Pagan altar - Dance of the Druids

Images and Words - Dream Theater Well... sounds a bit like Air Supply with maybe a bit of rush, anyway it's not for me.

Powerslave - Iron Maiden

Electric Wizard - Let Us Prey

Heavy Lord - Gods of Doom

Bongripper - Worship

High on Fire - Surrounded by Thieves

High on fire - snakes for the divine

Today I listened to a CD made years ago by the only band I was ever in. It was fun ,but very silly and self indulgent, and not all that good unfortunately, but our friends would dance and have a great time. I want to be in a band, a true fact about me.

The Obsessed - The Church Within

My mind is on yard-work I need to do around the house, and it is on playing the bass.

Acid Witch, Witchtanic Hellucinations

Electric Wizard - Dopethrone

Solitude Aeturnus - Into The Depths Of Sorrow

The Sword - Apocryphon

Novembers Doom tunes on youtube

I like spinning sparkling fireworks that make a whistling sound, also i like big green cascading sparks that look like willow trees, but I'm just a small town kid.

Paradise Lost - Tragic Idol

Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time

Warlord - Best of Warlord

I am sure that I've done slight permanent damage to my neck slam dancing, and I've hurt the sole of my right foot contra dancing in bare feet, but from Metal... only hearing loss.

Lights Out by UFO

The Obsessed - The Church Within

Oh, look, a dark field against which to type, such a blessing! Thanks Yobo, I really enjoyed the tune in Dutch by Akelei. It makes me feel very cool and sophisticated to hear stuff in foreign languages. I'm sure the commercial pressure to sing in English is considerable, and I bet I'd tire of not knowing what the words meant if music only came in languages I didn't understand. For example nothing by Candlemass was sung in Swedish as far as I can tell, and that's a shame because I would kind of like to hear that. That song by Akelei has a kind of new age feel it seems to me, and there seems to be a strong current of new age running through a bunch of the doom (though not in other tunes from Yobo's post above). Maybe some would call it ambient, and maybe that's a more accurate term, but with pretty vocals instead of growling some of this "metal" would be suitable for background music while getting a pedicure in a spa. I don't necessarily mean for that to be a criticism, except in so much as it is scathing, but wonder what others think. What do you think? This morning I have listened to a lot of stuff on Youtube from The Gates of Slumber, and find it nearly fully awesome (the guitar player has a slight tendency to get a little noodley in a blues fashion, but it's tolerable). I dig the swords and sorcerers cover art. Best thread ever.
