New-ish Darkest Hour

Here's some metal to balance out the post below. This is the first track off of the new Darkest Hour album.



At this point, this is probably the only way to start a melodeath album. You gotta have the straight double kick and snare fills with low chug/octave buildup for the first few bars. Then you can bring in your first verse with the offbeat snare. This album is so much better than their last one, in my opinion. They basically just shred hard for half an hour. But it's nice and melodic without diving into the metalcore deep end. Very solid. Check out the live performance below.



Thanks, Metal Injection. You're a peach. A PEACH!

Hi

I noticed you have a link to the Cornify bookmarking tool and I thought you might be interested in animator Julia Pott's latest collaboration with Malibu.

"Islandize" - a bookmarking tool inspired by the same technology as Cornify that transforms any browser window into a tropical paradise filled with animated gifs of Pott's artwork.

Julia has created tongue-in-cheek GIFs that reflect the island mindset and that "islandize" any Internet experience: swaying palm trees, crashing waves, coconuts, you get the idea...

And just in case, here's the video tutorial on how to do it:
