Insomnium – Shadows of the Dying Sun
I’d list the standout tracks, but there are too many to mention. The music is soaring and epic. The singing wavers between growling, screaming, and singing, but it never overpowers the music.
These guys are HUGE in Finland, and their albums shoot to the top of the charts every time.
If you want more from your metal, check out Insomnium!
The Awesome Challenge Themes feature begins at the A to Z Blog today. Kicking it off is David Powers King, who had an awesome music theme.
Out today!

Cover Reveals!
Book II in the steampunk series, The Mechanica Wars
By Jay Noel

The agony of a failed quest haunts Kanze Zenjiro, but the betrayal by those he once trusted has turned his world upside down…
By Tyrean Martinson
Release date – June 2, 2014
By PK Hrezo
The Butterman Travel sequel
Invasion of the B Movies!
What’s not to dig about this over-the-top horror-monster thriller? A group of hijackers have chartered a boat and intend on robbing a stranded cruise ship, but giant, deep-sea creatures have got there first…
There are so many great one-liners and funny dialogue. Treat Williams and Kevin O’Connor are both hysterical.
In a scene where O’Conner and Wes Studi are being chased by the giant creatures:
Studi: The only way to slow ‘em down is to feed ‘em!
O’Conner: FEED ‘EM? The only thing I got is a wet stick of gum and a breath mint!
The film is also unbelievably gory.
Directed by Stephen Sommers, Deep Rising is a fun, cheesy popcorn flick!
Have you listened to Insomnium? Participating in the A to Z Road Trip? Excited about new books? And what cheesy B film do you really dig…?
I am back to my Monday only (with IWSG Wednesday) schedule now. I will also be taking some time off during the week from blogging while I complete and edit my current manuscript. If I miss anything awesome, please send me an email! And yes, I did enjoy a few days off this past weekend.
And I just found out this morning from Nancy Thompson that CassaStorm was nominated in Science Fiction for the eFestival of Words 2014 Best of the Independent eBook Awards!!!!
First! Never seen Deep Rising, but I imagine the Famke comment goes with, well, comment.
ReplyDeleteAlso, second, because that was supposed to read "without." *panda walk of shame*
ReplyDeleteCongrats Jay and Mel. David's theme rocked, it was fun to visit. I'll be able to do the road trip better in June.
ReplyDeleteI love me a good cheesy B movie sometimes! Sometimes you just need the laughs haha. Have a good week editing the manuscript Alex.
ReplyDeleteheh...i will have to check out insomnia.....that first book cover of the mechania series is pretty cool....and i def love me some b movies....smiles.
ReplyDeleteWow! Lots of news!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the book club choice and the award.
Thank you very much for the release day mention.
You rock, Alex! No pun intended. :)
Haven't seen a B movie in a while, but you're right--they can be a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the book of the month pick!
YAY!!! Congrats to you Alex for CassaStorm being nominated for Best Independent eBook!! What a Thrill!
ReplyDeleteSy Fy is a my favorite channel for horror B movies. They've got some of the best, but they also got the worst too. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your nomination for the eFestival of Worlds award.
Congrats to you for having CassaStar selected for reading and CassaStorm nominated!
ReplyDeleteSo many books coming out. Yay to all the authors!
I'm not into gore so I think I'll skip that movie... :)
Congrats on CassaFire selected book of the month and for CassaStorm being nominated. Deep Rising is loaded with laughs for a horror flick. It's one of my favorite B movies to watch. Now I'll have to pull out my DVD and watch it again. :) Congratulations to all those with new releases and cover reveals.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on CassaaStar being chosen by of the reading groups at Good. Reads, that's amazing!
ReplyDeleteYou should give yourself a pat on the back! I am so happy for you.
Congratulations Alex on the nomination, that's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love Deep Rising! Nothing wrong with a little easy-watching now and then.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the cover reveal mention. Congrats to everyone with releases and other reveals.
Awesome news about your nomination!
Deep! Rising was pure cheese - just right to go with the popcorn. Excellent choice. However, I'm going to have to go with Tremors. "I've been deNIED critical need to know information! *I* am out of AMMO! OMG he's hysterical, the dad from Family Ties, and then Reba McIntyre as his wife. The original preppers. And don't forget KEVIN BACON!
ReplyDeleteWowsa, that book of your is just racking up the rewards! Congrats. Off to check out David's music theme. Good look with the writing!

