In The Playlist This Week...

One thing that we haven't shared quite much of is what has been on our playlist. The sounds that roll out of the office go from classical instrumentation to all out war with thrashen'd black metal. To us its all about the mood and the mindset in which we have to get things done. Here are a few choices cuts from this week's playlist in no particular order with Voodoo Johnson, Scum, Dwight Yoakam, Avail and Rose Tattoo

Periodic Table of Metal

Can vikings, thrashers and nerds all coexist? We highly doubt this could happen outside of an online community due to the nerds not being hold up a sword that isn't plastic and yelling "lightning bolt" during their live action role playing, but who knows. When it comes to science and fact, heavy metal should never be denied its heir to the throne in the universe. Today we can celebrate this with a poster print showcasing many bands that make up the periodic table of metal. We know the fellas in Amon Amarth would be proud and are toasting their goblets to Odin and Alchemy as we speak. Long live riffage, howling vocals and the glorious metal to charge into battle with!

SCUM - Equal Parts Amen, Emperor & Turbonegro

When I picked up this side project cd a few years back I had an inkling of how good it might be and then on first listen I was absolutely blown away. With equal parts Amen, Zyklon & Turbonegro expectations were high and knowing that the collective could either go Black Metal with its infamous drummer Faust and shredders Samoth and Cosmocrator or would they go the punk route with Casey Chaos and Happy Tom in the ranks, but damn if they didn't straddle the fine line and make something completely their own. If you don't already have this album, what the hell are you waiting for? This is one of those side projects which needs to have the next chapter come to life.
