Freak Thoughts

So, if you haven’t noticed, I’m a very music oriented type of person. I play in bands, listen to tons of music, and even work in a musical instrument shop. I wanted to share a little more of the music I’ve been utilizing to get me through writing papers, and even the story I’ve been working on this semester. I don’t like to hear too much singing while I’m writing, so I listen to a lot of post rock. Here is the main band I’ve been rocking while writing:

The album I’ve been mostly listening to is called The Fall of Math. Another band I’ve been listening to a lot is called American Steel. They’re what is called an orgcore band. Basically, it’s along the lines of the Lawrence Arms or older Alkaline Trio. I like to listen to that stuff when I’m working on other things or writing different sorts of stuff. They’ve got some really neat lyrics. Another band in that same realm that I reccomend is called Small Arms Dealer, and specifically their album called Patron Saint Of Disappointment. That album is killer.

Another type of music that has a totally different feel that I love is metal, and specifically death metal. I know there are a couple guys that rock this sort of music out there, so I’ll name a couple bands that I have had on heavy rotation lately.

The first is Spawn of Possession. They’re a technical death metal band out of Sweden that really pioneered the genre that bands like the Faceless have been banking on. Another band I would really reccomend taking a listen to is Nile. I know if you’re into death metal, you probably listen to those gods of the genre, but their new album is something that I rock a lot.

There is some inspiration for 90% of you. Check out those bands if you’re looking for something new to listen to. Rock.
