Song of the Week: Achilles Last Stand

I have been having a bit of a Led Zeppelin fest of late, and borrowed the Presence album out from the library. It is a later album (1976) that I had not heard before, and though not as good as the earlier stuff, it's still pretty cool.

One song in particular, the opening track, Achilles Last Stand, is AWESOME! I can't believe I've never heard it before. Ten minutes and twenty-two seconds of old school metal-before-metal-was-metal goodness. I love the medieval feeling their music conjures up-- it makes me want to go and watch all those cool B-grade Sword and Sorcery movies from the 80's.
