Additionally, the band launched a YouTube page, and released a live performance of the song, and this is where things get interesting. 

And so it begins, all this week (and perhaps some of next week), we will be recapping the best of the year, with year-end lists of albums, shows and other various lists from all Metal Injection contributors.
