I knew you would, and this is such a great idea for a video, why wouldn’t you want to participate? Actually, its a mediocre, lazy idea that could end up being kind of awesome, if they edit it together well. Pantera apparently need fans for their “Piss” video. Sal Governale’s definitely been getting our Google Read More
A tipster reminded us this week of Lykathea Aflame, an awesome band we haven’t listened to in years. This tipster has informed us that Lykathea Aflame may or may not be recording now under the name Lykathe’ and that there is a new album on the way from a new lineup. We have no reason Read More
Yup. That’s the hot rumor of the moment. God, I hope it’s true, but something tells me it isn’t. The rumored split will allegedly features songs recorded some six years ago during Pig Destroyer’s Terrifyer sessions, and during the tracking of Black Dahlia Murder’s Miasma. The six-song split will apparently consist of punk covers, but Read More
Slayer are willing to sell you anything. Don’t be surprised. Dudes gotta retire at some point, and there are probably medical considerations (and bills, probably) to consider (and pay). So far, Slayer have tried to sell us rings and candy and jimmy caps. Now, there’s a Slayer woven tapestry blanket for you suckers to spend Read More
Oh boy. Wow. I can hardly wait. There are no two bands I’d rather see, and see together, than Motley Crue and Kiss. OK, maybe I’m flat-out fibbing. But who cares what some jerk-off in New York thinks about Kiss and Motley Crue touring…see, the thing is, if you pre-empt the backlash, it throws ‘em Read More
I guess now we now what the “+ More” is. The Orion Custom Car + Motorcycle Show, curated by Metallica frontman James Hetfield, will be part of the Orion Music + More festival, which will invade Atlantic City over two days this June. That’s June 23 and June 24 at Bader Field. Whatever the fuck Read More
Gee — thanks for giving me permission, TesseracT. You shouldn’t have. Really. I have never understood why other sites blow TesseracT’s nuts so hard, because quite frankly, I’d rather hear the sound of my own neck breaking than listen to these overblown hacks. Yes, I agree they are probably good musicians, but when I saw Read More
Admittedly, I had never heard of Sweden’s Morbus Chron before they signed this week with Century Media Records. Perhaps that’s why I am not an A&R dude. But I have to say — if this press release I received is actually not bullshit, they may be my new favorite band. “Often described as a perfect Read More
Is there no other label that’ll have The Bouncing Souls? Dude, in college, which was like 100 years ago, I used to love me some Bouncing Souls. Yes, I listened to punk. I listen to metal and hardcore. I even liked ska; I still maintain Mephiskapheles are awesome. The Bouncing Souls were punk — if Read More
Seriously? A second straight week, and you fucks can’t get your shit together enough to announce another band for the bill? As you may remember, the Summer Slaughter organizers promised to reveal a band from this summer’s bill every Sunday until the entire lineup was finally unveiled. Then, they stopped doing that like two weeks Read More
