Music: December 28 2012

This track is from a 2002 film by Sam Raimi starring J.K. Simmons, Rosemary Harris, Kirsten Dunst, Cliff Robertson, Willem Dafoe, Gerry Becker, Bill Nunn, James Franco, Joe Manganiello, Michael Papajohn, Tobey Maguire and Jack Betts as well as others. The film tells about a nerdy boy who discovers changes in himself, and a little while after, a member of his family is murdered which causes him to go looking for the killer and finding something much, much worse. He finds friends, love, enemies and the truth about himself. The track features lead singers from two different bands as well as members from several others. Because of when it was released, the song became a spiritual and patriotic track after 9/11. The film: Spiderman (2002)

A Photo A Day … December 28 2012

I’ve been very busy today, so not able to go out. This is a photo that I took in September. The caption reads:

This Grappling iron is one of many used by the British sailors and Royal Marines to hold HMS Vindictive against The Mole during the Raid on Zeebrugge on the 23^rd April 1918
–
Made at Chatham Dockyard, it bears the scars it received during the fierce battle when the Raiding Parties landed in the face of heavy enemy gunfire at point blank range.
–
The Zeebrugge Bell above the Town Hall, is rung at noon on the anniversary each year by the Town Mayor to commemorate the raid, the success of which denied the enemy use of the Belgian canals for the remainder of the war.
–
Eight Victoria Crosses were awarded for a battle lasting only 70 minutes

This track is a fairly heavy one. 

This track comes from this band’s fifth album which had an eponymous name, but everybody gave it a different name which stuck. The track is the first one on the album and was released in 1991. Due to this single being released, the album became one of the few heavy metal bands to hit number one in the Billboard 200. The single hit number 16 in the billboard 100, and number 5 in the UK singles charts. It was nominated as Best Rock Song in the 34^th Grammy Awards in 1992, but lost out to Sting. The song takes a bedtime prayer and turns it into a terrifying nightmare ordeal.
