New Origin song

I don't think this has anything to do with the new album, but look how fucking cool it is!

Holy shit-fuck Batman, there's no way it's already Friday again. Seriously, I feel like I just wrapped up last week's Friday post, then took a weed nap and woke up to do this one. But regardless, it is indeed Friday, but before we go we have a couple juicy little tidbits to help you start your weekend off right. First up is a brand new song from the highly anticipated upcoming album from Origin, called "Explosion of Fury". And in case you didn't guess, it's just as crazy fast and sweet as any other song the band has put forth; basically the title describes it perfectly. I'll be honest, I think it lacks some of the beefiness of their last album, but there's more actual soloing going on, and their new vocalist Jason Keyser (Mucopus, ex-Skinless) is much more diverse than James Lee, so it all balances out nicely. I mean come on, it's fucking Origin, they don't know how to be not good. Head on over to their Facebook page to check out the new song, as well as their tour dates with Hate Eternal, Vital Remains and Abysmal Dawn this summer. The new album Entity will be available on June 7th via Nuclear Blast Records, and if the rest of the songs are like this (or better, you never know with these dudes) then it will definitely be worth our while to say the least. Stay tuned, there's more to come.

New Origin album

I was going to put this up over the weekend, but as luck would have it I was actually able to go out and do stuff when this was announced, so once again Metalsucks beat me to the punch, what with their professionalism and all. But anywho, for those of you who don't know by now, Origin have announced the details of their next full length album. It's called Entity, and I don't know about you guys, but I'm totally digging the album art. The band said in their statement over the weekend that they wanted an album cover that reflects the desolation and ominousness (it didn't give me a red squiggly line when I wrote that, but I still don't think "ominousness" is a real word) of the music, something that looks evil without relying on crazy giant space alien monster things, and the artist Colin Marks accomplished just that. As of this writing there are no new tracks up to preview the album, but it's friggin' Origin, so I think it's safe to assume it's gonna be super fast and super brutal. We'll find out for sure on June 7th when Entity drops via Nuclear Blast Records, and don't forget that Origin are the main support for Hate Eternal's summer tour this July and August. Gonna be some crazy shit.

Now before we go, I have one more thing to say. I've noticed a general lack of conversation here, make sure you leave comments and make profiles to follow us and all that crap, I'm not just saying that to hear myself talk. We want to do all this cool stuff for you, but you guys have to help us help you. Tweet the articles, make profiles to follow the blog, send us emails with suggestions or any other feedback, it doesn't matter, but speak the hell up, people! We're not half-assing it here, you shouldn't either. Take care everyone, and keep tuning in for more.

Shit Hardcore Kids Wish They Could Play: Episode 2

Hello again my fellow haters of flat brimmed hats, The Baby Killer is here once again to offer you another breath of fresh air after drowning in neon orange Osirises and bright purple Sky Eats Airplane shirts. Let me ask you a question: when you think of Topeka, Kansas, what comes to mind?

...

Exactly. However, the heart of tornado country is home to the next band in this series, and it's fitting because these guys are the musical equivalent of an F5. I'm talking of course about the  death metal titans known as Origin. They've been melting faces with their lightning speed and menacing tremolo picked riffs since the turn of the century, and in those ten years they have not slowed down one bit. In fact, they've only gotten tighter, and after the addition of their new vocalist Mica "Maniac" Meneke (of Ontogeny fame, for all four of you who have heard of Ontogeny), I personally cannot wait to hear what their next album will be like. But until then, we can satisfy ourselves with the video from their 2008 release "Antithesis", their fourth and final album with James Lee behind the mic. Brace yourselves for the musical assault that is "Finite". (Warning: any aspiring guitarists, don't be surprised if the sweeps starting at the 1:38 mark make you want to give up, I know it did for me)

Let's see them dance to that shit. Be sure to check in often for articles/videos from all the other writers too; I may be a workaholic when it comes to Mosh Rebellion but I'm only one of several writers who are just as dedicated and true. Take care, and make sure you don't end up looking like this guy.

Love,
