These Gents Reign in ‘Kings Of Chaos’
House of Blues in Las Vegas hosted a three day event called Kings Of Chaos where they assembled a supergroup to performed covers of iconic songs in metal. The Dec.1-3 event had vocalists Corey Taylor and Chester Bennington team up with drummer Matt Sorum (ex-Guns N’ Roses), bassist Robert DeLeo (Stone Temple Pilots), and guitarists Billy Duffy (The Cult) and Steve Stevens (Billy Idol) to add a new touch to classics such as “White Wedding” and “Ace Of Spades” among others. Though there’s currently fan filmed footage of the event as of now, it’s still an enjoyable trip down memory lane.

Queensryche Get REAL In New Video
Don’t expect a dude dressed like Satan or red chicks in sexy demon outfits this video, in fact don’t expect anything lighthearted! The legendary metal vets tackle the 2014 aviation tragedy of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 in their latest video for “Hellfire.” Aside from focusing on this catastrophe, Queensryche show the overall civil and political turmoil plaguing the globe. But not all is bleakness ladies and gents! The video is worth a watch not just because of the chaotic storytelling but because the song is also awesome.

Because we don’t want these bay area titans to shut up! The quintet present to us a super simple video with the super catchy song “Needle And Suture” which can be found on their latest album XI (which has been out since March). Sure the humongous eyelashes Nurse Sexy Face sports in this video are quite impressive but not as impressive as the track. Don’t believe me? See for yourself.

Supergroup Causes some sort of ‘Mindfight’
What supergroup, Jenny Oh?! You might be asking me or yourself or not at all is called Lock Up and let me tell you, this 2 minute song will have you stirring with fleeting aggression… much like in real life when you want to punch a wall in the moment. Lock Up executes this short track so well and is made up of drummer Nick Barker (Cradle Of Filth, Dimmu Borgir), vocalist Kevin Sharp (Brutal Truth, Primate), guitarist Anton Reisenegger (Pentagram), and bassist Shane Embury (Napalm Death, Brujeria).

Sepultura Declare War With ‘I Am The Enemy’
These icons need no introduction and whatever your take is on this not-so-new lineup for this band, let me just say that this lyric vide for “I Am The Enemy” is fairly entertaining and the song is pretty revolutionary. Though the lyric video itself is filled with your typical images of the band along with pictures of protestors and chaos, the song makes up for it.
