While Hemoptysis wait for the chance to impress industry types in Austin they're trying to win the Metal Insider No Label Needed Contest. You can vote once a day here through March 8.

Also, check out the above video, which chronicles the making of a video for the band's song "Shadow Of Death." That video should be out within a week or two, by the way, so check back here for an update.
