I've been listening to Modest Mouse pretty much exclusively for the past several months and I have to say that Dramamine is a bloody great song. Teeth Like God's Shoeshine is also amazing.

The Witcher 3 OST is awesome in general. I've seen a translated version of this one here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMB92nmbGxk

Ladies of the Woods is another favorite, too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiyOajnJnTg


My two personal favorites are two tracks which are not part of the "official OST" because they're dynamic:

Forefather's Eve: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AtXx_8c4Wg


And (my overall favorite) the combat theme for White Orchad and Kaer Morhen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1x-wJlbf3g

Most (I'd like to say all but I think one or two aren't, not sure) of the songs from OST were made by Percival (the "traditional" branch of Percival Schuttenbach... they named their band after an character from Witcher saga, it's all connected ) years ago and only got a bit edited, the dynamic ones are usually made specifically for the game.
They're either actual ethnic Slavic music (I'd say 50-50 when it comes whether it's original Pagan or later Christianized versions) or based (you can see it straying from "originals" especially in the ones made for game) on it. Funilly enough the official classification is folk metal despite that sometimes their songs are literally just recorded versions of what existed for hundreds of years. They even perform those on period-accurate instruments on various Slavic Festivals and stuff...
Yeah, say what you want but back then we had the best music.

I am still waiting for the newest album of Percival. They already made East Slavs and Southern Slavs, now they're doing Western Slavs which means Poland.

Om - State of Non-Return

Ah, Blind Guardian live...nothing more moving than standing in that crowd.

Gods, yes. Hansi's the best at getting a crowd engaged that I've ever seen, the way he can create that magical atmosphere is like nothing else. Remember that one live performance of Valhalla where the crowd kept going for like three minutes after the song ended with no prompting and they just went along with it?

[Ghazkull]

That was Wacken 2012-13? I remember one at wacken were i was and we continued like 15 minutes after they had already left hte stage and then groups gathered on the way back to the tents and just continued until we went hoarse.

[Flying Dice]

Might have been, I don't remember where I got the recording from.

[Shook]

So you know that feeling where you, late in the evening, find a music so great that you don't want to go to bed because you'd have to stop listening to it (... barring the fact that some of you can fall asleep with sounds in your ears)? Well, i just had that feeling. Best part is that this musician has made all the albums free for download. :I

So I looked Monstercat up today because somebody on the internet said something like "Anything released on Monstercat is for scrubs with no taste"

So naturally I was a little curious

You now witness an important step on my journey of self-discovery

I am a scrub with no taste

And I love every fucking second of it

There's plenty of good stuff on Monstercat.

E: And yeah I just actually listened to that song and it's pretty great.

They paid in cash
I'm trying to keep up
but I can't find a steady pace~

I thought that there was something here
but there isn't a trace~

I thought that it was someone
but it's just another face~


Still one of my favorite albums ever. I've probably linked it before, but it's amazing <3

So when I'm undecided on what I want to listen to, I turn to this numbered list of artists/bands and let RANDOM.org choose what I listen to. Anyone got anything to add to this list?

[miauw62]

do the same but let random.org decide the post number in this thread

[tonnot98]

so I rolled and got 4989702 which takes me to page 199, http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=82547.msg4989702#msg4989702 and the first link there is this:

So there's this local folk-pop band, Wild Child, that's supposedly getting popular, according to my local newspapers, which totally wouldn't be biased.

so that works

It's all fun and games until you stumble upon Bulgarian NSBM.
