What I’m Listening to Week of 11/12

Category: What I'm Listening to . . . |

Still fighting off illness, and the occasional hangover. I’ve been jumping around from disc to disc, sometimes only listening to a song or so before moving on to the next. Here’s what’s been in my CD player the past 7 days;

Manowar - Gods of War: I’ve yet to see these guys live and I really want to. “Black Wind, Fire & Steel” is probably my all time favorite. Or maybe “Guyana: Cult of the Damned”. These guys are the very definition of Heavy Metal.
Mastodon - Blood Mountain: “Colony of Birchmen” just kills! Heavy as hell, yet clean vocally & powerful to listen to.
Edison Glass - Time is Fiction: See my review. These guys are coming to town in a few weeks and I’ll be there. Melodic alt rock/indie. Great lyrics & nice textured guitars.
Municipal Waste - The Art of Partying: Saw these guys live a while back, and was very impressed with them onstage, and off. It’s great to see some quality Thrash type metal still being made.
Thyrfing - Thyrfing: Viking Metal. Large production values, great sound. Nice symphonic & folk influences.
Exodus - The Atrocity Exhibition: Exhibit A: I will probably do an all out review on this one as it freakin’ pummels. Oldschool thrash legends’ newest CD and they haven’t lost anything!

Ah well, that’s all I remember at this point. ‘Beowulf’ movie premiere tomorrow - which I’ll review of course.
