If you have 11 minutes and 29 seconds to spare, listen to this epic heavy metal track.
I promise, this song just keeps on giving.

And yes, I do have a slight obsession with Wildhunt's new album by now.

Ok, so far the album is so-so.

But the riffs man, the riffs are superb! They should take those riffs and build new and better songs around it.

I always liked it slow
I've never liked it fast

It's not the life I led

That's what my mama said

In 1988 Leonard Cohen suddenly uses synths. In addition, his voice is significantly lower now compared to his earlier albums. A bit like Tom Waits.
