Devin Townsend Trying To Replace Mike Patton As Planet’s Busiest Dude

Posted by Chris Harris on February 7, 2012 in In the Studio, News

I’d have to say that I think Devin Townsend and Mike Patton are equally rad. They’re both innovators. They both created albums I will likely listen to until my dying breath. They are both classy, cool-ass motherfuckers who like to keep full plates. Devin Townsend may be gunning for Mike Patton’s title, one he received Read More

Korpiklaani Still Hard To Spell, To Release New Album In August

Posted by Chris Harris on January 26, 2012 in Featured, In the Studio, News

I am a fan of Korpiklaani, believe it or not. I’m just not a fan of typing Korpiklaani. I’m always worried I’ve misspelled it.

Anyways, Korpiklaani have entered the studio to Read More

Yes kids — Strife are working on a new album. No…it isn’t 1997. It is, in fact, 2012, the year the world will crumble into oblivion. Which gives me little time to find a wife.
