Music Media: Whitechapel, Gwar, Offensive Cover Tunes, Judas Priest, Drudgery, Vasco Rossi, "Saga - Ópera Extravagante," Drowning Pool

Part of: Music Media

The journey into music videos has moved into its seventh week. Let's all count along!

This week continues my compiling of videos and various musical related tid-bits for your viewing pleasure. Some will be brand spanking new, while others will just be things that I like. I am not great with the timeliness yet, but I hope you've been enjoying these video collections and actually desire more.

The majority of the videos will fall in the metal realm, as that is where my primary musical interests lie. My tastes definitely extend beyond metal, but as I read on a forum once: "My tastes may have broadened as I have gotten older, but metal will always be my first love."

In any case, read on and enjoy!

Whitechapel - This is Exile Video, Art, Track List

Whitechapel's latest album is due to be released on July 8 through Metal Blade Records. The album is called This is Exile and the title track is also the first video. They play what I can only describe as deathcore. It sounds about right, although I have seen them called death/grind. Aren't genre labels fun? Anyway, the cut is brutal, and easy to get into. The video is all right, though nothing particularly special.

02. This Is Exile
03. Possession
04. To All That Are Dead

09. Eternal Refuge
10. Of Legions

Gwar - "Eighth Lock"

Gwar is a cool band, not always a good band, but not a bad one by any stretch. One thing's for sure, their gimmick has served them well for many years. This track comes from Beyond Hell, a surprisingly strong album. I am sure Strapping Young Lad's Devin Townsend sitting in the producer's chair doesn't hurt. Anyway, check out this video of the costumed mad men.

Offensive Cover Tunes

The UK's Daily Mail published a list of the most offensive cover songs. Topping the list is the Celine Dion/Anastasia duet of AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long," followed by Girls Aloud vs Sugarbabes doing "Walk This Way," as originally done by Aerosmith and Run DMC. Just so you know how bad they are, the videos are below.
