I like to create playlists for fun when I'm not busy. Usually, though, I abandon them soon after. I want this playlist to be a bit different - perhaps not infinitely useful, but I associate all these songs with the season of winter and the winter holidays, and I'll be listening to all these a lot at least for a while. I thought I'd share the songs I included in my digital playlist, maybe you'll find something you like. Many of these are purposely blasphemous - I live surrounded by fundamentalist Christians and they're gonna spend the holidays singing about the birth of Christ - I need me some counterbalance.

1.Dream Theater - Awake

2.Immolation - Close To A World Below

3.Vader - Impressions In Blood

4.Dissection - Storm Of The Light's Bane

5.Emperor - In The Nightside Eclipse

1.Dream Theater - A Change Of Seasons

2.Lamb Of God - Ashes Of The Wake

3.Dream Theater - Awake

4.Animals As Leaders - Animals As Leaders

5.Blotted Science - The Machinations Of Dementia

4.Ne Obliviscaris - Portal Of I

5.Obscura - Omnivium

Top albums in no particular order. The first decade of the new millenium turned out to be a good one for Viking music! I realize Nightwish might be a controversial entry, but their (pre-Annette) music can invoke the inner Norseman in me!

2.Ensiferum - Victory Songs

3.Falkenbach - Tiurida

4.Finntroll - Jaktens Tid

5.Finntroll - Ur Jordens Djup
