Seether Speak Out Against Police Brutality With Interactive “Nobody Praying For Me” Music Video

Posted by caemanamelio on

Seether have launched a new interactive video for their song “Nobody Praying For Me.” The clip is divided into five videos showcasing two police officers gunning down a kid. Each video offers a different perspective, including one from the police, one from the victim, one from a bystander, one from a liberal news station and one from a conservative news station. Shaun Morgan said the following about the video, which will be combined into one non-interactive video tomorrow (July 1):

“Our goal in creating this video is for people to educate themselves and make an informed decision on their own, rather than being told by any media outlet saying, this is what you should be thinking, this is what is right, explains Morgan. The whole point is to try and shift the way we look at things and to not always leap to our pre-conceived conclusions, which is mostly racially and profile-based, because that’s what we get fed all the time. I’ve been guilty of it too. Its very unfortunate, and it’s getting worse instead of better.”

Check out the clips below or head to nobodyprayingforme.com. You can also check out Morgan’s interview about the video over at Huffington Post.

Soulfly Premiere New Song “We Sold Our Souls To Metal”

Posted by caemanamelio on

Lamb Of God Premiere “Overlord” Music Video

Posted by caemanamelio on

Lamb Of God have premiered a new video for their new song “Overlord.” This song is from the band’s new album, VII: Sturm Und Drang, which will be released on July 24.

Randy Blythe said the following about the track:

“For years I’ve wished that I could have a movie camera directly linked to my brain so that some of the ideas I see in my mind’s eye could be translated into film for others to watch. Although that is obviously an impossibility (and probably a good thing- I find many things amusing that might not be so funny to everyone else), the video for “Overlord” is the next best thing for me. I came up with the idea and wrote the treatment for this video myself- to see Jorge (the director) take my concept, add his own touches, and use his technical know-how to translate my “mental script” into a suitably dark visual narrative is just an awesome, awesome experience for me. Oh yeah- if you’re out and about, watching the video on your pocket hate machine (mobile phone), try not to wander into traffic. A little situational awareness goes a long way.”

There is also a track by track breakdown posted over at Rolling Stone, in which Blyhe added:

“I figure we’re about eight records deep at this point so if I wanna try my hand at some clean singing, I can. There are a lot of people that are gonna be mad about it, but fuck them.”

Battlecross Premiere New Song “Spoiled”

Posted by caemanamelio on

Battlecross have premiered a new song titled “Spoiled,” via Loudwire. This song is from the band’s new album, Rise To Power, which will be released on August 21.

Tony Asta said the following about the track:

“‘Spoiled‘ kicks in with a heavy rockin old-school vibe and progresses into a brutal more technical feel. It’s also a really fun song to jam. The subject matter and lyrics of “Spoiled” were inspired by the dependency on modern technology, more specifically the cyber world. An entire generation thrives from its use but does not know what it was like before the internet existed. It IS a great tool, although the magnitude of its impact on our everyday lives sometimes gives me the chills. This is the only song I had a hand in writing lyrics for and you can thank the “phone-gazing zombies” for it.”
