Jasta and Wylde sitting in a tree…
There’s nothing new about the concept of Jasta releasing his songs over the interwebz as he’s done it before, but this new track is with Zakk Wylde so, check it out if you’re a fan.
Here’s some info I got from Blabbermouth because I’m way too lazy to research it myself:
“The Fearless Must Endure, a brand new solo track by Jamey Jasta, can be streamed [online]. The song, which features a guest appearance by Zakk Wylde, comes off Jasta’s solo album, simply titled Jasta, which is scheduled for release on July 26 via eOne Music. The CD will be made available in Europe one day earlier through Century Media Records.“

Get it? Got it? Good. Make the jump to hear it.
Devin Townsend likes to keep busy
Well, I’ve got some good news and bad news. Do you want the good news first? As we have reported countless times, Devin Townsend will be releasing ‘Deconstruction‘ and ‘Ghost‘ on June 2oth. Now the bad news? No, I’m joking – it’s more good news! Devin went on his Facebook to announce he started working on yet another new album.
EPICLOUD is the next record. Big, heavy, romantic kind of melodic stuff. Pretty, ethereal and simple. My head’s been in a new place as of the past few weeks. Been biking quite a bit and learning Lynyrd Skynyrd songs on bass. Writing lots for Epicloud….
If you enjoy quality music, then that’s obviously fantastic news to start your Monday with.
Make the jump to view one of my all time favorite Devin Townsend vocal performances (just ignore the annoying drummer).
Marilyn Manson is alive (?)
Remember back in the day when Marilyn Manson made music first, shitty pseudo-philosophical commentary on celebrities and whatever second (oh, celebritarianism, remember that shit?). Well, every now and then, he decides to take a band member back (Twiggy), kick another out (Ginger) and make a song here and there. Mostly, it’s redundant, and we wish it didn’t happen (*cough* last two albums *cough*), but for one reason or another, he won’t give up. So, today, we got another tidbit of his artistic expression. Meaning, a 30 second clip of his first new song since The High End of Low. The clip is called I Am Among No One (though that is not the actual name of the song), and you try to figure out what the artist wanted to say.
And what’s it like? Well, I wish I could tell, because the clip is mostly interrupted by what I believe is Trent Reznor jacking his dick off with his laptop, while ProTools is turned on. The parts which we can hear actually sound okay-ish. The real question is, does anyone still give a shit about an okay Marilyn Manson track in 2011? In my opinion, he needs to reinvent music for anyone to care.
You only live once, right?
Much can be said of Suicide Silence, the real question is if anything good would be among those things. Well, let’s take a quick look: deathcore therefore easy to take stabs at – check; looks meant for easy jokes – check. I mean, seriously, put a shirt on. But what about the music? Don’t look at me, I’m superficial and judge people only by their looks.
All kidding aside, I’ve heard a few things by them before and I wasn’t overtly impressed, so I had a hard time giving their new song a chance (especially because you have to “like” them on Facebook in order to do so), but boredom combined with slow internet (therefore no porn :'( ) prevailed and I clicked the button. What can I say, you only live once (which is also the name of the track… genius), and the song is actually not that bad. Well, it actually sounds like a song as opposed to a random combination of 23 breakdowns. So if you’re also bored and can’t watch porn at the moment, go here and give the song a listen.
Hammerfall live in the studio
Swedish melodic Metallers, Hammerfall, have released a brand new video of themselves performing new song ‘Send Me The Sign’ live in the studio. The song is taken from the band’s new album, Infected, released just yesterday via Nuclear Blast Records. The video itself can be found on the bonus disc of the special edition version of the album. What’s that? You haven’t downloaded “bought” the album yet? Well luckily for you, we’re good at technology here at Dose of Metal and we’ve worked out how to embed the video (via Youtube) above, so go ahead and click that play button.
More information on this can be found over at Blabbermouth.
