Horrible Histories

I'm really getting into the humour thing recently.

Check out these mock docs from Britain.

Moonspell

Moonspell, a Gothic Metal band from Portugal, really are the best band in the world. Although I fluctuate between these guys and Lacrimosa, I always come back to Moonspell. After not listening to them for a while (6 months or so), I'm still astounded at the intricacy in their music, the varying levels of intensity, the skill with which they perform, and the unrelenting talent in their songwriting. Always amazes me. Never gets old.

The album Memorial is one of their lesser known (or less popular perhaps) albums, but one of my favourites. Please have a listen and enjoy!

Comedy is generally not my thing but this guy is funny.

Amon Amarth - "Twilight of the Thunder God"

Awesome!

Vegan Black Metal Chef Episode 4 - Hail Seitan

For those of you who dare not to watch this due to squeamishness regarding things having to do with 'satan' - know this.... its humour, so lighten up.

Amber Asylum

Amber Asylum does one of the best covers of Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath ever! They're not big on videos, so I've just pulled a fan video, but its good for a listen.



Also, check out The Great Valerio II from Still Point, Bitter River from Bitter River, and Could You from Songs of Sex and Death.

Really beautiful music to listen to while creating.

....there's no escaping the Asylum, and no reason you'd want to.~Amber Asylum~
