Mastodon’s 2nd video from Crack the Skye is the opening track from their new album Oblivion. The video is a crazy space adventure directed by Roboshobo (who also directed the insane video for “Divinations”). For some mysterious reason, Brann leaves the safety of their spaceship. Watch as each member, one by one, attempt to rescue him from the vacuum of space. Amazing effects and a creative storyline make “Oblivion” another visual masterpiece for Mastodon.
Warbringer brings you the first video from their second album Walking Into Nightmares. Here is what Guitarist John Laux had to say about making the video:
“The video for ‘Severed Reality’ got done in the middle of a tour, and it was done mostly live at the venue we were playing at that night in Milwaukee. We did a couple shots on the stage before anyone showed up, and then just shot the whole show for the video. As it turns out the show was fu**ing insane, we couldn’t even fit all the stage divers in the video! David Brodsky (the video’s director) went to put the whole thing together and it came out great, I think it is the strongest video we have had so far.”

What really affected the material on our latest album, Night Electric Night, I think, was the endless touring for a couple of years. The jabbing frustration, utterly depraved nightclubbing, fights, sex with incredible statistics (all genders, pretty much), the raging search for kicks in general and the constant celebration of the dandy deeds of the Devil. I mean, of corpse, we make Hell look like f*cking sex-add. I have grown to understand that. We are Ms Rocktober in Satan’s favourite porno-mag, and if I may say I think Mother Mary get’s off to us as well.. (I guess that’s why girls call us the Backstreet Boys from Hell. Or is it just our perfect features?) This of course results in chaos and drama and infected relations which gives fuel to the material. Our lives are the total opposites to the impression that you get from a normal musician’s life – I believe Hell is the word I’m looking for. Again.

Here is the first video from Arkaea’s debut album Years in the Darkness. If you aren’t familiar with Arkaea yet, you may be familiar with some of their members. Christian Olde Wolbers and Raymond Herrera formally played in Fear Factory, while Jon Howard and Pat Kavanagh has previously contributed to Threat Signal. Years in the Darkness will be released on July 14th, here’s what drummer Raymond Herrera had to say about his new band’s video debut:
Locust was the our first pick for a music video and as the opening track for the album because it really sets the tempo of the album and is a strong track that shows a great introduction to what Arkaea is all about. We knew that we needed to come out swinging and Locust definitely offers that Punch.
We filmed the video for Locust in downtown Los Angeles, we had a great time making the video and look forward to seeing the response. — Raymond Herrera
As a member of the hardcore/ screamo/ metal with my sister in Eyes Set To Kill, we have long wondered, “Where are all the other girls in hardcore/ screamo/ metal?? It’s always been like that, ever since I started Eyes Set To Kill with my sister. Sure there are some girls, but not enough! Now, I am no feminist but wouldn’t it be nice to see more girls with the guts to play music of genres that are mainly dominated by boys? I don’t mind living in a world of dirty “bros” and endless road trips. BUT ALL I AM SAYING is that some of you female musicians are missing out on all the fun. Stop playing that guitar alone in you room with you door locked shut! Don’t be ashamed or embarrassed. Don’t be shy to the dream that you only pursue when your sleeping! Don’t be afraid of what other girls or guys will think of you. Just make a difference with me and the few out there before its too late!! Your destiny awaits!
