Song of the Week: 12/31/06 - 01/06/07

The Song of the Week is:

The Gunslinger by Demons & Wizards


This is one of the songs off of Demons & Wizards' second album, Touched by the Crimson King, which makes many references to the characters and events from Stephen King's Dark Tower series of novels. Perhaps of all the songs on the album, this one stands out due to its slow, melodic pace in the first part, which then opens up into one of their hardest, fastest songs ever. Also, the ending is one of the greatest I've ever heard; and this is definitely one of those songs that just seems to be made for playing in a concert.
