I’m going to attempt to post a cool metal clip every month, so stay tuned for more of these. I’ll try to make them recent releases, but that may not always be possible as they don’t always come along that often.

I’ll start things off in fairly epic style with French metallers Gojira, and their clip for “All the Tears” off their new album “The Way of All Flesh“. Enjoy!

Just thought I’d write a brief update on the gigs I wrote about late last year.

Sweatfest 08 was a bit of a disaster to be honest, as The Acacia Strain, Suicide Silence and A Day To Remember were no-shows due to flight complications. Apparently the story goes that the Virgin Blue flight that all the bands were on was cancelled when the plane touched another in taxi. I couldn’t find it in any news reports, but I’ve heard this story from a few different people on the night and since.

Kudos must go out to Parkway Drive, who flew all the way from Perth, to Melbourne, and back to Adelaide just to play that night. Their efforts went some way to making up for the disappointment many fans were feeling, although the tiredness was showing, with the band making a few uncharacteristic timing slip ups. Personally, I was so pissed off at missing TAS that I don’t think even their best show ever could have made me forget my sorrows.