Not sure I even know what a b movie is...though I'm in need of a good one to watch!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing about my book release and congrats on your nomination!
Oh, and yes, do stop by and find out about the Road Trip. Heather (bringing Stormy of course!), Nicole and I are hosting this meandering journey through the list at whatever pace fits your style. All the info following Alex's link, or the one below in my signature.

Great news on your writing success, Alex! And congrats to every one with cover and book releases!
ReplyDeleteMadeline @ The Shellshank Redemption
It's absolutely wonderful how well your book is doing, I am so pleased for you.
ReplyDeleteLots of good books coming out which I probably just won'g get round to reading sadly.
Hi Alex - Don't tempt me with the Road TRIP _ CAN@T YOU TELL MY KEYBOARD@S GONE BONKERS AGAIN?
ReplyDeleteI WATCHED Melissa's "Come Back" trailer - really awesome. WOW! (My keyboard has returned). I wish her every success.
See you on Mondays.
Tony, I knew what you meant!
ReplyDeleteMelissa, you're welcome!
Suzi, yes they do.
Mason, that make you uber-cool.
Jay, you're welcome!
Tina, that was my other choice, but the host had suggested that one, so went with Deep Rising instead.
Laura, you're welcome.
Thanks everyone!
My favorite B movie is Hardware, which has elements of Terminator but is a more horrific and fun little movie.
ReplyDeleteSo glad your book got picked on Goodreads. That's so awesome and will get your book out to new readers.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on winning the award!! This is awesome. I am also glad you have some time to take off as you are such a busy man. Thanks for the help btw, my client deeply appreciated it and he head of Howlin Wolf. If you can I would really appreciate it if you could look at my newest post (pssst it's for you as I felt you earned it)
ReplyDeleteoh and gosh-love all the 50's B movies-one of my favs is Attack of the Killer Shrews.
ReplyDeleteCongrats all around, for CassaStorm's nomination and CassaFire for may and your award from Tara.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Alex! Thanks for all the news and links. The Road Trip sounds like a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI love Tommy Wiseau's "The Room," but that might actually be a C or D movie, depending on who you ask.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love that metal has so many subgenres. It's never just, "What are you listening to?" "Metal." It's always, "What are you listening to?" "Norwegian melodic grindcore black post-metal."
haha Deep Rising pretty much ripped off everything going. But it was sure fun, although ended on a friggin cliffhanger type thing.
ReplyDeleteNo Escape, Hot Pursuit, City Limits, Take This Job and Shove It are some that pop in for me.
thank you for sharing the Finnish Metal band... I had a phase of my life that lead me to that style of music. Which always leads me back to score music... I think I had seen Deep Rising... it's been awhile. I love B-films... picking just one... oh my. Happy time needed... thank you for all you do!
ReplyDeleteHope to start the Road Trip this week. I did mark a few blogs to return to and enjoy at leisure. Thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on all the good news for Cassa Storm and Cassa Fire. You're on Fire!
Mmm, I never heard of Imsomnium, but I'm still lost in the 50s.
ReplyDeleteSome great new books out, wish I had time to read them all.
Congratulations on the Awards nomination. Good luck.
Congrats to you and Nancy for being nominated! That's awesome. And congrats to everyone with books out and cover reveals. Lots of news today. Love your movie pick! I haven't seen it in a while. Made me laugh to think about it.
ReplyDeleteFinnish death metal, eh? That sounds oddly appealing. My favorite B Movie is The Blob. Man, I loved that movie as a kid.
ReplyDeleteCOngrats on your nomination!
I'll have to listen to the Finnish band.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on so much good news on your Cassas. So rewarding.
Congrats on your award! I just watched The Final Countdown for the first time last night. Kinda fun, but that ending ... what a letdown of the buildup. And it had cheese.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for the interview, Alex! :)
Congrats to you on CassaStorm and to everyone with new releases!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your nomination and good luck with edits!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the CassaStorm news! \o/
ReplyDeleteHUGE congrats on your nomination!! WOW! You're a total winner!!
ReplyDeleteAnd yay to all these fab book covers and publications!! Whatever happened to Treat Williams!?!
I so want to see this B-movie!! LOL!!
Take care

Congrats on the book of the month! And some really good looking books in the Ninja news. I will NEVER get through the TBR stack when folks keep adding so much good stuff!
ReplyDeleteYou should be so proud, Alex. Life is good, you're a good guy, and awards are coming your way. Yay. Congratulations! You, my captain, are a winner!
ReplyDeleteInsomnium sounds good. Love me some heavy metal!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the CassaFire and CassaStorm selection & nomination! Good news.
ReplyDeleteYes, Insomnium is a very interesting band! I like! There is another band from Finland, Stratovarius, I also like!
ReplyDeleteHey, Alex! Thank you for participating in my blogathon! Your pick was awesome and definitely something I will have to check out! A link to your post will be added to the blogathon page. :D
ReplyDeleteYay to all our published authors-- thanks for featuring them.
ReplyDeleteTed, I remember seeing Hardware in the theater. Weird film.
ReplyDeleteBirgit, glad Jeremy was able to help and I will go look - thanks!
Brandon and Bryan, I'd listen to that genre.
Pat, shame they never made a sequel.
Jeremy, you should listen to them.
Hart, that made me chuckle...
David, yes it did! Saw that one in the theater.
Kat, neither will I!
Joylene, thank you.
Leovi, they are awesome!! Both bands are great. You rock.
Katy, thanks for hosting!
Thanks, everyone.
Par for the course, I have no idea who this Finnish band is. Have you noticed that our musical tastes run on parallel lines???? Ha!
ReplyDeleteI also didn't see the B-rated movie you mentioned. Not surprising. I haven't seen a whole bunch of A movies that are on my list. Egads.
Lastly... CONGRATS to you on the nomination!
Thanks so much for featuring Mamas Write on your blog today (although looks a little out of place, lol). Fingers crossed that CassaStorm wins the award but how fantastic to be nominated. Will check out the roadtrip. Thanks again Alex :)
ReplyDeleteMelodic death metal? That feels contradictory to me. But I am intrigued, so I shall check them out.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on CassaStorm's nomination!
1) Congratulations on CassaStorm! I hope it wins Best Independent Ebook.
ReplyDelete2) Congratulations to Jay Noel. That's a fantastic cover. I loved his first book so this is incredibly exciting.
3) I think I saw Deep Rising once and didn't see what you saw in it.
Cool news about your book!
ReplyDeleteLee
Tossing It Out
I'm so excited to read Melissa's book!
ReplyDeleteLots of great stuff going on. Congratulations to everyone on their releases and cover reveals, and to you on the CassaStorm nomination. Best of luck.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the manuscript edit!
ReplyDeleteBig congrats on your nom, Alex!! And thanks so much for including Induction Day today! :)
ReplyDeleteInsomnium is good! I particularly like The Primeval Dark and Shadows of the Dying Sun because both songs remind me of my current manuscript. Ah...now I feel like writing! Thanks for the inspiration! Good luck editing!
ReplyDeleteNIGHTWISH is more to my taste but it is a similar band. I have always loved DEEP RISING almost as much as I love TREMORS. :-)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if my old favorite spinning instructor has heard Insomnium. He played mostly classic metal and hard rock during class, and liked some modern metal as well. I hope the spinners at his classes in his new gym in Florida appreciate his soundtrack as much as I did.
ReplyDeleteElftastic News Alex! Congratulations!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS!! Your nomination is so exciting! I hope you're a finalist!
ReplyDeleteI think the A-Z road trip is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteYou totally deserve to be showered with awards!
ReplyDeleteSo many good books! I must read faster and faster!!
Best of the B's...I'll have to say Godzilla vs. Mothra (was that the title?) I remember staying up all night watching Godzilla movies with my cousin...he had cable long before I did. Good times.
Congratulations on the Goodreads book of the month award! Deep Rising sounds like a fun movie with a great cast!
ReplyDeleteJulie
Wow so much good news! Congrats.
ReplyDeleteSome great new books. Congrats on the nomination and the book of the month.
ReplyDeleteI've had a thing for Treat Williams ever since the movie Hair.
Love Jay's cover!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the nomination, Alex!
So you win these awards and they don't even tell you? That's... weird.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a huge fan of metal, but I'm curious about Insomnium. I'm going to have to check them out! Also, congrats on having CassaFire selected as book of the month!
ReplyDeleteWhodathunk you and my hubs would share the sane taste in death metal? And may we both, and all our friends, make it through to the next round of nominations!
ReplyDeleteDeep Rising, now I want to check it out! I love funny dialogue!
ReplyDeleteI'm participating in the A to Z Road Trip, I need it after the steady fast pace go we had in April . . . thank goodness its at my own leisure, though, phew! I'll go check out the A to Z blog now.
Congrats on CassaFire being selected as book of the month on Goodreads!!!!!
Congratulations on your nomination, Alex. Fingers crossed you get it. When will find out?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear you're back at your editing but I'll miss seeing you post so much. Funny what we get used to in one month. But, I'm down to twice a week too. Maybe once a week when kids get out of school. Haven't decided just yet.
Enjoy your week!
Great choice in B-movie!
ReplyDeleteI am still suching my videos to come up with one that would work, I have way too many!
Congrats on CassaFire being Book of the month.
I grew up on B movies. I've probably seen more B movies than anything else, actually.
ReplyDeleteRobin, I'm pretty sure my music would scare you.
ReplyDeleteClaire, you're welcome! And not out of place at all.
MJ, that is the best way to describe it.
Michael, one word - Famke.
PK, you're welcome, and sorry it's late.
Cindy, you rock!
Roland, same vibe, only more gore, right?
Carrie-Anne, it might scare a few...
Elizabeth, that's why I think you are awesome.
Andrew, this one's just a nomination.
Nancy, that is awesome! And hope you will all four categories. Thanks for letting me know about CassaStorm.
Elsie, no idea! Yeah, I surprised myself that I could post about so much every day.
Thanks, guys!!
Woohoo. Congratulations on the CassaStorm nomination, Alex!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a B-flick blogfest. I'm starting to think about it.
Be well.
xoRobyn
Wow, PK's a fast writer! Good for her to have the sequel out already. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteI'm seeing Melissa's book all over the blogosphere, so congrats to her her as well.
And Alex, congrats on the award. You so deserve it.
Still king of blogging i see! Congrats on your eFestival of Words awards!!!! Yes, the Alex does need to spend time with other stuff other than blogging. Glad to see you stretch your legs!
ReplyDeleteIt was the sight of all those lonely old men sitting alone in the brewery and drinking beer so early in the day that got to me, Alex. It bothers me deeply. I do stop and try to chat whenever possible, but I can't heal the world.
ReplyDeleteSo great to find your blog!
ReplyDeleteHappy blitz!!
Huge congrats to Jay and Laura!
ReplyDeleteAny cheesy 80s horror movie will do the trick for me :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the nomination! I hope you win. Let us know what happens.
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy a cheesy movie that doesn't take itself too seriously. Jet skis also help.

