“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.”

A reader (and fellow Vile Faceless Minion) emailed me recently to express appreciation for my taste in music (!!!). He also mentioned in passing that his tastes tend more towards symphonic metal. Since I am nothing if not obliging toward my readers (yeah, OK, even I...

Buy their new album. NOW.

Can’t believe I’d never heard of these guys before today: DAYYYYYYUMM. That woman can SING. Reminds me a lot of Kobra (aka Brittany) Paige from KOBRA AND THE LOTUS. Another chick-fronted band with great music and killer vocals. In my opinion, there...
