Welcome to your weekend! Wrap your metallic lugs around these beauties…
Iodine Sky – “Broken Cross”
With their debut album out yesterday, this is as good a time as any to expose yourself to this quality up-and-coming band. Like the video? Grab the album!
Broken Cross is the first song that started Tides as a concept and our revival as a band, we hold it very closely to our hearts.
It’s about the times when you realise that someone else might love you more than you love yourself and the last thing you want is to see their world change because of it.
We think everyone’s been in a similar relationship in their lives this is our way of telling that experience, we hope you enjoy it.
Doro – “Bad Blood” (feat. Lordi)
Ms Pesch has a live DVD coming out shortly and here’s another sample from it, this time featuring Mr Lordi himself! Strong and Proud – 30 Years Of Rock And Metal is out on June 24th through Nuclear Blast.
Nuclear – “Evil Dead” (Death Cover)
Released on the 25th of this month, Nuclear’s cover of the classic Death track celebrated 29 years since the release of Scream Bloody Gore. The video is made up of random footage from the band – recording, live shows and wandering around their native Chile.
Joseph Arthur – “Machines Of War”
Ending on a lighter, more melancholy note is the new video from Joseph Arthur’s forthcoming The Family album (June 3rd).
“Machines of War” wasn’t meant to be a protest song but rather part of the greater story in The Family. It’s sung from the perspective of my/one’s Grandfather going off to fly a fighter plane in World War Two. But as I wrote it and sung it I did start feeling the emotion of the personal loss war creates. The loss of war factors heavily in the overall story of The Family and I felt that that obviously resonated with the current times.
