A sm\u00f6rg\u00e5sbord of bands and artists this time around.<\/p>\n

Finally picked up a Butthole Surfers<\/a> \"icon-external-link-12x12\" album—I’ve been meaning to do that since I saw them on an episode of Beavis and Butt-head<\/a> \"icon-external-link-12x12\" some time back.<\/p>\n

Protest the Hero<\/a> \"icon-external-link-12x12\" seems to be a pretty solid heavy metal band. On first listen, I was actually reminded of the sonic characteristics of Avenged Sevenfold<\/a> \"icon-external-link-12x12\", with the major difference being that the music is actually enjoyable to listen to. Too bad the Hot Topic<\/a> \"icon-external-link-12x12\" era of heavy metal doesn’t have clue what constitutes quality music—just give them lots of skull-imagery, and songs with contrived Halloween-style lyrics and redundant chugging guitar riffs.<\/p>\n

Also, major props to Haken<\/a> \"icon-external-link-12x12\" for working plenty of Gentle Giant<\/a> \"icon-external-link-12x12\" worship into their songs. The latter is such a criminally overlooked and underappreciated band; the former probably is too.<\/p>\n
