Are you ready for some cheesy power metal? I hope so because Hammerfall has dropped a new album.

Civil War, a power metal band that bases its songs off of history, released a new album. I’ve enjoyed it and actually think it’s better than the band’s previous two albums (which were pretty good in my opinion). As part of the album release the band released a music video for its song Tombstone, which is what we’re listening to this week:

Objectively speaking, the new Doom is hands down the best game to come out this year. In fact it’s the best game to have come out in the last several year. In addition to finely tuned gameplay, over the top levels of violence, and a wonderful arsenal of weaponry Doom also sports a solid soundtrack. This week’s Monday Metal entry is one of my favorite songs from Doom, BFG Division:

I feel like playing some power metal this week so we’re going to go with Dark Moor:

Do you want to hear some Bulgarian folk metal? No? Too bad. My blog, my rules.

This song pretty much sums up everything there is to sum up about metal and it’s beautiful:

This week we’re listening to a folk metal band from Belarus, Лютавер’е (Lutavierje if you romanize it). The band has a pretty unique sound to it that I’m really digging.

This week we’re going back to the 1990’s. Although the ’90’s were pretty abysmal as far as music goes, what with the introduction of grunge and other similarly shitty genres, there was some decent metal. White Zombie, for example, put out a lot of good sounds during that time period. One of my favorite songs from that bad is More Human Than Human:

This week we’re going to listen to a song from Raubtier’s new album. The lyrics are sung in Swedish but English subtitles are provided in the video and, frankly, you should be used to being unable to understand the lyrics of songs I post.
