Murder Construct’s “Red All Over”

Music and Music Videos

Have you been listening to the new Murder Construct record? If not, why the hell not? If so, it’s pretty awesome, right?

For those who don’t know, Murder Construct is a deathgrind supergroup consisting of members of Cattle Decapitation, Intronaut, Exhumed, Jesu, and a bunch of other heavy bands you’ve heard of. A couple years ago they put out a 7 track self-titled EP that acted as a total tease to what could be an incredible album experience. Thankfully the album was just released this month and it fucking slays.

The video above is exactly what you’d expect: fast cuts, blood, violent imagery, darkness. It’s awesome.

On singing in metal 2 – Intronaut’s “Australopithecus”

About Music, Music and Thoughts

This morning while avoiding sitting down to do actual real work, I was cruising the Deciblog and stumbled upon this new video by Intronaut. It’s stupidly awesome. The video echoes Jan Svankmajer’s Alice, but with a distinctly modern feel. The cut is sharp and punchy, and the cinematography conveys a palpable sense of dread. What more could you ask for from a metal video? That the song is appropriately killer? Taken care of. Harmonized growls, double bass, breakdowns, gnarly chorus; this song has it all.

So why is it in On singing in metal? I filed it there because of the musical shift at 2:14. I fully anticipated some truly awful singing destroying my initial impression of this song as pure slaughter. How delighted I was to make it through the calmer section to be greeted at the other end by the brutal crunch of the chorus! This is a perfect example of how to integrate melodic sections into your metal song without succumbing to the misguided need to throw in some contemptible “singing”. Intronaut, I salute you and your restraint and show of good taste. Well done.

The rest of you, pick up their record from Century Media here—Intronaut – Prehistoricisms. Only 10 bucks! That’s two beers WITHOUT tip. Do it.
