Black Dahlia Murder give you another new song

Another new track from extreme break-dancing death-inspired applecore band Black Dahlia Murder has made its way onto the interwebz.

The exclusive stream of ‘Malenchanments Of The Necrosphere’ (I think that means ‘death is awesome’ or ‘Dose of Metal is awesome’ or ‘Mark is awesome in bed.’ Something like that) from the Black Dahlia Murder‘s new album, Ritual (out June 21) can be listened to over at Alt Press.

Trent Reznor gets in on the covers

There’s something about today and Led Zeppelin‘s ‘Immigrant Song’ because not only have Enslaved covered it, but now Trent Reznor has got in on the action.

So you’ve had your Metal approach and now you can have your 1990s Sega style 8 bit version, aren’t you lucky?

Trent Reznor is working with Atticus Ross on the score to the David Fincher (they’re like BFFs now apparently) directed, ‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’.  The Led Zeppelin cover includes a collaboration with Yeah Yeah Yeah’s singer Karen O. Check it out above. Or don’t, otherwise you could be like me asking yourself why you stopped watching porn to listen to that crap. Sigh, the things I do for this site.

Enslaved get their cover on

The Norwegian extreme Progressive Metal monsters, Enslaved, recently played a special show on May 29 at the Henie Onstad Art Centre in Oslo.

What made the show so special, I hear you ask? And you’d be right to ask that considering my absence. Well, knowing the huge wealth of influences the band have, Enslaved were asked to provide a special setlist of covers as well as original songs. The band covered a range of artists, including Faith No More, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Rush and King Crimson. A band doing covers? What an original concept.

You can check out videos of their covers of Led Zeppelin‘s ‘Immigrant Song’ and King Crimson‘s ‘Red’ after the jump.

Anthrax reviewed their upcoming album already

The reviews are in for Anthrax‘s upcoming studio effort, Worship Music. And wouldn’t you know it, they’re written by two band members. Don’t worry, it’s not like they’re biased or anything.

Here they are:

“With Joey singing them, they sound like classic Anthrax. The hair on my arms stood up when he started singing them. It was Anthrax once again”

– Charlie Benante

“The songs like sound like metal. They sound like Anthrax circa 1987 through a 2011 filter.”

– Scott Ian

“There is a lot of aggression, emotion and power. I feel like this is once again back to our New York style and attitude.”

– Charlie Benante

So I’m guessing both of them agree that the new album kicks ass. It’s safe to say these impartial reviewers gave the album 5 stars out of 5.

Here’s some footage of Philm

Dave Lombardo kicks your ass when he’s in Slayer. Now he’s trying to kick your ass in an experimental, jazzy/funky/weirdy sort of band, too.

Philm‘s sound is such a salad of genres that any attempt to describe it will make me sound like a pretentious piece of shit.

So why don’t you just watch the video and shut up, so I can shut up as well.

We cool, G?
