Another band my son is into: Turisas, a Viking Metal band from Finland.

They actually do a smashing cover of Boney M's Rasputin:

Demosthenes: Is that from the gifters movement?

Detta: Crappy old shorts and a tank top.  This is how I dress for work. Because my job is to get puked on.

Heh.  Hibria's vocalist reminds me of Rob Halford.

That just makes me want to dig out some old Judas Priest albums.

I hope you're happy, young man.

What next?  Triumph?  Zebra!?

My work here is done.

Time to take on the freeway. I'll probably be listening to Mott the Hoople.

Song: Like Callisto To A Star In Heaven
Artist: Trivium
Album: Shogun

I admit, when Trivium first hit the scene, I didn't think of them as much more than a band riding the screamo band wagon. But after their last 2 albums, I have become a full on fan and see them as the up and coming bearers of the heavy metal standard. I'm even supporting them when they hit Seattle in November.

Here is a commercial vid. They sound pretty much exactly like this live.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvquWIULIFA#noexternalembed

Here is a concert clip where they address their rather sub-par 2006 tour:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evsZXIMIRUA#noexternalembed

You get a glimpse of their lighthearted stage antics there. Lots of humor. They're just a tad tounge-in-cheek about the whole thing.

We're actually going to see them at the Hollywood House of Blues tomorrow night before driving up to see them in SF.

Nothing.  Brought the iPod with us Monday night and left it in the wife's car last night.  So I'm stuck working without it.
