I'm sure that there's only one person on this site (me) who cares about this but Lich King (the greatest thrash metal band ever) has revealed their 3rd album.
Like I said, I'm sure no one cares but I am so excited. This things gonna be fucking awesome. I'll actually have to buy the cd rather than purchase it off of iTunes because that artwork is so cool.
I know I made a blog about this band a long time ago but I think I deleted it, so in case anyone wants to hear how they sound I'll put some links to a few songs.
A Storm of Swords - This one is going to be on this third album. It's based off a series of books that I've never read by George R.R. Martin.
Thrash Resurgence Lich King Reavers - Probably my favorite song but it's really hard to choose since I like them all.
And in case you didn't see my previous blog about this band I guess I should mention they're a little less serious than most metal bands, which is nice. I can only handle so much seriousness. Here is a few examples of that.
Black Metal Sucks - If you like black metal than I suggest you don't listen.
Mascot War - Read the lyrics. It's a song about a war between cereal and metal mascots. Yeah.
Attack of the Wrath of the War of the Death of the Strike of the Sword of the Blood of the Beast - The name of this song is longer than the link. Again, read the lyrics.
If you want to hear some songs from the new album go to their
myspace. It has the songs Lich King 3 (World Gone Dead), Act of War, Terror Consumes and A Storm of Swords which I believe will all be on the newest album.
Band description from their myspace:
The saga of Lich King
Once upon a time, Thor and He-Man were fighting. He-Man swung his sword of power and Thor met it with Mjolnir, his mighty hammer. The resulting lightningstorm killed them both, but from the blood and ozone and blackened bits of bone a new band was born. This would be the greatest thrash metal band in history. This is their tale. Then they wrote some songs and stuff, casting their spell upon the altar of steel. Gary Holt took a listen and his ears burst into flame. Billy Milano began weeping as he listened, and he threw himself from a bridge in despair. Jeff Hanneman listened to BUT ONE Lich King song and shook his head, then broke his guitar over one knee. He walked into a Staples and began filling out an application.
Sadly, the fans of Lich King are few, as the music is so ferocious and primal that it boils the brain and sends a potential listener to valhalla with but a few tasty riffs. The lesson to be learned is that listening to Lich King will kill you... so don't do it.
I don't think I'm going to delete this blog (but I won't post it in the forums because I got enough shit last time) so maybe, just maybe Lich King will get a couple of more fans.
And here is something I drew last night.
