Underoath Too Bright To See, Too Loud To Hear

MSO reports: Underoath have announced the MySpace global premiere of the video for "Too Bright To See, Too Loud To Hear," the new single off their fourth studio album Lost In The Sound Of Separation (Tooth & Nail/Solid State). "Too Bright To See, Too Loud To Hear" will hit Alternative and Rock radio in early June.

For the striking clip, Underoath re-teamed with the Swedish production team Popcore Films--with whom the band received a Grammy nomination for "Best Short Form Video" for the song "Writing on the Walls."

"We knew we wanted to do something unique because we've never had a song like this before," explains [guitarist Tim] Mctague of the muted track with electronic touches. "We talked to our good friends from Sweden and decided to try something new. This is our fifth video with Popcore, so we felt confident in our communication, and direction; they couldn't have done a better job in our opinion." - video

Goatwhore Eye New Album Release

Metal Blade reports: New Orleans, LA's sons of American no-frills black metal, Goatwhore, have just announced that the title of their fourth full-length album, and second for Metal Blade, will be Carving Out the Eyes of God.

For the follow up to 2006's A Haunting Curse, Goatwhore headed back to St. Petersburg, FL to record with producer Erik Rutan at Manna Studios with mastering being handled by Alan Douches of West West Side.

Vocalist Ben Falgoust comments on the direction of the new album; "I don't really know how to explain this. I don't want to come off with the typical speech about how this record is our best yet and all of that. I will say that I am quite pleased how it has turned out and all parts relating to it. I feel every member put a great deal of effort into their part of the project. I even feel Erik Rutan busted his ass even more this time to make us feel that we didn't take any steps backwards in the recording and production of this release�I don't even really care what the critics say. I think the end result is basically coming up with something you have put a lot of work into and the satisfaction achieved in completing it. I will say that the new material is ripping metal and we still have that 'Goatwhore' sound, whatever that may mean for each individual that enjoys or hates what we do. Just look at it as another step in the evolution of this band. Each person that hears it will have his or her own perception of it. Like it or not, we don't have a say in it. The only thing we can do is just keep writing the way we do and accept the criticism. Doesn't mean we are gonna listen to the criticism and change. Just give it an honest listen and if you dig it, awesome! If you don't, then pass it on to a friend or use it as a new drink coaster." - more on this story

Army Navy Poke Fun At Music Videos In New Video

PR reports: Los Angeles indie-pop group Army Navy is proud to announce the release of its new music video for the single "Saints."

Directed by Ben Cresciman, the video for "Saints" takes a swipe at the absurdities built in to the process of making a music video: bossy label execs, egomaniacal directors, on-set drama, bathroom sex and throwup ... all seen through the eyes (and lens) of lead singer Justin Kennedy's 10-year-old nephew. If you saw the band's previous video that featured Human Giant's Paul Scheer, you're sure to find this quite amusing as well. Check it out here!

Army Navy released their self-titled debut album on their own label The Fever Zone in late 2008. The band is prepping a July 6th 7" single and download for "Saints" on legendary Brit-pop label Fierce Panda's Fandango Records and will be hitting Europe with a slew of dates this Fall. - more on this story

InnerKill Prepping Their Debut Album

Glass Onyon reports: Metal band InnerKill are currently recording their debut album 'Barbed Wire Noose' which follows their self-released 3 track demo, the self-titled 'InnerKill'. Featuring Roswell, New Mexico locals Rich Harkness and Chuck "Rabid" Ivey (former vocalist and bassist for Odd Man Out) and Chris Sheriff (Children of a Lesser God), and introducing guitarists Paul Paschall, Jr. and Josh "Travolta" Burns, InnerKill hope to dig into the scene again with their monster album. The band's 2008 release 'InnerKill' has gotten some major and local attention from fans, supporters and the music press looking forward to the new tracks.

InnerKill's demo version of "Gagged and Bound" has seen some internet radio play on the Raven's Eggs and Kegs Metal Show based out of Colorado. Raven's review of the track was positive, and he has requested the studio version to be added to his rotation. This was followed up with the title track "Barbed Wire Noose" being submitted to the same program. It has also been received well.

'Barbed Wire Noose' will include the three tracks from the demo plus eight new ripping tunes, including local favorite "Guillotine". " 'Guillotine' was actually written while I was in Odd Man Out," explains founder and bassist Chuck "Rabid" Ivey. "The original version failed to meet my expectations. With Chris adding the missing thunder to the song, and Paul adding the siren guitar solos which were absent in the original version, 'Guillotine' is going to knock some fans out. It is finally written and delivered the way it was meant to be." Tracks that didn't make the prior band's cut but are now added to the InnerKill arsenal are "Gagged and Bound" and "Blood, Sweat and Blood". Rabid explains, "These songs were written in our transition from our former band to the new InnerKill. These tunes are somewhat dark in content because I was going through a difficult time in my life. 'Gagged and Bound' has this wicked bass line which others have sort of deemed to be played like a lead guitar." - more on this story

. Legends Live: Jeff Beck

WOW! Intense! Thats the best way to describe it... INTENSE... He is something beyond a guitar player. He is more than a musician. He is a master of his instrument. Much like Dick Dale in concert, he pulls sounds from a guitar that seem impossible. (5 stars) - Read the full Legends Live: Jeff Beck review

. Kreator- Exodus- Belphegor- Warbringer and Epicurean Live

Thrash metal's greatest legends still have plenty of warmongering to do and the genre is in capable, bloodstained hands for the future.
