My Thoughts:

Well my HeadBangers there you have it.  I admit that it’s not Black Death Metal, to me it’s more melodic/rock.  But whatever it is I really like it.  Sometimes we need songs that calm us inside.  That brings a reason to the madness that continues to spin out of control on this planet.  I like to be able to just sit back, close my eyes and listen to it.  No hair moshing here, just some really good music and a little down time.  We all need that.  When I can’t take hearing anymore news about the government, people killing each other, having to look over your shoulder every where you go and don’t forget your MASK, and your shots, yeah I’ve had both mine, now it’s a damn booster, but it will never end, there will always be something crawling around that wants to get us.  So enjoy your down time, listen to some good music and just breathe my HeadBangers, fingers crossed it will get better.

That’s it for this week my HeadBangers.  Join me next week for another band and another song, in the meantime don’t stand to close to the fire if you can’t handle the burn…..
