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.

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.

We recently posted an item about how a growing number of major bands, including Metallica, Judas Priest and Gojira have chosen to release animated videos over performance-based clips. Now, Heaven and Hell (a.k.a. Black Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio) have joined the pack. The band's video for "The Bible Black," the first single from their new album The Devil You Know (out tomorrow) features cartoon imagery of a bored angel who discovers an evil book and plummets into Hell, where he meets the cartoon version of Sabbath and Dio. The clip was produced by Joseph A. Russo II and James A. Fino of 23d Films, Inc. and directed by Ben Ceccarelli.

Bethel, Connecticut band Sacred Oath recently released its fourth record Sacred Oath, and just three days later the album hit #46 on the iTunes rock chart. "This is our time. Classic metal is back," says singer Rob Thorne. "Hand me the damn flag, I’ll wave it with pride.”

To help the band celebrate its success, HeadbangersBlog.com is proud to present the online debut of their new video "Counting Zeros."

"I couldn’t be happier," said Thorne. "Counting Zeros is my favorite track on the album for so many reasons, not least of which is the lyric content. A few years ago we were uncovering the corruption underneath the war in Iraq. Now we’re neck deep in AIG bonuses and Bernie Madoff. 'Counting Zeros' is a call to arms."

One of the great lyrics of 2008: "What don't kill ya make ya more strong" from Metallica's "Broken, Beat & Scarred."

It's actually a grammatically incorrect re-phrasing of the Friedrich Nietzsche axiom "That which does not kill us makes us stronger," but it gets the point across in colloquial terms and is as relevant today as it was when it was first spoken. Moreover, it's a slogan of optimism for anyone who feels abused, beaten down, undervalued or betrayed. Feel like sh-t today? Drink heavily tonight. Shake your hangover off tomorrow and come back the next day less naive and more informed, with a realistic perspective on your misfortune and a bit more insight on the selfish nature of mankind.
