Justice DVD Teaser Trailer!

Posted in Video with tags Electronica, Justice on Monday, October 6, 2008 by Tim Althaus

The chain-smoking dance/techno duo of Xavier de Rosnay and Gaspard Auge (otherwide known as Justice) have put out the trailer for their DVD A Cross The Universe. I was turned onto these guys buy a friend of mine about a year ago. Being largely into Hip-Hop I had a natural love for beats, and it just so happened that Justice makes some pretty amazing ones. I immediately fell in love with the album Cross after the first listen (This usually does not happen, I usually extensively listen to albums). Justice started to get

Rosnay & Auge

a big name when they initially beat out Kanye West in the Video of the Year category at the MTV Europe Video Music Awards for the video of the Simian Mobile Disco song“We Are Your Friends” (The Justice Remix) in 2006. Justice also put out the critically acclaimed hit D.A.N.C.E. in 2007. From what I have heard these guys put on an amazing show, and judging by the trailer to this DVD it’s going to be one hell of a ride to watch. The material seen in the trailer is nothing short of crazy. I advise you go get this when it comes out November 24th.

Cursed has a video

Posted in Video with tags cursed on Monday, October 6, 2008 by Ryan Buege

The now defunct CURSED made an interesting post on their blog earlier this week, and it’s worth my mention here. Despite having the brutal new album III: Architects of Troubled Sleep recently released earlier this year and the Blackout at Sunrise EP under their belt as well, they have posted the brand new music video to “The Void” from their second album II. While releasing your first music video for a song that was written two albums in the past might be a surprising move for most bands, time has proven that the moves of unconventional band’s like CURSED can never really be proven or understood. This is a band that opened the aformentioned II album with a four minute hardcore metal explosion featuring vocals and the song was entitled simply “Intro” – logic doesn’t really apply to them, if you know what I mean. It’s clear that CURSED honestly embodies the arrogant “don’t give a fuck” attitude that it takes to survive as a hardcore band or metal band, and for that I salute them. What IS surprising is that this song still sounds as fucking awesome and forward-thinking as it did when they released it three years ago. That my friends, is what distinguishes the amazing bands from the rest. It’s only all too sad they broke up earlier this summer.

With that said, this video (which was directed by their friend Karol Orzechowski) is a gem, as well. She did an excellent job to perfectly reflect the brutal, inspired, fire-spitting rage of the audio track. CURSED are a band to be feared, and after entering their world, yours will never be the same. Here’s the video to “The Void”

Stockholm, Sweden’s brilliant death metal supergroup BLOODBATH has just posted the brand new song “Ieosos” from their forthcoming aptly titled third full-length album The Fathomless Mastery to their Myspace and their mini-site for the album , due for European release on October 6th and North American release on October 28th. For those not familiar with this incredible group and their crushing barrage of hateful brutality, the band consists of OPETH mainman Mikael Åkerfeld on vocals, OPETH drummer Martin “Axe” Axenrot, KATATONIA guitarist Anders “Blakkheim” Nyström, KATATONIA vocalist Jonas Renkse on bass, and Per “Sodomizer” Eriksson of 21 LUCIFERS and GENOCRUSH FEROX on guitar. For those of you only familiar with these guys recent work in the aforementioned bands, you might want to beware – BLOODBATH is as fucking brutal as death metal can get, period. Counting the songs “Mock the Cross” and “Slaughtering the Will to Live” that have previously been posted, “Ieosos” is the third song from the new album that has made it to the web before the release. The release date is soon approaching, so keep reading for the download links to the new tracks! Continue reading →
