Dream Evil - The Book of Heavy Metal (Sweden, 2004)

In 2005 or so, when media consumption was a different animal, I found that sampler CDs were a great way to explore a bunch of bands at once without committing to a whole album of each. I went to my local CD Warehouse and Cheapo and snapped up a couple generations of Identity and Metal For The Masses - most of the stuff that resonated was metalcore and death metal (Heaven Shall Burn, God Forbid, Arch Enemy, etc.), but this weird power metal meta-track also stuck in my head. Also, it turns out the music video is way better than I could have imagined.

Ok. Hear me out. I got this wicked idea for a song about a spider but it might be too far off-genre.

There was this tiny little spider. An itsy-bitsy little thing, actually. He lived at the bottom of this water-drain thing, and he always wanted to crawl to the top of it to get a better view of the world, ya' know?

Every time the poor bastard got enough courage to start his journey, rain clouds would show up and torrents of rain kept washing him back down the drain.

Still, he would never give up trying and rumor has it that he is still trying to get to the top of the spout once more.

Now, I don't know about y'all, but this little guy almost deserves a song written about him. It's like, I dunno, motivation for how we should approach life, and stuff. Let me know what you think cause I think we have a hit on our hands.

If you don't object to using AI, you can try creating it with Suno or something similar.

Maaaaaan - this is what’s cool about the huge umbrella that is metal. It includes the stuff I always post on this community, yes, your JFAC, your Carnosus, relentless techy wankery. But it also includes beautiful operatic melodic metal like this. The guitar work makes me want to go explore the ruins of a temple, and the vocals make me want to soar above it. This is what Mods Are Drunk Friday is for, thanks for sharing
