Enslaved – Thoughts Like Hammers

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVMWXZC-_L8

And now we've come to the end of my week. Thanks for letting me reflect, everyone. This is my most recent album purchase and I became addicted from the opening riff of this song, which opens the album Riitiir, they're most recent release. I really need to explore their back catalog. This is a pretty great mix of the stuff I like about heavy metal. There's the growl and the clean vocals, excellent guitar work, an obvious passion for what they're playing/singing about, and norse mythology related lyrics (always a good source for this kind of music.)

Running Wild – Under Jolly Roger

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KABbjTQDLdk

Now that we've gone through how I got here, I'm going to spend the weekend playing things I think are awesome. This video is great because its extremely obvious that, even after 25 years (to that point in 2002. They're still going, although they did split up for a bit in 2009) these guys are clearly still having a blast singing about pirates. This makes for great driving music, by the way.
