Sorry if you are unable to watch the video. From what I understand it is available in Canada and US now. If you can’t see it, there are many versions on youtube, just low quality.
Death Cab for Cutie officially released their music video for ‘Meet me on the Equinox’, which is better known as the first track off of the new Twilight film soundtrack, New Moon.
The setting for the actual band is in an old dusty room with tons of light spilling in through the windows. It’s a very calm looking set.
For the first minute and a half, the band is playing in a room with various scenes from the new movie. The cool thing is that at 1:48, they all just stop and stare. More intense parts of the movie are played, and when it switches back to the band, the sun appears to go down, and the light fades. The band starts playing again, however, with much more energy, and in a dark setting.
The soundtrack for the movie is due out October 20th.
Album: Better Ways To Die
Artist: Death Before Dishonor
Release Date: July 28th/09
Tracks:
Boston hardcore band “Death Before Dishonor” are back with their third full length album, “Better Ways To Die”. 11 tracks of fast pace, in your face, passionate music. Produced by Jim Siegel( Dropkick Murphys, Blood For Blood) Better Way To Die is proof that Death Before Dishonor refuse to conform to the rules of modern hardcore
The opening track, “ Peace and Quiet” doesn’t hesitate to start the cd off with a bang. A shredding guitar solo on top of explosive drums, and thunderous bass, is how you are welcomed in classic Death Before Dishonor style. With the Cd being only 25 minutes long, one might wonder if it is worth being purchased. I would say most definitely. Sure it might be short with songs such as “Fuck This Year” being only 1:52, but trust me, this CD is worth a listen if you enjoy passionate, classic, hardcore music.
As for the lyrics, they are anything but meaningless. DBD Vocalist Brian Harris, writes about real life issues, and about the struggles of growing up in the projects of boston. The Song “Boys In Blue”, is about police brutalities and unfair tactics used by the police force. Harris is not afraid to express his feelings about any issue in a very blunt fashion, which in my opinion, is the best way to express it.
If you have never listened to Death Before Dishonor, I would recommend them to anyone who is a fan of bands such as The Mongoloids, Terror and First Blood. Fans of any heavy genres should be able to enjoy and respect this bands powerful, blunt lyric, heavy breakdowns and fast pace drumming.
