Soundgarden - Black Rain

Soundgarden are a Rock/Metal band from Seattle. They were one of the first and most influential bands from the Grunge movement, and many say that the band's break-up symbolized the end of the Grunge. However, they announced their comeback in 2010, and they have been working on a new album. Meanwhile, a new single has been released.

The Truth About Capitalism

Periphery - Icarus Lives!

Periphery is a recent and promissing Progressive Metal band. Their self-titled debut album was released about two years ago, and this year they will be releasing not one but two new albums (one of them being a concept album). Sounds exciting... meanwhile, I'll present to you their first single.
