Soundtracks To My Boredom
When your work requires countless hours sat in front
of a computer,
music becomes your best friend. A few of the songs
that have been
performing oral sex on my ears so far this year... |
| 1 | Shinedown
Son Of Sam
Rollickin' good rock. I defy anyone to not headbang to the chorus. |
| 2 | Rammstein
Ich Tu Dir Weh
The best thing to come out of Germany since... well, just the best thing to
come out of Germany. |
| 3 | Reuben
Blamethrower
Not everything made in England is shit, okay? |
| 4 | Pitchshifter
Slip
More UK-based awesomeness. Hurry up and re-form, guys! |
| 5 | Megadeth
44 Minutes
Like I need a reason to include Megadeth on any list... |
| 6 | Alestorm
Keelhauled
Only just recently discovered the fried gold that is Pirate Metal. |
| 7 | Fear Factory
Industrial Discipline
FF finally sound like they should again. |
| 8 | Scar Symmetry
Non-Human Era
Yeah, they ain't as good minus Christian in the vocals department, but
musically they've stepped right up. |
| 9 | Solution.45
Gravitational Lensing
And here's what Christian has been up to since leaving Scar Symmetry...
Well, this and about a million other little projects. |
| 10 | Sonic Team
Azure Blue World
From the Sonic Adventure soundtrack, which is perfect for the increasingly
pleasant weather. |
| 11 | Tyr
By the Sword in my Hand
C'mon, the lyrics go 'I will decimate and decapitate those who question the
sword!' Enough said. |
| 12 | Blues Saraceno
Blood Shot
A piece of incidental music used in the cartoon show Megas XLR and a few
other things. I could listen to that opening riff forever... |
| 13 | Motoi Sakuraba
The Divine Spirit of Language
Boss battle music from the game Star Ocean 3. Damn, the Japanese can do
epic power metal well.... |
| 14 | Machine Head
Aesthetics of Hate
Remember when MH were lumped in with the rest of nu metal? Funny how
things change. |
| 15 | Capcom
Volcanic Rim Stage
From Street Fighter IV's superb soundtrack, this is just a spectacular piece
of adrenaline pumping music with superb keyboard solos all over it. |
| 16 | Bloodbath
Mock the Cross
Mikael Akerfeldt does straight-up death metal. Results = ear-shredding as
you would expect. |
| 17 | Jack Wall
Tali's Theme
From the Mass Effect 2 soundtrack. Great piece of sci-fi epicness. |
| 18 | Static-X
I'm With Stupid
Complements a bad mood rather nicely. |
| 19 | Bleed From Within
Messiah
I feel Jesus would like this track. |
| 20 | Tetsuya Shibata
Sworn Through Swords
From the Devil May Cry 4 soundtrack. Great for fighting huge flaming
demon centaurs to. |
