The Stuff That Randomly Appears On iTunes

Today I got thrown back into middle school for like 15 minutes. I had my iTunes on shuffle like I always do (right now I'm playing "Fuel for Hatred" Satiyricon. I'll insert whatever song comes next when that happens later in this post) and Atreyu popped up. For a hot pocket's sake, the last time I even had a conversation about them was with my old volleyball teammate/friend Jerson. (The next song turned out to be Mitch Hedberg.) The song in question that came up was "Ex's and Oh's." I'll be real for a moment, that intro is still one of my favorite solo intros ever written.

"The Remembrance Ballad" also came up.

And so did "Demonology and a Heartache."

Label them whatever you want to (most go with emo and screamo), I have to admit I still find them catchy. The Crimson was the only album by them that stuck onto me. They're kinda like Bleeding Through, they just lost me on their later albums. One thing that I thought was cool that not many bands do, is that two of their singles had music videos that created their own two part story. Of the two songs, I think "Kill to Believe" is the better one.(it is posted below)

This part two, using the song "Love in Slow Motion."

Another one of those bands that really changed their sound was All That Remains. This Darkened Heart and The Fall of Ideals were super duper awesome albums. Very guitar heavy and great solos. My favorite by them hands down is "The Air That I Breathe." Even their music video is fucking awesome. The snare drum intro with everyone walking to their instruments. Jeez, that is exactly how you make a cool looking video.

I'll post one last song by All That Remains and stop ranting. This song is called "The Deepest Gray." Check it out, it's a good song. Enjoy your night everyone.
