Hung over from the weekend? How about a little battle metal from Finnish viking metal band, TURISAS. We have an exclusive live track of the band performing The Dnieper Rapids live. The band is currently raping and pillaging their way across the United States with DRAGONFORCE so make sure to check them out. If you need some convincing, check out the hordes of live footage we have of the band.

One of the bands that really stood out during CMJ a few weeks back, was Brooklyn's own TOMBS. This non-stop aural assault had the jaded industry crowd headbanging along with the non-industry heads in attendance. We just uploaded two live videos of the band, and if you are having trouble waking up this Monday morning, maybe this will help…

It's Monday morning, the weather is changing and I'm feeling sick. But luckily, we have a free download of the new song by THE FACELESS for you to wake you up, cause it's certainly keeping me awake right now. The new album is quite amazing (we got an advanced listen), comes out in 3 weeks (11/11) and you should probably get it. For now, check out the new track below, and if you haven't checked out our live video of (in my opinion) the best song on the album, Xenochrist, something is wrong with you!

The beauty of leaving your iPod on shuffle sometimes is that a band you really haven't listened to for a while comes on and then you go "Fuck man, I haven't listened to this in a while, this is awesome." I found myself is such a situation a few weeks ago, when the song "The Right To Arm Bears" off of ELECTRO QUARTERSTAFF's amazing LP Gretsky popped in the rotation, and I have not been able to take the album out of my rotation for a while. If you aren't familiar with ELECTRO QUATERSTAFF they are a five-piece all instrumental band from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Yes, 5 members, no vocalist…which means, they have an extra shredder in the band to blow your fucking mind. Check out the MP3 of The Right to Arm Bears below, and I promise it will wake you up from your Monday morning haze. Then, head over to their Myspace page and listen to more shred-tastic goodness!
