Beard Of Harmony - Right In Two

Clearly haven't had enough Tool covers on here lately. This is dope.

Brass Against - The Pot

Holy mackinaw this is good. Tried to find something funky and metal and I think this fits the bill. Haven't had a new Tool album in an eternity but if we have to settle for a cover, this is the one I want to listen to on repeat. Sophia Urista crushin' it on vocals.

Tool - Right In Two

Since we've been talking about Mr. Carey, it seems criminal not to post a song by his real band. Upon closer inspection, it's been four years since I posted a video by them, and eight since they released an album. Coincidence? Completely. 

This is not an official video, since they hardly ever put those out, it's a fan-made one using footage from "The Gloaming", a pretty cool animated short worth watching. Man I hope their next album comes out one day. These guys are unquestionably one of the greatest bands on the planet in the history of all time ever. In the universe. Happy now, metalheads?

Tool - Vicarious

Tool is one of my all-time favourite bands. You won't find them on MTV, or in much mainstream media, but they're freakin' awesome. Intelligent progressive metal. So good. If there is one band I have to see live before my time is up it's Tool. I've seen A Perfect Circle, but it's not the same. So the point of me posting is to say two things: 1) Tool is awesome. 2) Don't live vicariously through others.

This video is not for the faint of heart. If you are one of those, harden up.

Unbridled awesome.

Sepultura - Ratamahatta

I went to Metal Monday last night, and unfortunately I missed Manlord and We, The Undersigned, but I did catch Iron Giant. Awesome stuff, great show. Metal fans tend to be badly stereotyped because they wear black and spikey stuff and have lots of tattoos and piercings. I find them to be some of the nicest people around, very soft spoken and of good humour. It seems to me that it's better to get your emotion out at a show or at home listening to some kickass tunes than taking it out on your fellow drivers on the highway, or the guy down at Tim Horton's.

Anyway I could never really classify myself as a metalhead per se, but I do have a lot of time for some really awesome LOUD! music. Really it's metal and industrial that got me into the electronic genre in the first place. In 1996 Sepultura came out with "Roots" that was an awesome follow up to earlier efforts and the last album to feature epic vocalist Max Cavalera. My favourite track is this one, which happened to have a sweet stop-motion Tool-esque video that I remember catching on Muchmusic. Oh, can you imagine? A metal video on Much? Thems were the days...

Need more loud angry awesomeness? Try this one.
