Ex Opeth Drummers Soen Releases Video For Savia

Soen, the band featuring ex-Opeth drummer Martin Lopez, has released an official video for Savia, which comes off their upcoming debut album Cognitive. Directed by Patric Ullaeus (In Flames, Dimmu Borgir), the song definitely has some Tool-esque vibes while dipping its toes into heavier territory. Another song, Delenda, can be heard on their Facebook page. I’m definitely enjoying the songs and I’m really looking forward to hearing the rest of the album. Check out the video below.

Five Finger Death Punch Announce West Coast Tour

Hard rock band Five Finger Death Punch will be embarking on a US/Canadian west coast tour beginning in March. The 14-date trek begins in Las Vegas, NV and ends in Casper, WY. The band is touring in support of their latest release, American Capitalist (review). Support on these dates will come from Soulfly, Windowpane, and Persist.

Singer Ivan Moody shared, “The few times we’ve been to Canada it’s been absolutely phenomenal. The fact that we get to take a band like Soulfly with us on a tour like this says it all. This is going to be one hell of a great time, in no uncertain terms.”

Guitarist Zoltán Báthory added, “We only played a handful of dates in Canada, but they were all sold-out so we are really looking forward to a headlining tour up there. What makes it even sweeter is taking one of our favorite bands Soulfly with us on this trek. As we are playing bigger and bigger venues, I think it became our responsibility to help expose some great metal bands to our more diverse audience.”

A new Staind album. For me, a reason to rejoice, but for many of their haters and detractors, another chance to say the same old thing about the group that has been said for about 10 years now. “They went soft”, “They sold out”, or “All Aaron Lewis does is whine and cry for an hour on each album.” Even though I disagree with all of the above statements, to someone who already isn’t a fan of the band, I can see these points. Well friends, if you are one of the haters of Staind, then their new self-titled album is for you. READ MORE

Marilyn Manson has dubbed his upcoming album Born Villain. Considering that was the name of the song released yesterday, I don’t think many people are surprised by this. He also posted on his official website a short blurb detailing the work that he has done with actor Shia LaBeouf:

“‘Born Villain’ is the title of the new Marilyn Manson album. While looking to experiment in unlikely collaborations, I met Shia, and we spent a long night at my studio. After seeing ‘Maniac,’ his short film, which is somewhat inspired by ‘Man Bites Dog,’ I was astonished by his directing ability. So I shared quite a few of my favorite inspirations in art, literature, and obviously…film. I was impressed with how Shia digested my world, and made what I’d like to think, is both an homage and a mockery of the history of Cinema. We ended up writing a short film, and just recently released a trailer. The score is from my new album, and is, in the words of Macbeth, ‘full of sound and fury.’

I find the idea of a yawning MGM lion far more interesting than a roaring one.

You ask why we did this?

‘No reason.’”

Check after the jump to see the NSFW video for Born Villain.

Update: The video was taken down by YouTube but we linked another source. Enjoy!

While it’s been out for a while that Shia LaBeouf would be directing a documentary following Marilyn Manson during the recording of the upcoming new album, I didn’t realize that LaBeouf would be handling other aspects as well. After the jump, you can watch a video for Born Villain, which LaBeouf says draws heavily from Shakespeare’s Macbeth as well as the famous short film by Salvador Dali, Un Chien Andalou (courtesy MTV.com).

WARNING: This video is EXTREMELY NSFW! There is gratuitous nudity, sexual acts, gore, violence, and more. Basically, it’s everything we see in your normal, every day horror movie. Enjoy!

Say whatever you want, but the upcoming release of Evanescence‘s third album, which is self-titled, is generating a lot of industry and fan buzz. Considering that it’s been five years since The Open Door, it’s no wonder. Personally, I thought only Tool had that kind of staying power, but it looks like there is something about Amy Lee that keeps people drawn in. To tease fans just a little more, Evanescence has released the official artwork for the upcoming album, which drops October 11th. Personally, I think it’s a bit plain and uninventive.

A Pale Horse Named Death Release Video For ‘Devil In The Closet’

Update: We’re being told that this is a fan mash-up. If this is true, somebody give this man a job, eh?

Earlier this year, A Pale Horse Named Death released And Hell Will Follow (review here), an album that I thought had some of the best elements of early Alice In Chains and some Stone Temple Pilots, all with a heavier, darker edge. It’s a great album that I pop on anytime I want to feel grimy and dirty while rocking out. And those adjectives perfectly describe the video for Devil In The Closet, which has elements of Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights. Check out the video after the jump and let me know how you feel after watching it.

We’ve seen some really cool videos over the years from Deftones, so it’s only fitting that a live video be just as engaging. Turns out they thought the same thing and it’s evident in the new video for Beauty School, which comes off their latest album Diamond Eyes (review here) and also just so happens to be my favorite track off the album.

Check it out after the jump and tell me YOUR favorite Deftones song in the comments.

The show also marked the first time several new songs were played, including What You Want (which you can hear at the below link) and the previously unheard The Change (which you can hear a live version of after the jump).

Official tour dates for the Evanescence, Rival Sons, and The Pretty Reckless tour have been released. The tour goes for just over three weeks and hits several of the major cities in North America. Evanescence will be touring in support of their new, self-titled album, which is their first new release in five years.

I’m going to take a stab and say that this is a warm up tour and that a bigger, more intense tour will be scheduled in the early parts of 2012. Check after the jump for the tour dates and to hear the new song, What You Want.

So you’ve read the headline and are asking yourself, “Why, if this video is so terrible, would I want to watch it?”. Because now you’re curious. It’s that simple. I’ve put the bug in you and you’ll be getting irritated and itching to watch the new Drowning Pool video for Let The Sin Begin just so you can see for yourself how bad it really is. Want a teaser? Boring storyline, generic hot girls, comic book style panels that are shifting too often to be comprehensible. That good enough for you?

If you still want to watch it, enjoy the mind numbing video after the jump.

In case you didn’t know, Fieldy, best known as the bassist for Korn, has a side project called Stillwell for which he plays guitar. Okay, now that you’re all caught up, the band has released a video for the song You Can’t Stop Me, which comes off their debut album Dirtbag, which was released earlier this year on Nu Day Records.

Okay, having listened to the track, I have to ask myself if the band ever left the late 90′s. Seriously, this sounds like something Tantric or Puddle of Mudd would’ve come up with. I’ll say this much though, if this is what it takes for that damn clicking bass sound of his he uses in Korn to stop, I’ll take it and be happy about it. That is probably the worst sounding bass tone in music history.

I’m in a weird frame of mind. Seems like more and more of todays pop stars are big hard rock/metal fans. Lady Gaga is certainly one, what with her near obsession of Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. Now Ke$ha is joining in on this trend by having shock rock legend Alice Cooper come up on stage in Oslo during a cover of School’s Out. So why the weird mood? Because as cool as it is that they are sharing their love of metal with their fans, these pop artists are just so…well, they just try way too damn hard to shock the world the way that the rock stars the idolize did in their time. Trouble is, our generation has pretty much seen and heard it all. So, these attempts to shock and awe us with fashion and “provocative” lyrics don’t have nearly the same impact. Basically, stop trying so hard with how you look and focus on the music you’re releasing.
