METAL INJECTION: NOW WITH 110% MORE AWESOME

 Friday, April 25th, 2008 at 10:48am by

Our very good friends/fellow potheads over at Metal Injection have just re-launched their site, elevating it from sweet to super-sweet. The re-jiggered site features a new forum, new galleries, and, best of all, the ability to readers to upload their own shit to the site’s already fantastic video section. In other words, if you have footage of your crappy unsigned band, now you can share with like-minded metal junkies!

Seriously, though, I’ve seen some MetalSucks readers ask why we don’t video interviews, and the truth is, Metal Injection pretty much have the market cornered on awesome video content. Don’t believe me? Check out the live footage of Born of Osiris, one of our favorite up and coming young bands, performing their song “Rosencrance” below. Support this band so that they can make a follow up (presumably titled “Guildenstern”) real soon!

    Fuckin – A!….
    This is what we need, young bands like this doing some awesome & original music… verrrry nice..

  • Joe

    hey, i think somebody cellphone was going off during that song…oh wait it’s just their FUCKING KEYBOARD.

  • 36Thoughtless

    I think I heard a breakdown in that song, or maybe it was the whole thing.

    I figured the lack of video interviews had more to do with your faces made for radio. Or for your safety. I know it’s hard enough for you gents to go out in public as it is without mobs of fan.

    I absolutely hate this new breed of play your guitar up to your neck metal. 90′s nu metal had more groove than this cut/paste gibberish.

    This is original?? Please explain what is original about this.

    Come on.. with the multitude of ‘deathcore’ and ‘look how many oddly and badly placed notes i can hit in a second whilst someone screams incoherently’ bands, a band like this represents a decent approach to song writing. Granted it may not be totally or completely original, but its a hell of a lot better than the majority of bands floating around.
    Personally they kind of remind me of BTBAM, but not quite as majestic, but more gritty. I realise this doesnt make them a totally original band, but who genuinely does what BTBAM does? im sure only a handfull of names unless im mistaken.. i think that says enough..

    @Byron:

    ‘look how many oddly and badly placed notes i can hit in a second whilst someone screams incoherently’?? Man, that is brilliant. Okay the that genre is now called LHMOABPNICHIASWSSI.

    My general thinking is that while some music in the genre may be technically proficient, if it’s that noisy and chaotic, will anyone know if you’ve missed a note or lyric? If that’s the case, then is it really that much a display of true talent?

    I’m not answering the above question because I don’t know the answer. However, of all the good (in my definition anyway) rock/metal bands I’ve heard over the years, I could tell a bad note from a good one. If this particular math/death/chaoscore genre is misplayed, how would anyone know? Does that make them talented or gibberish writers?

    (Of course, some might argue that every note in played by the bands I happen to like are misplayed.)

  • Byron. W

    I feel theres a distinct difference.. although some bands play in a ‘noisy’ or ‘chaotic’ manner, there are bands out there who do it with structure, as odd as it may seem. On the surface it may sound al over the place etc, but you recognised at least some form of structure within the song itself, whereas with some bands, it literally comes down to hitting a lot of notes.. well that just never add up to anything..

    End of the day its all down to opinion of course..

    BOO kicks ass! The only thing about their debut album is the songs are too short. They seem to have huge potential and I hope they get even better as time goes on. This band is a big reason I’m so amped for summer slaughter.
