Not being some elitist jerk here, not saying its bad or anything, but in my opinion that bottom one just doesn't classify as metal of any subgenre. Then again i'm pretty narrow minded about this stuff, because i love it:) Like i said, just my opinion.

Never been a Falconer fan(at all) but this song from the new album is pretty good.

Partially disturbing video warning.

Let's get in the mood for the 11/11/11 release of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim by watching the videos of the most frostbitten of bands.

Ridiculous video warning.

Nice one.

I was really hoping they might have covered the Benny Hill tune too though :)

**Gerbick** · 30-06-2011, 08:04 PM

Ace! Are they as silly live as in the vids?

**Donjonson** · 30-06-2011, 09:20 PM

It appears as if they are sillly and awesome in all their guises :)

From the ridiculous to the even more ridiculous. Manowar, kings of metal and dodgy jocks and chaps combos. Joey and Eric would never get away with that these days. I don't know how they did back then.

They got away with it because the naysayers were ordered to leave the hall.

Ooh, are they touring? I LOVED White Tomb, wasn't so taken with Mammal, but I'd still see them live.

They're playing at Damnation Fest in Leeds (Nov 5th). Not sure if they are doing other dates around the same time.

Another really good Irish band, Wreck of the Hesperus- album of the day on Roadburn website-

http://www.roadburn.com/2011/07/albu...t-rotting-out/

A great bunch of lads and a great bunch of tunes.
The metal scene has been festering away quite nicely out here on the periphery, good to see these people getting noticed :)

Thanks for that, just listening to a few of the tracks on Last.fm. Very good!

EDIT: It seems that the tracks on Last are not from the Irish WotH. Not bad whomever it was, but now I have to resort to listening to them on myspace.

EDIT 2: Ah, real WotH are class. DOOM!

A morning of blood and iron I leave you.

**Grailer_Diomede** · 05-07-2011, 06:03 PM

Here's a good ole pile of metal.

The Hurricane Season - Engel

In a Red Dress and Alone - Evans Blue

The Day the Rats Went to War - Warrel Dane

Walls of Innocence - Egypt Central

Just learned this to play it on Friday for my birfday gig :)

I'm sure we'll look pretty much identical to this, except in a little pub with minimal lighting
