Above you will find the droolworthy 50 second teaser of Animals As Leaders' first music video for the track CAFO. I'm into it! The video was directed by Scott Hansen with animation and visual effects by AFTER, who have collaborated with the band on past art and graphic design. Of course, we have two sick live clips of the band to hold you over until the video comes out.
The first full track from The Damned Things has surfaced on Metal Insider. The band of course features Anthrax guitarists Scott Ian and Rob Caggiano, Fall Out Boy guitarist and drummer Joe Trohman and Andy Hurley respectively as well as Keith Buckley of Every Time I Die on vox. Their debut album, Ironiclast comes out December 14th. I gotta say, the track is actually incredibly infectious.
Let's turn things a bit sludgy for a second. Arson Anthem, the NOLA supergroup featuring Phil Ansemlo, Mike Williams and Hank Williams III has made their entire album available for streaming on their MySpace page. The two tracks I sampled sound great. Exactly what you would expect from these veterans of the game.
Baptized In Blood, one of the bands playing our CMJ showcase, have posted a new MP3 up for download (in exchange for your email address, natch). Check 'em out and see what all the fuss is about. After all, their manager is Dave friggen Mustaine.
Bro down with Madball as the band has posted two new tracks on their MySpace page.
Finally, The Ocean have posted an incredible new track called "She Was The Universe" on their MySpace page. If you like brooding heavy prog metal, this sucker is definitely for you.
