The best song this week is "World of Lies" by At the Gates

I haven't slept very well the past couple of days. And last week I just didn't have anything to write about -- I've been listening to sports on the radio in the car and the "best song this week" can't very well be a baseball game. Humber's perfect game might be the best thing that happened this past week, but that's neither here nor there.

The riff here is the kind of thing that when you write it, you just keep on playing it for hours on end just to make sure you don't forget it. Then you show it to the drummer and he writes this badass rolling triplet figure to balls it out and you all just sit there headbanging until the beer runs out and you're like "damn, we are some brutal effing Swedes." So what if this record spawned a million terrible metalcore bands? This is melodic death metal at its best, heavy as lead-coated sin but head-bobbingly catchy at the same time.

The best song this week is World of Lies by At the Gates and I'm going to bed.
