Metal Monday–Leaves' Eyes
So as some of you know from my talking at cons, I was stationed in Germany for two years. One of the benefits of being overseas in Europe is you get exposed to things that don’t quite make it Stateside. This would be how I ended up finding out about previous Metal Monday “guest” Sabaton. …

Metal Monday–Swedecore!
So I’ve got a few songs that I play on steady rotation. Today’s Metal Monday is one of them–Sabaton’s “Carolus Rex.” I’m not saying the guy was crazy…but I think the king was a little crazy. Not George III mad, but when you think that you’re taking orders directly from heaven? That might be a…

Metal Monday–A Little Lzzy
To say I’m a bit all over the place with my musical tastes is like saying Soylent Green may be a bit unethical as a long-term solution to planetary hunger.

Metal Monday 4
A little of a lesser known band this week. Jagpanzer’s Achilles: [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=On3970mT2tA&w=560&h=315] Achilles seems to be a pretty big staple in the metal world.

Metal Monday Part Deux
Welcome to the 2nd Metal Monday. Today’s offering is Avenged Sevenfold’s “Hail to the King.” In addition to always getting me in the mood to write, this song makes me think of Joffrey from Game of Thrones. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DelhLppPSxY&w=560&h=315]

Two things…
First, let Metal Monday Begin! The inaugural song? “No Leaf Clover” by Metallica. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fd9ohpDDCRU&w=420&h=315] Second, “Pandora’s Memories” is free today.

Song of the Day–The Show Must Go On
So I will say my favorite version of the Queen song “The Show Must Go On” is the Elton John + Queen variant. That being said, Celine Dion and Lindsey Stirling are giving it a run for its money. Edit: However, as the comments show, there is a strong advocacy for the Moulin Rouge version:
