt re-release. It got "Nothing is Forgotten", a new amazing song, and some re-recordings from To Travel For Evermore. In case you didn't realize and haven't listened to it ;)
@@metallyricsarchive9947 Thanks buddy. After making this video, I ordered the special edition of Salt with all those extras. Just waiting for it to come in the mail!
@@jonzaremba Hope it arrives swiftly! Even among Wuthering Heights fans, I don't think too many have listened to Nothing is Forgotten, which is a shame
@@metallyricsarchive9947 😲 no, i have not! Somehow i missed that there was also a re release of Salt.... I gotta have that!😀 Thanx! \m/
Excellent review, excellent artist. Thank you for showcasing her incredible talent with sincerity.
Thanks Ordained. I really appreciate that and am glad her music is as important to you.
Nice analysis friend!.
Thank you. This means alot coming from you.
Are all of the words she is using created by her, or is she also using some words from a pre-existing language?
My understanding is that everything here is her own language. With her other bands Ricinn and Oxxo Xoox, she blends her language with French and English.
This sounds very promising. I'm looking forward to this video series.
Thanks dude!
Thank you! 🔥❤️🤘
Thanks for sharing your experiences with this sound and many thanks for doing this mix. It’s really appreciated. I listened to Spring Heel Jack in my late teens and they have an incredible imaginative and beautiful sound. Jungle DnB is magical music I. Many ways. Would you consider a request: doing another Speing Heel Jack of their remixes and remixes of their tunes by others?
Thanks for the kind words and suggestion. I'll give that remix mix some thought.
Thanks. Have a good one
Listening 2 mixes by you meant I was obliged to listened the 3rd, this. I also think it the same way, oldskool HH with piano and breakbeats was a heavenly feel good music, then gradually became so obnoxious pretending wonder what with those horny chicks on compilation covers. Nice one again.
Thanks again Joe. Yes, almost everything after this era was obnoxious. With the exception of the first few years of Kniteforce Again's releases ... pretty much into about 2010. But beyond that label, all the late 90s and 00s HH was dreadful.
Nice mix once again. UK breakbeat hardcore techno 91-92 is one of my favourite styles.
Thanks Joe!
Nice one. I still remember my first encounter with SHJ, in summer '98 buying "Busy Curious Thirsty" from Virgin Megastore here in Malta. There were a lot of this CD album at reduced price and coming to think about it the 3xLP version of this album still sells so low these days. Maybe over supply? Anyway, since then SHJ remained one of my favourite artists.
Please tell me this memory took place on the Mediterranean island of Malta.
Of course :) @@jonzaremba
😢 thx this was the Sound of my childhood so much much thx Just Great thx😊😊😊😊🎉❤
Great mix from a sublime band who were massively underrated at the time. Have you heard their classic remixes for the likes of EBTG, Techno Animal, Joi etc?
Thanks Dave. I believe I've heard most of the remixes. I have the EBTG release. Probably my favorite. Techno Animal is another underrated artist. I always thought if he chose a different artist name, people would have caught on.
Action-packed page turner! Old man Ogden is a badass. VIGILANTE ROMANCE had me on the edge of my seat until the end!
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it.
VADE for President!
He'll certainly end the Fed.
Thanks for keeping it alive JERRY WATT AXEHAMMER !
Jerry I did this video so long ago. The song deserves a better edit. Wish I had the software then, that I have now to do it proper.
