Desmondo's Daily Offering - "The Reckoning" by Iced Earth

If you are not down with the Earth that is Iced, I must pray for your soul. This band is the ultimate Power Metal giant and if you love Metal and do not know them.....you, my friend have committed a great sin. Tim "Ripper" Owens has an absolutely ridiculous vocal range and he once again showcases his Banshee howl on "The Reckoning."

"Ripper" had recently parted ways with Judas Priest to become the front man for Iced Earh after original vocalist Rob Halford returned to the almighty warriors of Metal. Tim's first album with the band, The Glorious Burden (2003), is an examination of many aspects of warfare and military figures who have shaped the modern world. "The Reckoning" is indeed a masterpiece and one of the higlights from this album. The riffage runs deep and the vocals are pure Power Metal gloriosity. Please enjoy \m/

Professional + Robot = PROBOT

I know what you thinking....in fact, you don't even have to say anything and I can read your mind. Only the heinous things in life come to mind when you mention the word "Super-Group". But you must take a step back. and lay the evil attitude aside, for this is the only super group that contains the One, The Only, LEMMY.

I gotta give the props to Dave Grohol. Ya, know who would have thought that inside that little grungy-nirvana kid there lay this Rock N' Roll giant. Dave has not only created a beast with the Rock N' Roll giant Foo Fighters...but then throws it down with the PROBOT.

SO, I bid you adios! And trust that I will never leave you with anything from a Super-group (especially that of Scott-I'mawhineybuttdoucheweasel-Weiland), but in the rare case that I do....It will only be to "SHAKE YOUR BLOOD."

Holiday Update: June 13th, Day of S.O.D.!

Last night while having a few people over for a little cook out in the 100 degree weather, i put the old itunes on random....next thing I knew I was rockin out so hard and so were the others that iwas with. One in particular turned to me and said "Dude, I have not heard this song in forever...who is it?" And I had to chastise him with an angry tone "Its the S.O.D....The STORM TROOPERS OF DEATH"

Needless to say..the rest of the night we chanted "Speak English or Die" and "F*&% the Middle East" and then ripped our faces off to "March of the S.O.D." Therefore I hereby dub June 13th 2010 as S.O.D. Day! Seriously, I you have not listened to them in a while you need to crank it up!!
