Blaxmyth - Set the Bomb Off



This video was produced as part of the Bodog Music Battle of the Bands, this one being the winner for the South Central Ghetto Metal Band Blaxmyth which guaranteed their becoming one of the final four bands in the competition. Ultimately they reached and final (which were broadcst live last night on Fuse) and even though they weren't the overall contest winners, they certainly showed that you can go quite a ways even if you defy conventional wisdom.

Inspired D-Roc, the late drummer for Body Count, Blaxmyth pick up where a great many bands have begun before, groups such as Fishbone, Follow For Now, Sevendust, 24-7 Spyz, Civil Rite, Bozaque and Living Colour who were all affiliated with the Black Rock Coalition in the early 90's. It's good to see someone still carrying forward the torch.

P.S. Both Body count and Living Colour are still recording and releasing records.
