Theocracy "Hide in the Fairytale" video

Power metal is sometimes referred to as "old metal". Far from it, power metal is alive and vibrant. Check out this great video from Theocracy, who remain as one of the best in the genre. "Hide in the Fairytale" is included on their album As The World Bleeds.

For Today - Lego music video

I've never seen anything like this before.  An animated Lego music video featuring For Today's song "Devastator".  Every scene done with Lego characters!  This is not an "official" video, but was fan created. Could anything be more awesome than this?
 

New video by The Skies Revolt

There is a new music video out by The Skies Revolt for their new song "It's All In The Reflexes".  I just found out about this band while reading an online addition of HM magazine.  Think of Danielson Famile with a rock edge.  The video is available exclusively through the HM magazine site.

Marc Martel is Freddie Mercury

It came as no surprise to hear the news this weekend that Marc Martel, vocalist for the band downhere, will take front stage as he portrays Freddie Mercury.  Martel will be on stage for the next year as he handles lead vocals for the Queen Extravaganza tour.  Martel vocals were featured in an audition he did for the role.  Marc's video of his performance of "Somebody to Love" was, bluntly put, astounding and 5 million YouTube viewers agreed. In LA last week, Martel did a formal audition with former Queen drummer Roger Taylor who made the final decision to let Martel take the Freddie Mercury spot.  Mercury passed away 20 years ago as a result of contracting AIDS.

I posted this video before, but it's worth a second look.

Five Iron Frenzy Returns!

The greatest of all ska bands has returned to the studio. After an 8 year hiatus, Five Iron Frenzy has announced that they are back in the studio recording a new album. FIF initiated a kickstarter campaign to generate funds to record the album. Their goal was to raise $30,000 in a 6 week span. They raised that figure in just 55 minutes. Current tally is $109,000. All the funds the band raises over the $30K goal will be used for promotion and to enable the band to play some shows. If you want to participate click here.

Yes, I was saving the best for last. Five Iron Frenzy is offering a free download of their new song, “It Was a Dark and Stormy Night”, on purevolume.com! The track can also be downloaded through their own website.
