“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Bang Your Head! – Winter Snowstorm Edition

by | Feb 9, 2013 | Uncategorized | 0 comments

Well, the Northeast just got hammered by its third major storm in about as many months, and right outside my window I can see about a foot of pristine, beautiful frozen snow… which is going to turn into hideous grey sludge before very long. Meanwhile, I’m snug and warm in my place, enjoying a nice cup of tea and listening to some truly awesome heavy metal.

So, with the aim of keeping our spirits up during probably the single most depressing month of the year, here’s my selection of the best heavy metal tracks to make you feel euphoric while chugging beer, scotch, or brandy- or, preferably, all three at once:

  1. ALESTORM – Midget Saw
  2. AMON AMARTH – The Pursuit of Vikings
  3. TURISAS – To Holmgard and Beyond
  4. FINTROLL – Trollhammeren
  5. HELLOWEEN – I Want Out (old-school power metal does NOT get any better than this)

Anyone got any other good heavy headbangable suggestions?
