Monday overdose: Heaven Shall Burn
Nothing like an overdose on a Monday. I mean, it’s the beginning of the week, many of use have to return to work after a weekend of prostitutes, mass alcohol consumption and wild partying. So overdosing on metal is never going to be anything but a great thing to get the week going.
Ripped off from Inspired by Guido’s post on Saturday on Cult of Luna, I present to you today, Heaven Shall Burn.
The band are often classified as metalcore, but personally I find them far closer to the style of melodic death — and to be honest even that’s a slight stretch. The band implement quite a few styles, even black metal, but all I care about is that they’re heavy as fuck.
One of my favorite songs is ‘Combat’ taken from the album Invictus (Iconoclast III) and you can watch the video above.
How ’bout some new Lamb of God?
If you head over to MetalSucks, you’ll get exactly that: a new Lamb of God song.
It’s called Ghost Walking, and it’s going to be featured on their new album, Resolution, coming January 24. If you like Lamb of God, make sure to check it out because I’m quite sure you’ll like it. If you don’t, google a new Ke$ha song or whatever, I can’t please all of you.
Darren Aronofsky is the table
Oscar nominated director Darren Aronofsky directed a pretentious video from Loutallica. You can watch it above…
I honestly don’t know how they got this guy to direct a music video for a song off of LULZ-U, but hey, I guess Darren’s movies focus a lot on psychotic characters, obsession, going crazy — Exactly what I went through while listening to Lulu, so actually, it’s a good fit.
If you haven’t seen his debut film Pi, tough shit, cause I’m gonna spoil it for you. The character drills his head at the end. The only way to get rid of the Lulu sounds, if I’m honest.
Ozzy is old!
Today marks Ozzy Osbourne’s 63rd birthday. I could make a few jokes about how he already looked, moved and talked like an 80-year-old ten years ago. But it’s his birthday and I want to congratulate him on that and wish him well.
With the Black Sabbath reunion coming closer, Ozzy’s still got a lot of planned for the next couple of years. Let’s hope he doesn’t break his hip or something. Old people break their hips all the time, don’t they?
“SHAAAAROOON! It’s my fucking birthday and I mumble mumble the fucking mumble mumble mumble and I want a fucking cake!”
