Music Media: Metallica, Opeth, Hate Gallery, Mind Assault, Cloudscape, Legion of the Damned

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 timeliness, but I hope you've been enjoying these video collections.

Metallica - "Broken, Beaten, and Scarred" (live)

Watching Metallica playing live in these posted clips is a little odd. I cannot say exactly why, but something seems off. Yes, they look like they are having a good time and the performances are good, but there is something nagging that I cannot seem to verbalize. In any case, here is pro-shot footage from a recent show:


Opeth - "Burden"

Swedish act Opeth have recently released a new video. The song is "Burden" and it is from the Watershed album. I have only heard a couple albums from this act, including The Roundhouse Tapes live album, which is fantastic. This is the second single, following "Porcelain Heart," which I think I like better. Still, this is a gorgeous song and the video is not too bad either.


Hate Gallery - "The Idiots"

Hate Gallery's debut album was recently released in Europe. "The Idiots" is the lead single from Compassion Fatigue and was written as a reaction to "reality TV, the cult of celebrity and more seriously the everyday surveillance of the citizen by our governments." At least that is what frontman Janne Jarvis says. As for the song? It is all right although it fails to stand out from the crowd.