Wonderful news about your nomination!
ReplyDeleteLots of exciting stuff out there right now. I'm a little unfocused and have to get my crap together!
Heather
Robyn, join us!
ReplyDeleteElizabeth, I'm trying.
Clarissa, I will!
Moody, this one is perfect for you.
Congrats for all the great news about your Cassa books!
ReplyDeleteI really like Jay Noel's covers. So appealing.
ReplyDelete"The singing wavers between growling, screaming and singing.." And to think I wanted so badly to be a singer. Seems I could have a huge success in death metal. Too bad it drives me nuts. Bummer.
You deserve the award Alex! On another note, hooray Jay!
ReplyDeleteSo many great books have been coming out lately.
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS on your nomination!!!! How wonderful! :)
P.S. Happy Blitz Day!
Congratulations on your nomination, Alex! I will have to check out Insomnium. Cheesy movies ~ I loved Tremors! I've watched it over and over ~ scares me every time. LOL!
ReplyDeleteLots of good books coming out!!
ReplyDeleteDeath metal, yay!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for Melissa. She's put in so much hard work, it's nice to see it pay off.
Good luck with your MS!
Congrats, Alex!!! Oh, and I just watched "Doll Squad" on TV and immediately ordered it. It's wonderful.
ReplyDeletemelodic death metal...is there such a thing? ;) (naughty me)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all authors with the new releases :)
Congrats Alex!! YOU deserve it~
ReplyDeleteCongrats on those amazing covers~
I am always a fan of all things related to shadows ;D
I love me some metal...whoa, sounds amazing!
Al, sorry!!
ReplyDeleteChrys, thanks. Crap, am I being Blitzed...?
Fundy, great movie.
Lynda, they really pull it off!
Thanks everyone.
I too am planning to do the A to Z road trip. But haven't signed up yet.
ReplyDeleteCongratz on the award.
Happy editing and congrats on being nominated. Very exciting!!
ReplyDeleteThe A to Z Road Trip, will sign to that! Can well look up those missed earlier. And Congrats for CassaFire award and CassaStorm nomination. You sure are going places, Alex! Well done! Have the well deserved break!
ReplyDeleteHank
Read your interview on GR today. Nice! And I hope you enjoy working on your edits . . . some people love them and some people hate them. Insomnium is a band I'm actually familiar with, and was just now able to impress my 18yo by telling him about your review of the newest release. Thank you for making me sound informed! :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the Goodreads honor, which of course you deserve.
ReplyDeleteI'm so not a metal person, but maybe I can check out Insomnium.
It sounds like Deep Rising has some better dialogue than a lot of the more serious movies. But I could only watch it by fast forwarding through the gory parts.
Wow, congrats on your nomination!!
ReplyDeleteBooks and covers from some of my favorite people!! Big congrats on the Space Opera Fan book of the month selection of CassaFire!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm just a wee bit early, but I'm so glad you were finally chosen to be blitzed! You're so very deserving of it.
Your nicely done review persuaded me to check out Insomnium and I was not disappointed. I love the guitars! I'm not so much about the guttural vocal though, so I'm curious if there is a metal genre that's not so much death??
ReplyDeleteAh, well ...
Congrats on the Goodreads nomination, and the Faithful Commenter Award. Both are well-deserved!
Kirsten @ A Scenic Route
Happy Blitz day! And congrats on the Faithful Commenter award.
ReplyDeleteYou have been weighed, you have been judged, and you have been found WORTHY! :)
Much love
I'm stopping by a second time to wish you a Happy Blitz Day!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the Independent eBook nomination and the Faithful Commenter Award!
ReplyDeleteMelissa's cover is rocking!
Congrats to Laura, Jay, Tyrean & PK!

