In the hopes of being able to bring you a wider variety of metal again, I’m going to experiment with Vimeo.

This week’s entry is a class, Stargazer by Rainbow. I couldn’t embed this song via YouTube but ran into no issues embedding it via Vimeo. Hopefully it works for all of you. If not, let me know what issues you’re experiencing and I’ll see if I can fix it.
