Back From Hiatus + OOMPH!'s new video

The Queen of Thunder is back! I apologize for my extended absence. As an experimental blog that I've never really advertised and that doesn't have many readers, I tend to forget that it exists sometimes. But I want to put an end to that.

To avoid losing my mind, I recently went from working full-time to only working two days a week. The rest of my time I am using to focus on things that are more important to me, such as music and writing (and volunteer work and going to the gym). As part of this dedication to creative and enjoyable tasks, I'd like to breathe new life into this blog -- and not just today, but on a regular basis from this point on.

So I'd like to announce that I will now be updating this blog, in one form or another, EVERY TUESDAY AND FRIDAY. These posts can be in-depth reviews or simply a YouTube link to song I'm enjoying at that time. But one way or another, I will be updating twice a week at the minimum. Posts may be made in between these days as well, as needed. Additionally, to show that metalheads can have other musical interests as well, I will begin doing one non-metal post every month. You will never see me post hiphop or country, as these are my mortal enemies -- but songs and articles I share may encompass a variety of other genres, such as oldies, jazz, classical, musical theatre, or whatever else strikes my fancy that month. Don't worry, each non-metal post I make will probably be accompanied by a metal post made on the same day.

I may include a lot of Neue Deutsche Härte and even some of the heavier darkwave stuff in my definition of metal. Today I'd like to share Oomph!'s new music video, Alles aus Liebe. As you may know, I am a huge Oomph! fan. I include them in my top 5 favorite bands of all time, so I'm excited for their new album, which was released only a week ago. I haven't bought the album yet, but I soon will. The first official music was released not long before the album, and it's a pretty great song.

See you on Tuesday!
