It's a strong sound, distinct and meaningful enough to see why it was named as it was. Dark, mournful, frustrated, persistent...these are the feelings I get from it. In contrast to your experience with my pick, those six minutes went by like nothing. I really like it.
Next up, something very different from my last rec:
Hell is For Heroes - Night Vision

I appreciated the meaning, but it's just totally not my sound right now. I'm not in that kind of song mood, listening to that stuff all the time would get me depressed. Night Vision: THAT was a good song for me to listen to. I loved it. That is the kind of music I'm listening to right now. It shows that songs don't have to be complex to be successful or just to have a good amount of rock to them. Word to that.
If you like Steve Vai, you should check out some of the shit he does. Fucking REDICULOUS guitarist. Check out 'So Happy' by Steve Vai. It's pretty weird and pretty creepy, but the fact that he can do something like it is pretty cool. Also, his rendition of 'Christmas Time Is Here' is the only christmas song I will EVER like.
Ok, how about
Pain of Salvation - 'The Perfect Element'
Mind you, this is the song, not the album. I also recommend the short guitar solo track that leads into this song called
'Falling'.
