Horror movie website FEAR.net had the honors of premiering a new video off of Converge‘s upcoming Axe To Fall today. The moment I was told the video was being premiered today, I jumped to the site and checked out the insanely loud and brutal video. FEAR.net also took a moment to interview lead singer Jacob Bannon asking him questions about the upcoming release as well as the disturbing video.
This video very well may scare some folk so I need to slap a NSFW warning before you click play…
Pretty freaky huh? The new song is pure insanity to my ears.
If you love to subject yourself to horror movies and have not heard of FEAR.net before you best find your way to their site. I can guarantee you that you will lose hours and hours of time checking out movies and shows offered on the site, many free of charge.
FEAR.net will be celebrating their third year this Halloween. If you are looking for a scare I am sure you will find it within their website.
Be sure to also grab the new Converge when it drops later this month. Axe To Fall is Converge’s seventh album and will be released on October 20th on Epitaph Records. From what I am hearing so far it is going to be beyond amazing…
Coheed & Cambria mastermind Claudio Sanchez is not all about the music you know… Evil Ink Comics is a company Sanchez created for his comic books that stream along with the sci-fi albums many have loved, ahem, obsessed over for the last few years…
Obsessed is such a meek word to me when talking about this sci-fi genus…worshiped sounds much better. I am a Co&Ca freak and love everything Sanchez has ever done and look forward to everything else he comes up with. I am super excited about all the upcoming projects and releases he is partaking in but it is not fair for me to discuss…
Claudio had a message for his people that he shared on various sites and now I am sharing it with you…
Hello everyone,..
With the debut of Kill Audio this week, a new Coheed album in the works, PFI (Prize Fighter Inferno) slowly brewing and the end of the year quickly approaching, I wanted to take a second to address Evil Inks other running projects and things you have been asking about.
The second TAW Trade will be coming out in December through Image comics. We wanted to get it out for you guys sooner, but it seems the comic world has it’s own calendar sometimes. Nevertheless, there will be some cool extras in it that we will start to unveil when we get a little closer to release. Also, keep in mind that the birth of Kill Audio does not mean for a second that The Amory Wars saga has been shelved or forgotten. In fact, I’ve been hard at work on a brand new TAW project for almost a year. All we can say now is it’s going to be unlike anything Evil Ink has done yet and we think you’ll be as excited as I am about it. We’ll give you more info around Christmas time.
For the time being, I hope you enjoy Kill Audio when he arrives at your local comic shop tomorrow and let his little troll ass and gang of degenerates into your hearts. I think you’ll find the story will keep you on your toes and keep an eye out for Mr. Sheldon’s Coheed and TAW easter eggs scattered throughout. There will plenty of catching up with your friendly Amory Wars characters in December and much more to come.
Just wanted to send out a quick apology to all 7 of my readers. Recently I took on a new position at the paying gig (aka work) that has been taking up a lot of my free time. My hours range from early morning to late nights so my sleeping pattern is kind of messed up at the moment.
I can tell you that I have not forgotten about this little site I run here and have tons I need to share with you. I just need to stop wanting to hibernate every time I come home.
I do have some concerts lined up this week and beyond:
Strike Anywhere / Polar Bear Club – Grog Shop – 10/08/09 I am super excited to see both acts. There’s nothing quite like a punk rock show and a handful of friends will be joining me.
Sadly I will be missing another show that night since I can’t be in two places at one time. A band called Youth Group is playing at Musica in Akron. I have heard great thinks about these guys from Australia.
Here, see for yourself:
Mike Doughty – Beachland Ballroom – 10/13/09 The one time lead man of Soul Coughing returns to Cleveland touring in support of his latest release Sad Man, Happy Man, a CD I am trying to finish reviewing. Having seen Mike Doughty many times in the past I know this is going to be one awesome show.
Converge w/ High On Fire – Grog Shop – 10/19/09 I am really hoping to make this show… You have no idea how badly I want to see Converge. I just hope I can make it.
Mae w/ special guest Jenny Owen Youngs – Musica – 10/30/09 I am super pumped to see both artists this night not only because I am a big fan of both but I get to hang out with my good pal Matt from Addicted To Vinyl and his super cool lady.
The Whigs w/ The Features – Musica – 10/31/09 As if one night with ATV and lady is not good enough I am going to hang out with them both again to see another great line-up. I previously saw The Features at the Grog Shop when Those Darlins played with them so I know they are entertaining already and this will be the first time seeing The Whigs live. Good times to be had, I know it.
Gallows – Grog Shop – 11/08/09 This show is going to be insane…I know it. This UK band always is a insane act to see live. I expect Frank Carter and crew to cause some hell on this Sunday night.
Here is a reason why I love Gallows so much:
Insanity. I love it.
So far that is all I have lined up but you never know. I am trying my hardest to see as many shows as I can.
I’m planning on knocking out some reviews here shortly and I have some amazing bands I want to share with everyone including FREE MP3s! So hang in there and I promise to spoil you with something entertaining.
Seems like I have been pimping out Har Mar Superstar a lot lately. I can’t help it, he’s great. I still have yet to hear the entire album that just dropped recently called Dark Touches but I did get to hear the first single from the release “Tallboy”. Electro-catchy and now put into video format for you all to enjoy.
Fun little fact for you all: This song was was originally submitted for Britney Spears. After Spears rejected the song Har Mar decided to sing it himself. I think it was meant to be…
Are you still reading this? Well I might as well add one more Har Mar tidbit. There is a movie about the hot hot sport of roller derby coming out this weekend called Whip It. Har Mar plays a roller derby coach in the movie. He also recorded a cover of an Association song, “Never My Love”, with Flea, yes from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, on the horns that can be heard during the credits as well as on the soundtrack to the movie.
Two Flea references in two posts… It was a fluke I swear!!!
What? You have not heard of Whip It yet? Well of course I will post a trailer of the movie…
I’m not going to lie, this movie scares the crap out of me. One, I know I will like it. That Juno girl always wins me over. Two, I am a huge fan of roller derby and I am afraid this movie it going to make the sport too popular. Before you know it, Kanye is going to make a rap song about it.
The sport does deserve credit, those women take a lot of pain in doing what they love. It’s real. I am glad that there are real actors in this movie too though… I will be checking it out.
It just seems to me that sometimes people will look for anything to make a movie. What’s next, a movie about two people playing cornhole who fall in love? I think I am on to something…
UPDATE:
Thanks to one of my readers named Jen my dreams of one day making a cornhole movie were shattered after she brought this to my attention…
The nameless band will be playing two shows. Once on Oct. 4th and one on Oct. 5th in Los Angeles.
