Formed at the dawn of 2001 by the songwriting team of Shir Deutch and Opher Vishnia, along with keyboardist / producer Shai Yallin, Solstice Coil first broke into the consciousness of the Israeli music scene by touring the country as a Radiohead and Muse cover band, working with various bass players and drummer Uri Goldberg, while perfecting their own material behind the scenes.

From "Deep Child"
"She will soon be protecting my closet
Dismemberment's best friend, the morrow
Forces itself upon my bed..."

One of the most interesting musical stories of 2009stories

Derek Webb's Stockholm Syndrome was one of the most interesting musical stories of 2009. After a public fight with his record label over potentially controversial content on the record (one song specifically), Webb released the record himself at derekwebb.com. Edited and unedited versions of the album are currently available.

Clown Vs Ninjaspress
Clowns vs. Ninjas is an epic short film crafted in the spirit of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" featuring music from the Los Angeles based rock band "The Other Side of Morning".

In the video a Japanese warlord has grown bored with the usual mayhem and murder. Craving some other form of twisted fun he orders his thugs to organize the ultimate bloody battle, a troop of unsuspecting clowns versus a pair of ninja assassins. Hilarity ensues as heads roll courtesy of a low budget, 1980s style of guts and gore.
