Metal for a New Massacre
Posted: 4/11/2008
Reppin' the Bay in full force, Animosity unleashes the video for the song Teeth Grinder for world premiere April 11 on MTV2's Headbanger's Blog. Following its blogisphere release, the video will make its television debut April 12 on MTV2's Headbanger's Ball.
Under the direction of skate video extraordinaire Richie Valdez (Job For A Cowboy, Every Time I Die), Animosity randomly explores San Francisco in typical Animosity fashion with its goofy antics and running-a-muck silliness.
Vocalist Leo Miller didn't use his parent's, contemporary-art-lined house for Teeth Grinder's filming like he did for The Black Page. The band instead took its shenanigans to the gritty streets, hilariously ravaging several cultural attributes that epitomize San Francisco.
Animosity first hit the scene in 2000, when most of the members were only 15 years old, with a blistering brand of death metal/hardcore that sought to defy stereotypes and spit in the face of the mainstream. Almost two years after their Black Market Activities debut, Animosity is back and poised to showcase their tremendous talent and growth with Animal.
