New Music/Video
MAXIMUM THE HORMONE 『SHIMI feat. ATARASHII GAKKO!』- https://youtu.be/teRgh01Xb1U These guys are so incredible. What more is there to say? Seriously jealous of the Japanese music culture!
Undeath - More Insane https://youtu.be/OCB6ybFdTkg These dudes know how to death metal! The mix is a little thin, but everything is there. DEFINITELY no rock bass syndrome in the performance.
Christina Aguilara - Genie in a Bottle (spotify anniversary version Feat MGK) https://youtu.be/3UM_HztsoJA Groovier than the original. It says that it was recorded live… but THIS video is not the recording session. MGK’s solo was hot garbage. Bad tone and overly simplistic runs.
Sylosis - The Path feat. Debbie Gough from Hariot https://youtu.be/yPYgo38tpEE Solid modern metal… if not borderline generic. The bridge at the end is pretty good.
Machine Girl - Psychic Attack https://youtu.be/nhbGVa0Y60w noise rock master doing his thing.
Die Antwoord - Ok USA Freestyle https://youtu.be/IdKyDws1Hf8 Production more in line with what we know from them.
Ghostface Killa - Pair of Hammers feat Method Man https://youtu.be/odICF74X2rE from the new Set the Tone album, out now.
