Iceage -- "White Rune"
I have generally determined that you young people have your music and I have mine, but this song breaks the generational barrier. These Swedes may still be teenagers, but they have old souls. The sound of this track is pretty familiar -- this kind of riffing always hearkens back to Black Sabbath in these ears of mine, even if it's been filtered through hardcore and newer strains of metal -- but it's also fresh. There's something new about it, but it's also old, like it came out of Norse saga -- out of the last ice age.
Even though the vocals are in English, I still can't understand a damned thing. But no matter.
