It’s Monday morning and that means it’s time for another edition of Monday Metal. This week we’re listening to a power metal song titled Holier Than Thou by Burning Point:

This week we’re going to be listening to a German power metal band that I came across during my Sunday night search. I know nothing about this band other than they are German. With that said they sound pretty good and this music video is pretty cool:

I came across some good news yesterday, apparently Dethklok’s Dethalbum III will be released next week. This song is from the season three opener of Metalocalypse and it was a great way to get things started:

This week we’re going to be listening to an Australian power metal band named Black Majesty:

I decide this week was going to be dedicated to neoclassical metal since it’s a genre that doesn’t get enough attention. Neoclassical metal is metal that takes its inspiration from classical music. Unlike symphonic metal, which often relies on instruments used in classical music, neoclassical metal generally relies on traditional metal instruments played in a classical manner. A great example of this is the band Iron Mask and their song God Punishes, I Kill is perhaps one of their better examples of neoclassical metal:

This week we’re setting the nerd factor to 11 with Intergalactic Space Crusader by progressive metal band Star One (who specialize in songs based on science fiction stories):

Since it’s Labor Day I thought it would be appropriate to have a song that is related to work. This week’s entry into the Monday Metal series is Slave to the Grind by Skid Row:

This week on Monday Metal we’re going back to an earlier age, namely the 1988, with Running Wild:

Korpiklaani’s new album Manala is out and, as expected, is another great example of how great folk metal can be. To compound the good luck, Korpiklaani is also going to be playing at Station 4 in St. Paul, Minnesota on September 2^nd (I will be there). Anyhow, enjoy their newest music video, Rauta:

I didn’t have time to prepare a Monday Metal so I’m just going to post the last song that was playing on my iPod (still, it’s a pretty bad ass song):
