Dose of djentstep: The Algorithm
Take out your hipster badge and show it off proudly, because you’re in for a treat: The Algorithm have released a new single called Trojans.
You might remember the band from an article on djentstep I wrote last year, and if you want to know what a Nintendo would sound like being kicked around with an 8-string guitar, taped and then those sounds remixed by the likes of Skril-dawg, check out the song below.
The single has two other tracks and you can check them out on Basick Records BandCamp page.
Former Megadeth members get together
…and they’re jamming like there’s no tomorrow. Former Megadeth guitar player Jeff Young met up with band’s former bass player James LoMenzo, also joining them was drummer Jeff Bowders. This is unrelated to Young’s new project, Souls on 11, and it’s more of a “in the moment” type of thing. You get what I’m saying? They’re sending their chill vibes all over the place.
You can check the video above and for more of “young vibes” check out Soul on 11‘s ReverbNation page.
Attack Attack! have a new album. You know what this means?
Attack Attack!, the crabcore originators, are streaming their new album, This Means War via YouTube (thanks: ThePRP). You know what this means? Lame puns ahoy.
They be bringing “Revolution” to the local Hot Topic, yo! Don’t be hatin’! I actually listened to the song above, and it sounds like “metalcore meets My Chemical Romance,” so yeah, t’s like 1% better than their previous style which was roughly “metalcore meets Lil Wayne.”
You can listen to the whole album via a YouTube playlist by clicking on this link: Attack Attack! – This Means War
New Sol Invicto nearly out
Now for the sexiest news piece for today. Look up! Click here! Thank me in the comments, bitches.
Oh yeah, if you’re interested in the other bit, Sol Invicto are almost out with their second release, cleverly titled Initium II. In fact, if you’re in the band’s VIP section, you should have the preview track in your inbox right now.
Which begs me to ask the question:
WHY THE FUCK AM I NOT VIP???
Is it because I’d probably make fun of the track??? Actually, that’s kind of a fair point. Anyway, I am so disappointed, I’m thinking I should go wish Skrillex a happy birthday on his Facebook wall. You hear me Richie?! I thought we had something special :'(
Anyway dickwads, make sure to check the band’s Facebook page and follow them on Twitter to get the latest updates, or you know, check out this site because we’ll add that extra awesome™ to the news. Laters!
Architects announce UK headline tour
If you happen to be stuck in the UK this April, a few things might help you make it an interesting experience:
- beer (not UK related, helps everywhere)
- nunchucks (in case a riot occurs so you can be safe)
- seeing Architects live
The band has posted the dates for their April tour on their Facebook, the lineup also featuring Rolo Tomassi and Stray from the Path. If I weren’t too lazy, I’d type the dates myself, but I am… And I feel like I’m doing the band a favor as it is. You can see a photo with the dates after the jump though. Ain’t I nice?
