Stormwarrior

Axe and sworse in my handes
Decievers indaved these landes
A charge, their false heartes to kill
The calle of the gods to fulfill












Artist: Stormwarrior
Album(s): Stormwarrior (2002), Northern Rage (2004), Heading Northe (2008)
Genre: Power Metal

Stormwarrior has had the great honor of working with famous guitarist Kai Hansen throughout their discography. The Gamma Ray founder produced Stormwarrior's first two albums, as well as played guitar on some of the tracks. The group plays a very 80's German style of Power Metal, pulling heavy influences from Helloween and Running Wild. These guys are balls-to-the-walls heavy with riffs, and the guitarists perform insane solos. Vocals are powerful and commanding, as expected from a Power Metal band with Vikings as their main theme. If you don't enjoy Stormwarrior, you are not a man. And if you're already a woman, then... well... you're just a woman who doesn't like Stormwarrior, which means you need to go make me a sandwich.

Here's a video for you to enjoy while you're downloading these albums.

Eagles Of Death Metal


Now look it baby, you're just nineteen!
You got the flesh, That's gonna make me hot!

I love this album. I just listened to it again this morning for the first time in months and I remembered just how ridiculously awesome it is. If you are lame and do not listen to Eagles Of Death Metal (super lame), they are a stoner-y garage rock band from California with Josh Homme of Kyuss and Queens Of The Stone Age fame. Don't expect this (their second full-length) to sound like either of those bands though, because it doesn't. This is just no nonsense, balls-out, jangly, good-time, dirty rock music. The dirtiest. This is probably one the most fun records I own, and anyone should enjoy it.

By the way, if you wondering about the band's name, it came from when they were trying to get Josh Homme into death metal and played him some Vader. (I should probably upload some Vader, they are awesome and probably my favourite DM band) Anyway, Josh Homme said that Vader were kind of like "The Eagles of Death Metal". Josh Homme was then challenged to make an album that sounded like The Eagles crossed with death metal, and the band's first full-length was the result. The More You Know!
