FOR THE LOVE OF METAL
After a brief break we are back with the Handshake Hellbound Clip Of the Week! And this week’s is a doozie. Here is a new video that was made for the recent TODAY IS THE DAY North American tour. The video is for the title track from the band’s amazing Temple Of The Morning Star album, released in the late 90s on Relapse. And without further adieu…

Imagine, if you will – a raw distillation of the best of the Amphetamine Reptile catalogue in its heyday, veering past the outskirts of black metal territory, and fronted by Supergrover, if he had a severe antisocial personality disorder coupled with a propensity to sing through ground-down teeth, in phlegm-clearing snarls, growls and shrieks. Congratulations, you’ve just come close to conjuring up Oslo’s startlingly visionary Årabrot and the sound of their latest blood offering, Revenge.
