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:

Most Kvlt Candidate Ever
Here in Minnesota we periodically elect professional wrestlers and dogs to political officer. In Norway they elect reluctant members of black metal bands:
Black metal figurehead Glyve “Fenriz” Nagell now has another job in addition to being one half of Darkthrone: he’s a backup representative for his local town council in Kolbotn, Norway. In a new interview with Clyrvnt, Fenriz discusses how he was involuntarily elected to his new political position. “Basically, they called and asked if I wanted to be on the list [of backup representatives]. I said yeah, thinking I would be like 18th on the list and I wouldn’t really have to do anything,” he said. “My campaign was a picture of me holding my cat saying, ‘Please don’t vote for me.’ But people just went nuts. After the election, the boss called me and told me I was a representative. I wasn’t too pleased, and I’m not too pleased about it. It’s boring. There’s not a lot of money in that, either, I can tell you!”
It appears that he has a good attitude towards the position in nothing that he’s not pleased to be elected to it and that it’s boring.
Monday Metal: Bärsärkagång by Raubtier
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.
Monday Metal: Wasted Years by Iron Maiden
This week we’re listening to some old school Maiden. While this song is much better than Rockets and Bombs The Star Spangled Banner, nobody will flip their shit if you don’t stand while this is playing.
Monday Metal: Metsamies by Korpiklaani
I’m feeling like listening to some folk metal this week so we’re going with Koriklaani.
Monday Metal: Call Me by PAIN
This week we’ll be listening to Call Me by PAIN. Judging by the music video I assume this band is one of Doctor Rockzo’s side projects because there is a ton of co-co-co-cocaine, baby!
Monday Metal: Madness at the Core of Time by GWAR
Monday Metal: Universal Deathsquad by Epica
Monday Metal: My God-Given Right by Helloween
Monday Metal: All Souls Night by Triddana
This week we’re listening to a band that I would describe as a synthesis of power and folk metal.
