Scott Metal Track of the Day - Last Word by Baroness

Yesterday I went on a Baroness kick and played their music videos throughout my entire workout. They must have have been watching because today they announced their upcoming album and released a brand new track and video. Today's Metal Track, Last Word, is the lead single from Stone which is set to be release September 15.

Scott's Instrumental Metal Track of the Day - Ashes of the Wake by Lamb of God

If you don't like screaming but like heavy music, today's Instrumental Metal Track is for you! A brilliant display of punishing breakdowns and tight drumming embedded in a barrage of solos.

Ashes of the Wake is one of my favorite Lamb of God Tracks and serves as the title track off 2004 album. The song is not completely instrumental but the only vocals are snippets from former staff sergeant and former Marine Jimmy Massey in an interview after his return from the Iraq War. his song features guest guitarist Alex Skolnick (of Testament) and Chris Poland (Formerly of Megadeth).

Scott's Instrumental Metal Track of the Day - The Only Thing The Fear is You (Doom Eternal) by Mick Gordon

Any Doom fans out there? I grew up playing the early releases on PC and Sega 32X. I need to check out some of the newer releases. They seem intense. Today's Instrumental Metal Track comes from the 2020 game Doom Eternal. The Only Thing They Fear is You was composed by Australian composer Mick Gordon. He composed the entire score for the game and soundtrack. Unfortunately issues with the soundtrack release ended in an ugly and public falling out between Mick and id Software.
