Animosity's (not bobblehead edition) new video for their song "Toothgrinder" was directed by the band's vocalist, Leo Miller, and filmed in their hometown of San Francisco.

"We are all pretty sick of these retarded music videos of bands playing in dark warehouses or on top of snowy mountains and whatnot. It made more sense to make a video that is more relative to our band and our lives. The whole day [of filming] was a blast," Miller told Headbanger's Blog.

Frolicking about San Fran on a bright sunny day isn't very metal, guys. Perhaps in the future you ought to consider filming in a dark warehouse or on a snow-capped mountaintop or something.

NOLA sludge metallers Soilent Green have a troubled history. The band has been involved in multiple automobile accidents; in 2004 former bassist Scott Williams was killed in an apparent murder/suicide; and a year later former vocalist Glen Rambo was killed in Hurricane Katrina.

Soilent Green will be releasing their new album, Inevitable Collapse in the Presence of Conviction, next Tuesday via Metal Blade.

"[The album is about] the basic idea of no hope. It's in reference to the history of Soilent Green and also just life in general," vocalist Ben Falgoust notes. "Everybody is always picturing things with a happy ending, but life's not always like that."

Time to take the energy down a notch or twenty. Beach House, who we like to refer to as the Earth of indie rock, just released a new video for the song "Gila" off their recently released sophomore album Devotion. It's dark, a little creepy, and if it happens to be raining where you are, it'll provide the perfect soundtrack.
