That's awesome. Glad you enjoyed them, Alex! I like CHON because it's kind of funky and groovy. That song from Plini is haunting in a really pretty way. Also, Selenium Forest is a great name for a song. Set Afire and Move Along Home are also great songs and I like how you desribed them.

Lol, no harm done, I knew the power metal wouldn't jive as well for you. I kind of lied in the first part of the blog when I said there was a variety of genres. There was in the first part but the second part was mostly power metal.
When I first made my list of songs there was mostly progressive death metal, thrash, black, etc. I had some older Mastodon stuff that was super nasty, some Meshuggah, Death, Cynic (which you introduced me to earlier in the year), Hellcannon, and some other stuff. When I decided to redo the list and cut out the heavist stuff to make it more palletable I ended up leaving the interesting progressive stuff out and a lot of power metal filled the void. I know you've definitely listened to all the bands I mentioned above but have you heard from Hellcannon before? It's a newer thrash band of kids from New York. Nothing progressive and no trends, just brutal evil old school thrash. I'm not sure what their newest album is like but their album "Infected With Violence" is really satisfying if you're feeling thrashy.

Thanks Matt! I went and generated a doge meme just to fit this situation, it'll make more sense if you see the comment I left you on the other music blog lol.

Glad you enjoyed the list Joe! I like the slower stuff from The Sword as well. This year I've been getting into slightly more doomy sounding rock and metal. Thrash and death are usually where I'm always at, so it's been a nice change of pace this year.

When I read this I immediately thought of a doge meme with the dog saying, "Many music. Such song. Very listen. Wow!". I like doge memes though so they're the first thing that comes to mind in most situations for me lol.

That song is from the newest Real Estate album called Atlas, and that entire album is incredible. I love every song on that thing, it's a beautiful piece of work.

I love that too. You're going to like that whole album I bet. The album is called Dive, the whole thing is on youtube if you would like to see more of it. Back when I was playing Red Dead Redemption for the first time I would play that whole Tycho album on a loop while I played and it felt like it set up the perfect atmosphere for some reason.
