The band wants you to direct and produce your own Powerman music video! The contest is simple...make your own music video for the title track from PM5K's new album, "Destroy What You Enjoy". The video does not have to be the full length of the song, but must be at least one minute long. It does not have to be “Lord of the Rings”, we are ultimately looking for creativity not a pro-filmed video.

All clips will be reviewed based on originality, views and user ratings. The winner will receive a grand prize consisting of a signed Schecter Omen-6 guitar and a pair of LIFETIME VIP Passes to any Powerman 5000 show.

MORE PRAISE FOR DWYE 07/06/06
Early word on the album looks good...
This just in from Adrenalin Fanzine,"The album is hard drivin', pedal to the metal - full throttle rock and roll, like I expected. Upbeat and highlighted throughout with Spider Ones' one of a kind vocals." We couldn't have said it better ourselves!!
Live4metal.com rang in early with these comments, "greasy and grimy... it's a damned fine improvement." Thanks guys!
ECRomper.com was kind enough to comment, “Destroy” has some quality moments in tracks like Who Do You Think You Are ?, Enemies, Heroes And Villians (Live) and All My Friends Are Ghosts"
Piercingmetal.com states 'DWYE is a well-crafted album that does rock, and it rocks hard. Sometimes that is all you need.'
Keep it coming!!!
