5-6-2012: Iron Fire - Enter Oblivion OJ/666

This is from the latest Iron Fire album and contains...a 6.  This is the album opener and probably one of the album's better tunes.  I really like their older stuff that Pandora puts no a basic repeat, but this thing was kind of a let down.

Again, no YouTube, so Spotify it is.

Iron Fire – Enter Oblivion OJ-666

5-5-2012: Domain - Five Way Switch

It doesn't get too much more obscure than this here in the US, folks!  I discovered these guys because at one point in time, Evidence One's singer Carsten "Lizard" Schulz sang for Domain.  Apparently, these guys are active and well.  This comes from what their 1991 album "Crack in the Wall", which is generally pretty solid.  Check that one out!  It's available on Spotify, so what the hell are you waiting for?

I can't even find this bad dog on YouTube, so you get the spotify link only.

Domain – Five Way Switch

5-4-2012: Stratovarius - 4th Reich

This is a great song from early Stratovarius, which is incredibly hit or miss at best.  I bought this album from the Missing Link on a gamble and like most of their early stuff, it's got great songs and some shit.  This is probably my favorite pre-Episode song though.  Enjoy!

05-03-2012: Rainbow - Kill The King

This was my introduction to Rainbow (via 8 track tape no less) and this is one of my top favorites from them.  This particular performance is pretty amazing.  I'll take old school Rainbow from the 70's over any of their later stuff anyday

5-3-2012: Warlock - Three Minute Warning

BrettRox got me into Warlock about a year ago.  I have had Triumph and Agony for a long time, but never really listened to it much.  Solo Doro is OK, but nothing like the older Warlock catalog!  This is the second track from Triumph and Agony, and one of the few metal songs I could find with a 3 in it!

5-2-2012: Disturbed - Two Worlds

OK, so it's a stupid little theme that I wanted to do, for every day of May, we'll do a numeric song that fits with that day.  This is a damn fine song from Disturbed's latest.  Disturbed is good shit, despite not really being "pure" metal, I get into these guys.

5-1-2012: Metallica - One

For May ONE, 2012, I give you the song that really broke Metallica out back in the late 80s.  I still love the infamous story of how fuckin Jethro Tull managed to win the first Hard Rock/Metal Performance Grammy award over And Justice For All.  WTF!?  Jethro Fucking Tull?!
