I rarely listen to the original version of "For Whom the Bell Tolls". It may have been only the 2nd or 3rd time I've heard it. I like it :) though I'm much more used to the Moonsorrow cover. I tried to find it on YT, but I failed.

 

 

I find covers of these early Metallica songs really weird, and even not often satisfactory. It's just not the same.

At 3 mins in, the build up and pay off... Similar but even more epic towards the end. I love this song so much.

This is seriously epic. Thanks for sharing :) And another band goes to my "to explore further" file.

 

I mentioned Epica earlier on. Here's the song that used to be my most -played ever at some point. That recurring keyboard motiff is so catchy. Strange to think that it was inspired by a deadly hurricane.

I'm listening to the "Voyage to Eternity" album by Valhallore. This is so great! Who would have guessed that Australians, at the other end of the world, would sing about Vikings, and with such grandeur. "Augury of Death" has just begun.

I clicked "like" as soon as I saw that the post included Amon Amarth. You infected me :)

I didn't laugh. I liked the song you shared.

 

Now something from me. I didn't particularly like the added vocals at first, but then the song grew on me. Tbh. the instrumental (The last of the Wilds) is rather boring and repetitive so the vocals flesh it out and the Finnish language adds to the song's charm for me.

It makes me quite happy Gloryhammer is getting some love. I can't help but smile whenever they sing about things like undead unicorns or Hootsmen.

 

Not sure if this will be everyone's cup of tea since it is on the softer side, but I love that it exists at all: Music Inspired by the Life and Times of Scrooge by Tuomas Holopainen from Nightwish. It's a soundtrack to Don Rosa's The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck comic. I think that is all that needs to be said.

A Lifetime of Adventure - Tuomas Holopainen

Even though Nightwish is among my very favourite metal bands since 2004, I've only listened to Tuomas's album once. Time to catch up :) Thanks for sharing.

 

And this is one of my favourite B-sides from Nightwish:

Thanks for sharing. I'll look closer into that. I like this combination of industrial and metal.

 

 

Meanwhile, how about some Lovecraft influence

Actually, whilst I'm at it. Unleash The Archers are amazing and this song deserves to be heard by everyone.

So that's what a Viking metal funeral dirge sounds like. I like it :) The 2nd video is unavailable to me.

 

A little-known Nightwish B-side from me. A Micheal Nyman cover.

Ever been listening to music on youtube, and thought to yourself you'd like to listen to one specific song? So you look that song up, because you don't want to go look for it in your own music.., and... only covers exist apparently, with maybe some amateur live videos thrown in... given the covers might be really good, but still :( ...