ReplyDeleteOh, and Happy Blog Blitz! xxx
Happy Blitz Day, Alex.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your support.
No one is more deserving of an awesome BLITZ day than you, my friend.
ReplyDeleteYou are so supportive of the blog-i-verse. It's only right that we support you back!
Have a great day!
BAZINGA! You've been BLITZED!
Heather
A couple things. 1)PK's book cover for her sequel is amazing, and I'd venture to say even better than the original. 2) Deep Rising is one of my B-movie favorites as well!
ReplyDeleteAnd I guess this is more than a couple, but 3)you've been BLITZED! Thanks for everything you do!! :)
Congrats in the award! And on being the pick of the month. Glad to see Jay's second book coming out soon.
ReplyDeleteHank, I know I missed a lot during the Challenge.
ReplyDeleteLynda, thanks for reading the interview. And glad I could make you sound hip and intelligent in front of your teen.
Helena, you would watch most of the movie on fast forward...
Kirsten, glad you like them. My wife said the same thing about the vocals, but the music is just so amazing.
Michelle, that would be scary!
DL - much appreciated! You the man.
Thanks, everyone! Wow, this will be a wild day...
Good morning, and happy Blitz Day! :)
ReplyDeleteLots of good news! Looking forward to Laura's new release! :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome that you had a couple days off! It's nice to get back to a regular schedule too. Looking forward to checking out the A to Z Road Trip, great idea. Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteBack again to say Happy Blitz Day! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the nomination! And way to go ninjas.

ReplyDeleteI heard an interview with Insomnium about a month or so ago. Interest group. I only heard two of their songs but son thinks they're awesome.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll skip Deep Rising. Hubs would love the one liners though. Congrats to Melissa, Claire, Tyrean, PK, and Laura. Jay's book looks great!
Excellent news on CassaStorm!

ReplyDeleteIt's probably really a D movie, but nothing compares to Star Crash. It's amazing... SharkNado is at the top of my list, too.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blitz!
After receiving the eFestival of Words 2014 nomination in SciFi, I bet you thought your week couldn't get much better. Wrong!!!

ReplyDeleteI'm on the road trip, but need to get my post up! Instead I'm here reading yours, oh well. I guess I really liked "Billy Jack" as a cheesy B movie, or "The Legend of Boggy Creek," or "The Blob," which actually did scare me to death the first time I saw it at age eleven! Okay, now to get back to my road trip post!
