Laby..... doesn't Puff Daddy (name at the time) use this at the beginning of his tribute to Biggie?  I'll be missing you?

Sounds really familiar.

I believe so.  It's also the theme song of Platoon.  It's been in a lot of movies and places.  It's a pretty popular song.

Yes. Agnus Dei is the vocal arrangement of Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings. It's incredibly popular, so I'm sure it's been used who knows how many times in contemporary stuff.

I've been absolutely diggin' Enigma recently. A very different sound, yet enjoyable. You may hate it, you may not.

Then in a similar vein, Sting. I dig his sound about 50% of the time.

Don't think I can embed this SMF.

Nothing amazing, but enjoyable and definitely different. I commend them for doing something with an accordian I can (sometimes) stand. Try the Wermland album (on the right) first.

Pardon if some of you have already heard this (they've all been in waffles recent articles)

Grand Magus - Heavy, plodding, awesome.

Darc Mind - recorded mid 90's, released 2006. Has that awesome 'classic' hip hop feel.

Okay. I CANNOT for the life of me get Crystal Castles out of my head and I CANNOT figure out why.

Do not dig their videos, do dig their music.

Mute Math - Spotlight. A catchy tune indeed. Best quality video is actually a drum cover... since it was in Twilight.

Chequerboard

Try 'Penny Black' or 'Ornithopter.'

I think his catch phrase sums it up best - "Antiquated Futurism"

I'm not gay or anything, but I really like the sound of this song and this guys voice. (This is a cover!)
HelloGoodbye - Oh, It is love.

I love Rebellion's 3 part history of the vikings. This is from the 3rd Album.
It's a nice blend of viking and power metal. Has a gritty sound without being annoying.

Two Steps From Hell is not a band, per se. They compose music that is used in theatrical trailers/scores. Intense, predictable, and symphonic - this music is guaranteed to make your life more epic.

Bluegrass Metallica by Iron Horse

Time for a periodic update.

2010 has been a pretty sweet year in metal/music in general. New albums by Pendulum, Grand Magus, Iron Maiden, Accept, Lordi, Heidevolk, and Blind Guardian.

Heidevolk (folk/viking metal, love the harmony on this)

Accept (is back, and their new singer is awesome)

Pendulum (new album: immersion. They've moved beyond drum and bass. I like the result)
