With all due respect to the best metal video ever made, this one by new Metalsucks discoveries The Giraffes is a close second. Striking in its simplicity, there’s something undeniably brutal and captivating about two drunk dudes trading blows with each other for 5+ minutes. Kind of like this video of real bears playing hockey.

The United States has a brilliant new President in Mr. Barack Obama, and here we are debating whether or not Christians can make tr00 black metal. What can I say? Here are some other things that happened this week:
Til Monday…
No, not those Giraffes.
This sketch from Saturday Night Live isn’t the funniest thing in the world, but it is metal-related, and it’s a slow news day, and it’s nice to know that at least one of the writers at SNL has an affinity for our kind of music. So, enjoy.

We confess: we didn’t know shit about The Giraffes until today. But we know good music when we hear it and we pride ourselves on diversity (within metal, that is); so when we were offered the opportunity to premier a new track by Brooklyn’s own The Giraffes, we jumped at the chance.
“Smoke Machine” from their forthcoming album Prime Motivator is a ripping blend of thrash, classic metal, punk and even elements of boogie/surf guitar. Fans of Metallica, Big Business and Clutch alike are about equally as likely to dig the eclectic blend of rock and metal The Giraffes have going on here.
Prime Motivator drops next Tuesday, November 11th on Crustacean Records; if you dig this track, we think you’ll dig the album too.
