I have been somewhat aware of the existence of Imagine Dragons for a while now, seeing them played on various Pandora Radio stations, but it wasn’t until I started hearing their new song “Radioactive” played on commercials and television shows that I finally gave them a proper listen. I have been listening to their debut studio album Night Visions and, although it’s not metal whatsoever, I wanna tell you what I think about it. Continue reading »

I love Deftones! Their last album Koi No Yokan even landed in my Top 5 albums of 2012 (duh!) and it was for good reasons: amazing song writing and execution. There were tons of stand out songs on Koi No Yokan but one of my favorites was “Swerve City” which now has a music video to go along with it. Continue reading »

Okay, folks. By this point in the game, I don’t need to tell you that I am a huge fan of cover songs and all kinds of music. For nearly three years I have been telling you this and today my love of cover songs, pop-punk and Ramones all come together. I have loved Ramones for ages now. They were my first punk band, so I hold them very high on my scale, so when bands cover Ramones songs, I can be very, very picky. Usually those covers range from meh to not bad, excluding a few good covers. And then we get to New Found Glory. Continue reading »

Just a few day ago Alice In Chains released a new lyric video for their song “Stone” and now the band has returned with their second consecutive music video in promotion of The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here. Both of the singles from Alice In Chains‘ new record have completely blown me away and I am beyond stoked for the new album.
The band’s first music video was a very Space Odyssey-inspired piece about plants getting stoned. The second video is about people actually becoming stone. Some folks aren’t digging this video, but I really dig it. Even if you don’t like the video, the fucking song rules. Continue reading »

Loudwire have premiered another new track from Kylesa’s upcoming record, Ultraviolet. The track in question is a groove heavy, spiraling beast entitled “Vulture’s Landing”. Out of the tracks released so far, which include “Unspoken” and “Quicksand”, this is definitely my favorite. Feel free to stream this bad boy below and check out their North American tour schedule as well.
Ultraviolet will be released through Season of Mist on May 28th.

From the moment I heard the debut album from Ghost, I was in love. The band’s classic metal brand was unmistakably catchy and… Well, it was just awesome. When word started flying about the band’s follow-up Infestissumam, I knew I was going to love the album. Well, after my initial listen, yes I do love it. Continue reading »

In December of 2011 I won a contest on MetalSucks.net. The prizes were incredible and two of the CDs I discovered in the 200+ stack I got stuck with me to this very day. Those albums were the Sofy Major/Membrane split album and Sofy Major‘s Permission To Engage.
Both releases are amazing and they were my introduction to Sofy Major. Here we are, well over a year later, and I am still rocking these CDs. I have also become friends with the bands front man Mathieu Moulin. It is because of this dude that I am proud to stream a brand-spankin’-new Sofy Major track called “Comment” which comes off of the bands forthcoming album Idolize. As a little read-along, I also asked Mathieu a few questions. Peep it all after the jump. Continue reading »

Prepare to be weirded out by Shining’s (Norway) new music video for their track, “I Won’t Forget”. The eclectic jam comes from their new record One One One and is set to images of humanoids attached to Sci-Fi machinery in Matrix like fashion. One One One is quite the heavy hitter so I suggest you all check it out as soon as possible. You can stream the new video below!
