Countdown to Bråvalla #4 - Rammstein

From Germany with love, no sorry, from Germany with Firepower! That's what I meant. Because firepower is one thing Rammstein always brings. That and industrial rock as cold and hard as only pure metal can be. It's only fitting they bring enough fire to warm up all of Sweden during an entire winter.

I haven't seen Rammstein live before so I want to see flamethrowers, bombs, sex, blood, sweat and tears. Oh, and some songs to go with that:

Du Hast

Feuer Frei

Sonne

Ich Will

Traveller - new album from Jorn

Norweigan hard rockers Jorn has just released a new album called Traveller. It's a 10 song kick-in-the-face album with one of the best singers out there, Jorn Lande.
And it really is Jorn himself that is the star of the album, as far as I'm concerned almost every song ever written can sound better with Jorn singing it. Such powerful vocals! The songs doesn't even have to be that good (as is the case with some of the songs on Traveller) - they still sound awesome.

Don't know who Jorn Lande is? Then look into some of his other bands like Masterplan, Ark, Allen/Lande and of course all of his work with Tobias Sammet in the Avantasia project. Do that now.

Back to Traveller; the best song is Monsoon. No doubt, no question, no competition. Other good songs worth noticing is Make Your Engine Scream, Traveller and Overload.

Countdown to Bråvalla #3 - Airbourne

Next band on the list is Airbourne! With AC/DC as their biggest influence they bring a high-powered and energetic performance all the way from Australia to Sweden. A lot of great songs, but here's a couple I wanna hear:

Blonde, Bad and Beautiful

Runnin' Wild

Too Much, Too Young, Too Fast

Live It Up

Woman Like That

Countdown to Bråvalla #2 - The Gaslight Anthem

Next band on my countdown list, and a must-see on Bravalla, is the Gaslight Anthem. A relatively new band with a great sound and some solid song-writing. Hope to hear my favorite song of theirs, Handwritten. That one kicks some major ass!

The '59 Sounds

"45"

Bråvalla 2013 Playlist

Two songs that shouldn't be here!

This is far from the music that I listen to… But with two great frontmen from my music "safe zone" these songs are actually pretty good! 

And yes... I hate myself right now.

Unbreakable -

Marien Baker feat. Shaun Frank (The Envy)

In And Out Of Love -

Armin van Buuren feat. Sharon den Adel (Within Temptation)

Volbeat - Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies

Volbeat's new album, Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies, was released earlier this year. It's the Danish bands fifth studio album. The frontman Michael Poulsen has not changed the direction at all, it's the same old school rock/boogie/hard rock/metal mix of the classic Volbeat recipe. If it ain't broken - don't fix it!

The album doesn't have the same overall quality as the Guitar Gangsters album had, but it has got some really catchy songs. The best songs of the album are Lola Montez, The Nameless One and Pearl Heart. 

Lola Montez

Cape Of Our Hero

The Nameless One

Pearl Heart
