20. Riverside…

Last year as I was driving around with the Bobs I discovered what I think is my most odd musical love, modern brutal death metal. I love metal and all the trimmings, but usually I find myself leaning towards the melodic sub-genres like power metal, progressive metal, traditional, etc, but for some reason I can’t get enough of brutal death. It’s like a strange love affair. At least that’s what I like to call it. I can’t figure out why I love it so much. In a strange way, it’s like my image of comfort food, the guitars…

10,000 Years

Why am I addicted to this song? Maybe it's a metal version of Amazing Grace? Maybe because it's catchy as all hell? Hell for a Christian metal/rock band?

...and Weak II

I learned that the singer for Riverside was involved with this band, I had to check them out. And considering they have a strange lineup of instruments, I figured they'd be interesting. They frickin rock!

24 Pills

A woman-fronted metal band that isn't all sweet and innocent, that's Amaran. This song isn't their best, but damn it's catchy and powerful.

Shape Of My Heart

My metal…

For some reason my scrobbler thing wasn't working. Now for some reason, it works again. Not sure why, but it's nice to have this back again!

And of course, I start things off with Blind Guardian!

Say what you want about Korn, whether they suck or not.

Gosh darnit!, "Thoughtless" is too damn catchy!

I must be the only metal fan who also listens to cowboy music!

I discovered today that Journey had released a new album this week. I literally got up from what I was doing and bought it. Well four hours after I learned this fact (I was doing homework).

Haven't listened to the entire thing yet. Yet the first song is frickin awesome. Epic and awesome! And the clips I've heard of the rest of the album sound fantastic. Can't wait to indulge myself!

Afroman Why am I listening to Afroman?!

July For Kings now.
