Angry Metal Guy

The Swedish blogger (and ridiculously fucking metal) Demonia has posted some pictures and videos (in Swedish—though, she’s got Google translator embedded for the foreigners) from Blaze Bayley‘s show in Stockholm. I, being Poor Metal Guy, managed to miss this one, but hopefully they’ll be back soon (though, what with shedding their manager and drummer in the last few days I’m not sure when that’ll actually be). Anyway, the turnout seems like it was actually pretty damn good and the band is on. I have to say that their bassist (David Bermudez) is one of the best heavy metal performers I’ve ever seen. I commented on it from the live DVD, the dude is just a fucking beast. Los hermanos Bermúdez are pretty awesome in general, I’d say. I’ll post four here, but she’s got others on her blog and some on YouTube as well.

Here’s one of my favorite songs off of the mighty Tenth Dimension record:

And here’s “Faceless” from 2010′s Promise and Terror:

And of course, “Futureal” from the much maligned Virtual XI record. But once again the band shows that had that record had some production and energy it would’ve been a much better album.

Here’s another one from the new record Promise and Terror. Why don’t you have it yet? What are you waiting for?

The Internet isn’t for porn, it’s for DaDa!

Black Sun Aeon uploaded their new video for the track “Frozen”, which is probably one of the best on the new record Routa that came out 3 days ago in the US. Check it out!

The Internets have once again served up another pure dada moment.

So, this kid is 5 years old and while he’s not necessarily covering the best stuff in the world he’s pretty impressive. In fact, so impressive that I’d say he’s better than a couple of grown drummers that I’ve encountered in my days. Hopefully he’ll grow up to be awesome and un-jaded, despite being thrust onto the stage at such a young age without the ability to actually consent to fame.

Someone posted a good chunk of Katatonia‘s new record on YouTube and it got posted in a more compilation form here.  Sounds fucking great!

Ihsahn has posted a new video entry from the recording process online.  While very, very boring from the perspective of these kinds of videos (it doesn’t lie when it says “WARNING: This video contains no enthusiasm or excitement of any kind”) it is, on the other hand, awesome to watch him play and great to hear where After is headed musically.  That is, it sounds fucking awesome and I’m super stoked about it.

As reported earlier, this record is scheduled to be released in January of 2010, making the new year look very exciting from my perspective.
