I really got into Dream Theater's new album A Dramatic Turn Of Events when it first came out and then I found myself not listening to it as much after a few weeks but as soon as I checked out the new lyric video for "Build Me Up, Break Me Down" I realized it was time to go back and give it another spin.
Hey I ain't judgin'...if them dudes wish to explore the nether-regions of their mind then good on 'em. And far be it from me to encourage anything other than a hellraising lifestyle.
For my money, Mastodon is the best band to come out of the last ten-plus years and I just can't see them disappointing me any time soon. Yeah, I prefer Leviathan to anything they've done since but that doesn't take away from the fact that I love everything they've done so far...to me, every album just feels like a natural progression for the band.
Back in December, Evanescence filmed the video for ‘My Heart is Broken’ with director Dean Karr and now the day has come for fans to check out the final product with the official video premiere today.
January 24 is only a few days away but it can't get here soon enough. I'm always in line to pick up the new Lamb Of God album the day it comes out and Resolution is no exception.
I've read a couple of lukewarm reviews for the new album (most hark on the fact that it sounds like their other stuff, but c'mon man...seriously?) but that's never deterred me from picking up an album I've been counting the days for. I'll form my own opinion typically within a few listens and at this point I gotta say that "Ghost Walking" is everything I look for in a LOG tune.
I'll be honest - I haven't actually read the lyrics to "Lottery" but I'm betting they're a little deeper than just talking about getting screwed on a scratch-off.
Brutal Truth toss out a unique form of grind that gets crazier with every release and their new album End Time is about as crazy as anything I've heard from the band. In fact, it's actually been one of the hardest of their albums for me to get into because nothing from End Time has really stuck with me. Who knows, maybe it'll be one of those that I "get" a little ways down the road and find myself really diggin'.
Just in time for my visit with Sven, Aborted have released the official video for "Origin of Disease". There's not really much to say that wasn't covered in the headline so enjoy Aborted throwing down while a priest prepares to deflower a young lady.
I'll be the first to admit that I've been pretty hard on Morbid Angel since they released what was supposed to be the triumphant return of David Vincent, Illud Divinum Insanus. But to be quite honest with you, most of the album is pretty good...it's just that there are a couple of experimental tracks that have no business anywhere near a Morbid Angel album but fear not - "Existo Vulgore" is not one of those tunes.
Chevelle's a band that I didn't get into until late in their career. I had heard the name kicked around for years but never really checked 'em out until I heard "I Get It" on the radio. I had heard a couple of songs before that in passing but "I Get It" was the song that me "get it" (bad pun) when it came to Chevelle so I picked up Vena Sera and that pretty much sealed the deal for me.
Okay, maybe it's not a church since I don't see any religious symbols but it definitely resembles one. And you have to admit it makes for the perfect setting for an Immolation video seeing as they're far from religious.
Okay, okay...so I get my wallet chains and the occasional vinyl from Hot Topic, but let's face it - kind of like the Twilight movies, Hot Topic is not taken very seriously in most circles comprised of individuals over the age of eighteen. As the saying goes, "It is what it is."
Speaking for myself it's been a long wait to hear some new Lamb Of God, well the wait is finally over! The new disk "Resolution" will be in stores & online Tuesday, January 24th (01-24-12) The first single from the new C.D. "Ghost Walking" is a blistering, balls out, bombastic, full out sonic assault as only Lamb Of God can deliver! If this song represents the album "Resolution" & I have a feeling it does, what's to come early next year will be nothing short of an epic magnum opus! Rarely if ever does a metal band find any form of mainstream success while maintaining their core sound, Lamb Of God is an exception to that rule.
Man I'm getting deeper and deeper into Vallenfyre with every listen to their new album A Fragile King.
Their timing is perfect in that typically I listen heavily to three or four albums at a time and they're usually all from different genres and right now, Vallenfyre's got the old school doom/death metal covered as far as my stereo goes.
