Metal Monday II

12/22/2015

Another Monday, which means more Metal! This time, I am going to include a bonus video included, like I had before I actually loaded songs directly. First, the song for the week will be White Palace by Omnium Gatherum. Now, I had the privilege to witness this group in concert, at a small venue in Kansas City, MO. It was beyond my expectations, and the best live performance I have seen to this day. However, I chose carefully for this week, seeing as its Christmas time and all. This track is slower and more in depth than some of the heavier stuff I could have selected.
Below, I will include the video for Rooms & Shadows by Swallow The Sun. This band has really surprised me with all of their releases. Since they have a new one, I thought it would be fitting to show it. They are Doom Metal, and I think the video shows that aspect deeply.
Enjoy the music and enjoy your holidays!

QUOTES I ADMIRE
"A wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and his own works dominate the landscape, is an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain." - from the Wilderness Act, 1964

"I owe my solitude to other people." - ALAN WATTS

“I think I could turn and live with the animals, they are so placid and self contained;
I stand and look at them long and long.
They do not sweat and whine about their condition;
They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins;
They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God;
Not one is dissatisfied-not one is demented with the mania of owning things;
Not one kneels to another, nor his kind that lived thousands of years ago;
Not one is responsible or industrious over the whole earth.”
― Walt Whitman

"In the ancient world, people placed heavy stones on the graves of the dead so their souls would not wander and inflict the living. I always thought this was simply the practice of superstitious and primitive people. But I was about to learn that the dead can hover on the edge of our vision with the density and luminosity of mist, and their claim on the earth can be as legitimate and tenacious as our own."

- Dave Robicheaux (In The Electric Mist With Confederate Dead)
