Titans Eve give away song for free

Do you know Titans Eve? No? But you should! I’ve reviewed their debut album The Divine Equal a while ago and gave it a favorable 4 1/2 skull rating. If that wasn’t reason enough for you to check them out, Titans Eve now gave you a third reason (the second reason being “They kick ass, yo!”) to check out The Divine Equal.

They are giving away a song, called ‘Tides Of Doom,’ off their debut album for free right here. Why are they giving away the song for free? Well, to celebrate their nomination at the Vancouver Urban Culture Awards.

If you want to support the band, go here, go to Step 3, choose Metal Band and vote for Titans Eve. Or don’t if you think the other bands deserve it more. You can also vote for 3 Inches of Blood, Quartered, Bison BC, Gross Misconduct, Archon Legion, Tard, Artep or Muspellheim.

Personally, I voted for Titans Eve but I could also understand if you voted for 3 Inches of Blood. The other bands don’t really ring a bell, as I’m not really up-to-date with Canadian metal. Either way, check out the song because it’s killer!

Avenged Sevenfold release video. World laughs.

Avenged Sevenfold released a music video for the song ‘So Far Away.’ What is this, 1998? I thought music videos weren’t popular anymore.

Anyway, you can watch the video after the jump. But does it pass the awesome test?

– A lot of shots of the vocalist singing and emoting while doing so? Check.
– Some young guys having a good time in the video so that the band fools us into thinking they can relate to the youth? Check.
– Skinny guy drumming on his friend’s back? Check.
– Some guy throwing a drink in his face? Check.

This video has EVERYTHING!!!

Learn to play guitar like Jaymz

I think we can all agree that James Hetfield is one of the best metal guitarists around. He may not be a lead guitarist, but he wrote Master Of Puppets. Enough said. That’s like a ‘get out of a metal argument free card’ or something.

– Metallica did this and that, I hate them now!
– But dude, they wrote Master Of Puppets.
– Damn, you’re right.

Anyway, want to play guitar just like him? It’s possible. You must get his new signature EMG pickups, though. That’s all you need, really… Oh, you also need talent, but that’s a relative term these days (Lady Gaga anyone?).

Make the jump for a teaser clip of the pickups. To be honest, they look badass.

The Clown is on Facebook

Ever wondered what the Clown in Slipknot actually does? Yeah me too. Apparently he bangs the trash cans every once in a while, or something. He’s also on Facebook. Now you can go ‘like’ him and view some new Slipknot photos. I guess that’s his new job… Uploading Slipknot photos.

I haven’t seen them myself, I was too busy playing Farmville.

A (new) Perfect Circle album?

Guys, don’t get too excited, but there MIGHT be a new A Perfect Circle album in the pipeline. I know right? Wow… I’m resisting the urge to jack off (although my mom is in the room, so it would be a little weird) and trying so hard to contain my excitement.

I so can’t wait to listen to more boring guitar twiddling with Maynard whining over the top with some vague, cryptic lyrics. Oh my days.

Get the full story here. I’d write more about the story, but I much prefer making subtle jabs at the band and talking about masturbation. I’m a professional, what can I say.
