Headbanger’s Ball Playlist 8/9

Scott — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 03:08:29 +0000

Last week I kind of slacked due to the fact that I was on vacation with my family and it really wasn’t on my mind. Here is this weeks HBB play list. Not the greatest list. The Hatebreed video will be on the upcoming live DVD, The gates Of Slumber video is kind of a cool, sledge, doom song (Kind of reminds me of Devon Townsend) and the Dragonforce song is from their upcoming Ultra-beat off cd. The Straight Line Stitch video is better than the last one but I still don’t like this band. I have always loved the Korn ‘Blind’ video, I don;t care what anyone says about nu-metal and to be totally honest I’m kind of growing tired of Meshuggah. I won’t be watching tonight, so someone let me know how the Impending Doom video is. Lastly, I think it’s about time they take this HTML Rulez Dood video out of rotation, right? Put WhiteChapel’s This Is Exile and Kataklysm’s Taking The World By Storm back in there. Keep a look out for a new All That Remains Video in the works in the next coming month from the new album Overcome. Play list after the fold.

HATEBREED – LIVE FOR THIS (live)
THE GATES OF SLUMBER – TRAPPED IN THE WEB
LAMB OF GOD – WALK WITH ME IN HELL
DRAGONFORCE – HEROES OF OUR TIME
STRAIGHT LINE STITCH – BLACK VEIL
HATE ETERNAL – I, MONARCH
ARISE AND RUIN – BOUND BY BLOOD
MESHUGGAH – BLEED
IMPENDING DOOM – MY NEMESIS
KORN – BLIND
THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA – HTML RULEZ DOOD

Miss Headbanger’s Ball on Mtv 2 on Saturday? You can watch all the videos here. Some people don’t feel like staying up that late on a Saturday night or sitting through all the commercials or the videos. So I’ve compiled all the videos here. That way you can choose the ones you want to see and no commercials. What I hate about Headbanger’s Ball these days is that there is no commentary and rarely interviews and such like there used to be. It used to actually make for interesting viewing when there was someone to commentate about the videos and had guests on the show. Oh well, those days are gone and now they pack it into one hour and just videos. Click read more to view all the videos and play only the ones you want to see.

WHITE CHAPEL – THIS IS EXILE

For Christ Sake!

Back when I first started this blog I had a two part post about how metal has been deemed the Devil’s music and how a lot of the gimmick behind metal is Satan and about anti religion lyrics. I also said something about how Christian metal isn’t exactly “Flying off of the shelves”. I was wrong!

While metal is still deemed the Devil’s music there are a lot of Christian metal bands out there that you really wouldn’t know were spiritual if you didn’t read into it. Bands that still fit the metal sound of today, unlike the Christian metal bands of yester-decade, like Stryper. The bible slinging bees are still out there singing their souls out but they aren’t nearly as popular as they were for that short time back in the mid 80’s with hit’s such as Honestly and To Hell With The Devil. But they are still out there spreading the good word with their music.

The modern spiritual bands of today better fit the bill and are more likely to be picked up not because of their lyrics or the message they try to put across without being so obvious, but because their sound is hard and heavy hitting. Bands such as As I lay Dying, Demon Hunter, And The Devil Wears Prada, the scene grows and does not get as much criticism as one may think from the typical hell-raising metal head. Instead they get respect as they should. I’m not a fan of Demon Hunter or Devil Wears Prada, but I love AILD.

You can say what you want about religion, it all has it’s flaws, but you can’t change the fact that these bands are at a solid state in their careers and are not just one offs that don’t fit the bill with the rest. They may not be singing about candle masses and hypocritical religious leaders, but they are bringing what they know to the table and it’s making a bigger impact than one may realize.
