But when life loses its meaning and is taken for naught, then the pact is to avenge!

So I just got home recently. What would keep me out this late on a weeknight?

Only my (and several of my metalhead friend's) favorite underground metal band, The Lord Weird Slough Feg left the Bay Area on tour, and visited a local bar tonight. Nothing fancy, just straight-up ass-kicking classic METAL. As an aside, their web site is woefully

Whey didn't they wait and play during the DNC? Obama could give his acceptance speech then.

Maybe Slough Feg could have given the acceptance speech for him! Except it wouldn't be so much a speech, but more like a bunch of kick-ass METAL.

Hey, that works for me!

I'm sure some of the managers would go later if Colorado law didn't require them to close at 2am.

It's not on their site, but I actually picked up their newest one last night, Hardworlder. It's almost as good as their masterpiece, Traveller....

Mike Scalzi does vocals and guitars. His voice is definitely distinctive, and fits well with the folk metal sound.

From the Wikipedia page:

Taking their name from the Celtic folklore-influenced comic Slaine....

It's a Vargr. Slough Feg's 2003 album, Traveller is based off of a 1970's Sci-Fi role playing game, and the Vargr are a race of half-dog half-humans.

Perhaps part of the reason Slough Feg rules is they're as big of nerds as I am. Though I admit to never having seen nor played the RPG.
