Cubane’s debut, C8H8, Set To Blow Up Your Speakers This Weekend

Posted by on Jan 23, 2009 in Rock | Comments

With a surprisingly warm Friday to start off the weekend, and because I’m just hours away from seeing Scott Weiland at the TLA, I’m in a pretty rocking mood.

Also might be because I’ve been checking out the new debut album from Newark, Delaware’s very own Cubane, entitled C9H8.

The band will be playing a local hometown show to release the album tomorrow, so it’s only fitting that I send you off with some tunes to check out over the weekend. The album should be available digitally very soon, so be sure to check out the Cubane site or MySpace page for updates.

Because that’s the connection I have to Metallica. Rain, sleet, or snow – nothing was going to stop me from picking up their new album, Death Magnetic.

    • Metallica release video for “The Day That Never Comes”

    Metallica have just released the video for their first single from Death Magnetic, which is the almost eight minute long track “The Day That Never Comes”.

    The video was shot in California back in July and features the band playing fused with clips of soldiers in battle. After seeing the video I can pretty much assure fans that Metallica are indeed back. As if a lengthy track was a face melting solo wasn’t proof enough, then how about a eight minute plus video with clips of war?
