Mainly when it is like -5F out 
Its original name was "When Hell Freezes Over" which is also apt, it is just a very "cold" feeling piece.
I never linked the one from before. It actually seems to be a *squints* guitar cover of the Apocalyptica version, who are a band that got their fame from playing cello covers of Metallica... who are the reason I got to like this little bit of music because Kirk would play a few bars of it while walking onstage...
...so anyway, YT Music has been throwing me a lot of Dethklok for some reason and I've been listening to it non-ironically
(how does laser beams or acid work underwater?)
A few classics that have hit my table lately:
Teh E36 M3 said in his MG MZR thread:
In reply to wheelsmithy (Joe-with-an-L) :
I'm trying to decide what to play the first time I pull out of the driveway.
Colin has been built, like most vehicles I have built, with metal and industrial in my ears.
Amon Amarth, Sabaton, and Korpiklaani have been instrumental in the development process, but one thing really keeps me going.
Fan made music video because of course it is
anything that combines Batman, Evil Dead, and a dozen other fandoms is cool in my book
I went to a White Witch concert in my home town's 1,200 person plus balcony movie theater in the early 70s. It was hard to see the stage from that balcony through all of the pot smoke haze. The city leaders stated that Rock music was a "Bad Thing" and banned rock concerts for ever more. And not allowed to this day except for Acid Rock for God concerts.

Dethklok rips. I know it's mostly a joke, but Mr Small is a legend. Dethalbum 2 is a gem.
Speaking of irony though. I'm typing this with the original cast Les Miserables playing on ye olde airpods.
In reply to Tony Sestito :
Nice. I saw CoC back in school, I saw them in modern times. Didn’t seem like they slowed down over the years.
In reply to Tony Sestito :
I think my band might have opened for COC way back when at a venue in PA. Those guys have been around forever. I'll have to ask my old bass player.
I saw Savatage opening for Megadeth and Dio back in 1986. My first concert. I do remember that video on MTV back in the day.
Speaking of Megadeth, Marty Friedman joined them for a show in Tokyo.
I will have to go down a rabbit hole of show videos after work today.
Neat he dug out one of his custom Jackson Kelly models. I thought he had sold them all off for Tsunami relief a few years ago, although those might have just been his Megadeth era guitars.
Yeah, been a COC fan since the early 90's when I heard Clean My Wounds on local radio. I didn't really get into the early Crossover/Hardcore days until later, but I was a huge fan of the Blind-era forward. I actually bought Wiseblood by mistake; I was on a high school band trip (we used to travel the country every year for competitions) and they dropped us off at a mall somewhere. I wanted some new music, and remembered that I liked COC, so I grabbed the Wiseblood cassette off the rack thinking it was the Deliverance album. When I popped it in, I was not disappointed, but surprised how much I liked it even more! It's probably my favorite of theirs.
I also grabbed this one recently:
In The Arms of God is another favorite. This one has one of my favorite drummers (Stanton Moore) playing on it, which is a treat. He's by no means a Metal drummer; he leans more toward the New Orleans Jazz stuff, but he's buddies with COC due to the NOLA connection, and he is amazing on this one. He's also recording with them right now, which I'm super pumped about!
In Batcave, scratching my head at trying to make five things fit in the same space, listening to some autogenerated playlist.
Then this comes on.
About thirty seconds in, I stop paying attention to Mini/Subaru dash and realize what is in my headphones and start laughing hysterically
....In case that didn't click
The Finnish version is not an English translation, it's about drinking, because of course it is
The fact that Sabaton covered and released defence of Moscow which was made originally by a fan makes the possibility of them covering this kinda real

... which makes it criminal that I didn't know about this until today.
Apparently this was only on some super limited edition pressings of Carolus Rex. It isn't on mine.
I'm getting some early 70s Black Sabbath vibes with this one. Not fully, but a nice little tingle.
