TRACK SABBATH - the un-radio

TRACK SABBATH will be a non-radio show where I play songs I like, songs I've never heard before, songs I don't remember hearing, or songs I want to hear again. Enjoy.



The first song is a classic of newer True Metal history - utterly perfect as Hammerfall were back then:

Hammerfall - hammerfall (Glory to the Brave)

Next up is a song from the only Samael-Album I really really like - 'infra galaxia' as a hommage to how cool this track sounded live.

Samael - infra galaxia (Eternal)

Let's move on to the woman with the possibly best, most touching and expressive voice of all times.

Connie Francis - napoli (Die Liebe ist ein seltsames Spiel)

Now one of my favourite songs at the moment - we travel to Bulgaria where Preslava is giving us a prototype of Chalga with a chorus for the Gods.

Preslava - obeshtai mi (Pazi se ot priateli)

Next we let villains Belphegor sing one of their odes to the horns. I found this by chance on youtube at work today and was immediately smitten.

Belphegor - belphegor - hell's ambassador (Pestapokalpyse VI)

This is from back in the day when Metal Hammer compilations were still cool and interesting, and you gave it more than one listen.

The Automanic - grow (Flow)

This next lesser known Therion track is from their "Intermediate Album" A'arab Zaraq Lucid Dreaming.

Therion - into remembrance (A'arab Zaraq Lucid Dreaming)

And last but not least, the heavenly Colonia. This will make you wanna go out and dance with your friends. I promise.

Colonia - party on! (Do Kraja)

The new HIM single

'heartkiller' (can be found on the band's myspace page) is another disappointment in the long line of recent weak HIM singles.

Unimaginative, unexciting, streamlined in the worst possible way, and performed as if it comes right out of a nursing home.

Ville Valo, where has your talent gone?
