Soundtracks to boomer shooters, like Doom, Shadow Warrior, and Duke Nukem 3D. I also discovered Judas Priest through their songs Painkiller and Breaking the Law.
Found myself drifting back into nostalgic music from the 90s which was important to me as a teen. The world has felt very tense lately to me, like we're constantly dancing near disaster, and there's some solace in old familiar tunes which remind me of younger years.
Same for me but with the early 00s. Sugar Ray spotify radio has been on constantly over the last week for me.
I'm in one of my phases where I listen to a small handful of songs on repeat.
The Toxhards - Ængus, The Prize-Winning Hog -- a miniature rock/metal opera about (surprise!) a prize-winning hog. Extremely silly but, unironically, straight flames.
Maximum the Hormone - HAWATARI NIOKU CENTI -- Probably best known as one of the ending themes for the anime Chainsaw Man, which I haven't seen/read any of. Got turned on to this tune by friends who know I love MtH. This is short, but jam-packed with the band's signature stylistic shifts (as well as some badass glitchy stuff that is newer to their sound).
Maximum the Hormone - これからの麺カタコッテリの話をしよう -- Keeping with the same group, this is one of their newer single drops that isn't connected to an anime. This one sees them playing with disco and EDM as well as the usual hardcore/j-pop/punk fare. Like riding in a racecar whose transmission kicks monstrously. Skip to 1:25 if you aren't watching the video/don't want to give the intro your time.
The Offspring - Staring at the Sun -- If you know the Offspring, you know what this is about. If not, this tune would be a good introduction to their high-octane, driving punk stylings. I'm always astonished by how easy Dexter Holland makes his vocals sound, despite them being rather on the high side.
