We Came As Romans are Mis/understood, Deftones hit Bodom
Yo yo yo, quick video update: We Came As Romans have just released a video for Mis/Understanding, and it’s hilarious. And very retarded, which adds even more laughs to the mix. Need I say the humor is completely unintentional? They’ve single-handedly made guitar spins uncool forever, synchronized crabcore jumps even funnier, and ruined the idea of a moshpit forever. Seriously, just what the fuck is going on at 2:22? I mean, if they brought some special ed class to the show, that’s awfully nice of them, but somehow I don’t think that’s the case, which makes it just awful.
Second video for today is a fan filmed footage of a Deftones show that took place in Helsinki. Why are we bothering with this one? Because Mr. Children of Bodom, Alexi Laiho, joined them on stage for the performance of Roots. Odd mix, and you can see the results after the jump.
Price To Pay video by Ace4Trays is a must-see
Only if you’re somewhere alone, though, because it’s kinda NSFW. Ace4Trays are a new Brazillian band, and you can find more info on them at their Facebook page (as well as a full download of their first album, Roll The Dice, which is nice of them).
Let’s go back to the video though — holy shit. I mean, it’s somewhere between haha and wtf, and I have no idea under the influence of what it was made, but I gotta try it one day. Don’t want to spoil too much, so see it for yourself, then let me know which boob moment was your favorite one. Mine was at 3:34.
Grab some popcorn, Design The Skyline have a new vido out!
Lulzies. I don’t know if I covered this band earlier or decided to go against it because giving any, even bad attention to this band is more than they will ever deserve, but I was bored now, so there you have it. The newest dancecore shitfest to get signed by Victory Records, the label that went from hardcore to neon-hair, skinny jeans, crabcore kids. Oh well.
This video is actually decent compared to their “breakthrough” one, Surrounded by Silence (you can watch that one bellow, I added it simply because I’m a dick). It’s still pretty horrible. I mean, I understand these are just kids somehow stuck in the Myspace era trying to score with girls who have dead racoons on their heads for hair, what I don’t understand are the people who put them as sitting ducks for sites like these to rip on.
Watch old people review The Black Dahlia Murder
Every metal site out there already covered this, so why shouldn’t we? Are we not good enough?
Anyway, the video above is a part of the web series called Breakfast at Sulimay’s, where three senior citizens review new music, including metal. This episode had The Black Dahlia Murder (skip to 4:40 mark), and I gotta say, I found it funny, especially because of the slow introduction. That grandma’s facial expressions when the heavy part kicked in is also priceless. Apparently, she liked it, but not as much as she likes “Murdoch” (Marduk). The two guys weren’t as supportive, but hey, I’m only 25 and I can’t stand the new stuff like dancecore.
Grandma’s also down with da Bizkit, and you can watch their review of Shotgun after the jump (the review starts at the 5:07 mark).
Tesseract, hard at work
Right off the news of the recent vocalist switch, Tesseract are hard at work again. Here you can see a video of them in the studio, retracking the upcoming single “Eden.” The video doesn’t show Eliot, instead, you can see two dogs in the studio. God, they’re really pushing the envelope when it comes to experimenting on the new album.
According to a recent Facebook post, they’re also appearing in this month’s issue of “Classic Rock presents Prog” magazine. I’m not interested in the slightest, but hey, it’s got Pink Floyd on the cover, which means it’s good, right?
