Unfortified Castle

The tap-filled anthem is one of my 21st-century rock favorites, but its lyrical theming didn't register with me until very recently.

It's a fitting song to soundtrack my return home... but that's a pretty new way for me to approach it.

My old System of a Down favorite is extreme in its timbral changes, but musically consistent — a recipe for an intense, engaging listen.

As I've done twice before, I pay tribute to a recently deceased musician by looking back at one of their works.

A "darksynth" retooling of a 1980s movie soundtrack classic gives the lyrics and title a much more fitting treatment.

It's a song I consider a sports anthem, and just a track that gets you in the mood for a thrashing.
