VISUAL AGGRESSION: New videos from Morbid Angel, Immortal, Overkill, Ováte, Nervosa, Lucifer

This video from MORBID ANGEL´s track "Garden Of Disdain" came as a surprise. The song belongs to the band´s latest album "Kingdoms Disdained" released in December last year.

The video produced by Nadar Sadek is really dark and disturbing, intersting indeed and far away from the typical cliches.

Last (but not least) here´s the advance video clip of the new single by LUCIFER, the trio featuring Nick Anderson on drums and Johanna Sadonis on vocals. "California Son" is the opening track of the new album "Lucifer II". The album comes out on July 6th.

I didn´t hear the debut album, so I discovered the band thanks to this song. I like this kind of vintage, retro rock or whateve is called. I first thoutght about Wolfmother, the sound (mainly the bass and guitar) instantly reminded me of the debut EP and the first full-lenght of the australian band. I like that stuff and so I like the vibe of this song (and the simple but cool vintage video clip). I really look forward to the release of Lucifer II.
