Song of the Day

And because @Symmachus didn't tell us the band that Mia Wallace is a bassist of... I present Nervosa:

Hell yes! Excellent song, a real headbanger! This song reminds me of Swedish band Arch Emeny, especially the vocals that, the high-pitched aspects at least, have similar tonality to that of Angela Gossow; albeit, the song has more old-school death metal vibes. They are also quite successful in exhibiting the ritualistic horror they are aiming for, with great special effects and production value; and a grimy, menacing, confrontational nihilism against hope bleeds (literally) upon the viewer. I. LOVE. THIS. SONG!!!

As well, Mia Wallace did bass for the solo career of Abbath, previously a member of Norwegian black metal band Immortal.

Another very good all-female metal crew is Gallhammer, based in Japan. I have a copy of their CD Ill Innocence, released by Peaceville Records (My Dying Bride, Darkthrone, Katatonia, etc.) and produced by Darkthrone's own Nocturno Culto. Gallhammer are a black-doom-crust all-female band with three full-length albums under their name, and know how to bring extreme, bleak heaviness into the atmosphere. They have not release an album since their third full-length effort, 2011's The End, but even if they never release anything again, they are one of the more unique bands of the low-production, crusty metal ilk. (NOTE: they did randomly release a split EP in 2019, eight years after The End, according to the metal-archives page.)

Other bands worth mentioning: Izegrim, Crystal Viper, Myrkur, Adore, Monarch!, Decadence (Sweden), Bolt Thrower, Abnormality (USA), Landmine Marathon, Mythic, Serpentcult, Witch Mountain, Dreadnought, Alunah, Thorr's Hammer (Okay, better stop there. Getting carried away!).

PS: One more recommendation, but this one is a movie. The music video reminds me of the 1970s religion-themed horror film Alucarda, which is about a female vampire(-like individual) who preys on women at a convent, and gets one in particular involved with Satanic rituals and intellect. It's a rather poignant film addressing matters such as religious persecution, hysteria, and iconoclasm.

I have no shame, as I plug for my BEAUTFUL niece from my first brother from another mother... friends forever my beloved "Osh Kosh By Gosh"!! I love you always, and some day soon, we'll take that Betty Buckley "Song Interpretation" class together, you for the skills you'll gain, and me for the teaching wisdom I'll learn.

From the GOAT Ashford and Simpson songwriting couple, who gave us so many classics, I'm gonna keep riding this into 2021:



Happy New year, to all the guys, and the rest of us that are *every* woman.


PS: My favorite cover of the same tune, what Rory Block lacks in voice, she makes up with playing acoustic slide guitar! ;)




ETA: I dream of being able to just *play* Robert Johnson songs as well as she does, and wouldn't care AF how good or bad my voice sounded.

Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay. - Robert Frost

To all the poets and Ponyboys at heart, stay gold...
