Videos of the Week 9/27/09

Lite "The Sun Sank"


Up first this week we have a a brand new video from post-rock instrumental band Lite. This song is actually quite a bit different than their previous releases, featuring lots of synths and and a generally more pop sound. That doesn't mean it's any less complex, though! The video follows suit, being a pretty simple idea, but done in a very interesting way.

Hit the jump for the rest of this week's videos!



sgt. - Live


Since we're on the subject of instrumental bands, here's a live clip from sgt. Since they have a new album coming out soon, I thought it was time to take a look at them again. This clip is a performance from about a year ago. It really kicks in about two minutes in. I've had a chance to hear the new album, and i think we'll be hearing a lot more about these guys in the near future.



Skywings are a rather new epic metal band. I've been keeping an eye on them since their demo was released a while back. This is their first official PV from their debut album The Advent Melody which is out very soon. Fans of X-Japan, take note!

Mass of the Fermenting Dregs "D-Angle"


Here's a very cool live performance from Mass of the Fermenting Dregs. It's always nice to see a trio really rock out, sounding like a band twice their size. Also, there's something about a small, barefooted woman with a huge bass, shouting her head off...Anyway, if you like this one, check out the rest of the gig as well!

Dead Man's Bones "Name in Stone"


This week's non-Japanese video is a great one, in my opinion. Need something to get you into the Halloween spirit? Then this is the video from Dead Man's Bones for you! I was originally going to post something on their song "My Body's a Zombie for You," which is probably a more interesting song, but I think this video totally blows that one out of the water. I really need to look further into what these guys are all about.

OK, that's it for this week!
