Weak Recap: We’re bringing sexy back
Another week behind us, another week of total metal kickassery. “But hey Simo, this week hasn’t been that special really…” – I hear some of you saying, and to clarify, when I say kickassery, I mean the way we’ve covered everything. Hell, we could comment on funerals or people sleeping and make it sound interesting as hell.
Kids, prepare your tissues and toilet paper, Mark and I are taking a trip down the memory lane, and it’s going to be sexy.
Free shit, stream shit, video shit
Who can say no to free shit? Well, me, in case someone literally offers me a bucket of free shit. Or a Linkin Park CD. I’d reconsider the bucket in that case. You know what this means though, I’ve gone through some new music and I’m here to share. Dose of Metal, just like The Pirate Bay, only legal, and less nerdy. Or just legal.
Make the jump to get the dose of new tracks, and in case you’re wondering what the video above is, it’s our buddies from Chile, Nuclear (which I’ve interviewed and reviewed before) and their new video, Criminal Solicitation.
Tuesday Trivia: The most expensive metal video
Lately, Dose of Metal was going all retro on your ass and revisiting some dying trends, so we posted a few music videos here and there. We also reported on Papa Roach. Get it, their trend died out a long time ago. Oh, we did it only for the lulz. Your mother as well.
Have you ever wondered though, which music video is the most expensive metal video of all times? I have, I checked, and I’m bringing you the info, right after the jump.
Can you guess what the new Morbid Angel album is like?
Guess which of the following is true: When asked about the new Morbid Angel album Illud Divinum Insanus, David Vincent called it:
a) heaviest one they ever made
b) best one they ever made
c) masterpiece
And the correct answer is: c) masterpiece. Wow, the guy is really trying to sell it. Like, more than the usual (answers a and b). Can we blame him, though? How many times have we called this site and ourselves awesome and amazing? Too many times to count. But in our case, it’s 110% true. In his case, it’s just an excuse for us to make an awesome article out of it. Amazing.
Arch Enemy is (not) a female fronted band
Which confirms my thoughts that Angela Gossow is in fact a guy. Just kidding lolz, but she did have a say on the whole thing, and here it is:
“What does it mean? That the singer has tits! [Laughs] It doesn’t say anything about the music, or the quality of the musicianship, and that’s something that we’ve always tried to sail around and avoid. It’s a bad thing for us, and other bands go well with it and it’s okay if they’re comfortable with it, but we’re not a ‘female-fronted’ band. We’re an extreme metal band, and that’s all I want us to be remembered as.”
Okay, I agree to the message she’s trying to put out, dumb labels are dumb, but let’s get this straight, if you’re a chick fronting a band, you’re by basic logic a “female fronted band.” You might be extreme, you might be great, you might be shit, but unless you whip out your dick anytime soon, Angela, your band is female fronted.
