SEPIA WALLS OF THE DAMNED

 Thursday, January 21st, 2010 at 1:30pm by

Charred Walls of the Damned are barely even in their new video, for the song “Ghost Town,” and when they do show up, it’s in a manner that I find kinda cheesy. Still, I really dig this video overall, and I kinda wonder why more metal bands don’t remain absent from their own videos. That way they don’t have to stand there doing take after take of the same song, and they can just hire a director with some vision to go off and make something cool for them. I mean, it worked for Tool, right?

“Ghost Town” comes off of Charred Walls of the Damned’s self-titled debut, which Metal Blade will release on February 2. If you haven’t done so already, check our interview with CWOTD drummer/founder/main man Richard Christy… yes, that Richard Christy.

    Uh weren’t all of Tool’s videos made by Adam Jone’s vision?

    I figure most bands appear in their videos for the same reason that football players take their helmets off when near a camera.

    That music is infinitely better than i expected….man, Richard Christy is still a beast on drums and Ripper can still rip. Sounds like its going to be a good band.

    Man, that was some good stuff. Ripper Owens can be a bit over the top, but that was pretty fucking great.

    And having the band show up was the only misstep in that video… it was creepy and the sepia tone gave a perfect atmosphere.

    Not bad. Christy was spot on in this one. Solos are good, bass-work was good (albeit just a touch too low in the mix) and Ripper is carrying it well. I think this merits a purchase.

      OK, seriously, people? You need to keep this thread breathing.

    I cannot wait for this album. I’ve listened to this damn song a hundred times in a week.
