KFC Joins Forces with Black Metal
Now this is hilarious. This is a Canadian KFC commercial advertising a hot chicken box meal. What do they use to make their pitch? Nonehttp://blogcritics.org/mt/mt.cgi?__mode=view&_type=entry&blog_id=1 other than a fake black metal band called, get this, Hellvetica. The commercial opens with the band in full spikes and corpse paint on stage playing some generic sounding tune. From there we get flames and an odd reaction to some spicy chicken.

Machinery - "Cold"
Swedish act Machinery have just released their latest video. The track is "Cold" and it hails from their album The Passing. I had never heard of them before checking out this video, but I have to say I really like the track. There is a certain hypnotic quality to the melodic nature of the cut. I am going to have to check out more from them. The album's producer Jonas Kjellgren omments: "It's a truly epic and diverse metal album with great songs and an unique style that covers everything I love about metal: heavy metal, death metal, black metal, thrash metal! Superb drums, guitars, bass, keyboards and vocals... all you need, hehe. It was really fun to work with the band since they're all truly amazing musicians and have a very professional attitude towards making music!"
Very promising indeed.
Korea - "GPHH38"
Korea, from Sweden, has recently released their debut album, here is a video for the first single from the album. I like the video, has a nice off-kilter feel to it. The song itself isn't half bad either. It has a catchy rhythm and plenty of melody. The biggest criticism is that the drums are not all that aggressive, they kind of hide in the background, beef them up a little and it would make a nice impact on the song.
