Irontruth. Here's I Extremo's take on that tune. Dont know where you are located, but if yr near Germany/Denmark/Sweden and get a chance to see these guys, GO! They use electrified versions of traditional instruments and sing songs in the ancient languages.
Recently got turned on to them. I particularly enjoy the darker sounding songs, they have a nice ominous vibe to them and might actually employ them as mood music for some games.
This song is about a mountain troll proposing marriage to a young knight, promising wealth, land and weapons to conquer his enemies. The knight turns her down, at which the troll laments that her curse will never be lifted.
First heard them when they participated in the Swedish qualification for Eurovision.
Seeing as they're not horrible, they didn't qualify.

His drumming (and the crazyass video images) was what drew me into the Twisted family.

Thing I'm finding the hardest to adjust to in NYC: Just because Marquee Moon is playing in a bar doesn't mean the bar is cool.
Anyway, more Gong.

I'm not sure whether the band's called Tito or the album's called Tito, and am also unsure what relation it bears to the ex-Partisan commander and leader of Yugoslavia, if any.
.38 Special - Trooper With an Attitude. Amazing for Neo-Westerns.
Working on some writing, so shifting from band to band as I look for something I can currently work to.
Current choice is Three Days Grace. Just throwing together a random playlist of songs. Some of the included ones:
Get Out Alive
Let You Down
Animal I Have Become
I Hate (Everything About You)
The Good Life
Life Starts Now
One great city by the weaker thanks cranked up louder than the nasty exhaust fan of my double kilns pinging away as they heat up.
More Gong!

Listening to some good ol' fashioned crying baby in a subway omw to work. Good times, love the chorus!
