This was another tough decision week. Eventually went with the track that blasted the most energy through the caffeine.
RISE UP, Bsky!

Mmm? What's that?
You say Saturdays are dedicated to "Metal" songs?
...Hey, friend, for yer info, The OZ *WAS* "Metal." He *DEFINED* "Metal." He *LIVED* "Metal."
So, THIS is "Metal."

I actually like this performance better than the original album cut. More awesome energy with the audience.
And don't give me the "Erne doesn't like the metal classification" line. Hard Rock/Metal/nu-metal, it crushes like hell, so it goes here.

At this point in time the pain is so well known,
even though we try to pretend.
We all want to get out of this storm,
But we all have to pay:
the Price of Reality

Raise your hand if it's been ages since you've seen this band.
Raise your hand if you've never heard of this band before.
Ok, you latter group: ...who the fuck are you, and what planet are you from??

Following my lede this week of "showing you what you haven't seen before" I present for your enjoyment this delightful prog metal cut that I bet you haven't.

Do you feel safe?
Do any of us feel safe now?

I think a whole lot of us would like to scream all our pain into the wind & allow it to just blow away.
Sick of all the bloodshed, watching evil people play wicked games as though human life were worthless.
We're stuck, living in a Mad World.

Ask an Indigenous American about "illegal aliens" and see what answer you get.
Hate breeds only hate, and no society built on hate has ever survived. Have some nu-metal/rap for your day.

Do you truly feel the grief, or only it's echo?
How long will you pull others into the fire, then claim innocence?
This isn't the Real You.

Admit it: you *love* the old hard-rock/heavy metal sound.
Yes, nu-metal, prog, and the rest have a place in our heart; but, spin a track with grindy guitars and we just melt.
This one's for us.

I first listened to Udo Dirkschneider way, way back in ACCEPT, when I was (literally) in the infancy of my Heavy Metal journey. (Thank you, ignorant fundievangelical parents for not having the sense to block MTV.)
Talent doesn't age.

They may have "begun" as a scripted, corporate idea for a kitsch band; but....
That was then.
This is NOW.
And now, these ladies are a POWERHOUSE to be reckoned with.
Welcoming in 2026 w/Metal from the East.

I have had a 20+ year love affair with Christina Scabbia's voice.
For this, the final SMM of 2025, my message is simple:
LACUNA COIL FOREVER

What month is this again? Is there something special happening? Is it a seasonal thing?
Or, do I just have a huge music boner for Taylor Momsen?
Possibly that last one, because I've been crazy for this band since they broke.

This week was another HARD one...well, it *was*. There was so much good hard rock/metal to screen, twas literally down to last minute.
But I are biased creature, with deep love for Lizy Hale, & she kicked fuck out of this classic.

You have to fight really hard to beat out Epica for top spot, and there are only a few bands that can pull that off.
None of whom were in the mix this time, so you get to enjoy the sorrow.

The final choice was among 3 strong contenders.
It was decided by my (unfair) bias for powerful female vocals.
Rock on, ladies.

This life is like borrowed water.
If we attempt to contain it, it will grow stagnant. If we try to hold onto it, it will slip through our hands.
The only way we gain from it, is to consume it, and allow it to nourish us.

Today's pick is just for me. One with no other qualification other than: "I like it." And I LIKE it.
And my lesbian heart likes it. 🏳️🌈

I can hear you thinking: "When did W.A.S.P. release new music? And why does this feel so topical?"

So, I kicked 2 major acts, and somekitty I *really* like out of the review queue this week, because these guys REALLY smoked it on this track.
It's a "Testament" to their staying power in a volatile genre.

Lots of good songs to choose from this week, so I went with the one that moved me the most. Others will have a chance next week.
This one is just *chef's kiss*
