Metal drummer Alex Rudinger posts a new video

SO as some of you may know I am a drummer which makes me gravitate to other drummers, and throughout metal are a lot of great drummers. Alex Rudinger is a badass drummer, he filled in for Revocation while their drummer was healing from an injury. He has played for Monuments, as well as the Faceless. He has posted videos of his playthroughs for songs like ” Atlas” by Monuments, as well as play throughs for even an “Eminem” song say what you say ( check it out here https://youtu.be/ti7AJS1kQYI ) today he posted a video for  Dismantle the dictator by Revocation. You really have to give this guy credit, he is a great drummer, check out his video for his dismantle the dictator playthrough here; https://youtu.be/ofcKNk1sIR4

Cradle of Filth still busy doing their thing. if your into that kind of thing.

So Cradle of Filth are still contributing to the music world. They have premiered their new video ” Right Wing of the garden triptych” here at vimeo  https://vimeo.com/127013325   I havent really been a fan since Nick Barker left the drum duties.  If you ask me Cruelty and the beast is the last good album. My own personal opinion as I lean more towards talented drummers. Nick Barker is the best I believe they had, also Cruelty had a cover of Iron Maidens ” Hallowed be thy name”. so at any rate new video check it out if you are a fan.

Between The Buried and Me new video ” The Coma Machine”

BTBAM have premeired a nice 9 minute long video for ” The Coma Machine”  you can check it out  by clicking this link http://youtu.be/R40wAZxMsTg.     They recently played the New England Hardcore and Metal Festival at the Worcester Palladium in April.  Me personally i have really enjoyed their last two albums but you have to give these guys credit for playing Bohemian Rhapsody live at the festival. Many videos were going around of the live act,  their album Anatomy of a Rockstar” was a killer cover album, so I would like to see them do that again and play Boheiam Rhapsody.  They do try to test the limits with their experimental sound that have gathered such a large fan base. At any rate check out the video and see for yourself

Grizzly knows No Remorse

Grizzly knows No Remorse have just premiered their new album  not sure if its a physical print or what. Their bandcamp page says it was released in April for digital download.. Maybe its just getting heard now,  the album is titled  ” Fat Glasses and the Leather Mustache”. they have a rock/punk/hardcore style sound.  For fans of the Helldozers, Shotgun Rebellion,  Jesus Mullet and He is legend.  Their album is already on Spotify  you can also check it out on this link for their bandcamp page  https://gknr.bandcamp.com/
