Hey everyone! Do you like disco? Because we’re doing a weird spin on a disco classic today, with the Turisas version of Rasputin! That’s right, vikings playing metal disco. Just, don’t worry about it, it’s great. Trust me. Now I’ve done a bit more with this cover than just what the guitars are playing in the original recording. Decided to also play some of the violin pieces, added an octave or two to the main… Continue reading
Hey everyone, and welcome back to the Utility Muffin Research Kitc– wait. No, that’s the wrong place. Let’s try that again. Hey everyone, and welcome back to Okzygen Studios, where we’re embarking on another journey through time as we embrace the wild madness of one Frank Zappa!

Hey Everyone! We’re turning the clocks back a bit further than normal today and jamming out to Hallowed Be Thy Name, by Iron Maiden. This group definitely got me started on this guitar journey and this path down the dark side of metal. I remember finding this record among my parents collection and essentially annexing it as my own, spending hours on end flipping this record over and over again while hiding in my room.… Continue reading
Well hello there. It’s been a while. I’ve been a bit preoccupied with the dealings of life and the living, but it’s time to get back to work. Over the next few weeks there’s going to be some changes on the site here, some trimming of the fat and streamlining of things to help accommodate a somewhat new direction in efforts. Hopefully this will also mean more regular updates as I’ll be shifting focus onto… Continue reading
