When most people think of black metal, they think of pasty whiteScandinavian guys shrieking about topics like pagan rites, death,rebirth, and nature in the middle of the woods. It’s about fighting back against cultural oppression (when it’s not rooted in outright bigotry). You know who else has been oppressed and forced to forget their originswhile

When we posted about The Hu last month, we said the “Black Thunder Part 1” music video was “epic proper” and honestly, that’s pretty much how we’d sum up part two. Released earlier today as the Mongolian band gets ready kick off their tour with Five Finger Death Punch, Megadeth, and Fire From The Gods

This could either be really cool or an embarrassing flop, but Megadeth have recorded a Judas Priest cover for an undisclosed Amazon project.

Some things are worth staying up for, and damn it new Clutch music is one of those things. Right at the crack of midnight, the quartet from Maryland dropped their latest single “Slaughter Beach” and an accompanying music video. And as far as Clutch videos go, it sure does go places.
