I'll start with some Identity Rock / Rock Identitaire. For those unaware, Rock Identitaire Français (RIF) was a movement in France consisting of Nationalist musicians rocking against Americanization and multiculturalism on grounds of national and cultural identity. Many musicians were active in various Nationalist parties in France, including the FN under Jean-Marie Le Pen.
The firebrand behind RIF was Vae Victis, a band known a few years earlier as Ultime Assaut. Vae Victis would pick up where Ultime Assaut left off and would prominently feature a female vocalist, a rare occurrence in the overwhelmingly male Nationalist music scene. Their music blends Celtic themes with hard riffs and folksy instrumentation. Towards the end of their career, their sound would get much heavier. The band would really come into their own when Carine took the lead. Sadly, her participation would be limited to the first three albums following maternity leave.
I was 15 once too. No, really I used to listen to this shit when I was your age too It becomes really cringe past a certain age when you develop self reflection
Kind of funny listening to a bunch Germans venerating the Roman Empire even though they wanted to exterminate them 2000 years ago.
Great album by a very original jazz trumpet player who came up through the Maynard Ferguson Band to forge his own unique identiy in the sixties; he created a four valve trumpet that plays quarter tones for example

The Doors at their best. So much more than Jim, who was great but still, the band as a whole were awesome.

The highest exaltation of the German soul (and I'm not German)

For a brief moment in time everything reach a pinnacle of musicianship and then as suddenly as it happened, it vanished for ever. But we have this recording of it to remember it by.
