Daath doing well on the charts

Last week Daath released their latest Self Titled album and it sold roughly 500 copies in the United States. The album also made it to number 89 on the Top New Artist Albums Chart.  Serious?  500 copies?   They used to be on Roadrunner and currently on Century Media, so you would think they would sell at least 3000 this past week.

Baptized In Suck.

Are you into bands that start off as generic metalcore, then all of a sudden try to sound like Pantera and fail? If so, I suggest you check out this link.

In other news, the KFC I had for lunch was pretty good.

Clutch love extra cash

Hard rock veterans Clutch have a new album out January 2011. No, it’s not a new studio album. Just a reissue of  their 2004 album, “Blast Tyrant“. What’s going to be on this album? No details are out just yet, but I assume a few left over tracks from their last couple records. I hate when bands do this. To be fair, I’d do the exact same thing If I were in a band. Clearly I’m a huge hypocrite.

Tarja likes Christmas

Remember the original singer from Nightwish? Her name was Tarja Turunen. She was with Nightwish from 1996-2005. Nightwish actually did well in sales for a symphonic power metal band. The rest of the guys in the band didn’t care, instead fired her because she was a huge bitch. Since her departure from Nightwish, Tarja released two albums. Is her solo material any good? Does she play to more than 500 people a night? I have no idea.

I do know that she’s back touring. It’s not just any tour, it’s going to be a special Christmas tour. Tarja plans to perform in churches across Finland. She’s also bringing out a bunch of Finnish musicians who I have never heard of before.

Do you actually wanna go to this? Check out her official page to score tickets.

Bend it like Devin

We at Dose Of Metal have found you a new Devin Townsend video.  No, it’s not a new music video,  It’s a live video from Oct 28th of “Bend it Like Bender” and apparently was the first time he performed this song live in North America.
