Musical Interlude: "Shudder Before the Beautiful" by Nightwish

Nightwish, one of my favorite symphonic metal bands, recently released a new album. Endless Forms Most Beautiful celebrates the wonders of the natural world with songs such as "Shudder Before the Beautiful", "Endless Forms Most Beautiful", and "The Greatest Show on Earth". The song "Weak Fantasy" criticizes fundamentalism and its life-negating edicts.

Here's a fan video of "Shudder Before the Beautiful". May it fill you with exhilaration at being a child of the universe.

    That's a great piece of work. The people who made this know a lot. I'll be checking out some of the other videos.
