New Music/Video
Green Day - The American Dream is Killing Me https://youtu.be/t1TDvy7djJg New album “Saviors” set for Jan 19 release. It’s so nice when multi-millionaires complain about struggles of the middle class. I think they are mixing metaphors in their video…
Duff McKagan - I Just Don’t Know - featuring Jerry Cantrell https://youtu.be/demhQVbn-YA third solo record called “Lighthouse” out now. A little trite lyrically, but pretty nice overall.
Rivers of Nihil - Hellbirds https://youtu.be/d9TyPPEdAIk FUN deathcore? Sure why not?
Ice Nine Kills - Meet & Greet https://youtu.be/1YP74fZlLA8 Silence of the Lambs. The final video for the Horrorwood series, from the third record. The more these kids put out, the better they get. PLUS, Bill Moseley. Welcome To Horrorwood: Under Fire, out October 20th via Fearless Records.
Dragonforce - Power of the Triforce https://youtu.be/K_Ln7VpB1c0 Dragonforce + Zelda? SWEET! new studio album 'Warp Speed Warriors' out March 15, 2024
Lord of the Lost - One Last Song https://youtu.be/KJXEwhjQ77k a little more goth a little less metal… still pretty great though.
Kat Von D - Vampire Love https://youtu.be/aa9CFRg9gfY meh… club fodder. Nothing exceptional.
