So here's the deal. I trawl through Youtube looking for songs that fit some simple criteria.
1. It's by a Metal band. Black Metal, Death Metal, Neo-Babylonian Astrological Metal, whatever. I have even been known to sneak in some Hard Rock when I think I can get away with it.
2. No NSBM though. Bollocks to Nazis and their music can fuck right off too.
3. No instrumentals (Unless I really like them) No live tracks (Unless I really like them) and no bedroom projects (Unless I really like them)
4. And most importantly...
It has to have the word "Metal" in the title.
Today's batch of songs are also united by another factor. All of them are by bands from Ecuador
There's not as many as I'd like but I hope that you'll find something new and exciting. Enjoy.

That's all folks.
Metal from Ecuador? I never would have thought it possible! Except I really should have, given that there's more than one country and culture on the planet. Here's to spatial awareness, I guess.
ReplyDeleteIn any case, thanks for sharing. I knew I couldn't go anywhere without listening to Extreme Attack -- if only because it reminds me of Lyude from Baten Kaitos. "This attack will be quick and effective! Extreme Attack -- Sforzando!"
Ha ha. References.
I love it when I can introduce people to something cool. If you're interested, I'm planning on doing Chile, Argentina and Paraguay in upcoming posts.
