IF ONLY I COULD BATHE IN BLOOD MORE OFTEN

OH, Bloodbath. How your sweet, melodious death metal titillates my eardrums so. Your fantastic album The Fathomless Mastery ranked #10 on Axl’s 2008 year-end list. When will you return to grace us with more old-school style death metal beatdowns? Soon, please; soon.

Thank you, MS reader Stephen Rafferty, for reminding me of this great band and their brutally low-budget and brutally death metal video for “Hades Rising,” (which yes, I know, we’ve posted before). Says Stephen, “I’m guessing the budget for this was about $100 and most of that was for beer. I mean, the band footage looks like it was shot by a cable access show in Idaho.”
