Explore See latest videos, charts and news The game-break timing made sense, since the nearly three-minute visual ends with a plug for Ye’s mass market fashion line Yeezy Gap, with the $80 unisex black (or blue) hoodie he sports in the video available for purchase after the ad run. In keeping with the song’s dark, grinding vibe, the action takes place in a dystopian city peopled by figures in the black hoodies and the style of face-obscuring mask the rapper has taken to wearing over the past year. “N...

There’s Always Blood At The End Of The Road – WIEGEDOOD
RATING: 9/10 Black metal trio WIEGEDOOD were birthed from the same Belgian collective of musicians that gave rise to other recent, notable acts such as AMENRA and OATHBREAKER, with its membership also having served stints with those acts at different points throughout their careers. Much as AMENRA twists the apocalyptic-sludge blueprint of bands such as NEUROSIS by adding multiple layers of suffocating emotional weight and OATHBREAKER generates an artsier take on the metallic hardcore of CONVERGE, WIEGEDOOD takes the more pummeling end of the black metal spectrum and adds a caustic coat of industrial-metal grime to put forth a corrosive cacophony that is relentlessly sinister from start to finish. The trio’s fourth full-length, “There’s Always Blood At The End Of The Road...
