Heavy Metal is way fascist

Happy Constitution Day!

Raise your fucking hands.



Fancy invoking the spirit of the old gods? Soon they will become your gods... as sure as the night follows the day. Don't forget to raise your hands.

Hail.

I Am Them

Emperor's archetypical "I Am the Black Wizards" set to a darker number from the film Fantasia. Wonderfully poignant.

Show no fear or anxiety

Just in case you found yourself without ready access to Slayer today (ultra patriotic edition):

Beauty is fragile, and time eats at it

Or so imply Britain's trudging doom metal stalwarts My Dying Bride. The following single proved to be a more than worthy precursor to their excellent sophomore release Turn Loose the Swans. Try not to drown thyself in the melodrama.

Pop 'till you drop

A mighty catchy number from Portland's The Decemberists (coming to a college radio station near you). They sing about giant whales and shit... though NOT AT ALL LIKE IRON MAIDEN BECAUSE THEY DO IT IRONICALLY OK:



Tie him to a pole break his fingers to splinters.

Drill, Baby, Drill!

Cats foot iron claw
Neuro-surgeons scream for more
At paranoia's poison door.
Twenty first century schizoid man.

Blood rack barbed wire
Polititians funeral pyre
Innocents raped with napalm fire
Twenty first century schizoid man.

Death seed blind man's greed
Poets starving children bleed
Nothing he's got he really needs
Twenty first century schizoid man.

A mark, a yen, a buck or a pound

And now a word on international politics, about, y'know, what makes the world turn.
