Music Media: Matt Byrne, Hatebreed, Witchbreed, Omnium Gatherum, AC/DC, Testament, Moments of Sanity (w/George Lynch), August Burns Red, and Gojira

Part of: Music Media

The journey into music videos (and other bits) continues its mission to deliver you something worthy of your time, perhaps introducing you to something new along the way.

This week I continue compiling videos and various musical related tidbits for your viewing pleasure. Some will be brand spanking new, while others will just be things I like. I am not great with the timeliness yet, but I hope you've been enjoying these video collections.

Matt Byrne - Drummer for Hatebreed

Way back in the days of my youth, my best friend was the kid around the corner named Matt. We would hang out, play video games, whatever. Then when high school started, we got the idea of starting a band. He took up the drums, I took up the guitar, and it turns out, I stunk. He didn't and went on to become the drummer for Hatebreed. Here are a couple of clips of him playing (he gives lessons, too):

Hatebreed - "Destroy Everything (live)"

I loved this song from the first moment I heard it. "Destroy Everything" is one of those songs that gets the adrenaline flowing. It is immediate, to the point, and very, very catchy. This live version lives up to the album.

Witchbreed - In the Studio

Witchbreed is in the studio recording their debut album. The band hails from Portugal and features former members of Moonspell and Deepskin. Their debut album is to be called Heretic Rapture. They have posted a clip from the studio, and it is short, but it does interest me.

Omnium Gatherum - "Nail"

Hailing from Finland, Omnium Gatherum has a release date for their fourth album, The Red Shift. It will land on US shores October 22, 2008. Well in advance of the release, they have posted the video for "Nail." I'd never heard of them, but I am looking forward to this new album as this is a really cool track. They have a melodic/death metal presence that I like. See the video, as well as album art and track listing below:
