Last week I did a presentation on the chaotic nature of the market for an Austrian economics meet up. Included in my notes was Hordes of Chaos by Kreator. Yes, I like to include metal songs in my presentation notes. Although I primarily picked the song because it has the prerequisite word “chaos” in the title, I dig the song so it’s also this week’s Monday Metal entry:

I’m not in an overly serious mood so it’s time for some Gwar. This week we’ll listen to Let Us Slay, which is probably one of Gwar’s more “professionally” (relative to Gwar) produced music videos:

It’s Monday morning, which means it’s time for more metal:

It’s another Monday, which means another metal song to start off the week. I wasn’t sure what to post this week so I just looked at one of my playlists and selected the first song that came up on random play, which was The Clairvoyant by Iron Maiden (your randomly selected song was an Iron Maiden song, this week is looking to be a good one):

Between the corpse paint, opera trained vocalist, organ, and lack of taking themselves seriously there’s a lot to like about Powerwolf. I’m happy to say that the band is coming out with a new album this month and, if the music video they released from the album is any indicator, it’s going to kick ass. This week we’re starting off the week with Amen and Attack, the newest song by Powerwolf:

Amon Amarth released a new album last week titled Deceiver of the Gods. This album is based heavily on the mythology surrounding Loki, my favorite Norse god.

I don’t think I have to introduce Journey so here’s Separate Ways:

Considering the recent news I decided it would be best to post a song about the corruption in Washington DC. If you’re looking for a song with political content there is no better person to turn to than Dave Mustaine. Although he’s often annoying nobody can say he’s a bad guitarist or song writer, especially when it comes to music critical of the fascist state we now suffer under:

I’m back from vacation but didn’t have a lot of time to get new material written up. The music selection for this week was pretty much pulled a random (I did a search for Rhapsody of fire, a very bad ass power metal band, and posted the first song that came up). Anyways I have more material to get written so let’s get to the music:
