Well, this is pretty cool: Trivium frontman Matt Heafy has recorded a metal cover of “Toss a Coin to Your Witcher”. It works rather well, too. The song is the catchy-AF song from The Witcher TV adaptation.

You can watch Season 1 of The Witcher on Netflix. Andrzej Sapkowski’s Witcher novels are published by Orbit in North America and Gollancz in the UK. Trivium’s latest album, What the Dead Men Say, is out now via Roadrunner Records. The title track is the latest single, and you can watch the video for that, below:

Music: “Unsainted” by Slipknot (Roadrunner Records)

Above is the new music video for Slipknot‘s latest single, “Unsainted”. Taken from the upcoming album, We Are Not Your Kind, it’s really good. For me, it strongly calls to mind their earlier albums, and in some very good ways. Continue reading →

New Music: TRIVIUM and FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH

August 13, 2015April 20, 2016 Civilian Reader Music, Video 5FDP, Eleven Seven Music, Five Finger Death Punch, Got Your Six, Jekyll and Hyde, Metal, Must Listen, Roadrunner Records, Rock, Silence in the Snow, Trivium

Here are a pair of new music videos for two of my favourite bands: TRIVIUM and FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH.

Trivium, “Silence in the Snow”

A great new song, this time with a power metal influence creeping in?

Silence in the Snow released by Roadrunner Records on October 2nd, 2015.

Five Finger Death Punch, “Jekyll and Hyde”

Amusing intro, followed by a now-typical 5FDP stomper. Reminiscent of “The Pride” from American Capitalist (2011).

Got Your Six is released by Eleven Seven Music on August 28th, 2015. The other song already circulating from the album, “Hell to Pay”, is also very good.

Music: WE ARE HARLOT

March 31, 2015April 20, 2016 Civilian Reader Music Brian Weaver, Bruna Agra, Dancing on Nails, Danny Worsnop, Denial, Jeff George, Must Listen, Roadrunner Records, The One, We Are Harlot

Asking Alexandria’s From Death to Destiny was one of my favourite albums from last year. It’s probably one of my favourite albums full stop, too. I was most upset, therefore, to learn that Danny Worsnop (AA’s vocalist) was leaving the band. However, he has a new band! Teaming up with Jeff George (formerly Sebastian Bach’s guitarist), Brian Weaver (former bassist for the also excellent Silvertide) and Bruno Agra (former drummer for Revolution Renaissance), he’s back in We Are Harlot. The band’s eponymous new album dropped this week (released by Roadrunner Records).
