“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.”

“Tears of the Dragon”

I listened to this classic BRUCE DICKINSON track for the first time in what felt like an eternity yesterday, and I have to say, it’s still as fresh and poignant and beautifully executed as it was back when it was first released, waaaaaaaay back in 1994: His...

“Eye of the storm”

No, not the John Ringo book- the song that inspired the title for the book, by an outfit called CRUXSHADOWS: I actually cottoned on to this one thanks to reader and friend LastRedoubt, who pointed out the link between the song title and John Ringo’s book, in a...

Their first and last great album

It is always good to get reacquainted from time to time with those lost classic albums that you haven’t listened to properly in like years- particularly when they involve some of your favourite singers and musicians collaborating on “side projects”...

Damn you, Vox

As you know, I am an avid reader of Vox Day- he is, after all, the Supreme Dark Overlord of our delightful little Evil Legion of Evil, and the supreme commander of the Vile Faceless Minions. So when he posts something, I read it. You don’t have to agree with...

Songs of glory

Nothing serious to see here- other than some serious headbanging: (That song is catchier than herpes. I’m surprised the CDC hasn’t jumped on the banned-wagon for it yet.) And let’s not forget the girls- I am nothing if not fair-minded,...

“The Last Stand”

SABATON’s latest album is finally out, and it is indeed very damn good. I find it difficult to choose the “best” track off the whole thing, but if I were pressed, I would probably pick the title track: It’s not often that you hear a metal band-...

The operator’s anthem

Normally, I absolutely LOATHE rap. I do not consider hip-hop to be “music”- in my arrogant opinion, for something to be considered musical, it must actually be bearable to the human ear. Hip-hop and rap and most forms of similar music cause me to...

Trigger warning

In that I’m warning you that I’m about to play a really great death metal song by IN FLAMES. See what I did there? Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)...

Grand Magus

If you are a fan of good old-fashioned hard rock and heavy metal with an epic feel to it- I’m talking the likes of IRON MAIDEN, JUDAS PRIEST, SAXON, DIO, and MANOWAR- then I have just the band for you: GRAND MAGUS first came to my attention via probably my...
