I have been invited by and
to join in the #metalweekend tag
1 - Choose 3 metal bands/artists
2 - Make a post including the #metalweekend tag.
Thats it! Nice and simple... I will add an extra element:
3 - I do like a backstory, so if you want to then feel free to add a little explaining your choice, or what you like about the band/song. But you don't need to if you don't want to.
The main aim is just to share some cool #Metal songs and who knows, you may introduce someone to their new favourite band!
My choices for this week:
1 - Turisas - The Varangian Way
Inspired by Detlev's Post, I picked out the 2nd Album from this Finnish Band who play a fantastic combination of Symphonic Metal and Folk Metal (think Power Metal with added Orchestras, Choirs and traditional folk instruments).
2 - Sepultura -Roots
I know this isn't their 'Best' album (Chaos AD gets that title) but this is my fave of all their releases. I can remember first watching the music video Roots Bloody Roots on MTV2 many years ago and being both shocked and intrigued at the same time!
3 - Andrew WK - I Get Wet
Is this Metal? Possibly not.
Are the lyrics predictable and slightly silly? Yep
Is it fun to listen to?
Hell Yes! Sometimes I want serious and thought provoking music to listen to, and sometimes I just want to Party Hard!
