This is a song that I was obsessed with a few months ago. It’s a fantastic song by a band called Elbow and it’s called Ground for Divorce. It’s kind of grungy bluesy awesome, if you can understand that. I got into it when I was going through a huge phase of garage blues/rock. Stuff like The Black Keys and The White Stripes. Check out the rest of the album The Seldom Seen Kid. It’s amazing.

The first song in my triumphant return to the world of posting music for your ears to enjoy is a song by the magnificent band Stars of the Lid from their album … And the Refinement of Their Decline. It’s one of those things, you know, Stars of the Lid… And Their Refinement of the Decline. Yep. I say things twice. The song is Dungtitled in A Major. Anyway, they’re an amazing drone, post-rock ambient kinda awesome thing. I highly recommend the album.

I want this bedroom so bad. I might build one when I get a house.

So the final song is pretty awesome. It’s not particularly brutal, but it’s by a band that most metalheads love, (at least, based on my going to a forum populated by exclusive elitist metalheads) Type O Negative. The singer, Peter Steele sadly passed away this year, which was a sad day for metal. I think it hit me harder than Dio, which was a huge loss, so you know how much this means to me. This is the song Love You to Death which is from the album October Rust. It (like all their songs) is a gothic metal song, so it’s pretty depressing. You should like it anyway.

I wish this included the awesome two minutes intro song, Oculus ex Inferni that starts off the album Paradise Lost (this is the second song, Set the World on Fire (The Lie of Lies)) by the fantastic band Symphony X. One of the first metal bands I ever got into, a friend ordered a CD from the U.S., for me and I’ve loved them ever since. They are a bunch of amazingly talented dudes, and their music is simply brilliant. Enjoy!

Yeah, so I just realised maybe this won’t be as inaccessible or brutal as I thought, especially considering this is a Kamelot song. (and the next one is likely to be Symphony X) But whatever, I enjoy this stuff, regardless of what most ‘metalhead’ people think (though, as far as I remember, even people who are all over the death and black metal scenes enjoy Kamelot, partly because of the amazing singer, Khan. Classically trained, you know). This is the song Rule the World, and it pretty much describes how I feel on a daily basis.

So, this may be pretty stock standard power/traditional metal, but I have a strange liking for this song. I imagine it to be a sort of nostalgia, since I read a really good series of books (which I was given by a person who was once very dear to me, and which I’ve subsequently forgotten the name of) while listening to this song. It’s Mindtraveller by the band Falconer (who had one vocalist, got rid of him, got another one who wasn’t nearly as good, so they got the original one back. Go figure) and while it isn’t the best example of anything, it’s a song quite dear to my heart. Whatever. You might like it.

I thought I’d mix it up a little by showing you some Swiss Celtic Folk Metal. Yeah. That’s what I said. They apparently sing in a language that is some sort of weird ancient Celtic dialect from a group that originated in what is now Switzerland. Whatever they do, Eluveitie play some pretty awesome folk-y melodeath type stuff, so you should listen to it. This is the song Your Gaulish War from the album Spirit (as far as I remember) so you should check that out. GO GO GO!

So this song is by a band named Demilich who are pretty damn awesome. As soon as you hear the vocals, you might die. I don’t know if they’ve been altered (they must have, no way a person can growl/gurgle-almost that deep) but they’re fucking brutal. This is the song (Within) The Chamber of Whispering Eyes and is from some album. I can’t remember (foobar won’t tell me. It’s being a dick) but you can download all their stuff from their website. FOR FREE! Now you have no excuse.

helloholahello:

so unbelieveably true

OH GOD YES. I laughed a lot at this.

Yay! A song that combines my love of games with a love of music. Also, it’s kind of metal-y and industrial. Which is cool, because that’s what I decided to do this time. So here we go. Originally composed by Frank Klepacki this is a song cover/remake by a dude named Prince of Darkness. It’s the song Hell March. Probably one of the best video game covers/remixes I’ve ever heard. It’s awesome. So is everything else Frank Klepacki does. So get on it.

This is a song that’s kind of like the last. Kind of. The bands are similar, in that they’re both good, and both EBM, industrial stuff. They kind of sound the same, I guess. But it’s cool. This is Grendel and this is a stellar song. It’s called Remnants and should make you want to gothrave your pants off. Your studded, leathery pants.
