"Lights Come Alive" |

Dear younger self: There's a limit to how much cargo my slow time machine can carry, and probably a limit to how much time you should spend now on a future that will eventually arrive whole, so I have reduced this year of listening to a single long day. Tracks 1-50 are mostly versions of metal, 51-100 are mostly not, and then there are some covers. Each section is meticulously ranked, because you (and only you) will care. Bloody Hammers are my favorite band I first embraced this year, and maybe the one that most precisely captured my mood of yearning, apocalyptic, resigned, defiant awe. |

Somewhere between Low and HIM and new wave and doom is what may be my new favorite band. |

Bloody Hammers is a European metal name, but a gothic rock band from North Carolina. Despite the "North", North Carolina is far enough south for North Carolinan "gothic" to be Southern gothic, but there is actually a Transylvania in North Carolina. I've been there! It didn't seem especially gothic, and I discovered no music while driving through it, and certainly nothing gothic in the Central European mode like this song. |
