What the fuck am I watching?
No, seriously, what is this?
According to Blabbermouth, the video stars Jedrzej Wijas, a candidate for parliament in Poland who is with the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD), with several local death metal musicians (including members of Mortal God), as the group’s lead vocalist. The Death Metal video is a 46-second take on his views on secularity of the state and freedom of beliefs. Yeah, sorry, they’re going to have to translate that for ignorant meatheads metalheads like me.
Oh good, they have:
“End of the useless talking,
Enough of the stupid wars,
Secular government,
Dignified life,
Freedom,
Is my goal,
Vote wisely”
Hmm isn’t this political suicide, no?
Wake me up when December ends
In an alternate universe, millions and millions of Korn fans are crying over the latest news that Korn‘s new album The Path To Totality has been pushed back to a December release date. For the rest of us stuck in reality, we can all exhale and rejoice that we have an extra month before we have to succumb to crappy new experimental nu-metal. Yuck!
The Path To Totality sees Korn experimenting with their so called music and adding producers from dubstep to the mix, for a collaboration album. Big names such as Skrillex, Datsik, and Excision will be some of the producers Korn has nabbed for their upcoming release, although I’m sure the millions and millions would agree that the music would sound better without Korn disgracing it with their 1990’s nu-metal nonsense.
Weekly Dose of Metal: The Agonist
This week’s dose of Metal is The Agonist. I don’t think they’re particularly amazing or groundbreaking, but they have a few catchy tunes and the chick is hot (wahey).
Normally, I post a picture above and then embed a streamed sample of a song below, but this time you get the entire official video above. Why? Well, I guess a video of a hot chick is hotter than a picture of a hot chick, right? Actually, to be honest, it’s mostly just because I’m lazy, but pretend I didn’t just say that.
You can watch the video for ‘business suits and combat boots’, taken from the band’s 2007 debut, Once Only Imagined, above.
10 years of Iowa, cue re-release
Ten years ago, and hey – jokes aside, when Slipknot released Iowa, they really did acheive something fairly big. Without the promotion of Britney Spears, and nearly without a single clean melody in earshot, the band still catapulted a heavy fucking Metal album to the top of the charts. They may have been (and perhaps unfairly) associated with the Nu-Metal movement of the time, but Slipknot have always been way more ‘Metal’ than they have ‘Nu’.
Still, that doesn’t mean the band can’t milk even more cash out of the fans, right?
It has been announced that, “in celebration” (in other words -$$£££) of the tenth anniversary since the release of Iowa, the album will be re-released as part of a special pack.
According to Blabbermouth, the pack will include the original Iowa album, a remix of ‘My Plague’ as an added bonus track, the full live audio from the Disasterpieces DVD, and the DVD of “Goat”, a new film directed by M. Shawn Crahan featuring never-before-seen interviews and footage showing the madness that surrounded the Iowa era, plus four music videos. In other words, another shitty pretentious video from the Clown that you’ll never watch. Great.
I’ll personally be buying the new 10th anniversary re-release, as my copy of Iowa has disc rot as a result of too much masturbation.
Esoteric reveal new album and tour details
This news is actually a little old. Two weeks old to be exact. The reason being, needs me to explain an journey of epic proportions that has led me washed ashore following abduction by pirates and being anal probed by aliens. If it wasn’t for these events, I definitely would have posted the news two weeks ago, when it was still “new”, I promise.
As previously announced, Esoteric’s forthcoming album is entitled Paragon of Dissonance and will be out on November 11th (November 15th in the US). Here are the cover artwork and tracklisting of the British doomsters’ sixth full-length:
CD 1:
1. Abandonment
2. Loss of Will
3. Cipher
4. Non Being
CD 2:
1. Aberration
2. Disconsolate
3. Torrent of Ills
Esoteric are also set to tour in October, with dates in Ukraine and the UK having been announced so far. For all the dates (Which I’m too lazy to type out), check out the band’s Facebook page. I guarantee it’s more interesting than that ugly chick you keep stalking (and P.S. That’s my mom, so seriously, stop it sicko!).
