Last night (Oct. 30), Slipknot performed their song “Snuff” from All Hope Is Gone on Jimmy Kimmel Live. I’m glad that the late night shows are starting to showcase metal acts, and this one actually sounds almost decent for once.
Check it out below:

Mastodon performed their song “Divinations” from Crack the Skye last night (Oct 29) on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

Oh well, it’s still a good song, check it out below:

Bigelf has unleashed their new video for the song “Evils of Rock n’ Roll” from their amazing new album Cheat the Gallows!
