Did you ever buy an album, listen to it a couple times, rate it mediocre, and then come back to it a few months later and decide that it's really, really good? That's how I feel about Funeral's From These Wounds.

It's a good day for Immortal in Iantown.

My list includes two Cat Stevens records and an album featuring a dude reading poems about hobbits. I wouldn't worry about manliness quotient. Do it.

My speech at your wedding is going to be a more-or-less exact recital of the lyrics to Keeper of the Seven Keys.

Despite all my rage, I find I am still just a rat. In a cage.

Holy crap. you pulled out October Rust. That takes me way back. Possibly a little too far.

The snow has fallen and raised this white mountain on which you will die and fade away forever.

Wow I can't believe it took me this long to tune into Dragonforce. All hail Guitar Hero. Need more Dragonforce.

What up? Any accessible nintendocore you think I can immerse myself in?

I think they only have 4 songs out. I found them through one of these If you like x you might also like y things but they also apparently have a song on Guitar Hero 3 which my roommates played constantly before they bought Rock Band.

I just picked up an Armored Saint record, along with Black Thunder, Screaming for Vengeance, Keeper of the Seven Keys part 2, and Blizzard of Ozz all on vinyl. Can't wait to go grab my record player.

Sometimes I just put on my black and yellow spandex and listen to a little Stryper.

If you haven't already done so, Old Man Gloom and Mouth of the Architect might be worth checking out.
