You can view the video, which features a party gone awry, below:

It’s 2012, and you know what that means: it won’t be long until either the world ends or a whole bunch of people freak out for no reason in particular—sort of like Y2K, only more widespread/insane. I don’t know about you, but I can’t really think of anything more fitting than listening to a handful of emphatic metal songs about our (potential) impending doom to count down the time until the apocalypse.

You’ll either be going out on the most metal note, or just be listening to great metal for no real reason—that’s about as close to a win-win situation as you can have at the end, right?

For someone who likes metal, is there anything more satisfying than listening to a band that can only be classified as “pure metal” and nothing more? The answer is no, not really.

• Whoever turned back the clock to 1993 needs to step up and own it.
• We can already see Bob Dylan rolling over in his thankfully not-yet-occupied grave.
• So much mind-boggling news from Queen. Not sure what to be the most excited/dismayed about.
• Is it just us or did Russell Simmons just compare himself to Mohammad Ali?

Spleen

“Flowerdrops”
Techno Channel
Capturing the essence of the spring season, “Flowerdrops” is an aesthetic movement, opening with aquatic noises and washed-out drums and culminating with warm synthesizers and airy atmospherics.
RIYL: Album Leaf, Eluvium, Explosions In The Sky

Seasons After

“Some Things Burn”
Metal Channel
These heavy-hitting rockers from Wichita, Kansas dole out skull splitting riffs while lead singer Chris Schlichting serves listeners with searing vocals (pun intended).
RIYL: Bullet For My Valentine, Atreyu, Avenged Sevenfold

YOUNG FAME

“Callin’ Shots”
Hip Hop Channel
Young Fame proves his namesake should be true with “Callin’ Shots.” This young rapper is reminiscent of radio friendly ‘hop that doesn’t need samples to be infectiously chant- worthy.
RIYL: Lupe Fiasco, Jim Jones, Young Jeezy
