Monday Morning Aural Sex: 2020-01-20 (Through Niflheim to Valhalla Edition Vol. 2)

To Valhalla, perverts! Emo-fuckin’-clew to Volume 2 of the Through Niflheim to Valhalla Edition of Monday Morning Aural Fuckin’ Sex! As if you couldn’t guess by the name and/or cover art I posted for this shit, we’re goin’ deep into nordic folk and viking metal in this one. One of the groups describes themselves as “amplified history…” That group, dearest perverts, is the mighty Heilung, and one of the main reasons I made this edition is to hype myself the fuck up for the show on the 24th. I will most assuredly be taking pics and videos galore, even though I honestly would rather just experience the show, I’m almost certain that the temptation will be fuckin’ overwhelming to capture some of it at least.

 

So, to any nordic folk & viking metal purists who somehow may have stumbled across my little podcast here, calm your fuckin’ tits right now as you casually glide your fuckin’ eyeballs across the tracklisting. I’m pretty sure a few of these groups aren’t Nordic at all, but they fit the general theme of this edition, so I fuckin’ included them. The Abraxis song right near the beginning? That was put there again after Heilung’s phenomenal fuckin’ anthem, “In Maidjan,” to illustrate similarities between the tribal music of our earliest ancestors and the EDM many people listen to today. Many will tell you also that EDM still has a very tribal feel in the crowds, at least in certain subgenres anyway. It’s all subjective, so what-the-fuck-ever.

 

Anyway, I did my best to construct a sort of narrative here with the tracklist. I often do that, frankly. I hope someone notices and appreciates it at some point, but it’s enough for me alone if it goes unnoticed forever. Keep in mind too that I’m 31 fuckin’ flavors of exhausted right now. Yes, I’m the Baskin fuckin’ Robbins of exhaustion, and I’m surprised I’m even typing semi-coherently at this point, but this podcast is important to me. It’s a self-discipline thing, and it definitely helps me keep my life somewhat in order. So, no matter how much I procrastinate, or how busy I am, or how poorly I plan this shit out before I’m sitting here assembling it all, I drag myself through to the end. The fucked up thing is that from the time I finish writing, recording and editing this intro, there’s still another hour and a half to two hours worth of stuff to do.

 

That said, let us all, and by that I mean me, myself, and your cousin George, stoppeth yammeringith soeth weath caneth yojneth!
