Emmure and the Atlas Moth attempt to bully each other

         New York deathcore mainstays Emmure are one of the most polarized bands out there. While everyone loves to hate their breakdown-centric, lyrically hilarious, but nevertheless incredibly charismatic brand of deathcore, some people aren't willing to stay put and have an opinion in peace.
         Enter the Atlas Moth. A stoner metal band from Chicago that have just finished a tour with heavy-hitters like Gojira and Devin Townsend. Now on a European grand tour, the band has taken to defacing Emmure logos by behaving like sixth graders. Seriously.



         And to top it off, several homophobic attacks have been launched at Emmure frontman Frankie Palmeri via the Atlas Moth's instagram.  Palmeri replied today with an equally scathing tweet:

          Get your popcorn.

Enter Shikari preview new song - 'Paddington Frisk'

      

          British electro-shocked post-hardcore rockers Enter Shikari have previewed a new song entitled 'The Paddington Frisk', and an accompanying music video. The video, which parodies a bizarre Japanese game show (complete with someone in a crocodile costume hanging themselves), is silly as all hell, but all eyes remain on Shikari's new musicianship.
        And if it were any indication that good things are on the horizon, it's this. While the vocals remain traditional Shikari stock - a fine line between screaming and yelling - the instrumentals are a masterful mix between Common Dreads' bleepy-bloops and A Flash Flood of Colour's rapid, distorted onslaught. The band even throws in a 'BLEH' for good measure. To conclude: I'm excited.
