Want some American Head Charge live footage?

I’ve written about the reformation of American Head Charge before, and I’ve recently stumbled on a few live clips from their recent performance at Whisky A Go Go.

Want to check out what the band sounds like? Check out the clips above (Take What I’ve Taken; Pledge Allegiance) and below (Ridicule). I actually kind of liked it, possibly because I had a soft spot for the band back in the day and I think their vocalist is overlooked (basically, a Burton C. Bell that can carry out the songs live, buuurn), but other than that, don’t expect to be amazed, especially if you’re not a fan of industrial/numetalish hard rock.

You can keep yourself updated with news on the band by following their Facebook page or Twitter account.

Monday Dose: Exhorder

Lately I’ve been listening to a lot of Exhorder again and by accident I found a pro-shot live video of one of my favorite Exhorder tunes, ‘Desecrator.’ The video features the late Frankie Sparcello and the rest of the gang thrashing through this killer song sometime in 2010.

Now do yourself a favor, watch the video above, then listen to your copy of Slaughter In The Vatican and while you do that, read our interview with Kyle Thomas which we did last year.

Debauchery release new music video

Terrible acting, lots of fake blood, playmates dancing on a tank and rocking Death Metal. This is Debauchery. So over the top and ridiculous, you’ve just got to love them.

Above you can watch the censored video of Debauchery’s new single, which comes off of Germany’s Next Death Metal, ‘Warmachines At War.’ You can watch the uncensored version here.

If you ever get a chance to catch these guys live, do it. Debauchery put the fun back into Death Metal. Definitely one of the greatest live acts I’ve ever seen.

Let’s talk about supergroups, baby

I’ve learned about two new “supergroups” this past week. One features David Silveria (former Calvin Klein model/drummer for Korn) and the second features Dani Filth (former Versace model/vocalist for Cradle of Filth). Good thing they’re in separate bands because crossing them in one would probably result in Earth imploding just to prevent the sounds exiting our orbit and doing damage to the solar system.

The band David’s in is called Infinika, and it also features members of Anyone (as in, “Anyone ever heard about this band?), and I gotta say, the music kinda sucks. But hey, it seems they’re doing it to have fun and to pay off whatever debts and drug habits David’s picked up since leaving Korn and selling his drums on eBay. You can listen to and watch a promo clip above.

Dani’s project is called Temple of the Black Moon, and no, it’s not the next Transformers movie, it’s a band featuring Rob Caggiano (Anthrax), King (ex-Gorgoroth) and John Tempesta (The Cult). I didn’t find any clips with music previews, but if you’re really interested and like, really, really bored, you can “like” their Facebook page for further updates.
