This week I’m going to go with something that tends to stir the pot. I consider Disturbed to be metal, which pisses a lot of metalheads off as they don’t believe Disturbed is true metal. Whatever. This is my blog and I get to make the rules. We’re listening to my favorite song by Disturbed, Meaning of Life:

I’m in the mood for some power metal (which isn’t surprising since I’m always in the mood for power metal). We’re going to listen to some Burning Point today because that’s what popped up on my phone when I set my power metal play list to shuffle:

Korpiklaani has a new album coming out and since they’re one of my favorite folk metal bands this has my excited. The band released the song Lempo as a preview and it kicks some major ass, which is why it’s this week’s Monday Metal pick:

Are you looking for some German power metal? You are? Then I have exactly what you’re looking for — Blind Guardian:

I’m feeling old school today and there’s aren’t many schools older than Grave Digger. This week we’re listening to Highland Farewell:

I haven’t posted any Middle Eastern metal in a while and I feel if I don’t do so soon I may lose my terrorist creds (because enjoying anything Middle Eastern in this country is basically the same as terrorism these days). To ensure I meet my quota I’m going to post a song from Orphaned Land. This song is a bit slower but does pick up the pace:

Nightwish is awesome. Nightwish has a new album coming out. So we’re listening to Nightwish this week:

What? You are expecting more? It was Valentine’s Day weekend. Be grateful I took a minute to even give you a single post.

This week we’re listening to another song from the genre I’ve mostly made up called history metal. Eluveitie’s album Helvetios is a concept album that covers the Gallic Wars from the side of the Helvetii. Since the Romans won the war the album isn’t exactly uplifting but it’s damn good nonetheless. The album is actually one of my favorites from Eluveitie and the title track is probably my favorite one on it:

Battle Beast, for those poor souls who don’t know, is a fairly new metal band that sounds like it came straight out of the ’80’s. The band recently came out with a new album titled Unholy Savior and it kicks ass. So this week’s song is pulled from that album. It’s may be one of the least metal songs on the album but I like it so you all get to listen to it:

It’s time again to combine history of metal. This week we’re listening to Romulus, Ex Deo’s song about one of the mythical founds of Rome (because Romans were so far up their own asses they had to make up an entire mythology surrounding the founding of their city). The only downside to this song is that it makes me want Ex Deo to make more music but that isn’t happening.
