Misanthropy Pure is shaping to be one of the best hardcore records released in a long LONG time. New vocalist Matt Ian Mazzali is a juiced up version of Jamey Jasta, with a scream thats mildly melodic and epic as all hell. How he manages to wail over ever single stuttering pnumatic riff is beyond me. The album’s title track is easily the most accessible track on the album and I mean that in a good way. While so much heavy music is mindless chugging these days, Shai Hulud seem to switch up time signatures and styles (mind you I mean styles within the genre) so easily it’s scary. Add in the catchy soaring guitar melodies and you have an anthemic barn burner of an album. Check out the simple yet powerful video below. Directed by the one and only David Broadsky.
By far one of the best videos you probably won’t see on TV any time soon, Justice’s new anarchist and troubling video for “Stress” nails it. This is one of the few times (save most Chemical Brothers videos) where a video for a dance act actually works.
I’ve been jamming the Futureheads all night. Here’s the video for “Decent Days And Nights” off their first album. Gotta love the harmonies.
OH FUCK. This song will rip your face off. This band takes a lot of heat in the metal world simply because lots of their fans are young high school teens. Lead singer Mitch Lucker is a fucking terror. He’s one of my favorite frontmen out there right now. See him in all of his neck tatted glory. COOOOOOKIE MONSTERRRRRR
