The American death-metal group CARNIFEX just released their new album art for ‘Hell Chose Me’ and it’s mind blowing.  Victory Records explains that this album is taking a much darker approach then the band as traditionally taken. They go as far as to say that it is going to be even more blasphemous. With that said the album art was designed to depict this and they were definitely successful.

They don’t discuss the album too much in depth because they want to create anticipation for the album’s release on February 16th 2010. What they do say is that the bands expression of isolation and despair is still very much apparent.

Get Pumped!

Victory Record’s Driver Side Impact has recorded four new killer melodic tracks for their new EP Double Vision. The cover art is unbelievable and easily could be framed and hung on your wall to trip out all of your friends. Don’t look at it for too long though.

Only catch is that this EP is a digital only EP so you can’t really hang this on your wall. However, it’s pretty cool to look at. This digital EP will be available at your local digital provider on January 12th, 2010.

To get you stoked for the new EP check out their official video of ‘All for Nothing’ after the jump!

‘Tis the season to curl up by the fire and watch Christmas movies, listen to Christmas songs, and eat Christmas Cookies. This is also the time to watch funny Christmas videos!!! Like this animated version of a Beatle’s Christmas!

It’s a little weird and a little random but festive none the less. There’s nothing like a homage to one of the best Rock Bands of all time!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Everyone!

It’s that time of year again when Victory Records calls upon Santa(Mosh) to rock out in the streets with his spin-kicks, two-steps, and stage drives to spread holiday cheer!!! This year their annual Santa Mosh video features OTEP and be prepared to want to jump out of your seat and mosh wherever you are!

Happy Holidays from The Rock Dose and of course Victory Records!

You can also score some sick Mosh attire from the Victory Records site! These shorts are a must have!

This video should definitely bring back some memories! Remember Band Aid? That charity group from the 80’s made up of British and Irish musicians such as Sting, Phil Collins, and Bono, just to name a few, who got together to sing ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas?’ in an attempt to raise funds and awareness of world famine. To their own surprise the song became the number one Holiday song. To this day it’s a classic that many look forward to catching on TV each year.

Happy Holidays Everyone!
