So it's Friday afternoon, and if you're visiting this site that means you're either at work with time to kill, or and home with time to kill. Well, we have a great time killer for you. VBS.tv recently posted a new one-hourish episode of its Music World series dedicated strictly to the current metal scene. The episode is hosted by a dude who has definitely been in the scene, Iano Dovi, a dude who crashed our All That Remains interview once and has tour managed a bunch of bands. So, you were in good hands from the start.
Iano goes on a road trip to London to discuss the origins of heavy metal and also visits the Terrorizer magazine offices and hangs out with TRIGGER THE BLOODSHED and MUTANT, two up and coming British thrash bands. Then, in part 2, the strongest of all the clips in my opinion, Iano spends some time in Sweeden discussing the Gothenburg scene with members of DARK TRANQULITY, IN FLAMES and AT THE GATES. There is some incredibly insightful and epic stuff in this clip. Then, Iano moves to California, chillin' at the Metal Blade offices and hanging out with our bros in SUICIDE SILENCE and the finally in the last clip, spends a day at Mayhem Fest interviewing Tom Araya (who admits ON CAMERA to liking Barry Manilow!!!), Black Dahlia Murder, Killswitch Engage and more.
The whole thing is a good viewing, but if you're pressed for time, seeing as it may seem a little slow at points, I'd recommend just watching the Sweeden part. I have embedded all four parts to the episode after the jump…
Part 2, 3 and 4 after the jump (Part 2 is a must watch)…
