What Does Mike Think? From the profound to the profane

Amon Amarth – Twilight of the Thunder God

Grab your spear and shield, it's time for some viking themed melodic death metal!

25Feb/100

Atheist – Unquestionable Presence

Unfortunately they didn't have all the songs uploaded, and I'm at work so I can't upload my own copy. Had to sub in some live versions, which aren't bad anyway. Enjoy

Nightingale – White Darkness

A taste of Evergrey

Evergrey are one of my long time favorites. Hailing from Sweden, they're a progressive/power metal group. So if you cringe at the growls of death metal, give this a listen, it may be more your speed.

Still in the Water is off of the Monday Morning Apocalypse album. Not one of their best albums in my opinion, but it's defiantly a good song.

The Great Deceiver is the song that originally got me into Evergrey in the first place. Recreation Day is one of their better albums.

Solitude Within is my favorite off of what I believe to be their best album, Solitude*Dominance*Tragedy.

Songs that are Awesome, pt2

Another asskicking for your ears.

This is currently one of my favorite songs, even though it kind of trails off after the first 2 minutes. Gojira is one of those bands that defiantly has their own distinct sound, and it's a good one.

Insomnium has always been a favorite of mine. I don't think they've ever made a bad song, and this is one of their best in my opinion.

My Dying Bride are the godfathers of Death/Doom Metal. This is one of their rare, fast(er) songs, although it does start out slow.

Songs that are awesome, pt1

You will listen to these, and you will like it!

This is some high quality Melodic Death/Gothenburg style metal right here. Not a lot of people know about Mercenary, which is surprising to me, since they kick a significant amount of ass.

Strapping Young Lad doing what they do best, playing loud and fast.

The best song off of Dark Tranquility's Fiction album, in my opinion.

You may thank me later.
