Synner Songs of the week!

[Jamie London]

Hey all! Over on the Synner Instagram page (@ Synnerofficial) we’ve started posting a new song of the week each week in the stories. These are unrelated to the AOTMs or anything like that, it’s just a fun thing we’ve begun doing to hopefully inspire some discussions here and hopefully give you some new tunes to check out!

We’re keeping track of them on the “SYNNERs Song of the Week playlist” which will be updated weekly here:
This weeks song is “The Heart Collector” by Nevermore! Have you heard the song before? Do any parts of it stand out to you musically? Feel free to discuss and break it down along with the last few previous SOTWs below!

I've never heard it before! I love the idea!

Cool! I've been missing out

Absolutely adore this song !
Warrel Dane + Jeff Loomis = perfection ! Definitely one of the most underrated metal bands in my opinion. The entire album “dead heart in a dead world” is phenomenal, but imo this song is THE best on the album. It’s melodic throughout, but heavy when needed, the lyrics are gripping, and Warrel’s voice is dynamic, unique, and full of pain. (Fun fact…he trained as an opera singer for several years)

It’s so good haha I didn’t start listening to this album until around 06-07 but damn it takes me back, and such a killer song. I agree, best on the album. 2000-2010 was such an awesome time for rock and metal imo. Some of my favorite pieces of music came out back then and it’s an era filled with special memories for me. But yeah, the song crushes

Also a huge fan of “Salamanders in the Sun” from last week! Such a fun track brimming with musical excellence. Would really love to hear what more people think of those two!

This weeks SOTW is bringing some serious rockabilly vibes to the playlist with “Mean Pickin Mama” by The Stray Cats!

Oh yeah, for sure!
I really really dig the opening guitar in this song, something about it is so pleasing to listen to haha

We do love the Stray Cats! Funny story, I can never hear this song without being slightly started and scrambling to find the source... it's been my dad's ringtone for quite a while now (HUGE Rockabilly guy)

I do seriously recommend checking out some Stray Cats / Brian Setzer (solo and orchestra) stuff if you haven't! I grew up on that stuff and while as a kid I probably had little care for it, I have a great appreciation for it all now! It's probably also why I love Volbeat so much, similar vibes tbh

 

[William B.]

Hearing it the first time I like it
Lot's of cool new music being shared ( new for me )
Stuff I probably never would have heard on my own

Brian Setzer is fucking PEERLESS. He's probably 90% of the reason Gretsch is still making guitars.

Brian Setzer Orchestra - Guitar Slinger

WHAT AN ALBUM!

 

[Matt Wildcat]

Oh absolutely. He's a phenomenal guitarist for sure, wish I'd taken my dad up on properly learning his stuff when he could still play it! Also, his 6120 Hotrod is a total beauty. Sounds and plays like a dream.

And yes, Guitar Slinger is AWESOME!

Alright fam, this weeks song is “No One Lives Forever” by Oingo Boingo! Danny Elfman and co bring some full on spooky season vibes with this one (and many other songs tbh haha). Enjoy!
