I danced with the devil and I've got to say he's not so tough.

This blog focuses mostly on new songs less than a year old but an exception is being made for "Live from Hell" by Glowbug on the album Fantasma Del Tropico. It's an obscure alt-rock song with sounds of steel drums giving it that Caribbean island vibe. But that's not it. This song features Eddie Hermida, the screamo vocalist of the deathcore metal band, Suicide Silence. This is the first screamo song to be listed on this blog.

"To all the heathens, demons...I have got a feeling we'd get along, so shout GIVE ME YOUR WORST...LOVE 'TIL IT HURTS!"

This could very well be one of the softest screamo songs you've heard but it just works; it's catchy. The lyrics are pretty dark considering the island-enthused sounds too.

"I DANCED WITH THE DEVIL AND I'VE GOT TO SAY he's not so tough."

Of course a Caribbean-inspired song needs to be paired with a Caribbean-inspired beer. There may not be any year-round nationally-available beers to complete this pairing so we must also make an exception for the chosen beer. But if you have the rare opportunity to drink Caribbean Chaser by Elder Pine, the imperial fruited saison with a 10 percent ABV, you will not be disappointed.

"HERE IT COMES. LOOK. TIME. RUN. HIDE. OH MY GOD!"

Elder Pine describes Caribbean Chaser as tart, tropical, and relatively full-bodied despite having very little residual sugar post-fermentation. It has an insane amount of pineapple, curuba, and naranjilla which is a combination of fruits you may never experience in another beer.

"Can you hear me now? I'm screaming deep into the farthest molten lava layers of hell."

And if you you're able to visit the taproom in Gaithersburg, MD, you'll be happy to know many metalheads work at and visit the brewery. In fact, Elder Pine even has a series of beers called "Constellations" which are brewed in collaboration with August Burns Red, a well-respected metalcore band.

At the time of writing this post, Caribbean Chaser is not available at Elder Pine so you'll just have to be on the lookout for when/if they release it again!

There's a picture on the wall of Kanye West.

"Freaking Out," the psychedelic pop-rock song by The Wrecks, gets pretty weird… "In the bathroom, on my back, there's a picture on the wall of Kanye West. He's staring at me; he's staring at me. I'm freaking out; I'm freaking out." …as weird as an IPA labeled with a tiger shooting rainbow-lasers out of his eyes. Elysian's Dayglow IPA pairs perfectly with the odd sounds The Wrecks bring us in this new single. "I'm on the lawn. It's almost 3:00. I look around; I look at her; she looks at me. She's suspicious; she's suspicious. I'm freaking out; I'm freaking out." The lyrics and the sounds of the keyboard will automatically have you thinking, "this is weird." And even more so if you listen to the guitar rift in the first second as you stare at your newly found Dayglow bottle. But then you take a sip. It's crisp, a little juicy, and oh my—is that pineapple? Yes, it is! Now your on to the cho

Sometimes the only way out is as a carcass.

You're in the Mafia and you made a deal with the devil. You promised to follow through but you got caught. Now you're going to court and you can't bring up who you're working with. If you do, it's the end of you. "I bet my billionth bottom dollar on a hopeless case and now the devil on my shoulder has a knife to my face." Maybe it's time to talk to daddy. After all, he has connections. He can get you out of anything. But then again, if he helps you, you will pay. No, not with money; you're broke after paying your lawyer. You'll pay with something much more severe, most likely your life. "Sometimes the short end of the stick is the sharpest. Sometimes the only road to take is the darkest. Sometimes all you gotta say is 'Daddy, make it go away.' Sometimes the only way out is as a carcass." After talking to daddy, you find it's in your best interest to stay away from him and his workers. You go back to court and the police as

Dance for me.

"Dance Monkey" by Tones and I on their only release so far, The Kids Are Coming, is truly unique. Enjoy this fresh new song with the fresh and fun Belgian-style tripel, Golden Monkey, by Victory Brewing Company, based in Downingtown, PA. "Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me." There's that one person at the bar you want to have an exhilarating experience with; that could be a dance. That's what this song is all about. You know your paths will separate at some point but you should enjoy the moment while it's right in front of you. "I've never seen anybody do the things you do before. They say move for me, move for me, move for me and when you're done I'll make you do it all again." Belgian tripels are not so different. Savior the moment. These beers are hard to come by at a lively bar but they are a great choice. They're strong so it'll last you awhile before having to wait in line at the bar again but they are also
