ICYMI: WITCH TAINT Release New Video For “Changes (a Little Less Time for Satan)”
Sometimes, even when you’re the most brutal and grim black metal band in the universe, you have to admit that there’s more to life than worshiping the dark lord Satan. Gary, IN based duo WITCH TAINT have decided that they’re ready to fess up to as much, by way of their new music video for the song “Sometimes (a Little Less Time for Satan)”. Does the video come across as a bit overly obsessive about things like housing loans and procreation? Perhaps.

To learn more, check out the new video, which the band premiered earlier this week over at Metal Injection.

CARSON LUEDERS RELEASES OFFICIAL VIDEO FOR “YOUNG AND FREE”
PUSSY RIOT RELEASE “1312”
“1312” by Pussy Riot ft. Parcas, Dillom and Muerejoven is an international anthem against police brutality. Instead of serving people, police forces are oppressing activists, beating innocent people, and at the same time refusing to properly investigate femicides to eradicate them. It’s shameful that a policeman can attack a girl activist on a rally, but can’t find her when she’s missing and punish her rapist. Latin America is a region that suffers strongly from police barbarity and corruption, and that is the main topic of this song.
