In Case You Missed Headbanger’s Ball, Here Are The Videos

Scott — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 13:13:15 +0000

In case you missed Headbanger’s Ball last night, here are the videos. A fairly good line up with the classic Carcass Heartwork video and a laughable Grim Reaper video. I went to sleep during Municipal Waste’s Sadistic Magician, a band that I’m not all that impressed with. The Gates Of Slumber video and song were pretty cool though. Check out the rest.

THE GATES OF SLUMBER – TRAPPED IN THE WEB

BORIS – STATEMENT

SLIPKNOT – PSYCHOSOCIAL

MUNICIPAL WASTE – SADISTIC MAGICIAN

TERROR – NEVER ALONE

CARCASS – HEARTWORK

carcass Heartwork

SHADOWS FALL – FOREVERMORE

SOULFLY – UNLEASH

WHITECHAPEL – THIS IS EXILE

GRIM REAPER – SEE YOU IN HELL

ARISE AND RUIN – BOUND BY BLOOD

Gibson Salutes Metal’s Power Trios.

Scott — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 12:17:47 +0000

Aaron Lefkove over at Gibson.com wrote up an breif article of heavy metal’s power trios. Not many, only 5 hear, but there is a link to check out more namely power trios from a previous article.

Some of the bands he names are Wolfmother, Budgie, Motorhead, Boris, and Venom. Giving a little insight on each band and their sounds.

I saw this Boris video last night on Headbanger’s Ball and I was extremely bored with not only the music but the video as well. And something creeps me out about the look on the guitarist face. She’s got an angry, ‘cheat on me and I’ll hack off your privates!’ kind of look. And on top of that the solos/leads whatever you want to call them where not interesting and/or difficult. As far as the vocals were concerned, I couldn’t hear a damn thing he was saying and why would he bring a bass/6 string guitar combo in a video and not play both. Kind of defeats the purpose. Take a look for yourself.
