Are they evil?
Stupid post title puns aside, a clip of the Big Four performing “Am I Evil?” at their recent show in Indio, California has hit Metallica.com, and now, doseofmetal.com. You decide which one’s more important, and more metal.

Back on topic, the video is sort of raw footage, but the sound is more than decent, so make sure you hit that play button. What else? O yeah, James had a little speech, celebrating all the other “big however many” bands that didn’t make it in the business as well as them, and of course, a whole lot of touchy feely stuff when the other bands get on stage. I almost shed a tear. But then again, I’m not 13, and I only cry when I have sex.
Tuesday Trivia: Of skulls and bones
It’s Tuesday Trivia, almost Wednesday edition. So what do I have for you today?
Bones. Are they metal? Well, if you’re over 70, chances are that yes, they are, but we’re talking imagery here. If the most awesome site on the internet has a skull for a mascot (he’s called Bob by the way), and one of the most amazing writers has a skull sitting on his work desk (thanks Guido), it’s fair we I make an article about it. And it’s fair you make the jump.
Dose of Metal’s dose of metal
Aren’t we just awesome? While Guido was busy listening to new bands, I was busy copy/pasting posting freshly released music links. So what’s new?
VYGR have posted a new song to their Facebook page (note the URL), and it’s from their new cleverly named album Voyager. Why name the band in such a way that you’d need to name the album properly just so people would get it is beyond me.
Blindside, the band I once saw opening for Mudvayne (in 2003, you know, before this) and of which I have absolutely no memory of, also have something new. Go here if you’re interested in it.
Another band has something new. But this time, a whole album available for streaming. Above Symmetry‘s the name, above crap is the game. Hopefully, but I wouldn’t know anything about it because I’m too busy listening to Mudvayne right now.
Just kidding. You too.
Deranged have been pretty busy as well, and have come up with something for you to kill a few minutes of your time with. Click here.
Anvil have also been working hard. Unfortunately, it’s not a new documentary, but they have a new song. FukenEh!
That’s it…
NOT! Surprise round of new music videos after the jump.
Trivial teaser
Remember back in the day when Trivium were a bunch of teenagers and were praised because of their skills? Aaah. I bet they wish they could go back in time, because back then at least they had that. Well, I never bought any of it in the first place, but for all of you who are still interested in them (raise your hands while I use my fingers to count you all), they’ve posted a teaser for their upcoming album.
Black and white? Check. Automatically pretentious because of the first thing I mentioned? Check. Working (?) titles for songs, including “Black” and “Grey?” Inception style check. A song called “Inception” amongst those titles? Check within a check. Metal? Oooops.
Friday Bloodbath
Fridays have been ruined forever, but that doesn’t mean like you need to replay that song over and over again (like I do) then bitch how it sucks. Here’s something fucking real. Bloodbath have posted a song, “Eaten,” from their upcoming live CD/DVD online, and guess what? If you click that play button above, you can watch it.
