Yeah, Charlemagne, Mastodon did Leviathan.
new Sword album
Whoa, I didn't realize they had a new one. Warp Riders is one of my favorites...feels very soundtracky. You might also be insterested in this interview about J.D. Cronise's songwriting process. Heavily inspired by narrative.

I was thinking of Warp Riders as the 'new Sword album'. And not quite book soundtracks, but thanks to The Hold Steady I discovered Nelson Algren, who's good if you like noir with less style and more grit.

new Sword album
It's called Apocryphon, and I've bee driving around Sydney late at night listening to it in my car. Very loudly. And yes, as the father of a small child, my car is my listening room.
The opening line of the opening track is, I believe, "Set adrift in the mulitiverse by the wheels of fate." It sets the tone.

Which reminds me of my favorite musician/author collaborator, Micheal Moorcock, who worked with Blue Oyster Cult (Veteran of the Psychic Wars, Black Blade) and Hawkwind (Master of the Universe, plus a bunch of other bands.

Hadn't heard of this and it's very cool, thanks. Awesome headphone food.
Am I strange that I find these completely relaxing?

Yep. As it happens, I'm dipping into The Stealer of Souls as a palette cleanser after slogging through the plotless tedium of Huaruki Murakami's 1Q84
I have a thing for Moorcock cover artwork of the 70's, but that's another thread perhaps.

These are great, thanks!
A friend of mine has specific soundtracks that she likes to listen to with different sci-fi novels. I'll see if any of these overlap...

I think a lot of metal bands do this; wasn't a Mastodon album based on Moby Dick? The new Sword album feels like a book soundtrack.
