Coleman's 1990's; Part four - 1993

Wow. It feels like on this blog all years go pass like weeks. We've only just started and it's 1993 already (or again, depending how you're going to look at it). And it looks like for me things got a little bit heavier. They actually got far, far heavier than this selection shows as one of my friends at that time was a very dedicated metal fan (a doctor nod to Seba) and I would borrow a lot of music from him to have a try. I got introduced to bands like Samael, Paradise Lost, Cathedral, Moonspell, Morbid Angel, Deicide, Sepultura and god knows what else. Some of them, I go back to now and again but as you can tell, none of them made it to my very top of the 'most important' pile. But fear not, there is still plenty of good music to go round. Now, I don't really want to make anyone upset or cause any metal heart a torrent of rusty tears, but I would probably go as far as to say that there is still plenty of MUCH BETTER music to go round. And the best examples await you just after the jump.

Kuba's 1990's. The end of the beginning. 1991

1991. Oh, that was the year. Or maybe I should say The Year. It really changed my life with music. To tell the truth I discovered 1991 about a year later. I mean I was aware of bands like Pearl Jam or RHCP but it was really 1992 – when I started my secondary school – when I discovered how important they are. For me, not for the world. But it doesn't really matter now. Anyway 1991 starts with my a bit softer side.

Coleman's 1990's; Part three - 1992

Since 1991 was such a short year in music (only 2 songs worth remembering, huh?) it seems that the 1992 was trying hard to make up for it and then some. I've just had a quick peek - ten songs and artists varying from Bel Canto to Laibach, from Alice in Chains to Leonard Cohen. Wow, I must have been taking a lot in that year. To think of it, it was still my first year at secondary school (the old system in Poland was completely different with 8 years of primary and 4 for secondary), still surrounded by fairly new people, and still clinging to a bunch of the old ones. And some of that bridging seems to be present in my music choice of that year. Let's see how many memories I'm going to be able to dig up then.
