Video of the Week: Kataklysm
You can view this post as an answer to this post. Kataklysm are one of my favorite Death Metal bands, even though their latest output is average at best. Shadows & Dust is a great album and the video above proves that Kataklysm sure as fuck know how to play songs off that album live.
‘Illuminati’ is easily my favorite Kataklysm tune, especially the drumming on this song simply blows me away. A true banger.
17 years ago seems so far away
17 years ago, Pantera’s Far Beyond Driven went to #1 on the US Billboard 200 charts. Currently on #1 on said charts is Adele and I have absolutely no idea who that is but I think it’s safe to say, they (or she?) aren’t metal (it’s worth noticing that the Foo Fighters are on #2 and I absolutely view that as a great thing).
17 years ago, even Kurt Cobain was blown away by the sheer amount of quality metal albums that were released that year. In the year of 1994, many great (and now legendary) albums were released. Make the jump to see the highlights of 1994.
Back when they were still good: Life of Agony
Before.
A good metal band with hints of everything that later turned into a mediocre version of Stone Temple Pilots. Good for you if you like what they released six years ago, it just sounds so generic and horrible to me.
Back when they were still good: Killswitch Engage
Killswitch Engage; I envy you guys. You’ve been writing the same shit over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over again, it’s gotten worse, and yet you’ve been making a living from it. I write the same shit over and over again, and I’m lucky if I get so much as a blowjob, let alone a pay check (and that’s not got anything to do with this site or my writing, I just don’t get a whole lot of action).
The band were once good, then they found a formula and stuck with it until people like me could take no more. In addition, Adam D you’re neither funny nor original, you’re just lame. So Killswitch Engage, please either get good again and tell Adam to shut the hell up (and lose the cape), or just give it up already. Kthnxbye! xoxo
P.S. I actually wanted to find a live video of this song with Jesse, but unfortunately I failed.
Video of the Week: Bloodbath
The video above is for Bloodbath’s ‘Hades Rising’ off their latest album ‘The Fathomless Mastery.’ I remember when the video for the song was first announced and I was impatiently waiting, lurking for hours on the official Bloodbath forum and stuff like that. When the video was finally released on Youtube, I was kind of disappointed with the video itself but the song remains one of my favorite Bloodbath tunes, especially the mindblowing outro.
Bloodbath have, over the years, achived quite a lot. The band was just formed in 1998, as a so-called supergroup, and then became one of the most respected and popular Death Metal acts, among oldschool Death Metal fans, just like younger Death Metal fans. In a time, where every second band is called a supergroup, it’s refreshing to listen to a real supergroup that plays awesome music.
