New Music/Video
Finger Eleven - Together Right https://youtu.be/ytXDpbXxwso
Empire State Bastard - Harvest https://youtu.be/S5Xjku-dYJ8 Dave Lombardo’s new band… actually pretty good.
Atreyu - God/Devil https://youtu.be/m1NBdUgCnq0 Next single from The Hope of a Spark EP. Good… but just not the band I fell in love with. The video further proof that these guys just love what they do.
Beartooth - Sunshine! https://youtu.be/m1NBdUgCnq0 Sonically these guys are super interesting.
Sevendust - Fence https://youtu.be/NixNsandZ34 THIS is how nu-metal ages well…
Tommy Vext - Face Breaker https://youtu.be/_umWxbhlPIw Divine Heresy, Bad Wolves… is this deathcore metalcore? Tommy almost sounds like deathcore Howard Jones.
Brand of Sacrifice - Between Death and Dreams https://youtu.be/vyO5ukNpg5c apparently this whole “cleans-in-deathcore” thing is not isolated?
