With production values rivaling The History Channel’s better documentaries about Hindu Mythology and carpenter tans of epic proportions comes Rudra, the Singaporean “Vedic Metal” outfit, with their video for Hymns from the Blazing Chariot. The song comes off their latest album, Brahmavidya: Transcendental I, which I got turned into after Zach mentioned it in some episode.

The song’s alright, it’s definitely not my favorite from the album but it serves its purpose as a video song pretty well. Check it out:

The one thing I still don’t get is their haircuts. Especially the vocalist/bassist; What the fuck is going on up there? If anything, everyone in that band should be sporting something similar to my boy Ravana’s do here:

Also, if Rudra’s next album isn’t a concept album about the Ramayana, I will be extremely disappointed. Thanks to our great fan and Food Network pundit Niro Narendran for the heads up.

That’s 5ºC, which translates to 41ºF. Al Gore can go fuck himself right after he tries to explain to me why the fuck it’s so goddamn cold in Miami right now.

Before anything, I’d like to wish you a late merry christmas and happy new year. Hope all of you had a great time doing whatever it was that you did.

As you may have guessed by this post’s title, I have returned to the Wordless Chamber. That’s Miami, for all of you out there not so well versed in Metalscape lore.

I failed to work on the Nicaraguan Photojournal yet again, mostly due to the fact that I had no camera to work with. I thought of bringing my own, but I didn’t want to carry even more shit on the plane than I already was. So next time, I promise.

So as to not make this post completely useless, I’ll answer some questions you may have about the show, if you still care about Metalscape:

1. Yes, there is a new episode recorded, the Xmas Episode!
2. No, I won’t post it anytime soon since I’m still missing Zach’s part and he’s been missing for the last 2 months.
3. No, Metalscape is not dead.
4. Yes, you should buy a shirt. I just bought one for my own and it rocks my ass hard.

Stay Metal.
