It’s Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Frid…dammit… I’m so ashamed of myself right now. I need to go shower and scrub myself down to get that filth off of me. OR I could just bring you another Twisted Music Video Of The Week!

Today brings you Strapping Young Lad‘s “Almost Again”, which comes off the 2006 album The New Black from Century Media Records. The video is very reminiscent of Tetsuo: Iron Man and features a lot of human mixed with machine. Check it out below for a gruesome time!

Also, make sure to leave a suggestion for the next edition of Twisted Music Video Of The Week in the comments below! And enjoy your weekend! READ MORE

galaktikoncover Brendon Smalls Galaktikon Streams First New Song
Coinciding with season 4 of Adult Swim’s Metalocalypse, April will see the release of Dethklok creator Brendon Small’s Galaktikon. Described as “high stakes intergalactic extreme rock”, the album seems to be something that Dethklok fans can definitely get into but is also diverse enough to attract new crowds and listeners. 
Today, Crave Online got a stream of one of the tracks entitled On My Way. My only complaint is that the first thing I noticed was how boxed the audio file was. There were no dynamics to be found anywhere. The song kicks in and the volume never changes once. Am I right? Am I wrong? You can hear the song below and give me your thoughts.

Brendon Small, the mastermind behind Dethklok, the band on Adult Swim’s Metalocalypse, has announced the upcoming release of his side project Galaktikon. The album will come out this April and coincides with the Season 4 premiere of Metalocalypse. 
“This album should be thought of as an audio comic book, an over acted chamber drama, a ridiculous premise that takes itself way too seriously all the way to the end,” states Brendon Small.

Brendon Small paired with Dethklok drummer (legendary metal drummer) Gene Hoglan (Strapping Young Lad, Testament, Fear Factory) and Dethklok bassist Bryan Beller (Steve Vai, Mike Keneally band) as well as Dethklok engineer and mixer Ulrich Wild.

Check below for the awesome, retro sci-fi album artwork.

‘Malevolence’, the third full length release by Seattle, Washington Tech-Death metal band I Declare War, is a solid release with 11-tracks of blistering, down-tuned heaviness. The lyrics are just as in-your-face as the music (should you be able to understand them) and if you’re feeling particularly pissed-off at the government, religion, etc…, this may just be the album you need to get some of that aggression out.
