The Famine has ended!

Bono, if you’re reading this, no, we’re not talking about actual famine… Unfortunately that’s still going on.

Texas-based death metal band The Famine called it quits though.

“In my mind, bands break up because Courtney Love kills their singer or because they can’t stand each other. Neither of those circumstances is descriptive of our situation. For us, life simply got in the way, as it often does.“

Read full statement here.

Isn’t it a bit wrong to call your band ‘The Famine‘ when three of your members are overweight? And then ending it because ‘life got in the way’? I can’t help but think real famine only ends when death gets in the way.  Do you see where I’m going with this? It’s like a band of midgets calling themselves “Standing Tall” or Linkin Park calling themselves “Analog music.”

And don’t even get me started on the random namedropping… Going out with a ‘bang,’ huh?

Goodbye!

New videos and free music round up

The title makes it sound like I’m going to provide for all your musical needs for at least a month, but it’s really just one song and a few videos. Well, you’re here, so… Make the jump and download the full Cavalera Conspiracy track, watch the video for “Better Man” by Hellyeah, “Ad Mortem” by Famine, or just scroll down and watch the best of the bunch, DevilDriver’s “Dead To Rights.”
