Mumakil + Linkin Park = probably two of the most unexpected pairings of bands you'd think to see in a blog title, but in this case it's catch up for me and my recently postings. I really feel that Mumakil - the Swiss "blastcore" band that named themselves after the large elephant-like creatures in The Two Towers (so cool, I'm such a nerd) - lives up to its brutal declarations, and their live footage from Le Romandie further the point. As for Linkin Park, I'm going to bare all: I saw the second Transformers movie with a motley crew yesterday, and between writing about the video and then seeing the film - in which Jablonsky definitely borrows heavily from the LP single to compose the score during explosive peaks - the song has officially grown on me. It's definitely better than some of their singles from the past, despite how big it grew their nu-metal empire.
