Red Fang have once again outdone themselves . The new video for “Wires” finds the band spending their $5000 budget in the most epic of ways. I don’t want to spoil anything so check it out below:
Amazing, right? This band rips. They also added some awesome posters and accessories to their merch store so be sure to take a peek.

I looked up “hidden treasure” on google images and found nothing but creepy pictures and off topic images of strange people.
This weeks deal however, is righteous on all accounts. Clutch’s “Hidden Treasure” shirt is only $5.99! Featuring what appears to be a young Lincoln exploring some strange cousins from the west with some interesting binoculars. Supplies are limited so be sure to snag one before it sells out in your size.
Click here to find “Hidden Treasure.”
Shop for new items including the “Calvary” hoodie at the official Clutch merch store.
Pre-orders for the highly anticipated new album from Unearth are now up! “Darkness in the Light” features eleven scorching tracks that will surely make you start a circle pit in your moms basement! The band recently dropped the first song for the masses to listen to titled “Eyes of Black” that can be sonically soaked in HERE. It’s a ripper.
The fine folks at Metal Blade dropped four unique packages, two of which include a BEER BONG. How cool is that? Nothing like putting on a new record from one of your favorite bands whilst chugging a sixer of bee…I mean soda.
Click here to shop the “Darkness in the Light” pre-orders.
*PRE-ORDER* will ship on or around 06/30/2011

Charging out of the late 90s Massachusetts underground in a storm of thunderous riffs and focused aggression, in 2011 Unearth proudly stand at the forefront of modern metal. With Darkness In the Light, their fifth full-length, the quintet have delivered their most honest, powerful, and compelling statement to date, driving a fist into the collective gut of every image-obsessed wannabe metal band currently cluttering up the landscape, and setting a new standard when it comes to marrying precision brute force and exhilarating melody.
Extreme metal maniacs Revocation are back with a slew of updates. First off, the band just posted a new song titled “Cradle Robber” off their new album “Chaos of Forms.” The album is set to drop on August 16th via Relapse Records.
Listen to the new song “Cradle Robber” HERE.
The band has also posted a studio update to show their progress on what appears to be a great album in the making:
Last but certainly not least, a new shirt just hit their store titled “Skull Hammered”:
Pick this up along with some other sweet gear at the official Revocation merch store.
The Techno Viking would approve of the deal of the week. #7 in our series of money saving madness, we present to you Howl’s “Viking” tee! This doom metal band from Rhode Island has been crushing audiences for the past couple of years and are prepping a follow up to their last album “Full of Hell.”
Snag some other sweet shirts at the Howl official merch store.
If you aren’t familiar with the Techno Viking, get informed:
