It’s Halloween Eve … which means it’s time for more Type O Negative.
Next week, a review of Pelican’s “What We All Come To Need” and an interview with Dallas Toler-Wade of Nile. And probably some random musings as well. So there.
Happy Halloween.
Metal Mood Stabilizer for Halloween: “Black No. 1″
Metal Mood Stabilizer Song of the Day: Ahab, “The Hunt”
“To the last, I grapple with thee; from Hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake, I spit my last breath at thee.” – from “Moby Dick”
Today, I give you Ahab. Nautical doom metal from Germany. “The Hunt” is from “The Call of the Wretched Sea,” the band’s horrifyingly beautiful concept album based on [...]
Metal Mood Stabilizer Song of the Day: Pelican, “A Delicate Sense of Balance”
It’s the weekend and it’s been a long, stressful week. Time to chill out.
This will help. It’s not broootal … but that’s all right. It’s good to relax sometimes. Besides, Pelican are awesome and put on one hell of a great live show.
By the way, Pelican have a new album, “What We All Come To [...]
Metal Mood Stabilizer Song of the Day: In Flames “Colony”
Since I’m giving away tix to see In Flames next month in Louisville, it seemed like a good time to show off the band’s live skills, with a live performance of “Colony.”
Look here to find out how to win the tickets.
Metal Mood Stabilizer Song of the Day: Candlemass “The Well of Souls”
I first heard this song in 1987 or 1988 on a local college radio station’s late-night metal show. Although that was over 20 years ago (I’m dating myself, aren’t I?), the song hasn’t lost its evil impact.
Enjoy.
Metal Mood Stabilizer Song of (Independence) Day: Twisted Sister: “We’re Not Gonna Take It”
Tomorrow is the 4th of July here in the U.S. of A. So what better way to say, “Ha, we’re free, so stick that in your pipe and smoke it, King George III,” than with the video for Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It.”
You love Twisted Sister, so stop pretending otherwise. Play it loud and [...]
Metal Mood Stabilizer Song of the Day #4: Cannabis Corpse, “Mummified In Bong Water”
A truly fantastic song from a killer band. But remember: Drugs are bad. Just Say No, kids.
Metal Mood Stabilizer Song of the Day #3: Dimmu Borgir: “Progenies of the Great Apocalypse”
Misanthropy never tasted so sweet. The footage comes from Dimmu’s “Invaluable Darkness” DVD.
Enjoy.
Metal Mood Stabilizer Song of the Day #2: “Disciple’s Libration: Lost in the Nine Worlds” by Blut Aus Nord
Another great song to cure your workaday boredom and frustration, courtesy of France’s Blut Aus Nord. Enjoy
