Municipal Waste release very entertaining music video for “Breathe Grease.” It’s shot house party style with a funny storyline, and the song itself is fast and brutal. The track is the opener to the band’s most recent album Slime and Punishment.
Leo Moracchioli of Frog Leap Studios has been delivering amazing metal covers on his YouTube channel for several years now. They are all awesome and each video contains topnotch production quality. The latest cover from the Norwegian-based musician is “Despacito,” that Luis Fonsi song, later covered by Justin Bieber, you hear 7,000 times per day. […]

Fill The Darkness With Black […]
It’s been 5 days since the release of the official video for Body Count’s rendition of “Raining in Blood,” as they call it.

Queens of the Stone Age have a new nine song album on the horizon called Villains. Why did the band name it Villains? Singer Joshua Homme explains that it’s “a word that looks fantastic.” The super catchy first single “The Way You Used to Do” (video below) has been working its way through radio play and […]
Guns N’ Roses released Appetite for Destruction on July 21, 1987. Since then the landmark hard rock album sold over 30 million copies [estimated from wikipedia], averaging 10 million copies per decade. That is remarkable considering the band was fairly inactive for 15+ years and didn’t even see a proper reunion of frontman Axl, guitarist […]
