Stolas – Medusa
Found these guys on LinkedIn. Yeah…LinkedIn. Saw the guitar player’s photo on my stream and thought, “That guy’s got to be a musician.” Turns out I was right and his band kicks absolute ass.
Shadows Fall
Some of Big Swole’s favorite tracks from Shadows Fall!
2Cellos – Highway to Hell
These two dudes are whack! Like them or not, you have to appreciate the talent and musicianship it takes to convert some of the most monster rock songs in history into a duet played on cellos. I personally like the shit out of them.

Tony Monaco

Black Label Society – New Religion
One of my very favorite BLS songs. Love the piano intro that leads into a face melting riff.
Oberon Ale

Schloss Eggenberg Samichlaus – Classic
With an alcohol content of 14% this one will get ya. This Dopplebock pours a dark maple color with virtually no head at all. It was there for just a second and then it left a very slight visible ring around the glass.
