The X Playlist
#1 Sevendust - Decay
Black Out The Sun is the name of the amazing album this song comes off of. If we were you, we would totally run out and buy this album so all the people you know that listen to terrible music can see this album in your collection and then have a life-altering moment when they finally realize what good music is supposed to sound like.
#2 Soundgarden - By Crooked Steps
We know, it sounds like a nursery rhyme, that is until you actually hear the song and it's pure awesome-ness blows you away. Suddenly, you can't walk or speak. You are that zoned out thanks to the trip this song takes you on. Music kicks ass.
#3 Slash - Anastasia
Have you heard Slash's guitar work in this song? If you want to know why Slash is the legend that he is, listen to this song three times on a loop. Your mind, your head and your brain will thank you.
#4 Black Sabbath - God Is Dead?
First full album by Sabbath with Ozzy in 35 years? Iommi kicking off the song with dark and brooding guitars? A song title with a question mark in it? This tune has it all!!
#5 Texas Hippie Coalition - Damn You To Hell
Bow down to the New Gods of Texas metal. We love THC here at The X, and judging by the interest in our Free X Show with these guys, you like them as much as we do. That's always a really, really, good thing.
#6 Volbeat - Hangman's Bodycount
These Danish rockers are back, and this time it's personal. They have finally conquered America, now they look to secure their dominance with this stupid good song off their latest album. Mission Accomplished. No?
#7 Stone Sour - Do Me A Favor
Do us a favor and enjoy the amount of work Corey Taylor is pulling off here. He's released a double album, put out a comic book and wrote his second novel this year. That wouldn't be that hard if even one of those things sucked. Here's the thing, none of them do!
#8 Rob Zombie - Dead City Radio and The New Gods Of Supertown
That is a long title, forgive us when we only call it Dead City Radio here on The X. You see, we have been cursed by some man witch. If we say a song title with more than 6 words, we die. You ever see that Eddie Murphy movie A Thousand Words? No? Us either.
#9 Device - Villify
What has David Draiman been up to since Disturbed is on hiatus, you ask? Oh, not much...just creating his own record label and forming a new band and then kicking a bunch of ass with it. Meanwhile, we just made a peanut butter sandwich. Point Draiman.
#10 In This Moment - Adrenalize
Nice to see them come back to Boise after our open letter to them! So as long as people are paying attention. Open Letter to Kate Upton: Come to Boise and hang out in our studios for the day. We will let you pick the music. Promise. Clothing optional.
#11 Alice In Chains - Stone
Album #2 with William Duvall as the lead singer. They appear to have found their groove just fine. Call us crazy, but we see big things for this band. Like headlining X-Fest 2013 BIG!! Get your tickets now!!
#12 Deftones - Swerve City
Chi Cheng may have passed away, but the band lives on. They dedicate almost every live performance to him and it's good to see they continue to make great music in his memory. This is a nice example of exactly that.
#13 All That Remains - Asking Too Much
ATR continues to pump out amazing music song after song. Their follow up to Carry On picks up where the last song left off. Phil loves you and is he Asking Too Much to get you to stop at the store for milk on your way home? The kids are thirsty!
#14 Red - Perfect Life
Call us crazy, but we kind of think this is a little bit of a different sound out of the guys in RED. It's a damn good song, so good to know that some things haven't changed at all!
#15 Beware Of Darkness - Howl
Really digging this song from a brand new band that you should get to know a little better. These guys out of California just plain get the job done and that is all you need to know.
#16 Pop Evil - Trenches
Michigan's favorite sons. If you go out of your way to read this, then we are going to reward you. Keep an eye on this band, there are rumors circulating that these folks could be heading our way very soon!
#17 Skillet - Sick Of It
These guys have had #1 songs, sold millions of albums so they know what it's like to be the best. All it takes is one guy to have 17 items in the express lane at the grocery store...and boom. They have another hit song on their hands.
#18 Heaven's Basement - Fire, Fire
Loving this band out of England that have opened for pretty much every rock band in the world when they play overseas. Nice to see them release a full album and get some love here stateside.
#19 Middle Class Rut - Aunt Betty
We've brought these guys in for a Free X Show before, now they are one of the bands we are bringing back to town for X-Fest 2013. Could not be more excited that they are on the bill. We love these guys and this song is off the chain! People still say that, right?
#20 Killswitch Engage - In Due Time
Jesse, the original singer has returned to the band. Some would say he has returned them to glory. Some would also say "Hey, hand me that socket wrench so I can hit myself in the face with it." It's true, some would say that.
