BlackGates release second song

I already love this band. BlackGates just released their second song/demo on Reverbnation yesterday and — just like ‘Seeds Of War’ — this song, called ‘Break,’ kills.

Don’t believe me? Listen to it below. You can also listen to ‘Seeds Of War’ while you’re at it. May aswell enjoy two great songs.

New Týr song

We have never posted about Týr before and now we’re about them two times within one day? Sure! That’s how we roll. At first we ignore you, then we cover you more than any other band.

But joking aside, Týr released a new song off of their upcoming album ‘The Lay Of Thrym’ called ‘Take Your Tyrant.’ Listen to it below or go here.

It’s awesome but don’t take it from me, listen to it for yourself!

Video of this Week: Týr

Týr own. Their album from 2009, ‘By The Light Of The Northern Star,’ is my personal favorite album of 2009. This is Folk Metal, the way I love it.

Týr are actually the most popular and successful band ever in their homecountry, the Faroe Islands. Now, that’s pretty impressive, right? Especially for a metal band. But you have to take into consideration that the Faroe Islands only have a population of about 50,000. My hometown has a bigger population. Hell, even Aruba has a bigger population.

But all that doesn’t really matter and take away anything of their success. They deserve it too, because they’re awesome. So is the music video for ‘Hold The Heathen Hammer High.’ I mean, these guys are vikings, sailing and preparing for a great battle and once they arrive on the shore, they fight… a wooden cross. What the hell? Well, at least it’s a great song.

Video of last Week: Six Feet Under

Somehow, I forgot to post a Video of the Week last week and I just noticed now. So it’s only fair to post two videos in a row, right? Right. So last week’s Video of the Week is Six Feet Under’s ‘The Day The Dead Walked.’

Why? Because it owns, fuck you. And ever since I watched SFU rip earlier this month, I’ve been hooked again. I remember playing this video non-stop when I first got introduced to Six Feet a couple of years ago. It’s still cheesy as fuck but I love it.

Bands I’ve somehow missed out on

Sometimes I’m so busy listening to the 5 bands I like (Pantera, Pantera, Pantera, Pantera, Machine Head), that I just miss out on new bands, so I decided to go out of my way and just listen to some random bands I’ve never heard of before.

I’ve listened to four bands that I’ve never heard of before and one band stood out, ‘The Absence.’ I’ve listened to their album ‘Riders Of The Plague’ and holy shit, it’s awesome. Do yourself a favor and listen to the song below.

What else did I miss out on? If you know a band, that hasn’t been covered on a lot of metal blogs etc., and they kick serious ass, tell me about them! I’m just a fan and I love to hear about new bands.
