“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.”

Damn but that is a good album

VOLBEAT, of course, are known for this sort of thing- great catchy well-crafted songs with powerful, uplifting lyrics. See also:

    Never heard of them before last year when I got Sirius. Octane plays the crap out of them. Love catchy rockabilly crossed with metal. Totally agree: new album is great.

    Whatcha think of Amity Affliction?

      Yeah, I came across VOLBEAT when they opened for MEGADETH back at Gigantour a few years back, and I've been hooked ever since. This new album is much better than the previous one- better songs, better lyrics, better musicianship overall.

      Never actually heard of Amity Affliction up until now. Got any specific song recommendations? I'll check 'em out.

      I rather like their new album. Pittsburgh and Take The Weather With Me are the two best.

    Damn you. Short of John Ringo you've gotten me hooked on more damn bands.

    FWIW – 21 pilots that was recently mentioned at Vox's is worth a listen.
