Take Steel Mammoth a band who describes themselves with the following passage : “A lonesome engine cries, howling in the cruel crüel night! Nuclear nightmare, atomic style! Shadow barbarians with lazer eyes, radiation village, the black fire burning bright!

Sorry for the lack of posts, just havin’ a hard time with my finals for the time being. I’m through with all but two, so it’s time to feature my primary helper during this stressful week, Dead Meadow’s reissue of their self titled first album.
