Song of the Day

Neon Night, “Overdose,” from Neon Night (Angel, 1987)

A brightly shining star of (semi-)straightforward, traditional heavy metal.

In Flames, “The Quiet Place,” from Soundtrack to Your Escape (Nuclear Blast, 2004)

Well, it's really not that quiet...

Oliver Magnum, “Trapped,” from Oliver Magnum (New Renaissance, 1989)

An obscure gem of slightly thrashy, slightly progressive metal...

Fader Friend, “I'm Still Waiting,” from Gloom (Self-Released, 2014)

Hazy, grunge-tinged emo... but "prettier."

Mightyfew, “Both Shoulders,” from Cinema (Rage of Achilles, 2002)

These Deftones-esque Australians flew way under the radar.

Puddle Splasher, “You Will,” from Poor Planning (Black Numbers, 2014)

Another Friday, another catchy as hell Song of the Day.

Bohica, “Bitter,” from Wait Here (Local Colour, 2014)

Another morose "post-pop-punk" act from the UK that's worth a listen...

Young Adults, “Impression,” from 2010 Demo (Self-Released, 2010)

So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, good night...

Red Pill Down, “Bound,” from Paradigms Lost (Self-Released, 2003)

Good ol' nu(-ish)-metal.

Society Sucker, “Burdened,” from Society Sucker (Get This Right, 2014)

"No escape, no parole..."

Maudlin of the Well, “Undine and Underwater Flowers,” from My Fruit Psychobells... (Dark Symphonies, 1999)

Five minutes of flawless, hypnotic beauty followed by, well... other stuff.

Mad Dog, “Johnny Cyclops,” from Mad Dog (Stud, 1987)

How could you pass on that album cover?

Kodiak, “Sinking Like a Rock” (2005)

Sinking like a rock that rocks.

Hobbs' Angel of Death, “Satan's Crusade,” from Hobbs' Angel of Death (Steamhammer, 1988)

Aggressive, in your face thrash... just ignore the lyrics, eh?

Pantera, “We'll Meet Again,” from Power Metal (Metal Magic, 1988)

Stop lying, you know it rules...

Shades Apart, “September Burns,” from Save It (Revelation, 1995)

Just another New Jersey band that always deserved more love...

Bullet Lavolta, “Rails,” from Swandive (RCA, 1991)

More than just any old "alternative rock band."

Wait, Stone & Sure, “When the Bones are Clean” (2013)

Morose melodic metal from ex-Fall of the Leafe members.
