Slamming Beatdown Death live… wait what?
I’m a Death Metal guy. Everybody who knows me, knows that I love Death Metal. I’m mainly into classic Death, but also enjoy quite a few Melodic, Brutal, Progressive and Blackened Death Metal bands, and in some cases even Deathgrind. I’m saying that to let you know that I’m open-minded when it comes to Death Metal. I even thought I knew quite a bit about the genre but I have never heard of Slamming Beatdown Death before.
So now I’m posting a live performance of Begging For Incest. I’ll be honest, I’m partly posting this because their vocalist Meik is a buddy of mine. But I’m mainly posting this because of how fascinating I find it that this actually appeals to me. It goes exactly against what I usually enjoy. It’s simple, it pretty much only consists of breakdowns and the vocals are mainly pig squeals.
It’s similiar to my fascination with Mortician. Dumbed down, braindead but fun Death Metal. Don’t watch it if you’re expecting something technical and challenging. If you’re able to turn off your brain and just want to have a good time with some really heavy music, watch the video above.
Rather be alive
I know this is not strictly metal news, but I love this band, so bite me. Refused are fucking dead back.
God Forbid mixing it up
No, they’re not making a dubstep album, they’re in the mixing stages of their new one. How soon will it come out? This spring it seems, and I can’t say it’ll be a long wait for me, because up until three seconds ago, I didn’t know this band still existed.
The post title holds some truth, though, because according to guitarist Doc Coyle:
“The stuff I’ve been writing has been varied from evil Morbid Angel, black metal shit to mid-tempo/power groove Machine Head-type stuff, and signature God Forbid material that is a logical progression from our previous albums.”
You can listen to a demo of a new song after the jump, and judge how much they’re straying away from their “signature sound,” though, I’m not sure what’s so “signature” about metalcore. Burn.
Bret Michaels got his ride on
Bret Michaels released a song and video for some crappy supercross show or something. I honestly haven’t paid attention, the only sport I watch is YouPorn.
Laugh at the vid above and troll all your friends with it, by posting it on their wall. Then mention Alex from Dose of Metal as the source for it. Then tell them you were about to do something, but then took an arrow to the knee. Then post some badly drawn troll face and tell them to press J over and over again.
If the paragraph above makes no sense to you, congratulations: You probably had sex at least once.
GNR’s DJ wrote 12 songs for ‘their new album’
Guns N’ Roses guitarist DJ Ashba (real name Disc Jockey Ashballs) says Axl played him hours of new material to him, and that in return, he wrote 12 songs that Axl loved.
That’s a cute story, want to hear everything? Well, Mama’s Fallen Angels interviewed him. You can check it out here:
When asked what it feels like to be in a GNR tribute band, DJ Ashba had no comment. He just showed his Slash-shaped dartboard.
