Ensiferum - From Afar 2009

kinda stumbled on this earlier this evening. when did iron come out? 2004? that shit was my jam. in 2004.

but if you wake up and go, 'fuck it, im alex pace today', enjoy the noodling folksy viking power metal, because its fucking awesome.

its like a mix of dragonforce and something wild-children of bodom, with wankier lyrics.

Kronos - Colossal Titan Strife 2004

holy fuuuck sorry this didnt make it up earlier. this album is one of death metal's crowning achievements. its goddamn flawless and noodly but not too noodly, and all the instruments are perfect. theres a shit ton of videos of them playing all these in the studio too and theres a shit ton of stuff going on. thank the french for gorod and kronos; death metal would fucking suck without them and saprogenic.

hope this link works...

OH GAAAAAHD in high school i used to blast submission right at 1:31 to anyone that walked up to my car and then start thrashing around a ton. i got so much ass.
