Who's hot, who's not? Well, when it comes to Limp Bizkit, the fans in Lithuania certainly seem to think the rap-metal band still rock. As for us Westerners, the reaction seems to be split, which probably explains why Limp Bizkit opted to play their first reunion shows in rock-starved nations like Latvia and Lithuania.

It's not a very nice term, but dorkcore is probably the best description for Genghis Tron's jawdropping amalgamation of programmed beats, eerie samples, math-metal rhythms and damaged, world-on-fire vocals. Check out our review of the band's 2008 album, Board Up the House, which, last year, we ranked the third best record you might not have heard. And for those of you who like to live on the outer fringes, Genghis Tron have released five Board Up the House remix EPs, each of which features other artists reinterpreting their songs.

Anyone who has followed the Orange County metalcore scene knows that Bleeding Through were one of the progenitors of the movement along with Eighteen Visions, Atreyu and Avenged Sevenfold. And while each of the other aforementioned bands has gotten increasingly more mainstream over time, Bleeding Through have become heavier than ever.

When we first clicked onto the link for UVTV's best live videos of 2008 we weren't too impressed. The 35-minute-long video stream started off with Lynam, an Aerosmith-inspired band we've never heard of and never care to hear from again. Next came a video of a trudging, screamy group called Caustic that have hair styles, tattoos and attitude, but couldn't write a decent riff if they had guns to their heads. Then came the sea of mediocrity of Sea of Treachery, which destroy any chance of listenability with drums that drown out everything but the routine vocal metalcore roar. We were about to give up and move on, but we're glad we didn't because the last two-thirds of the video stream feature track after track of spine-grating goodness.

The redemption begins with A Life Once Lost's "Firewater Joyride," and proceeds through a firestorm of quality noise that includes, Genghis Tron's jittery "Things Don't Look Good," Evergreen Terrace's rockin' "Wolfbiker" and Dillinger Escape Plan's "Fix Your Face," which could teach Caustic the meaning of their band name. The stream finishes up with Origin's visceral "Staring From the Abyss" and Dying Fetus' pulverizing "Schematics." There's also Thy Will Be Done's "In the Name Of" sandwiched in there, but you might wanna skip that; we've heard better MySpace deathcore at high school talent shows.

When we were young, we once saw an advertisement for a concert featuring Slayer, Venom and Exodus at the disco club Studio 54 in New York City. At the time we thought this was the heaviest, most insane metal bill ever conceived. Of course, that was 1985, and since then band after band have redefined the very definition of heavy, Since then, we've seen Possessed rip it up with Dark Angel, and we've watched Napalm Death, Carcass and Morbid Angel tear it up together on an Earache showcase, not to mention Deicide sharing a bill with, Obituary, Malevolent Creation and Cannibal Corpse.
