Remember that Clams Casino and DOOM track that dropped earlier this year called " BOOKFIEND "? Well, it turns out that it was actually a remix of a JJ DOOM joint, "BOOKHEAD", that we haven't heard yet. And before we do, we're getting a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of its video with director/graffiti artist Steve "ESPO" Powers. As you'll see in the clip, it involves DOOM taking on a new mask, which I don't spoil here, and the villain even goes on to break down the meaning of the track. Hopefully this means we'll get to see the actual [...]

Since Victor is being Victor, meaning a great guitar player and song writer, there are traces of his other band Place Of Skulls in some of the new songs which is only natural but the best thing is that everyone involved in recording this beast are playing at the top of their game and they seemed to have a [...]

It describes the layers of the ocean going from light piano driven classical music to hellish sludge metal… and it’s all beautiful. The Ocean is a band that comes off as progressive metal, but [...]
