Perfect timing! Six Feet Under’s excellent new album Undead lands in stores today. What a great time for them to announce a new guitarist? Ola Englund has joined the band, and will make his first official appearance with the band on the 18 Nights Of Blood Tour next month. Dude replaces Rob Arnold, who has Read More
This morning, J.B. Van Der Wal contacted us, simply with a link to Aborted’s Facebook page, where they have addressed questions raised following their most recent, bass-less shows. “To clear some things out jb van der wal did NOT walk out mid tour on us,” writes Aborted. “Jb has not been playing with Aborted since Read More
This isn’t cool. At all. I liked Aborted the way they were. I didn’t want my Aborted changing at all. It’s being reported that bass player J.B. Van Der Wal has left the band. Nothing’s been formally announced, and there’s no word yet on why J.B. bounced.
As far as I am concerned, there is no more Confession. Why? Well, because the Australian hardcore metal outfit has basically fallen apart. It appears the dudes in Confession tried to give a pink slip to frontman and band founder Michael Crafter. But upon learning of the band’s plans, the dude claims he actually fired Read More
Damn. Band dudes are leaving en masse lately, right? Guitarist Andrus Meret has decided to take leave of Burning Love, according to a statement from the band. “And then there were four…or possibly 5 still, we don’t know yet. Let me rewind by the events of the last few hours. This one’s a doozy,” says Read More
Oh no. This is the opposite of rad. Diamond Plate have announced that bassist and lead vocalist Jon Macak will be bouncing from the band’s current tour with Overkill and God Forbid, missing the final six shows. He’s gotta return home and tend to a recent family emergency. That blows, dude. Our thoughts are with Read More
Suffokate and frontman Ricky Hoover have parted ways. Say it ain’t so! I actually don’t care. “As of yesterday I announced I will no longer be in the band Suffokate,” says Hoover — who is seemingly obsessed with body modification — in a statement. “This has nothing to do with the fact I’m currently going Read More
Eh — we’ll all live, right? Stone Sour have announced that they have parted ways with bassist Shawn Economaki. And guess what? They’ve already found a new bassist for their ongoing recording sessions. We just don’t know who that guy is. That there is a picture guitarist Jim Root posted of the guy. Any one Read More
This fucking sucks a two-ton bag of ten-ton dicks. American black metal heroes Averse Sefira are done. They have officially disbanded. The band formed in 1996, and went on to make their mark through Europe and the Americas, performing with other notable black metal groups like Dark Funeral, Gorgoroth, Watain, Marduk, 1349, Absu, Antaeus, and Read More
I was going to be a dick and title this post “Trevor Strnad’s Deadspeak: A Note On BDM’s New Bassist,” but I guess that would have been a bit misleading. Trevor Strand — Black Dahlia Murder’s frontman, and (I guess, since dude don’t return emails anymore) ontime GSA columnist — has written a lengthy post Read More
