VIDEO OF THE WEEK – TWELVE FOOT NINJA

VIDEO OF THE WEEK – TWELVE FOOT NINJA

Posted by | May 30, 2021 | , ,

As the rays of light at the end of the dark tunnel that has been the past 14 months of isolation and generally being shit upon from great heights grow brighter day by day, the rock ‘n’ roll year that is 2021 has somehow crept, crawled and sneaked closer to its halfway point, with its DMs firmly planted in the mire and muck of the chaos around it, with a healthy slew of new music pinging itself our way, and especially the continuing tsunami of submissions we receive for our coveted ‘Video Of The Week’ award… Yes, as we’ve said on multiple occasions, one constant throughout the vagaries of inconsistent and often hard to stomach lockdowns is the amazing level of adaptive creativity that bands and video directors the length and breadth of the Überverse have continued to show, often in the most adverse of circumstances.

It hardly seems that long ago since Jonny B was sitting in his living room settling down for an evening with Ihsahn to enjoy his most recent solo EPs played in full. But there he was again and it seemed like the weather had turned suitably grim with an eerie chill in the air because he was sitting here to witness Ihsahn in the form that first brought him to the forefront. That’s right, it’s time for some true Norwegin black metal in the form of the absolutely formidable Emperor! With a setlist that promises to span through the back-catalogue and some special guests from some prominent characters in Emperor’s history, there was no way JB could miss this one. So he smothered his face in corpse paint, cracked open a hefty beer (yeah he knows it’s a Sunday but fuck it) and turned out the lights ready for some serious metal from one of the finest bands to come out of the early ’90s Norwegian scene.

NWoBHM veterans Tygers of Pan Tang return for 2021 with a collection of tracks taken from their extensive back catalogue.  Focussing on the last thirteen years the tracks compiled offer a snapshot of why Tygers deserve their highly regarded reputation and shows that their legacy continues to grow. Rather than looking to simply cobble together a best of, the band have also looked to include a few exclusive cuts and releases in order to make ‘Majors & Minors’ more than just a stop gap release.

Let’s be honest, the last 18 months or so have been pretty wearing on a global scale. The lack of activity has sent musicians into their bedrooms armed with acoustic guitars to pen heartfelt solo material and we will, no doubt, see a slew of bands lyrically lamenting everything from poor governance, high death rates, loss of freedom…etc. There has been enough material in the last year to fuel a million punk albums. In the midst of all this we still need some respite, some levity, some fun. We need some good old rock and roll, and this is where Watts come to the rescue.
