Nonpoint - Underdog https://youtu.be/hzY9Pz_g1hQ Just saw them with Mudvayne and Coal Chamber. Sounds like their fans will be happy. Looks like a lot of the footage came from that tour. Really holding onto that Nu-Metal flame. Not bad though.

Nightwish - Perfume of the Timeless https://youtu.be/oHCaZmIzr0o SUPER EPIC 8 minute banger. The video concept is cool, “ancestors dreams are why you are here.” DAMN, that last movement is heavier than expected.

Serj Tankian - A.F. Day https://youtu.be/-UVNjc6QAco written for SOAD, but released solo. I can kinda see it.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows - BLACK SAMURAI? Yeah,Yasuke was a real person, which is fitting for what we know of the storytelling of the franchise. Will they take some artistic liberties with the character? Yes, without a doubt, but if this is the ONLY issue you have with the “historical accuracy” of the Assassin’s Creed franchise, your racism is showing. The biggest liberty is that Yasuke wasn’t even a Samurai. But are they billing him as one?
