Sticking with the musical theme for a moment- there aren’t many songs that really get me choked up. But there are a few- and most of them have to do with pride, patriotism, and brotherhood. One of them is a song that every American knows the tune to and almost...

Our buddy LastRedoubt posted up some country music yesterday and mentioned in passing that I’m not exactly the genre’s biggest fan. He ain’t wrong about that- I am NOT a fan of listening to some berk wailing nasally to horribly tuned...

It’s the unofficial anthem of the South playing: I love that song- always have, from the very first time I heard it. It is a truly great anthem to the South and all that it stands for. Unlike quite a lot of foreigners who live in the northeast, I do not have...

I had the immense pleasure of going to see SABATON play live the other night as they tour North America in support of their (awesome) new album. Now, if you’ve never been to see a SABATON gig, and you like their music, you need to do yourself the favour of...

Symphonic-metal fans, like LastRedoubt, will probably appreciate this: That’s a single off their new album, Moonbathers, which despite the rather naff title is in fact not bad at all. I’m not yet convinced that it’s better than their previous...
