Metal Monday III

12/28/2015

Mmmmmm...another Metal Monday. One of my favorite days of the week, but made even better by the coming of snow and lifting of heavy weights. Good atmosphere, hard work, and rewarding food have put me in a tremendous mood, now enhanced by some earthquaking sounds. Song of the Week!? Take What I've Taken by American Head Charge! This is an American Metal band produced some phenomenal albums, crushing all others with its unique blend of industrial and electronic hints. I have been enthralled by this band for a long while, hailing back to my teenage years, but it only grows fonder with me in time.
As a double feature, I will showcase another linked video for a song that I have recently stumbled across. Truth Will Come Clear by Evocation. This is Swedish Death Metal, one of my favorite types, spawning from my appreciation of Amon Amarth and Omnium Gatherum. This should cover two broad spectrums, just going to show that Metal is more indepth and creative than most would give it credit. Enjoy the duo! Let it start your week off right, and help you usher in the New Year with much fervor!

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)
