Scott Instrumental Metal Track of the Day - Micro-Aggressions by Animals As Leaders

Yesterday marked 9 years since I started my daily Metal Tracks. Never thought I'd make it this long. Guess I might as well shoot for 10 at this point. Luckily there is enough metal in the world for me to stick with my "no repeats" rule.

Tosin Abasi and Javier Reyes are just insane. This is Micro-Aggressions off of Parrhesia which came out last Friday.

Scott's Metal Track of the Day - Put Your Back Into the Oar by Amon Amarth

One of these days I'm going to convince Kristen to give me control of the music at Orangetheory so I can blast this while Kevin and I crush the rowers. Today's Metal Track is Put Your Back Into The Oar by Amon Amarth. This is a brand new standalone single but the band has indicated they are working on a new album.

From the band:

"Much has been said about fans coming to our shows to have fun and doing the 'epic Viking row'. Well we thought it was a good idea to write a song about it! This one is for you, the fans, wherever you are - and may Odin guide you as you row to your destiny in uncharted seas!"

ROW!

ROW!

ROW!

The oar is your best friend!
