Just a song I thought I’d share with you while we wait for Doomsday in America (or possibly Trumpmas)
Beast in Black — Blood of a Lion
This is a very cheesy very 90’s style powermetal band and I’m happy to have found them.
The other new band I’ve discovered in March in Arms. Which seems to be to be an American Sabaton in the making as all their songs are about the world wars.
Also the comments on the original footage are priceless. So if you have time get ahead and give those skim.

Controversy over the Krampus parade, in Vipiteno, South Tyrol. The traditional parade takes place in the days of St. Nicholas, with some inhabitants masquerading as devils, the Krampus precisely, who hurl themselves at the young spectators (the “provocateurs” according to the custom) of the place, soiling them with soot and hitting them with a kind of wooden scrape. A video, shot from a window and posted on Facebook, shows moments from the latest edition, with Krampus chasing and beating passers-by in the street, shielding and kicking. A violence that sparked a series of criticisms, so much so that the association that organizes the event every year has intervened on Facebook,

This is the third scifi art + music video that I’ve done and definitely the one I’m most happy with.
The art uses is a mix of 70’s era art I found on twitter from the usual sources; and a number of more modern artwork grabbed off of google images. There is a very definite ‘cities and bases’ theme to this video.
Here’s a few of my favorite pictures.
A great landscape piece with only the two starfighters or shuttlecraft giving any hint that this is a sci-fi setting.
An ice moon city made up of crater suburbs and linked by what looks like rail lines.
Giant mech versus some kind of superheavy tank. Hell Yeah!
Heavy duty asteroid mining gear.
Very dark and cyberpunky. Sadly no commies being thrown from the helicopters. Clearly a minor oversight by the artist.
Trex + Uboat = What exactly is going on here?
A beautiful winter spaceport scene. Love the VTOL.
