Dream Theater -- Hono(u)r Thy Father

A dark, angry and powerful piece this one.

The track is on the fantastic "Train Of Thought" album, for those collectors out there.

This offering from the legendary progressive metal band was written entirely by Mike Portnoy (the lyrics at any rate)

Directed towards and indeed about Mike Portnoy's stepfather "I'm not very good at writing love songs, so I thought I would write a HATE song!".

Things to listen out for: Hefty double bassing on the kick drums, excellent lyrics and visciously brilliant guitar playing.

Give it a dunt:

9☆/10★

(Apologies for the poor overall quality, a good quality track is damn near impossible to find either legally and/or on a reliable hosting site, this one is on the excellent and now sadly dead (no more uploads) video.google.com)
