Desmond's Daily Offering - "Lost in the Headlights" by Pelican

What We All Come to NeedWhat can I say? Pelican rules and this song is full of bad to the bone, triumphant riffery. Who needs vocals when the thunder is brought like this? If you are not down with the almighty Pelican, I think it is time you get with the program.....\m/.....

Desmond's Daily Offering - "Lament of a Minstrel" by Falconer

Chapters From A Vale ForlornDid I ever tell you that Power Metal rules my Life? In my humble opinion, Falconer is one of the best on the scene these days. If you have not yet sampled the lovely tones of the Sweedish Power Metal Masters, I highly recommend that you pick up any one of the six fine offerings that they have delivered over the last 10 Years. With "Lament of a Minstrel," we find Falconer doing what they do best, transitioning from melodious and delicate folk metal to soaring and epic power metal. The cool thing about Falconer is that they love to tell stories. A good story always enhances the enjoyment of my listening experience. Check out some delicious riffery on this one right here......
