Scott's Metal Track of the Day - So Far Under by Alice In Chains

Scott's Metal Track of the Day - Domination (Live) by Pantera (RIP Vinnie Paul)

In honor of the sudden passing of the great Vinnie Paul last Friday, today's Metal Track is a live performance of Domination by Pantera. Vinnie was the drummer for Pantera, Damageplan, and HellYeah. He was also the brother of the legendary Dimebag Darrell. Everything you'll ever read or hear about these two brothers will paint a picture of two down to earth, fun loving guys. Both were taken way too soon.

Hopefully these two are jamming out in heaven right now just like they are in this video. 

RIP Vinnie!

Scott's Metal Track of the Day - Blot by Between the Buried and Me

Exploring the escape
Endless lives whispering by… so fast
Circulate

Today's Metal Track is my favorite track off of Between the Buried an Me's latest album Automata I. The other songs are great but this one immediately stood out to me. It has pieces of everything I love about BTBAM.

I was holding off posting this one with the hopes they'd release an official video for it but with Automata II scheduled to come out next month, I don't think that will be happening.

This is Blot
