Music in the time of Coronavirus
 

Not a playlist of music you'd listen to while in lockdown (well, maybe you would), more songs that reflect what it's about, how you feel, what's going on etc. Like these.

Doctor, Doctor - Thompson Twins
Social Disease - Bon Jovi
Windows and Walls - Dan Fogelberg
All by Myself - Eric Carmen
You be Illin' - Run-DMC
Don't Stand So Close to Me - Police
Behind the Mask - Fleetwood Mac
Breathing - Kate Bush

I'm sure you all have plenty more, so let's hear 'em.

I immediately think of Virus by Iron Maiden

Man, I looked all over for a song about viruses and had no idea Maiden had one! And me a rabid fan. What album is that off?

It doesn't appear on any official Iron Maiden studio album,single from 1996.

Song is a dope :)

Leave it alone. Just cos it hadn't any proper schooling you want to... oh. OH! You mean song IS dope... ;)

Yeah, its a dope :)

Code orange album came out right in ground zero of the pandemic feb 2020

im revisting it and man this album is badass !!!

sulfer surrounding is the song that pretty much the feeling at the time so dark n depressing

Oh wow that's terrible **** I'd hoped we left behind in the mid-late 00s when metalcore bands were desperate for butt rock radio play.

i like metalcore !!!!!! **** goes hard :P

I love metalcore. That is lameass metalcore. At least listen to some stuff that isn't desperate for Three Days Grace listeners a decade after that was even halfway a new idea.

Poison the well is still a band i thought they broke up ..???

and that zao song was trash

now BT i still mess with them LOL




i never noticed this song sounds so much like hatebreed :P

Dear God you're just a goofball who doesn't get metalcore that isn't just new age nu metal. Try again.

And you join us as The Mighty Batlord squares up against Norg the Great, facing off and hoping to answer a question nobody who has grown up in the slightest cares about: what is proper metalcore?

Place yer bets, ladies and gentle - who am I kidding? Place yer bets, kids! :D

Bitch remember when you liked this album? That's real metalcore.

this is a age of Nu New metal nu metal nevar died !!!! didnt u read that old article even Death grips is Nu metal lol

and this is no fight with batty i like all metalcore and most of the stuff he post /thread

Do you like Three Days Grace?

*aims rifle*

Hmmm not really :P tbo ive never really heard there stuff ..???


but damm these J metalcore bands be putting there american peers to shame ....jesus what u think ..???

holy cows Psyopus !!!!




ok im done Bye

Nah, complete trash. It's like these bands are so far removed from the energy and rawness of old metal that they don't even know it exists, but are so ignorant of the heaviness that metal has achieved that even though they concentrate entirely on nothing but rhythmic thudding they still act as if they are entirely ignorant of the only thing they do more than older metal bands. It's like they have no reason to exist other than to have more clean production.

At least this is fun in an absurd way with neat riffs.

I will say, having so much more free time really motivated me to seek out more music. THANKS, INTERNET AND WHOEVER INVENTED THE MP3 FILE FORMAT!

In particular, I’ve been relating to this:

Enon - Starcastic

dude no lol

This has new meaning these days:

Now it seems so real

Wet market, haggling over human organs
Cordon sanitaire, the west sick and swollen
Cracked lips, bloated feet bulging, sick with rabies
Inoculate the babies, inoculate the babies
It's too late for y'all, just inoculate the babies
Inoculate the babies



Landfill smoldering
Hydroxychloroquine unpacked and boxed up again
With no point of origin

Has an introvert dropped an album yet?
