Case in point: one of the keywords that led someone to this site today is “fuck me while i shit.” WTF…
If that turns you on, well, I hope you have an open-minded partner.

Back to blogging after a long break
Posted in Management issues with tags gamertag, guitar hero III, Manowar, metallizer, metallizer 666, xbox 360 on December 22, 2008 by MetallizerSorry for the lack of posts in December folks, I had to grade a ton of papers–and I got my Christmas present early, a Xbox 360 with Guitar Hero III. Man, my fingers hurt now!!! You can find me on Xbox Live; my gamertag is “Metallizer 666”; cheesy, I know. But it’s no secret that heavy metal is all about cheesy stuff, as Manowar gloriously proves year after year:
Anyway, now that the madness has passed, I’m back to posting on a regular basis.
Coming soon:
–An exclusive interview with Moloch from Melechesh on heavy metal and diversity;
–My top 10 CDs of 2008;
–A new section of the website called “Bookshelf” with book reviews on heavy metal, atheism, and other stuff;

Oh, and Happy Holiday/Winter Solstice! (No Merry Christmas here, punks!)
Kill With Power! …and other powerful stuff on Bloody Roots this week
Posted in Bands, Bloody Roots, Sirius Hard Attack, Sirius Liquid Metal, SiriusXM Liquid Metal with tags Bloody Roots, Hail to England, Ian Christie, Manowar, Power Metal, Warriors of the World on December 12, 2008 by MetallizerHonestly, I have no idea if they’ll play “Kill With Power” by Manowar on Bloody Roots this week. What I do know however, is that this week is about Power Metal. Dragonforce, Lost Horizon, Saxon, Rhapsody of Fire, Sonata Acrica, Battlelore, Kamelot and, yes, MANOWAR!
Bloody Roots, the one history lesson you don’t want to miss, because it’s all about metal and Ian Christie is at the helm, is on SiriusXM Liquid Metal Channel 27/42):

My favorite Manowar album is by far “Hail to England,” but I have to confess a weak spot for “Warriors of the World.”
That last album is very much Manowar in its pompous style, but the historical context is important to appreciate it. Written in reaction to 9/11, it is a very nationalistic album. Yes, nationalistic. Americans think they’re patriotic and the rest of the world is nationalistic. IT’S THE SAME FUCKING THING. Nationalism = patriotism.
However the flags on the album art do not make sense.
You have NATO flags, but also Brazil’s. So to me it suggests that while the inspiration is 9/11, this is about Manowar’s fans and their reaction to 9/11 rather than a literal “Call to Arms” to invade the Middle East. What do you guys think?
Side note: the first music file I ever bought was from Manowar’ website, directly and without intermediary. At that time, paying for mp3s–let alone subscribing to music services like Napster–seemed ridiculous. Still, I wanted to give them my money because I liked their stuff, and I especially appreciated their uncompromising attitude. Power to MANOWAR!
