Recently, I purchased the "Re-Armed" (that is, remastered) editions of Sabaton's first albums, and discovered that while their music is almost exclusively about real life war (with a focus on WWII -- absolutely KILLER stuff too!), each album usually has one track that is a tribute to metal in some way ("Metal Ripper", "Metal Machine", "Metal Crüe").
That got me to thinking. I know that Dream Evil had a couple of tracks that were in the same thematic vein as Sabaton's stuff. How many songs did I have in my iTunes library that would have "Metal Glorification" (my own words) as a theme? I tried using iTunes's built in search feature, but it returned EVERY song in the Metal genre, which made me grumpy. Then, I realized I could do a Windows search in the iTunes library folder.
I found 24 tracks that at least have "metal" in their names, and having heard most of them, I know that most fit what I was looking for. So, without further ado, I present my newest playlist:
( \m/ Metal Glorification \m/ )
Now, I'm gonna try to be productive. This took way too long to do. *sideeyesTwitter*
