Monday Metal Update 6/9

Our favorite party thrashers, Municipal Waste, have released a video for the song "Sadistic Magician" off their 2007 album The Art of Partying.

[T]he clip features the band performing "Sadistic Magician" inside an extremely volatile nuclear power plant. The plant can't handle the manic energy of MUNICIPAL WASTE and starts falling apart, causing absolute gory mayhem to befall the citizens and wildlife of the areas surrounding it.

There's plenty of toxic green ooze in the video (probably from the above barrels), and that's never a bad thing.

Municipal Waste - "Sadistic Magician":



The Waste will be tearing it up on the road next month with At The Gates.

We've said it before and we'll say it again-- Boston's Have Heart are picking up right where Modern Life Is War left off. The hardcore quintet just posted a new track on their MySpace, "Hard Bark on the Family Tree," which comes off their forthcoming album, Songs to Scream at the Sun (July 8th, Bridge 9). They've got a ways to go before they are in the same league as MLIW, but they're on the right track.

We've made our love for Dethklok known around here, and now the New York Times is getting in on the action. Check out their poorly-written and utterly uninteresting feature on Metalocalypse creators Brendan Small and Tommy Blacha here (thanks Kelli).



We mentioned it briefly before, but here's the trailer for Lemmy: The Movie:



"Rock n' roll is Lemmy. Lemmy is rock n' roll!"
